Welcome to a new format that I'll be bringing to the podcast occasionally. I call it, Ask the Dietitian, where I feature 2 guests. One is a medical professional with nutrition questions and the other is a Registered Dietitian ready to provide answers. Today's conversation is between Oncology PA Dane Thomas and oncology Dietitian Julie Lanford who discuss the crucial role of nutrition in cancer treatment and survivorship. They explore various dietary considerations and practical tips for managing side effects such as weight loss, taste changes, constipation, diarrhea, reflux, and nausea during cancer treatment. Julie shares evidence-based recommendations and debunks common myths about sugar and cancer, offering valuable insights into supporting patients through their nutrition journey.
