Nutrition & Lifestyle
At Apollo Athenaa Women’s Cancer Centre, we believe that healing begins with how a woman nourishes and nurtures herself. Nutrition and lifestyle play a central role in supporting the body’s resilience during treatment, improving energy levels, reducing side effects, and strengthening long-term wellness.
Our team of clinical dietitians and lifestyle counsellors — specially trained in women’s oncology — work alongside each woman to help her make sustainable, evidence-based changes that complement medical treatment and support physical and emotional recovery.
Nutrition & Lifestyle Support During Cancer Treatment
Cancer and its various treatments can significantly affect appetite, digestion, metabolism, sleep quality and energy levels. Our specialised team provides:
- Individualised meal planning tailored to energy needs, taste changes, and treatment side effects.
- Support for managing symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, constipation, diarrhoea, mouth sores, and loss of appetite.
- High-protein, high-calorie diets for those struggling with weight loss or muscle wasting.
- Modified diets for women with diabetes, gastrointestinal issues, or other medical conditions.
- Physical activity guidance based on energy levels and medical fitness
- Sleep hygiene strategies to reduce fatigue and promote better rest
- Stress-reducing practices such as guided breathing, gentle movement, and routine-building
- Lifestyle advice tailored to hormonal health, bone strength, and metabolic balance
We ensure that each woman receives adequate nutrition and lifestyle interventions to maintain treatment intensity, reduce infection risk, and support faster healing.
Post-Treatment & Survivorship Nutrition
Recovery doesn’t stop when treatment ends. Nutrition continues to play a vital role in helping women regain strength, manage weight, and reduce the risk of recurrence. Our dietitians offer:
- Anti-inflammatory and cancer-protective dietary advice
- Long-term plans to manage hormone-related weight changes or bone health
- Guidance for transitioning back to a balanced, sustainable eating pattern
- Strategies for addressing fatigue, digestive changes, or emotional eating after treatment
- Create sustainable routines that include physical activity, sleep, and stress management
- Understand how food, habits, and daily rhythms influence long-term risk and recovery
Whether it's restoring lost weight, transitioning back to work, or adapting to a new lifestyle after cancer treatment, our team provides structured and empathetic support.
Care Designed for Women
Every woman’s body responds differently to cancer and its treatments; influenced by her hormones, life stage, and lived experience. That’s why our care is designed around women’s unique needs.
Our team of dietitians and lifestyle specialists blends clinical precision with empathy, helping women feel informed, supported, and in control of their health. At Apollo Athenaa, we know that true healing involves not just medicine, but everyday choices that nurture the body, mind, and spirit.
