    Optimizing Nutrition During Cancer Treatment and Beyond

    11:30 AM-12:30 PM
    Oct/Wed/2023

    “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!

    QiGong for Cancer Survivors & Chronic Illness

    10:15 AM-11:15 AM
    Oct/Thu/2023

    QiGong is a form of gentle, exacting movement and still meditation that uses the breath and mind to work with the body’s energy (or Qi). The intention is to help patients regain a deep sense of trust in their bodies and to encourage an open, relaxed, and calm mental state that more readily allows self-healing. This class is best suited to cancer patients and those with chronic illnesses.

    Yuan Gong is an updated, gentle and effective practice of QiGong, a traditional Chinese healing system (the origin of T’aiChi). This class focuses on improving health and well-being and is appropriate for people experiencing cancer and chronic conditions. The class accommodates people with movement restrictions or even chair-based practitioners.
