Integrative AF: Fighting Cancer with More Than Just Medicine

Welcome to the F-U Cancer Podcast! Today, we’re honored to be joined by Laura Kerns, MPH, RDN, LDN, FAND — a highly respected Registered Dietitian and expert in oncology nutrition. With a deep passion for both clinical care and public education, Laura has spent her career helping cancer patients improve their quality of life through evidence-based, compassionate nutritional support.

From building a thriving integrative oncology practice to expanding her work into areas like weight management, diabetes, women’s health, and gut health, Laura brings a wealth of experience and insight. She’s also a dynamic speaker who makes complex nutrition topics accessible for everyone — whether you’re a patient, caregiver, or healthcare professional.

In this episode, Laura dives into how nutrition can help manage treatment side effects like nausea and fatigue, the role of complementary therapies like meditation or acupuncture, immune-boosting foods during chemo and radiation, and how caregivers can support loved ones through nutrition.
