NUTRITION CONSULTATION



Get a free one-on-one consultation with a nutrition educator

The types and amounts of foods that we eat affect our energy levels, our moods and how we feel about ourselves. A healthy lifestyle plays a key role in keeping the body strong, supporting the immune system (the cells and proteins that defend the body against infection) and reducing risk for some diseases, such as certain kinds of heart disease and some types of cancer.

Patients and caregivers may receive free one-on-one phone and email consultations with our nutrition educator.

*LLS works with PearlPoint Cancer Support to provide this service.

A Word From our Executive Director

   I want to thank you for your interest and support with such a profoundly worthy cause in helping children live happier while they are fighting for their lives.  As I look back at my journey I realize how important and necessary it is to fight to live, whether we have a medical condition or not. 

   This experience and the incredibly brave young souls that I have been blessed to know, have shown me the true meaning of the word life.  To live it everyday, every hour, every minute and every second.

   My hope is to be a comfort and support on this journey we share together called life.
