L&B Clinics pairs board-certified oncology dietitians with your treatment team, so your nutrition plan changes as your body does — through chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and recovery.

Why nutrition, specifically now
Nausea, taste changes, and fatigue are not something to push through quietly. They're clinical symptoms with clinical responses — and left unaddressed, they can affect how well your body tolerates treatment.
We build small, calorie- and protein-dense meal patterns that don't require a large appetite to matter.
Common with chemotherapy and radiation. We adjust seasoning, temperature, and texture to find what still tastes like food.
Timing meals around treatment cycles and infusion days, not against them.
Tracked against your treatment calendar, not a generic chart, so a plateau is caught early.
Texture-modified plans for head, neck, and esophageal treatment, coordinated with speech-language pathology when needed.
Nutrition strategies that support strength for daily function, not just lab values on paper.
How the program works
This isn't a single meal plan handed to you once. It's a standing relationship with a dietitian who already knows your regimen.
A 60-minute intake covering diagnosis, treatment plan, lab values, current eating patterns, and the symptoms already affecting you. We request records directly from your oncology team with your consent.
A written plan matched to your treatment calendar — what to eat on infusion days versus recovery days, protein and calorie targets, and specific responses for the symptoms you're already managing.
Weekly or biweekly check-ins through chemotherapy, radiation, or post-surgical recovery. Your plan is revised as side effects, labs, or your treatment protocol change.
Once active treatment ends, we shift toward rebuilding strength, restoring a normal relationship with food, and long-term nutrition patterns tied to reducing recurrence risk.

"I ask how someone's actually living day to day before I ask what they're eating. A plan only works if it fits their real routine, not the one on paper."
My dietitian asked what infusion days actually felt like before she asked what I was eating. That order mattered more than I expected it to.

Getting started
You can self-refer into the program. We'll still coordinate with your oncology team once you're enrolled.
Medical nutrition therapy for an active cancer diagnosis is covered by most plans. Our team verifies your benefits before your first visit.
If treatment side effects make travel difficult on a given week, your check-in moves to video without losing continuity.
Whoever is doing the cooking is welcome in the room — planning around real kitchens gets better results than planning alone.
Ready when you are
Same-week appointments are usually available. Reach out however is easiest for you.
Questions
No. You can enroll directly. Once you're in the program, we request your records and coordinate with your oncology team with your written consent.
No — visits are scheduled around your infusion, radiation, or surgical calendar, and can move to telehealth on weeks when travel is difficult.
Yes. Nutrition can help manage:
Nausea
Vomiting
Constipation
Diarrhea
Mouth sores
Taste changes
Fatigue
Weight loss
That's expected. Your plan is revised at each check-in based on current symptoms and labs, not held to what was written at intake.
Yes. We encourage whoever is preparing your meals to join, whether that's in person or on the same telehealth call.
