Personalized Nutrition for Oncology & Cancer Care
Virtual Symposium May 15, 2026
Nutrition is not complementary care.
It is care.
Leading oncology nutrition experts tackle the evidence your patients are already citing: from therapeutic fasting to nutrigenomics, epigenetics to survivorship. Leave with protocols you can use Monday morning.
Friday, May 15 • 10AM - 5 PM Eastern
Virtual • Live + 90-day replay
9.5 CE/CME credits · AMA PRA Category 1
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Built for clinicians who treat the whole patient
Whether you're an integrative oncologist, a CNS supporting mid-treatment patients, or a pharmacist fielding supplement questions — this symposium meets you at the level of clinical practice, not theory.
FEATURED SESSIONS
10 evidence-forward sessions. Immediately applicable.
The Current Integrative Oncology Landscape: A Roadmap

The Effects of Nutrient Timing on Cancer-Related Fatigue
Carin Clingan, MS, CNS, LDN
New perspectives on how when patients eat may be as important as what they eat in managing one of oncology's most debilitating symptoms.
Emotional Barriers to Healing: How Psychological Distress Influences Cancer Treatment Outcomes
Jorge Luis Morales, ND, CNS, LDN

Shari M. Youngblood, DCN, CNS, LDN
