This class is best suited to cancer patients and those with chronic illnesses.

“Let food be thy medicine”
Meeting our nutritional needs on a daily basis is important for optimizing our health and wellbeing but is particularly important while undergoing cancer treatment. That’s because chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery place extra demands on the body and certain treatments can lead to side effects making it difficult to meet your body’s nutrient needs.
Please join MarinHealth Integrative Wellness Center’s Registered Dietitian Nutritionists for these complimentary nutrition education sessions to learn the basics of good nutrition for optimizing cancer treatment. Family, significant others, and friends are welcome!
