During my oncology training, I observed patients' misery and confusion about food. I encountered hundreds of patients who asked, "What should I eat now that I have cancer?" My patients became my motivation to study Lifestyle Medicine and wellness. As I talked to them about food, supplements, and self-care, I felt a dire need to educate people with cancer, the real people we see in our clinics (and not the already 'health junkies' on the internet!).
Dealing with cancer is tough, and it gets more complicated when patients receive multiple contrasting opinions from different providers.
That is why I started giving handwritten notes to my patients, to simplify their care by bringing them back to the basics, i.e., focusing on simple tasks that make your cancer journey easier.
Cancer Healing Notes are now available online as a bimonthly newsletter !!
