Why Nutrition Counseling?
Nutrition is personal - and there is no ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL approach to eating well.
Food is more than nutrition - it is connected to culture, family, celebration, comfort, and identity. Nutrition can play an important role in supporting wellness throughout treatment and survivorship. Nutrition counseling is not about giving up the foods you love or changing who you are. It is about finding ways to nourish your body while honoring your culture, traditions, preferences, and personal wellness goals.
