Nourishing strength: Managing energy and wellness through food

A metastatic breast cancer diagnosis brings unique physical and emotional demands, especially during long-term treatment. This session offers compassionate, practical guidance on how food can support energy, strength, and overall well-being. Participants will learn how to navigate common treatment-related challenges — such as fatigue, appetite changes, digestive discomfort, taste alterations, and weight fluctuations — while still meeting their body’s nutritional needs. The talk emphasizes flexible, realistic eating strategies rather than restrictive rules, recognizing that needs can change day to day.

In this role, she provides education and counseling to people with breast and ovarian cancers throughout treatment and survivorship, supporting side effect management, risk reduction, long-term health, and practical culinary skills through hands-on demonstrations.
