Cancer Nutrition HQ

Cancer Nutrition HQ Empowering cancer patients and survivors with evidence-based nutrition I enjoy wearing many hats as a clinician, educator, scientist, and science communicator.

I have over 14 years of experience in nutrition and cancer, including research, higher education, and clinical practice. Education, empowerment, and empathy are at the core of my work. Through my experience, I have seen the critical gap in nutrition support for cancer survivors both during and after cancer treatment. Finding quality nutrition information is increasingly difficult with the rise of

misinformation and disinformation. Rather than stand back and watch the problem worsen, I strive to combat misinformation, share the latest research in nutrition and cancer, and translate the science into everyday actions survivors can take to support their health and quality of life with nutrition. I am committed to building Cancer Nutrition HQ to be a hub of evidence-based resources and tools for patients, survivors, caregivers, and healthcare providers. When I am not blabbing about nutrition to anyone who’ll listen, I enjoy weightlifting, traveling, trying new restaurants, and spending time with my husband and two pups in Austin, TX.

Veggies in the morning is a great way to start the day!

The healthy fat from avocado not only makes the meal more filling, it improves the absorption of the beneficial carotenoids in the sweet potato. A great power couple.

Thank you for sharing.

When people need answers but don’t receive professional support, they turn to social media, podcasts, books, and support groups.

If we want to reduce nutrition misinformation in cancer care, we need to increase access to qualified nutrition professionals. Until then, many survivors will be left trying to sort through conflicting advice on their own.

Did you receive nutrition support in your care?

One of the biggest sources of frustration I see in cancer survivors is making meaningful changes—but judging progress with a tool that can’t measure what matters most.

The scale can tell you your weight.

It can’t tell you if you have more energy, are getting stronger, are sleeping better, have improved your diet quality, or are feeling more like yourself again.

If your goal is better health, recovery, strength, or quality of life, make sure you’re using the right tool to measure success. Sometimes the most important progress never shows up on the scale.

Lifestyle strategies may help reduce the severity of many late and long-term side effects.

My latest podcast episode discusses common challenges survivors may face after a cancer diagnosis, and why nutrition should be part of survivorship care.

This snack is a great example of how balanced eating doesn't have to be complicated.
Protein ✔️
Fiber ✔️
Healthy fats ✔️
Micronutrients ✔️

Sometimes the most nourishing meals and snacks are the simplest ones.

Thank you for sharing.

How can you apply your success there to other changes you want to make?

I see survivors so overwhelmed with all the things they feel they need to do, that they haven’t been able to get started on any of it.

Start where you are successful and build from there. I know you can do hard things.

It can feel frustrating, awkward, and humbling to do something you’re not good at and feels hard.

I see many cancer survivors avoid exercise because it feels difficult and frustrating to start all over.

The only way to get better is to keep showing up.

Your body will adapt. Your body will thank you.

I know you can do this. You already overcame many challenges ❤️

Don’t skip that sale section. Just check the sell by/use by dates.

To clarify, I went to Whole Foods for more than just chips 😅

Carrots are nothing to fear, our body has great regulation systems in place. enjoy a variety of colors to get more antioxidants into your diet.
