Julie discuses her 5 key recommendations for anyone going through cancer treatment and also covers specific strategies related to the following side effects:

  • Poor Appetite

  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea + Vomiting
  • Taste and Smell Changes

What is a “Healthy Weight?” Key Components of a Healthy Lifestyle

Many people are told to lose weight by their doctors, but how much weight do they mean and why? In this webinar, we discuss the importance of healthy lifestyle vs. weight loss, what it means to be “weight-neutral”, what a healthy weight could be for you, and how nutrition plays a role in weight.

I am grateful that Amber Thomas, RD, CSO (of www.cancernutritionsolutions.com) joined me to add her expertise to the conversation.

A plant-based diet has been shown to improve health, help your body function at its best, and save money! Many cancer survivors and cancer caregivers have heard that plant-based eating is recommended, but they aren’t sure exactly what it means or how to know if they are doing it. While plant-based doesn’t mean you have to exclude meat, it does mean including plenty of disease fighting plant foods. Watch this fun and informative webinar to learn practical and tasty ways to transition to more plant-based meals.
