Evidence-Based Nutrition
Medical Therapeutic Diets
Evidence-based therapeutic diets are formulated to align with specific medical needs. Rooted in rigorous research and best clinical practices, these nutritional strategies are designed to complement medical interventions and enhance patient well-being. Regular consultations ensure that dietary recommendations remain relevant and effective over time.
CBT-Focused Behavioural Change

As a reputable therapeutic technique, CBT offers insights into understanding and adjusting nutrition-related behaviors. With guidance from our experienced clinician, patients receive a comprehensive approach to modifying their dietary habits.

The program begins with an in-depth Assessment session, highlighting individual eating patterns and their impact on cancer health. This session offers insights into effective management of dietary challenges during treatment and the role of nutrition in supporting immune function and overall wellness.
Next, CBT and Nutrition sessions is an approach that combines cognitive and behavioral techniques to assist individuals in making informed dietary choices and managing their nutritional needs while dealing with the challenges of cancer. It aims to address the cognitive aspects of food choices, such as managing anxiety or stress related to cancer and its treatment, while also promoting healthier dietary behaviors and self-care practices tailored to the individual's specific cancer-related needs.
Our Nutrition Education session addresses the dietary complexities of managing cancer nutrition. Here, we offer guidance on meal planning, understanding food labels, and making informed dietary choices to support cancer care and overall metabolic function. Our session is designed to debunk common misconceptions about cancer nutrition while emphasizing foods and dietary practices that aid in effective cancer nutrition management.
As we progress, the Identifying Personal Barriers and Dietary Triggers session becomes crucial in pinpointing and addressing individual dietary habits that might impact cancer care. This session also offers support in managing and understanding factors that influence cancer nutrition. Concluding our program, the Personalized Planning session focuses on crafting a tailored nutrition plan for optimal cancer care support, with periodic modifications based on individual feedback and evolving health metrics.
