Nutrition Therapy
Carson Tahoe Nutrition Therapy provides specialized nutrition support in Carson City and across Northern Nevada for patients undergoing cancer treatment. As part of Carson Tahoe Cancer Services, our registered and licensed dietitians deliver personalized, evidence- based guidance to support treatment tolerance, recovery, and survivorship.
Nutrition Support During Treatment
Nutrition therapy is an important part of cancer care, helping patients maintain strength, manage side effects, and support the body during treatment. Our registered dietitians work closely with patients to develop individualized nutrition plans based on diagnosis, treatment type, and personal needs. Our team also provides education and training for self-administering nutrition through a feeding tube.
Dietitians are available during infusion sessions, as well as by appointment, telephone or drop-in at the Carson Tahoe Cancer Resource Center, providing flexible access to ongoing support.
Personalized Nutrition Counseling
Our licensed dietitians provide guidance on a range of nutrition-related topics, including dietary changes that can help ease treatment side effects, dietary recommendations for specific types of cancers, and nutrition strategies aligned with individual treatment plans.
Services may include support with dietary adjustments, supplement guidance, integrative and functional nutrition approaches, and education on maintaining adequate nutrition throughout treatment and recovery. Our licensed dietitians can also provide nutrition strategies to help reduce the risk of cancer recurrence.
