Savor Health: Empowering Cancer Patients with Expert Dietary Counseling and Meal Delivery Services
Cancer is a life-changing diagnosis that affects not only the physical health of patients but also their emotional and mental well-being. While medical treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery are essential in fighting cancer, they often come with side effects that can impact a patient's appetite, digestion, and overall nutrition. That's where Savor Health comes in - a company that is dedicated to helping cancer patients and their loved ones by offering expert dietary counseling as well as cancer diet meal delivery.
Founded in 2013 by Susan Bratton, a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) who has over 20 years of experience working with cancer patients, Savor Health aims to fill the gap between medical treatment and nutritional support. The company's mission is to empower cancer patients to take control of their health through personalized nutrition plans that are tailored to their unique needs and preferences.
One of the key services offered by Savor Health is expert dietary counseling. The company has a team of RDNs who specialize in oncology nutrition - an area of expertise that requires additional training beyond the standard RDN certification. These experts work closely with each patient to assess their nutritional status, identify any deficiencies or challenges related to their treatment or symptoms, and develop a customized plan that addresses those issues.
The dietary counseling process begins with an initial consultation where the RDN gathers information about the patient's medical history, current treatment plan, lifestyle habits (such as exercise routine), food preferences (including cultural or religious considerations), allergies or intolerances (if any), and other relevant factors. Based on this assessment, the RDN creates a personalized nutrition plan that includes recommendations for specific foods or nutrients that can help manage side effects such as nausea/vomiting/diarrhea/constipation/mouth sores/fatigue/loss of appetite/weight loss/malnutrition/anemia/infection risk etc., improve immune function/reduce inflammation/promote healing/support healthy weight gain/maintain muscle mass/improve quality of life etc., prevent/treat chronic diseases like diabetes/cardiovascular disease/bone loss etc., optimize medication effectiveness/minimize drug interactions/manage comorbidities like hypertension/hyperlipidemia/gastrointestinal disorders etc., address psychological/emotional concerns like anxiety/depression/stress/fear/worry/isolation/social support needs etc.
The RDN also provides education on how to read food labels/navigate restaurant menus/cook healthy meals at home/shop for groceries on budget/use supplements safely/manage hydration/integrate physical activity into daily routine/collaborate with healthcare team members effectively/communicate with family members/caregivers about nutritional goals/challenges/etc. The goal is not only to provide practical tips but also empower patients with knowledge so they can make informed decisions about what they eat/drink/do during their cancer journey.
