Specialist Nutritional Therapy: Your Path to Cancer Support and Wellness
A Holistic Approach
A cancer diagnosis is life-changing, and the journey through treatment and recovery is demanding. At Eglin Health, we believe in a fully holistic health and wellness approach to support you.
Our Nutritional Therapy* programmes are designed to work alongside your medical treatment, focusing on supporting your body’s resilience, minimising treatment side effects, and promoting long-term well-being. This is holistic health in action—addressing the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
📈The Power of Prevention and Lifestyle Control
Cancer is on the increase. According to Cancer Research UK (1) one in two people in the UK born after 1960 will be diagnosed with some form of cancer during their lifetime. On the face of it, this is a rather daunting statistic.
However, the good news is that studies also show that around 90–95% of all cancers have their roots in environmental and lifestyle factors (2). Consequently, by making positive changes to your diet, lifestyle and general environment you have enormous power and potential to significantly reduce your risk of cancer ever occurring in the first place.
🌟 Part I: Nutritional Support During & After Cancer Treatment
Your treatment plan is unique, and so are your nutritional needs. Our tailored health programmes provide dedicated nutritional support cancer before, during, and after conventional therapy.
We help you gain clarity and resilience by focusing on key areas:

We cut through the confusion to highlight the best anti cancer foods and how they fit into a supportive diet and cancer plan.
