National Cancer Prevention Month

No matter your age, chances are you know someone who has been affected by cancer, and it may have touched your own life in a very personal way. You may be wondering what you can do to help prevent cancer, you may be living with cancer and managing treatment side effects, or you may have completed treatment and are now looking for ways to heal, rebuild your strength, and create a self-care routine that supports your health for years to come.

Wherever you are on your cancer journey, working with our Oncology Nutrition Consultant, Tammy, can provide guidance, reassurance, and practical support.

What Is Metabolic Oncology Nutrition Consulting?

Metabolic Oncology Nutrition Consulting uses food and nutrition as powerful tools to support your body. This approach focuses on specific foods and personalized nutrition plans designed to help reduce cancer risk and work alongside conventional cancer treatments. The goal is to support overall well-being, help ease side effects, and provide your body with the nutrients it needs to respond as effectively as possible to treatment.

With a metabolic approach, the focus is not solely on the cancer itself, but on the body as a whole and creating an internal environment where cancer cannot thrive.

What Does a One-on-One Appointment Look Like?

If you’re curious to learn more about how Tammy can support you and what working together would look like, you can begin with a free 15-minute consultation. From there, an initial appointment lasts 90 minutes, during which we will discuss your overall diet, health status, lifestyle, and more. This allows Tammy to get to know you and begin developing your personalized plan and recommendations.

Follow-up appointments are 45 minutes and focus on building upon the foundational steps discussed during your initial consultation.

What Are the Benefits of Working One-on-One With Tammy, Our Oncology Nutrition Consultant?

Because every person (and every cancer experience) is different, there is no one-size-fits-all plan. Your nutrition plan is tailored specifically to you, taking into account your type and stage of cancer, specific treatments, lifestyle, food preferences, energy levels, and even genetics.

As your needs change, your plan evolves with you, offering ongoing, compassionate support every step of the way.

A Bit More About Metabolic Oncology Nutrition Consulting

Metabolic Oncology Nutrition Consulting is rooted in science and research and guided by compassion. Oncology Nutrition Consultants evaluate the nutrients your body needs to function, heal, and thrive. Foods, herbs, teas, oils, and supplements may be recommended based on research showing their potential to support health and positively influence cancer outcomes.

At the same time, certain foods or habits may be reduced or avoided when research links them to increased cancer risk. Studies continue to show that diet and lifestyle choices play an important role in both cancer prevention and recovery. Naturally occurring protective compounds found in many foods can help lower cancer risk and support the body during treatment when included regularly.

A Metabolic Oncology Nutrition Consultant looks at the whole picture, not just foods that may be harmful when consumed in excess (such as sugar or highly processed foods), but also small, meaningful changes that can make a significant difference. These may include increasing fibre intake, reducing alcohol consumption, or adjusting calorie intake. In some cases, therapeutic nutrition strategies may be explored. For example, a ketogenic approach may be used to reduce sugar intake, helping to support treatment goals by limiting cancer’s preferred fuel source.

Food recommendations focus on whole, nourishing foods that are as close to their natural state as possible, eaten in balanced amounts to help restore and support the body’s natural balance.

While Metabolic Oncology Nutrition is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure cancer, it can be a valuable complement to medical care. It may also be used proactively to help reduce cancer risk and build a strong foundation for long-term health.
