The Latest on Nutrition for Cancer and Lymphedema
Nutrition Seminars & Public Speaking
Hi, I’m Jean LaMantia
Registered Dietitian | Cancer Survivor | Public Speaker
When I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at age 27, I had no idea that my journey with cancer would be a gift and lead me to one of my greatest purposes in life
…but you’ll understand why I feel this way after reading my story!
I’ve walked (and continue to walk) the same path you do.
As a Registered Dietitian in Toronto, ON, registered in Canada and the U.S., I provide one-on-one nutrition counselling for both cancer and lymphedema care and risk reduction with nutritional coaching specifically tailored to your unique history and goals.
Jean’s Qualifications
I am Registered Dietitian in Canada and the U.S., located in Toronto, ON., with over 20 years experience helping people to achieve their nutrition goals. I have researched and written two books on the subjects of nutrition for cancer and lymphedema, entitled: The Essential Cancer Treatment Nutrition Guide and Cookbook, and The Complete Lymphedema Management and Nutrition Guide. I have also created a food and lifestyle guide designed to help cancer survivors reduce their risk of recurrence, entitled: The Cancer Risk Reduction Guide.
When I’m not writing and researching new recipes, I maintain a blog on the subject of nutrition for cancer and lymphedema and actively pursue ongoing professional education. And, I am a regular speaking on the subjects of cancer and lymphedema and teach nutrition classes and provide cooking demonstrations for Wellspring Cancer Support Centres.
I graduated from the University of Guelph with an Honours Bachelor of Applied Human Nutrition Degree, and completed a clinical dietetic internship at Toronto Western Hospital. I am a Registered Dietitian in good standing with the College of Dietitians of Ontario and the Commission on Dietetic Registration.
