Cancer Nutrition Support

When diagnosed with cancer and undergoing surgery and / or conventional treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, it is so important to look after your diet to maximise the nutrients you receive. Jan helps you simplify the most important things to do. 

You will find Jan's help with nutritional medicine and herbal medicine support very beneficial as well. Some herbs and nutrients should not be taken at the same time as conventional treatment while others can improve the effectiveness of treatment. Jan tailors your naturopathic prescription to your specific cancer and treatment program so that you know you will be getting the best results possible. 

Jan will advise the best possible diet for you to help reduce cancer growth and to help prevent recurrence. Some simple things to put into action straight away are:

• Eat organic produce as much as you possibly can
• Drink green tea rather than regular tea or coffee
• Avoid alcohol, sugary foods and drinks, and additives such as colourings and preservatives
• Have good quality lean protein foods, always grass fed or organic meat / organic or free range poultry/ wild caught small fish
• Make sure you include high antioxidant foods each day such as organic blueberries or mixed berries (organic frozen ones are fine); fresh pomegranate; fresh beetroot; and, include spices in your diet like turmeric and ginger along with garlic. 
• Have a green smoothie or vegetable  juice each day using organic produce
• Look into meditation and breathing exercises to help oxygenate your body
