Episode Synopsis



As you navigate the different phases of your treatment, your nutritional needs will shift accordingly. To kickstart this journey, it's a great idea to set some clear goals. Get specific about the foods you'd like to include, and think about which fruits and veggies you'd like to incorporate.
Don't shy away from trying new things, especially when it comes to fruits and veggies.
Have you ever thought about switching from regular smoothies to delicious smoothie bowls? Or maybe giving meal prepping a shot? Aim for adding at least 10 different types of foods daily – it's not as challenging as it might seem.
We all have those moments when we'd rather indulge in less healthy options, but during treatment, it's crucial to prioritize your nutrition.
You'll be pleasantly surprised by the variety of fruits and veggies you can easily fit into your meals.
Keeping your immune system strong to support your body through treatment is essential, so focus on eating well.
Consider using a food tracking app to help you stay on course.
And here's a friendly tip: when those sweet cravings hit, don't be too hard on yourself. Instead, explore healthier substitutes that still satisfy your sweet tooth.
