A bespoke Cancer Nutrition program designed to address the unique needs of cancer patients.   

Manage treatment side effects

The right nutrition is crucial in supporting cancer patients to maintain a healthy weight and providing necessary nutrients for treatment and recovery. With a tailored nutrition plan, patients can manage side effects and improve their overall quality of life. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy often cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and mouth sores. Your Cancer Coach and nutritionist can guide you in managing these symptoms with specific foods, supplements, and protocols to maintain nutritional balance.

Treat cancer malnourishment

Research indicates that up to 80% of patients experience malnutrition during or after treatment. In fact, 10–20% of cancer patients’ deaths are related to malnutrition, not the malignancy itself. Cancer malnutritionment can negatively impact the effectiveness of treatment, impair muscle function, reduce the immune response, and increase the accumulation of toxicity in the body. Therefore, it’s crucial to manage malnutrition in cancer patients to support their overall health and wellbeing during treatment and recovery.

Build immunity & strength

Cancer and its treatments can weaken the immune system, leaving patients more vulnerable to infections and other health complications. Malnourishment, muscle loss, and fatigue are common side effects of cancer treatments that can further reduce patients’ strength and immunity. By providing adequate nutrition and incorporating physical activity, patients can maintain muscle mass and energy levels, improving their overall quality of life. Additionally, a strong immune system is essential for fighting cancer and preventing its recurrence.

Weight management

Managing weight in cancer patients is crucial as weight loss or gain can have significant impacts on treatment outcomes and overall health. Cancer treatments can cause side effects that affect appetite and digestion, leading to unintentional weight loss or gain. Maintaining a healthy weight is important for preserving muscle mass, supporting the immune system, and minimizing the risk of complications. Our personalised nutrition protocols help cancer patients maintain a healthy weight and improve their chances of successful treatment outcomes.

Special and restricted diets

We understand that cancer patients with specific cancers or undergoing certain treatments may struggle to consume solid foods, leading to nutritional deficiencies and malnutrition. Our team have extensive experience in working with patients with special needs to address these dietary challenges and provide patients with adequate nutrition. We cater to Cancer patients with diverse needs, including those with dietary restrictions due to oral cancer, to ensure they receive essential nutrients while managing side effects and addressing secondary health issues benefitting both the patient and their caregivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Awaana Health?

Awaana is a holistic health & wellness company.  We are on a mission to make functional medicine more accessible and empower people to live a happier, disease-free life.

What is integrative and functional medicine?

Integrative medicine evaluates a patient as a whole – including physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being to heal and optimize health. It uses a combination of modern healthcare practices to diagnose and treat a person.

Functional medicine, also sometimes known as the "root cause" medicine embraces  the philosophy of Integrative medicine as described above but also employs a system-oriented and science backed medical approach that works to identify and understand the underlying or root causes of a disease.

The functional medicine model integrates our understanding of the human body, genetics, and external factors to identify and treat the underlying causes of disease. So rather than focusing on suppressing and managing symptoms, functional medicine looks deeper. There is an emphasis on the relationship between patient and practitioner as a partnership where every aspect of a patient’s medical history is considered in detail.

Are there any doctors onboard?

Yes, we work with reputed doctors and have a variety of specialists on board like oncologists, gynecologists, cardiologists etc. Our doctors are  on boarded after a careful screening process. An expertise in integrative medicine over and above their medical specialisation is a must for all Awaana Health doctors.
