I would be pleased to share with you a personalized evidence-informed nutrition and lifestyle plan that will support your immune system, reduce chronic inflammation and act on cancer cells directly. Once you put these tools into action in your life, you should feel more in control, I know that I felt a lot happier and healthier and less fear, anxiety and hyper-vigilance.

Whether you have primary or secondary lymphedema or whether your secondary lymphedema is due to cancer or another cause, you can use nutrition to compliment your lymphedema care.  You will need to continue with your complete decongestive therapy including manual lymphatic drainage, compression, exercise and skin care but nutrition can be used to compliment these therapies. You don’t need to make all of your nutrition changes at once, in fact, I recommend you make nutrition changes in a step wise approach as this will allow you to know how your lymphedema responds to different elements in your diet. Knowing what helps and what worsens your lymphedema will allow you to anticipate flare-ups and have additional tools to help you get your lymphedema under control.

I worked at the Adelaide Health Clinic for 7 years, helping clients lose weight and get the most out of their workouts. These were all intelligent, accomplished people. Most of them knew the basics about healthy eating, some of them knew a lot. Most of my clients came to me after they already made the obvious changes to their eating. What I was able to offer which allowed them to be successful was fine tuning of their eating plan. I was expert at spotting the little things. When there are enough little things to change and tweak, then you get results. I also offered accountability, trouble shooting and encouragement. In the words of one of my successful clients “if I could have done it myself, I would have.” I would be happy to work with you to help you achieve your weight goals and bust the cravings.
