Being a Nutritionist with Cancer

Описание: This video is a little more about my perspective of going through mastectomy as a holistic health professional and a nutritionist. It has been hard to comply at times with the plans of my doctors, because I have done my own research and I'm getting used to letting my own intuition guide me, which always seems a little slower and a little challenging to doctors who are used to being feared and not questioned! (Be sure to consult your doctor before changing treatment plans--this video is not meant to be medical advice of any kind!)

The organization that I am board certified as a holistic nutritionist with is called the National Association of Nutrition Professionals. They are at nanp.org. Some states don't allow people to use the title "nutritionist," even when they are board certified by NANP, but my state of Oregon does.

My two MD who practices from an integrative perspective is Dawn Lemanne MD at Oregon Integrative Oncology. I highly recommend her, especially if you need or want a fresh perspective. My acupuncturist is Gary Wagman at Harmony Clinic in West Linn Oregon. He is the best ever, especially for cancer survivors.
