About Nutrition & Lifestyle Medicine

Nutrition is the science of helping our body to function at its best. Diet – and a healthy lifestyle – is one of the cornerstones of metabolic health, cancer prevention, cancer reoccurrence and supporting patients as part of an integrated therapeutic approach. Nutrition goes to the heart of supporting the gut microbiome and digestive health, helping to optimise metabolic markers, target symptoms, and support client outcomes alongside standard of care for cancer. Integrating lifestyle interventions to support sleep, improve resilience to stress, encourage physical activity, reduce exposure to environmental toxins and focus on whole person emotional and spiritual wellbeing adds additional agency and tools to your care plan to help you navigate your journey.

This is the science however more importantly, nutrition and lifestyle are two of the building blocks that can really support your whole person. Cancer treatment can be long and exhausting and it takes more than a treatment plan to rebuild your mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health.

A good meal, with good nutrition, can nourish the mind, body and soul. It can provide much-needed energy. When eaten with good company, it nurtures connection and joy.

A sunrise walk can help align your circadian rhythm, supporting sleep and energy goals. A walk with a friend adds that all-important layer of community.

Thriving with and beyond cancer looks at all of the metabolic terrain elements that play a role in you, as a whole.

Food is fundamental to our mental, emotional and physical health

“We are what we eat”. Simple changes to diet can often have a significant effect on how well you feel, and to limit potential risk factors to your health. I combine my nutrition training with 18 years lived experience of the Mediterranean diet and life in a Blue Zone to promote a food-first approach; supporting health and reconnecting you with real food ingredients, full of nutrients, and encouraging you to build new skills in choosing, preparing and combining foods. These tools help you sustain healthy eating for a lifetime, with many positive impacts on your health and wellbeing. My hope is that my clients find the joy in food, and cooking, and sharing a tasty meal, to carry them forwards into a long and healthful life.
