This week Amy speaks from her heart, on a topic that is very near and dear to her heart (yes we did say heart again) -the organ that is associated with love! So it it most appropriate that February being heart month, Amy talks of self-love and offers you some tools and steps to take to begin your journey to self love and compassion.  <https://hopespring.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=245009009133a608181d89b73&id=cd9b779a4d&e=ece80c31c3> Read more

When You Should See a Community Dietitian?
Cancer and cancer treatment can affect your appetite (when you do not have a feeling of hunger or interest in food). You may also have questions about what you should eat.
Talk to your health care team about any trouble you have eating (e.g. upset stomach, trouble swallowing) or if it becomes harder to eat.

A Registered Dietitian has training in food and nutrition. A Registered Dietitian will work with you to make a plan that fits your goals and lifestyle.
