Making sense of cancer nutrition
With so much conflicting information about cancer and nutrition, it can be difficult to know what to do for the best.
Often, what people need isn't more information. They need someone to help them make sense of it.
I'll help you understand what matters most for your situation and turn that into practical advice you can use in real life.
Is this you?
-
Worried about eating a banana because of the sugar.
-
Tired, but still feeling you need to cook everything from scratch to eat well.
-
Cutting out more and more foods because of things you’ve read or heard, and no longer knowing what to believe.
-
Losing weight or finding it harder to eat, but unsure whether the foods you can manage are nutritious enough.
-
Experiencing aches, stiffness or other changes on hormone treatment and wondering whether changing what you eat might help.
-
Finished treatment and wanting to take stock of your diet and lifestyle to help reduce the risk of cancer coming back.
-
Buying supplement after supplement because each one sounds like something you should be taking, but unsure which ones you actually need.
If any of this sounds familiar, these are the kinds of things I help people with every day.
KIND WORDS FROM A CLIENT

I feel very lucky to have had the benefit of her invaluable help and advice on this journey"

More than nutrition
Food is about more than just nutrients. It's part of everyday life, our routines, relationships and the things we enjoy.
Cancer can change that. Ordinary food choices can become complicated, and eating can carry worries that weren't there before.
My role is about much more than nutrition. It's about recognising how much cancer can affect your life, and helping you find your footing.
You don't have to figure it all out on your own.
Support from me designed around you
Cancer care can bring changing priorities, symptoms and side effects. What you need from nutrition may change too. Whatever is going on, we work with it.
Before we talk about food
I want to understand you – your daily life, your goals, what feels manageable, what feels difficult and what's most important to you right now.
Looking at the whole picture
Your diagnosis and treatment, symptoms, other health conditions, blood results, medications and supplements can all be part of the picture, as well as what and how you're eating, and the questions you want answers to.
I bring over 25 years of specialist cancer nutrition experience to these conversations. As both a registered dietitian and nutritional therapist, I can draw on a broader range of knowledge and skills to support you.
Shaped around your life
You won't find strict cancer diets or long lists of foods you don't enjoy. We'll focus on practical changes that feel manageable and fit into your everyday life.
Nutrition doesn't exist in isolation. Sleep, movement, emotional wellbeing and other aspects of your health and lifestyle can all be part of what we discuss, depending on your needs and priorities.
Cancer may be part of your life right now, but it isn't all of who you are.
That's why I'll never start with cancer. I'll always start with you.

Hi, I'm Meredy
Whatever you're wondering about, it's important. Having the time to listen, understand and work through things together is one of the things I value most about my work.
I'm a Registered Dietitian and Nutritional Therapist, and I've worked in specialist cancer nutrition for more than 25 years.
During that time, I've worked in NHS specialist cancer centres, in private practice and alongside national cancer charities, supporting people through treatment, recovery and advanced illness.
I'm also proud to serve as an Executive Committee member of the British Society for Integrative Oncology, helping to support the development of evidence-informed integrative oncology in the UK.
