Nutrition matters in cancer treatment.Nutrition matters before, during and after cancer treatment. Susan Bratton advocates for nutritional integration in cancer treatment after losing a close friend to brain cancer. Her friend was told nutrition doesn’t matter. She dove into research, finding evidence-based nutritional impact. She left her Wall Street job to found her own oncology nutrition company. There is no structure in place in the healthcare delivery system to pay for nutritional counseling and intervention. Poor nutrition impacts a cancer patient’s response to treatment. Malnourished patients have higher rates of toxicity and complication. These impact how well the treatment works. Cancer and its treatment cause nutrition-related side effects. A simple way to start addressing nutrition is with the Mediterranean diet. Susan modifies this diet based on individual patient needs. Managing nutrition is something proactive that cancer patients can do to support their healing. Listen as Susan joins Dr. Bond to share how nutrition impacts cancer recovery.

Fill your wellness bank in the first 90 minutes of the day.There’s a lot of talk about what you should do for your health. How about a wellness routine that actually works? Sophie Ulliano recommends four parts of a wellness foundation. Mindfulness. Start each day with meditation or prayer. Offer up an intention for the day. Nutrition. Eat a diet that is primarily plant-based. Morning smoothies are a great way to consume many plants at once. Fitness. Get 40 to 60 minutes of moderate to intense exercise every day. Self care. It’s easy to put yourself last. Take leisure time to care for yourself. Don’t set yourself up to fail by overwhelming yourself. Reframe the changes so you think about wellness like a bank account with these four parts. Put small yet equal amounts of attention into your wellness account every day. You may not want to do these things every day but your body will thank you. Listen as Sophie joins Dr. Bond to share how you can fill your wellness bank in the first 90 minutes of your day.

Take the time to detox your mind and improve your health.You know you should take a few minutes to sit still, but the demands and distractions of modern life make it difficult. Meditation can help you gain focus. You just have to figure out how to work it into your life. Sukey and Elizabeth Novogratz say that if you’re breathing, you’re halfway to meditation. The other half is paying attention to your breath. Misconceptions about meditation may keep you away. You don’t have to sit for hours, be perfectly still or clear out all of your thoughts. It’s okay to acknowledge your thoughts. You may think you need to worry about things or that you can control the universe with your thoughts. Obsessive thinking creates stress. Meditation allows you to observe your thoughts and make decisions about them. Detoxify your thoughts with these simple steps: Sit comfortably. Close your eyes. Take four deep belly breaths. (Inhale for three counts, exhale for three counts.) Keep your mind on your breathing but notice when the thoughts come. Start by meditating for two minutes. Slowly increase your time on a daily basis. Listen as Sukey and Elizabeth join Dr. Bond to share how to meditate on a busy schedule so you can detoxify your thoughts.
