What is nutritional therapy and how does it work in cancer nutrition support?

Nutritional therapy uses up-to-date nutrition science to promote mental and physical health and wellbeing. Nutritional therapy is not an ‘off-the-peg’ quick fix or set of instructions because:

  • you are entirely unique, right down to your biochemistry

  • your body works as a whole and all your physiological systems are interconnected, not operating in isolation

Delivering personalised nutrition plans requires detective work, using a thorough case history to develop an in-depth understanding of your health. This approach aims to uncover the biochemical imbalance(s) that undermine your health. It asks why these have arisen (and therefore how to rebalance them), not just to how to patch them up. Each plan is personalised to you and tailored your needs, considering not just nutrition but also your environment, exercise, sleep and stress management.

Our cancer nutrition team practice using the Systems Approach to Cancer model, working individually and with other members of the team and our integrative oncology doctors to deliver coordinated care.
