Our Approach
How We Approach It
We begin with a compassionate, thorough assessment of your diagnosis, treatment plan, current symptoms, and nutritional status. Every cancer journey is different, and your nutrition plan should reflect your specific needs and circumstances.
Maryke works closely with your medical team to ensure nutritional recommendations complement your treatment protocol. The focus is on maintaining strength, managing side effects, preventing malnutrition, and supporting your body's ability to heal.
Our approach is gentle, practical, and responsive. As treatment progresses and your needs change, we adjust your plan accordingly. The goal is to help you feel as well as possible throughout your journey, and to support long-term health beyond treatment.

Understanding Oncology Nutrition Support
Why It Matters
Oncology nutrition is a specialised area of dietetics focused on supporting individuals before, during, and after cancer treatment. Adequate nutrition during treatment is associated with better treatment tolerance, fewer complications, and improved quality of life.
Cancer treatments can significantly affect appetite, taste, digestion, and nutrient absorption. A registered dietitian with oncology experience can provide targeted strategies to manage these challenges, from nausea and taste changes to weight loss and muscle wasting.
At Expand Health, our approach to oncology nutrition support is evidence-based, compassionate, and highly personalised. We understand the emotional and physical toll of a cancer diagnosis, and we aim to make nutrition one less thing to worry about.
Common areas addressed include managing treatment-related side effects through diet, preventing and addressing malnutrition, supporting immune function, maintaining muscle mass, and building a long-term dietary plan for survivorship and recurrence risk reduction.
