A cancer diagnosis can make the world of nutrition even more confusing and overwhelming than it was before.

Add some Netflix documentaries to that and you can be left in total fear of food.

My main goal as your Registered Dietitian is to help you navigate the swarm of information by separating fads from facts. This way we can create a personalized cancer diet plan based on foods you enjoy, your lifestyle, budget, sensitivities, and more.

Following a 10-hr brain surgery to remove a benign brain tumour back in 2013, I suffered with constant, debilitating headaches, out-of-whack hormones, and completely sapped energy levels. I felt a lack of control and that my body had betrayed me. After trying everything and attending every possible appointment, I almost gave in to the advice of "just accept it." Then I had a moment of clarity. None of the health professionals ever talked to me about my nutrition. I pulled on my Neuroscience and Nutrition background and dove deep into the research  — past the generic nutrition information.

I now devote my expertise to helping others navigate not only what to eat but also when to eat it so that they can find their glow and feel like themselves again.

Nutrition has a powerful effect on repairing gut health, improving mental fatigue and clarity, and helping cope with stress. A properly tailored plan can also reduce your risk of recurrence and improve medication side effects.

Let’s bust through some biases and peel away the fear tactics to leave you with a healthy, balanced approach to feeding your body.
