Optimal Nutrition is a foundation for health. Dr. Mawji has received training in a vary of dietary guidelines and believes that there is no definite answer when it comes to nutrition. Every person has different needs, health conditions, socioeconomic means, cultural backgrounds, lifestyles & more. Foods that can benefit one person may actually worsen a condition in another.

 

So, what is the right diet for you? There is no right answer. Often, it may be a blend of recommendations from a variety of diets that might be appropriate for you. Over-restrictive nutrition plans are hard to sustain. Consistency is more important than perfection. 

​

So, we need to eliminate the “good vs. bad” thought processes around food and really create long term habits for longevity.

In regards to Naturopathic Integrative Cancer Care, nutrition plays an integral role in supporting patients through conventional medical treatments. One example is weight management. Often, dietary suggestions provided to patients involve recommendations low in nutrients and high in processed sugars & unhealthy fats in order to help patients maintain weight during chemotherapy treatments. There are better ways to navigate nutrition in cancer care without increasing risk for other chronic disease. Working with a naturopathic doctor can provide insight along with ongoing accountability and support.

Dr. Mawji will be able to work with you to make changes towards a more nutrient-dense & sustainable lifestyle for you.
