Integrative Oncology Nutrition
From Evidence to Practice
A six-week, evidence-informed education program for nutritionists and naturopaths.
Cancer care is complex, and knowing how to provide safe, appropriate nutrition support can feel overwhelming, particularly when oncology isn't your primary area of practice.
Integrative Oncology Nutrition: From Evidence to Practice has been developed to bridge the gap between nutritional science and clinical practice, helping qualified practitioners develop the foundational knowledge and practical skills to better support clients affected by cancer.

When a client with cancer enters your consultation room, do you feel confident knowing what to do?
You may already be supporting clients who are undergoing cancer treatment, navigating long-term side effects or seeking nutritional guidance after treatment.
But cancer nutrition raises important questions:
What nutritional priorities change during cancer treatment?
How do you assess nutritional risk and recognise when specialist support is needed?
What does the evidence really say about nutritional supplements?
How can nutrition support recovery and long-term health after cancer?
How do you separate credible scientific evidence from misinformation?
Where does your professional scope of practice begin and end?
You don't need to become an oncology specialist to better understand these questions.
You do need a sound foundation in the evidence, an understanding of clinical safety and a practical framework for making informed decisions.
That's exactly what this program is designed to provide.
Introducing Integrative Oncology Nutrition: From Evidence to Practice
This six-week online education program brings together the latest research, clinical guidelines and practical examples to help nutrition practitioners navigate the complexities of cancer care.
Through structured weekly teaching sessions and opportunities for Q&A, you'll explore how to interpret the evidence, recognise nutritional risks and translate scientific knowledge into appropriate clinical recommendations.
What You'll Learn
Week 1: Foundations of Integrative Oncology Nutrition
Understand the cancer care landscape, common treatment approaches and the role of nutrition practitioners within multidisciplinary care.
Week 2: Nutrition During Cancer Treatment
Explore nutritional priorities, treatment-related challenges, malnutrition risk and practical nutrition support.
Week 3: Nutritional Supplements in Oncology
Learn how to evaluate the evidence for nutritional supplements, recognise potential safety concerns and understand when oncology team consultation is essential.
Week 4: Nutrition in Cancer Survivorship
Explore evidence-informed nutrition strategies for long-term health, recovery, body composition, cardiometabolic health, brain health and quality of life.
Week 5: Translating Evidence into Clinical Practice
Critically evaluate research, navigate conflicting nutrition claims and communicate evidence with confidence.
Week 6: Putting It All Together
Apply your learning through practical clinical examples, assessment frameworks and multidisciplinary care considerations.
Who Is This Program For?
This program is designed for qualified nutritionists and naturopaths who:
Occasionally work with clients affected by cancer and want to strengthen their foundational knowledge.
Want to better understand nutrition during treatment and survivorship.
Feel uncertain about the evidence or safety of nutritional supplements during cancer care.
Want to build confidence in evaluating oncology nutrition research.
Value evidence-informed, ethical and collaborative healthcare.
Want practical knowledge they can apply within their existing professional scope.
You don't need previous specialist oncology training to participate.
This is a foundational education program, not a specialist oncology qualification or a substitute for advanced oncology training.
