Frequently Asked Questions
Can I work with you while I am still in treatment?
Yes, we can work together while you’re in treatment. I work with people at all stages in their healing journey. Having a robust nutrition plan can help you maintain your health and tolerate aggressive treatments.
Can you help me with a diet to prevent cancer?
Whether you have never had cancer, or you are trying to prevent recurrence or secondary cancer, I can certainly help you with a nutrition plan to reduce your risk of getting cancer (again).
I just got diagnosed and I’m overwhelmed. I know diet matters, can you help me figure out what to eat?
Yes. I can get you started with a diet that aligns with your needs now, and as your needs change we can adjust your nutrition plan.
I’m getting chemo (or radiation therapy, or immunotherapy), will our work together conflict with my treatment?
When you work with KCN, your personalized nutrition plan will align with your unique circumstances and needs, including any medical treatment you are receiving.
I had cancer a long time ago, can you still help me?
Yes, I work with people at all stages of their healing journey, even many years into remission. Nutritional support is always a good tool to have in your box!
Are you willing to collaborate with my care team?
I strongly believe that having a care team that works together to support you is the very best way to approach healing. I am happy to communicate and collaborate with anyone on your team.
How long do you typically work with people?
Membership duration varies widely and depends on many factors, such as your unique needs, goals, and whether you want or need to take big steps or baby steps. I work with everyone for a minimum of two months, and clients often need support beyond that, but not always.
I’m vegan or vegetarian, will you respect that?
Yes, of course! I frequently work with vegetarians and vegans.
Can you make a nutrition plan for me that follows my religious dietary rules - such as Halal, Kosher, vegan, vegetarian?
Absolutely! We’ll make sure all the parts of your integrative nutrition plan, including food, lifestyle, and supplemental support, align with your values - however, you define them.
I have a lot of food sensitivities and intolerances, can you help me figure out what to eat?
Yes, this is where I started on my nutrition path! We can explore and address the root cause of your food sensitivities and intolerances. Typically, once we address the root cause you will be able to tolerate more foods..
Do you work with people who have food allergies?
Yes - when it comes to allergies, safety is a top concern. We’ll make sure that your plan is safe and free of allergens.
Do you work with people who have celiac disease?
I sure do, in fact, I have celiac disease so I am intimately familiar with the unique needs and challenges that come with it.
Do you take my insurance?
I do not accept insurance. However, I can provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Please understand that reimbursement is determined by your insurance company and is not guaranteed by Kathleen Comerford Nutrition.
