Real food, real support, from your New York kitchen.
Stacy Roberts-Davis, RD, LDN grew up on Long Island and has been a registered dietitian for over 18 years. Through virtual sessions, she helps New Yorkers before, during and after cancer treatment, and the caregivers who cook for them, manage eating side effects, ease food fears and enjoy mealtime again.
A cancer (oncology) dietitian is a registered dietitian who helps people eat well before, during and after cancer treatment. That can include planning meals around side effects like nausea, appetite loss and taste changes, and helping you avoid unintended weight and muscle loss. In New York, the titles “Certified Dietitian” and “Certified Nutritionist” are protected by the State Education Department. A dietitian supports your oncology team’s plan; they never replace it.

“Eat Real Food.”
A culinary dietitian with Long Island roots, Stacy turns nutrition guidance into simple, flavorful meals you’ll actually want to eat.
Stacy grew up on Long Island, and as a cancer caregiver herself she knows how hard it can be to put dinner on the table during treatment. Her coaching focuses on three things:
Treatment places extra demands on your body. Good nutrition, plus activity your care team approves, can help you cope better.
Work toward maintaining muscle, a healthy weight and more day-to-day energy.
Cancer can change your relationship with food. Support helps you eat without guilt or fear.

The National Cancer Institute describes nutrition as an important part of cancer care. Here is what the evidence shows, and what it means for you.
Studies report malnutrition in roughly 30% to 85% of people with cancer, depending on the cancer type and stage.
Malnutrition is linked to more treatment side effects and lower quality of life, which is why nutrition support is part of cancer care.
Guidelines recommend referral to a registered dietitian for people with nutrition-related symptoms or malnutrition, ideally early.
Appetite loss, taste and smell changes, nausea, constipation or diarrhea, dry mouth, trouble swallowing and fatigue.

New York’s weather changes a lot over the year, and so can your appetite during treatment. These general ideas are a starting point to discuss with your dietitian and care team.
GrowNYC runs Greenmarket farmers markets in all five boroughs, many year-round. Find one near you at GrowNYC.org. Always wash produce well, and follow any food safety guidance from your care team.
Subway rides, long waits, tiny kitchens and busy schedules are part of New York life. A dietitian helps you plan for the real day, not an ideal one.
Pack easy snacks and a drink before you leave, whether you take the subway, the LIRR or Metro-North, or drive in.
Ask your clinic what you can bring to the infusion or waiting area, and plan small, frequent bites.
One-pot and sheet-pan meals keep cooking simple when you’re tired and counter space is tight.
Cook a few basics in batches so caregivers and family have ready-to-heat options.
Choose personal coaching, self-paced learning or ongoing community support.
Build kitchen skills while you learn how food supports your health.
Hand-curated meal plans from Stacy that take the stress out of “what’s for dinner?”
A resource library, customizable meal plans and monthly chats with fellow thrivers.
A hydration program with group meetings, one-on-one guidance, videos and easy recipes.
No traffic, no parking, no extra trips into the city.
Choose a time for your free 20-minute strategy call.
Talk about your diagnosis, treatment stage, symptoms and food preferences.
Receive practical meal ideas and recipes that fit your energy and kitchen.
Update your plan as treatment changes, with chat support in coaching programs.
Not all nutrition help is the same. Here’s how support from a registered dietitian compares.

| Works alongside your oncology team | Yes, encourages you to share plans with your team | Not always | No |
| Evidence-based | Yes, follows research from groups like the NCI | Varies | Often mixed with myths |
