Integrative Oncology Support in San Francisco
Integrative Oncology Support
Personalized integrative oncology care designed to work alongside your treatment, with support for symptoms, nutrition, recovery, and quality of life.
A Thoughtful, Comprehensive Approach to Supportive Oncology Care
A cancer diagnosis can bring a lot to navigate at once — treatment decisions, appointments, new information, and changes in how you feel day to day. Our integrative oncology care is designed to work alongside your oncology team and partner with you throughout treatment and recovery.
We look at the broader picture of your health, including metabolic health, digestion and microbiome function, nutrition, sleep, energy, hormones, stress, and treatment-related symptoms such as nausea, neuropathy, and fatigue.
Each plan is shaped around your diagnosis, treatment protocol, symptoms, and goals, with recommendations designed to complement the care you’re already receiving. Our goal is to help you feel supported, informed, and cared for at every stage.
ROOTED IN COLLABORATIVE CARE
Integrative oncology isn't an alternative to your treatment, it's the support that surrounds it
We take an evidence-informed, naturopathic approach that is always grounded in the oncology care you’re already receiving. Recommendations are made with your treatment plan in mind — including chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, and surgery — so that supportive care feels thoughtful, coordinated, and aligned with your medical team.
Support for every stage of your cancer journey
From diagnosis through treatment, recovery, and survivorship, care evolves with you and is tailored to what feels most supportive at each stage.
-
Thoughtful support for treatment-related symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, neuropathy, hot flashes, mucositis, and digestive changes - with care tailored to help you feel more comfortable and supported throughout treatment.
-
Individualized nutrition guidance and carefully selected botanicals and supplements, screened for interactions with chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted agents.
-
Support for hormone-sensitive cancers, treatment-induced menopause, thyroid and adrenal function, and metabolic changes that can occur during and after treatment.
-
Care for the digestive changes that often come with treatment - including constipation, diarrhea, appetite changes, and gut microbiome disruption.
-
Gentle, sustainable strategies for sleep disruption, anxiety, and the emotional weight that often accompanies a cancer diagnosis and its treatment.
-
Thoughtful support for life after active treatment, with personalized guidance around nutrition, movement, metabolic health, lingering symptoms, and sustainable habits that support long-term wellbeing.
Care that evolves with you
-
Building Your Foundation
We help you get oriented - reviewing your treatment plan, identifying nutrient and lifestyle priorities before treatment begins, and putting baseline supports in place to help your body handle what's ahead.
-
Managing Side Effects in Real Time
As your treatment plan progresses, we adjust alongside it - addressing new symptoms as they arise, supporting energy and appetite, and helping you move through each treatment cycle with as much comfort and support as possible.
-
Recovery and Rebuilding
Once active treatment ends, care shifts toward recovery - rebuilding strength, supporting resilience, and helping you move forward with thoughtful attention to your long-term health and wellbeing.
