About
On the cancer journey, you can struggle to find reliable information to help you support yourself. Doctors know all about treatment options but often don’t offer advice on diet and lifestyle changes, nutritional supplements and herbs that can help to support that treatment. That’s what you’ll find here, all backed by research.
I’m Jenny Graves and my mission is to empower you with the knowledge that you need to help your body heal!
I’m a cancer survivor myself. I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia in 2009. Before starting treatment, I was told to stop taking all supplements, which left me feeling totally disempowered. I’d always been interested in nutrition and other aspects of natural medicine, so I used all my know-how to support myself during treatment. I ate well, meditated and, once I was well enough, I would go for walks. When my treatment ended, I added some supplements and herbs to help my body back to health. My haematologist has told me that I’m one of her superstar patients.
Once I’d recovered from chemo brain, I decided to study for an Advanced Diploma of Naturopathy, so that I could write a book to help others on their cancer journey, and keep myself well too. I spent four years learning about the workings of the human body, chemistry, biochemistry, nutrition, herbs and various other therapies. I also learned how to read scientific studies and to differentiate between good research and bad.
Details of my book are here . You can also keep yourself up to date on the latest research with the articles on my blog.
