Recorded Webinar: Co-Managing the Thriving Oncology Patient

Recorded webinar

This webinar was presented on Wednesday, July 24, 2019 from 2-3 p.m. ET. 

Dietitian Shayna Komar works in collaboration with Chef Nancy Waldeck to show how a partnership made up of different healthcare professionals can work to make a positive impact for a cancer survivor. The dietitians’ role may include developing a patient care plan that is not confusing with all different diets. The chef’s role may include taking the nutrition advice from the dietitian to develop a menu, create recipes, and provide information on purchasing and preparation. Overall, nutrition can play a positive role for a thriving survivor if it is done well.

Healthy Chef Partyologist Nancy Waldeck’s exuberant approach to healthy cuisine and fun wine leads her to deliver over 100 classes a year in interesting locations – from a United States embassy to corporate offices like Google, Southern Company and Norfolk Southern, and hospital wellness centers to a twice-a-month healthy cooking segment for NBC’s Atlanta and Company, and farmers’ markets and international conferences.

Nancy hosts carefully-curated wine and culinary trips around the world for small groups of curious guests. She believes cooking and traveling are two of the most rewarding (and fun!) things in life and her classes and events use food and wine to learn more about the world. At the intersection of cuisine and travel is where her expertise and passion meet, and result in fascinating and informative classes and tours.
