Book
I am currently working on a book – Powerful Beyond Measure: Using Nutrition and Spirit to Journey through Cancer. It will tell my story of diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cancer and will offer strategies and interventions that I have found very powerful in helping me through this journey that is cancer.
When I was diagnosed, I went looking for stories from other women in similar situations to mine. There were few that really resonated with me. Because the technology of the internet is so much more familiar to the young, most of the stories that were available were posted by young women, whether on YouTube or on blogs. And there was almost nothing on the use of ketogenic diets or fasting to impact on chemotherapy effectiveness or side effects. This blog and my book will be my contribution to the body of information about these powerful, and empowering interventions. I am passionate to get this information to others dealing with cancer.
When it is available, links to purchase the book will be added here…
Disclaimer
As a Registered Dietitian, I am a registered health professional and my practice is regulated by the guidelines of my professional organization. I am not a medical doctor and cannot communicate a diagnosis or adjust medications. It is recommended that clients who are under medical care for specific conditions communicate with their MD’s regarding their intention to follow a Low Carb High Fat diet, a Ketogenic Diet, or Therapeutic Fasting, as adjustments to medications may be required. Each person is responsible for their own lifestyle choices and the consequences of those choices. The goal of Powerful Beyond Measure and Primal RD is to give clients the tools and support to make choices that empower the best health outcomes.
