 Did you know that working with a Registered Dietitian during your treatment care and help improve the outcome of your treatment.


Preventing malnutrition (undernutrition) during treatment can:
- decrease hospitalizations
- increase your chance to stay on schedule with your treatment
- improve your outcome and tolerance of treatment
- improve your quality of life during treatment
.. and so much more.


Most cancer care centers do provide nutrition support, guidance, or in person assessments to patients with the hopes of PREVENTING malnutrition. They follow a reactive approach - a consult is placed once signs of malnutrition are present.


Your goal, as an oncology patient, should be to PREVENT onset of malnutrition. Once your body is in a malnourished state during cancer therapy, it is very hard to play catch up.


Work with an Oncology Certified Registered Dietitian during your cancer treatment/therapy to help maximize your nutritional status during treatment!


If you or someone you know is going through cancer treatment therapy, and their facility does not offer nutrition services, please schedule an appointment with me, a Board Certified Oncology Dietitian.


Schedule an appointment


I would love to help guide you through your journey
