Personalised Nutrition Support for People Living with and Beyond Cancer
Expert nutrition for cancer treatment, recovery and long-term health
When you are living with cancer - whether you are newly diagnosed, in the middle of treatment, or recovering - it can be hard to know what to eat and what to focus on. There is so much advice online, much of it conflicting, and it often isn’t tailored to you or your situation.
I offer expert, personalised nutrition support to help you feel and do as well as you can, during treatment, after treatment, and for the future. My aim is to take the confusion away and give you practical advice you can trust.
Is this you?
Wondering what to eat during chemotherapy, radiotherapy or after surgery
Wanting to support your immune system or reduce inflammation
Struggling with fatigue, muscle loss, changes to weight, or side effects like bloating, constipation or poor appetite
Recovering after treatment and wanting to rebuild your strength and energy
Concerned about bone health, heart health, blood sugar, skin health or ageing well
Trying to manage weight during hormone therapy or worried about gaining weight
Unsure about supplements – what is helpful, what’s not, and what to avoid
Reading conflicting advice about sugar, red meat, dairy or soy, and feeling confused
Wanting to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and look after your future health
If any of this sounds familiar, you are not alone. These are the kinds of questions I help people with every day.
How I can help you
Many people come to me feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information and advice they have encountered - from well meaning friends and family,
social media, books, and websites.
You don't have to work through it all on your own. I'll help take that pressure off, bringing together the best evidence and experience to guide you, while listening carefully to what matters most to you. Together, we’ll focus on what’s truly helpful and relevant for your situation - giving you both clarity and reassurance about your nutrition choices.
My clients often tell me they leave our sessions feeling calmer, clearer, and more motivated - with practical ways to nourish and support their body through treatment and beyond.
What we can cover
Every person’s situation is different, and no two cancer experiences are the same.
Many of the people I work with have already read a great deal of general advice online, but what they really want is support that is tailored to them. That’s why we’ll take the time to explore what matters most to you and work through it together. I focus on providing advice that is both evidence-based and deeply personalised - so you can feel confident you are making the right choices for your health and wellbeing.
Here are just some of the areas we can explore:

What to eat before, during and after treatment - and how to adapt as things change
Practical Tips
Practical tips for everyday eating - including meal ideas, planning, and managing energy levels

Actionable Advice
Bringing it all together - helping you translate good advice into a way of eating that works for you, day to day

About the Cancer Dietitian
Meredy Birdi
With over 25 years’ experience as a registered oncology dietitian and nutritional therapist, I combine both clinical and whole-person approaches to cancer nutrition. I have worked across NHS and private cancer services, including my role as a Macmillan dietitian. I hold an honorary dietetic position in the NHS and support several cancer charities.
Clients often tell me they value having a trusted guide - someone who can help them navigate complex questions, balance different priorities, and find practical ways to support their nutrition and their wellbeing through every stage of their cancer experience. I offer realistic, compassionate, evidence-informed advice - no extreme diets, no false promises, just practical support that helps you feel more in control of your nutrition and your health.
How to get started
I offer personalised nutrition support through a range of programmes, so we can tailor
the approach to suit your needs.
You may choose to start with a focused session to address your immediate questions, or to work together through a structured programme, giving you ongoing support as things change. Whichever option you choose, you will be supported with clear, practical guidance - helping you take care of your nutrition and your health in a way that feels manageable and right for you.
