Nutrition Plans that Empower Lives

Individualized, Therapeutic Nutrition
for Cancer
and Chronic Illness
​​
Every person and every cancer or chronic illness diagnosis is unique. At Empowered Nutrition, I create individualized nutrition, supplement, and lifestyle plans to support cancer prevention, management, and recovery.​
​
My specialty includes ketogenic, low-carb, plant-based, therapeutic, and anti-inflammatory diets designed to optimize metabolism, reduce inflammation, and restore balance.
​​
Using a system-based approach, we address ten key areas that influence health: genetics, blood sugar, toxins, gut health, immunity, hormones, inflammation, circulation, mental wellbeing, and stress/biorhythms.
​
Originally developed by Dr. Nasha Winters and Jess Higgins Kelley through The Metabolic Approach to Cancer, this integrative framework is equally powerful for many chronic conditions — because the diet that helps prevent and manage cancer also supports overall health and longevity.
​
The goal: to help you feel stronger, healthier, and empowered — wherever you are on your healing journey.
