During treatment for cancer, many people lose weight due to side effects from chemotherapy and radiation, such as nausea, taste changes and loss of appetite. Others gain weight due to medications, emotional eating and reduced activity. No matter which category a cancer survivor falls into, it is crucial they receive advice and guidance from a Registered Dietitian so they can create a healthy diet and reduce the risks for additional diagnosis or health issues, such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease. Our affiliate Registered Dietitians work with participants of the program to understand their current nutritional needs, how to use food and diet as a recovery tool and how to implement daily, healthy eating habits. By working one-on-one with cancer survivors, we are able to address the specific needs of each person, creating better outcomes and long-term success.
