Calories are not king and what cancer patients eat does matter!

The most senior transplant oncologist consultant had to apologise about getting it wrong about the impact of nutrition on treatment!

Calories are king is one of the most misleading statements out there in the world of oncology!

It’s backed by science that chemo and conventional treatments deplete your body of vital nutrients. Nutrients it needs to function. 80% of the immune system is linked to gut health.

So I focussed on gut health for my 18 month old son following these basic principles which took him from a prognosis of 13% to 97%.

Here is some of what I did

☑️ cooked food only to reduce stress on digestive system
☑️ avoided ultra processed foods as much as possible
☑️ Gave him ip6 to keep his appetite strong
☑️ Focussed on 35-50 plants a week alongside organic meat
☑️ Made the Uks leading cancer hospital cook to my recipes

Now I help oncology families and non oncology families get as much variety into their diet without it feeling like hard work- picky eater approved

Just comment with ‘tracker’ and il send you my free tracker to get more variety into yours and your families diet. If you aren’t following me it might not work so make sure you do.

As a mum who’s trying almost lost her son to cancer food matters to me. The quality we eat and the variety we eat.

Because it is the variety in volume (diversity) that reduces our risk of cancer and other chronic illnesses.

35 is the goal but at how we strive for 50 where we can. We still eat out and as a busy mum food has to be quick and not taste like healthy weird wellness - I have a junk food loving husband to keep happy.

Today’s meals (taking away the duplicates) got me 12.5 plant points. 12 in one day out of 30.

I have a free resource If you want to add more goodness into yours and your families diet. Just let me know by using the word tracker in your message below!

If you had to guess, how many steps do you need to walk to loose 1lb of fat?

Asking for a friend who’s looking for a shortcut!

Apparently sitting has become the new smoking and having had a kid with cancer I don’t think I need anymore odds stacked against me!

10k steps at lunch whilst multi tasking a meeting!

New as apparently that’s what all the millennial mums are wearing these days! Feels like walking on clouds to be fair!

Swab to save a child - in 60 seconds.

You can order your free swab kit from or or who ever the bone marrow register is in your country.

The sad truth of it is that people die waiting for matches and those from ethnic minority groups and multi cultural backgrounds find it harder to find a match as the numbers of the register are low.

Being a donor isn’t scary - it’s often done in a similar way to giving blood. And you could be giving the gift that money can’t buy.

Ps share this with people you know and let’s give people and their families a chance at keeping their loved ones here.

How did you know your child had cancer?

This is the most common question I get asked . Not just by people we meet but also doctors.

Childhood cancer is luckily still rare enough although for families like mine not rare enough.

Not everyone’s symptoms will look the same, this is our story. Other symptoms can also include

• Bruising easily
• unexplained fevers
• Joint and bone pain
• Petechaie - bleeding under the skin
• looking unusually pale
• Fevers that are constant that you cant explain

If in doubt request a blood test.

Reduce the tantrums and tap into the golden hour for eating new foods to your picky eater.

If you need more of a step by step guide comment tracker and il send you my food tracker and 5p method that I developed to get my 5 year olds to eat 50 different plants in a week!

Straight after school is the ideal time - they are so hungry and more willing to try something new.

Avoid putting on any of their favourites but include some pretty safe foods that they have at least engaged with at some point in the past or will eat.

It won’t spoil their dinner and there’s no pressure - take it or leave it as a snack and it’s been a great way to have my boys try new things.

Ps save this before you loose it on your feed!

Any questions drop them below.

We didn’t stay together out of love …..

We gave each other a bucket ton of grace!

Like new parents sleep deprived at 4am arguing about who was more tired - we didn’t take seriously the things said in anger and we split up and tackled tasks like a team.

Everyone thinks cancer should pull you together and make your stronger - news flash. It doesn’t. Not when you are in it. Which is why divorce rates are so high for people going through cancer.

My husband and I decided early on to lean into our strengths. He took on the hard discussion relating to data, clinical trials and treatment.

I did all the holistic and nutrition elements. But I was still in the day to day treatment.

Did we have blazing rows behind closed doors - or even in public when we didn’t agree. Absolutely. But as a team we took on one of the UKs cancer hospitals to get what we needed for our child.

He didn’t agree with all my choices especially with food- I even wrote about it in “cancer isn’t all about chemo” and he thought I was delusional.

But when he saw the results speak for itself he became my biggest body guard.

Happy 8th wedding anniversary. I wish the last 4 had been different but we have navigated Covid lockdown alone with newborn twins we fought and beat cancer for our child and we took the education sector to the cleaners for our developmentally delayed and traumatised child.

You drive me to the edge every day but no one else I would ever want to do life with.

Tapping into deep sleep when time is against me!

Comment “snooze” for my ultimate deep sleep hack. And it’s free!

Sleep isn’t just vital for your mental health it’s literally needed for your body to create new healthy cells. Which is what you need to fight inflammation and reduce the risk of chronic illnesses.

But let’s be honest if you are managing 6.5 hours you are probably lucky - the house still needs sorting once the little people are in bed and when you get into bed your rebellious streak keeps you up watching tv or doom scrolling way too late

but I’ve found a way to get more out of my sleep when time isn’t on my side

ps that’s not encouraging you not to prioritise sleep. I’m just being realistic.

If you reply back to me with the code word snooze il send you a sleep meditation I use at night so I sleep so deeply I wake up feeling like I took a muscle relaxant and slept 12 hours!
