About Integrative Cancer Support


This integrative model addresses the physical, emotional, and nutritional challenges that often accompany cancer care. Whether you’re navigating chemo side effects, rebuilding strength, supporting your immune system, or coping with the emotional weight of the journey, our team works together to create a personalized plan that aligns with your medical treatment and honors your lived experience. We also work to bring you evidence-supported therapies to help improve clinical outcomes.

The goal is simple: to help you feel supported, resilient, and empowered at every stage of your healing process.

What is the Process?

Integrative cancer support at Mend is built around the belief that healing requires more than treating a diagnosis — it requires caring for the whole person. Our approach brings together a collaborative team that includes a nurse practitioner, a registered dietitian, and a mental health counselor, ensuring that every aspect of your well‑being is assessed supported throughout treatment and recovery.

After your initial assessment, our team will provide the recommended next steps.

FAQs for Integrative Cancer Support

Yes. Our nurse practitioner only has 90 minutes to get through an immense amount of medical information and help you understand the next steps to take. To make sure we have the time to get a complete mental health and nutrition assessment, these pieces are completed by our other licensed providers who specialize in these assessments. Together, the three practitioners will create a well rounded plan for you.

After your initial assessment, you will meet with the nurse practitioner again to review labwork/finalize treatment plans within the next 3-5 weeks. After this, we recommend planning to see the nurse practitioner every 3 months to make sure we are staying on top of your care and staying in the loop with your conventional treatment. As you become more stable or enter remission, appointments may be able to be spaced apart further. Appointment plans with dietitian or counselor will be recommended after your initial assessment, but can always be completed as needed.

No! Absolutely not! Our care is designed to complement your oncology treatment, not interfere with it. We coordinate recommendations to ensure safety and alignment with your medical team.

No. We do not treat or cure cancer, and we are not oncologists or tumor specialists. Our role is to support your body, ease side effects, and strengthen your internal terrain while you follow your medical treatment plan.

It refers to improving the body’s internal environment — things like inflammation, nutrient status, stress response, and metabolic balance — to make the system more resilient and less hospitable to cancer growth. For example, studies show that having an elevated CRP (inflammation) leads to a poorer prognosis and worse clinical outcomes – so addressing roots of inflammation may help improve cancer outcomes.

Yes, if appropriate for your case, medical history, and safety with treatment plan.

Only for the initial assessment – this is more for us obtaining information than it is for you. If additional counseling/mental health support is needed and you already have care in place, you can absolutely continue seeing that provider. However, our mental health counselor has unique experience supporting cancer patients and addressing root cause mental health concerns.

Depending on your needs, support may include nutrition therapy, targeted supplements, IV therapy or advanced IV therapies, stress‑reduction strategies, sleep and mood support, and lifestyle guidance.
