Cancer Support
With the intention to provide an integrative approach to most effectively treating a cancer diagnosis, with the aim to reduce the adverse side effects of conventional cancer treatments, support the body to nourish itself and optimise its function and, support the prevention of recurrence
As a naturopathic nutrition and lifestyle medicine practitioner, I will not offer any patient with a cancer diagnosis any guarantee or exaggerated expectation of cure. I fully respect conventional cancer treatments and will never interfere with nor try to replace such treatments. I will however support a patient suffering with cancer or undergoing cancer treatment, with a carefully curated diet and targeted lifestyle protocols. At all times, I will ensure that my recommendations in no way interfere with the treatment a patient may be undergoing, including all types of chemotherapy.
I will focus on cancer prevention and general support, promoting specific dietary habits that eliminate all cancer promoters (such as refined carbohydrates, processed meats, dairy, artificial sweeteners, etc.) and ensure a nutrient-dense diet, rich in antioxidants, quality protein and high-fibre foods, to optimise the body´s elimination processes and support blood glucose balance, both of which are essential for minimising DNA oxidative damage in the body. I will support your lymphatic system and promote a diet that reduces cancer risk. I will ensure optimal levels of essential nutrients, such as vitamins D and C, as well as providing detailed protocols for ensuring restorative sleep and managing stress effectively. I will ensure your daily diet is rich in key anti-cancer polyphenols, such as curcumin and quercetin, etc., as well as optimising your intake of beneficial fats (particularly sources of omega-3), to prevent inflammation in the body, and I will educate my clients about healthy food preparation processes to eliminate carcinogens. And finally, I will work closely with my clients to manage their stress effectively, as stress can both precede and perpetuate cancer and decrease the effectiveness of treatment. As such, your nervous system will be one of my priorities and I will support it through diverse channels, i.e. targeted dietary elements, lifestyle protocols, herbal remedies and supplements, as well as additional therapies that support my nutritional practice.
