New Cancer Patients and Survivors
Short and Long-Term Packages
Restore Your Health Nutrition is a virtual clinic. We can work together by phone from almost anywhere in the US. I work with cancer patients in all phases of treatment as well as cancer survivors. To read more about my approach, see Cancer, FAQs, lab tests.
Two Different Ways To Work With Me
If you are committed to investing time and effort to modify your nutritional and lifestyle habits, I am confident that you will see results. I work with cancer patients in one of two ways:
Core Foundations "Getting Started" Bundles
Core Foundations Getting Started (two-session bundle) Consists of:
- A 90 minute initial consultation and assessment
- A review of your records
- Research and development of customized protocol which will be sent to you after your initial session
- 15 minute check-in (~ 1 week from your initial consultation)
- One 45 minute follow-up appointment (generally scheduled 3 weeks from the initial appointment)
For a more detailed description of what is covered in the Core Foundations sessions, see the “Working Together” section below.
Core Foundations Comprehensive (three-session bundle) Consists of:
It typically takes three sessions to develop an initial protocol; a three session bundle is the recommended way to get started for those not enrolled in a long-term package. The third visit is used to complete the development of your initial protocol. This bundle consists of:
- A 90 minute individual initial consultation and assessment
- A review of your records
- Research and development of your customized protocol which will be sent to you after your initial session
- A 15 minute check-in (~ 1 week after your initial consultation)
- Two 45 minute follow-up appointments (generally scheduled 3 weeks apart)
For a more detailed description of what is covered in the Core Foundations sessions, see the “Working Together” section below.

The Core Foundations Comprehensive (three-session bundle) Also Provides:
In addition to everything contained in the Core Foundations “Getting Started” bundles listed above, you will receive:

We build on the previous protocol, prioritizing and addressing factors that need attention which could be your diet, stressors, fatigue, treatment-related side effects that have not yet been addressed, low immunity and/or blood counts, maintaining muscle mass or other factors that may be impacting your health
- Recommendations for follow-up testing which is used to assess you response to the protocol
- Specific foods, nutrients and/or botanicals to target the tumor might be added (may be guided by additional tests on your tumor or cancer cells)

Working Together: An overview of “the process”
All cancer patients, whether they choose to begin with a Core Foundations bundle or a long-term package, begin with a comprehensive assessment. It typically takes three sessions to get started on and to build a comprehensive treatment protocol:
Initial Visit
Your whole case is reviewed and discussed, including your health and cancer history, relevant labs, diet and lifestyle factors and current treatment strategy. Lab tests recommendations (to be ordered in conjunction with your physician or through a discount lab) are given, which may include vitamin and mineral testing, testing for inflammation and/or hypercoagulation. At the end of this first appointment a strategy will be in place to develop what we call a “foundational protocol” to support your health and wellbeing, while at the same time addressing the cancer.
Second Visit
Typically scheduled ~ three weeks after the initial appointment. During this visit, laboratory tests are reviewed and deficiencies, imbalances, inflammation and other drivers of cancer are uncovered. We build on the foundational protocol developed at the initial visit with the additional focus on repairing the tumor environment using specific healing foods, nutritional and botanical supplements.
Third Visit
Typically scheduled three-six weeks from the second visit. Your response to the protocol is assessed. We build on the previous protocol, prioritizing and addressing factors that need attention whether they be your diet, stress, a plan to manage side effects from your treatment, increasing your immunity or blood counts, maintaining muscle mass or other problems which may arise. If results from tests on your tumor are available, specific foods, nutrients and/or botanicals might be added to help target tumor markers and drivers of cancer.
Subsequent Visits
Are valuable to monitor your progress, update your protocol and support you over the course of your healing journey. These visits can be scheduled through individual appointments or as part of a long-term package to gain the benefit of continuity, accountability and ongoing support that working in this way provides.

Ready to Get Started?
If you would like to begin working with me and are considering a long-term package, I offer a 30 minute, “Get Acquainted” session. The cost of the session is $50.00. This phone session will provide us the opportunity to talk about where you are in your cancer journey, ask any necessary questions and learn a little more about each other. I will do my best to ensure that your needs are within my scope of practice and experience. If we both agree that we are a good fit and you decide to purchase a long-term package, the cost of the “Get Acquainted Session” will be fully refunded. To Get Started:
- Complete the form below
- Wait to be redirected to my online scheduler
- Pay and book your “Get Acquainted Session”
Please know that you will be asked to complete a more extensive health history form, which includes a section for you to list all of your supplements and medications, if you decide to work with me as a new patient.
The purpose of the “Get Acquainted” session is to make sure that we are a good fit to start with. It is a meet and greet phone call. There will be no review of supplements, labs, nutrition advice given or recommendations given.
