Our Approach to Nutritional Counseling

Comprehensive Assessment

Each patient begins with a one-on-one consultation with an oncology dietitian to review:

  • Current eating habits and preferences

  • Medical and treatment history

  • Nutritional deficiencies or weight changes

  • Dietary restrictions and allergies

Personalized Nutrition Plan

After assessment, our dietitians create a customized meal plan that aligns with your treatment goals, preferences, and side-effect management needs.

  • Calorie and protein optimization for healing

  • Hydration and electrolyte balance

  • Strategies to manage side effects (nausea, mouth sores, appetite loss)

  • Immune-supportive foods and supplements (when clinically appropriate)

Ongoing Monitoring & Support
