Hi, I’m Jean LaMantia
I’m a registered dietitian, cancer survivor, and author.
My work focuses on helping individuals navigate nutrition during and after cancer treatment, as well as while living with lymphedema and lipedema and other complex conditions.
In my late 20s, I was diagnosed with lymphoma (lymph node cancer). During treatment, I experienced a serious lymphatic complication—my lungs were filling with lymphatic fluid, and I felt like I was drowning in my own body.
That experience gave me a deep appreciation for how scary and overwhelming cancer is and how important—and complex—the lymphatic system can be.
Today, I bring both my clinical training and lived experience to my work, helping you make sense of the nutrition information available and focus on what is most relevant for your situation.
