The Best Diet for Cancer Patients with Amanda King, ND

from The Heal Navigator Podcast: Exploring Integrative Cancer Care · host Heal Navigator

What should cancer patients really eat during treatment? In this episode we speak with Amanda King, ND, a - naturopath & nutritional therapist specializing in integrative metabolic oncology. Together, we explore how nutrition can work alongside standard treatments like chemotherapy and radiation to improve tolerance, reduce side effects, and support recovery. You’ll learn: How intermittent fasting before chemotherapy can improve treatment response and lessen side effects Why the ketogenic diet may help “starve” cancer cells of glucose The difference between “dirty keto” and a therapeutic ketogenic diet for cancer Why avoiding processed and inflammatory foods during treatment can make a difference How testing and lab work (such as DUTCH and mycotoxin panels) reveal underlying root causes Why your metabolic terrain, including sleep, stress, and environment matters as much as your diet   Amanda also addresses common misconceptions about diet and cancer, and shares practical first steps for newly diagnosed patients ready to take charge of their nutrition. This conversation offers a perspective on how food, lifestyle, and integrative care can support your healing. Listen now to learn how nutritional therapy can complement conventional cancer care and help you move toward better health.
