Big-hearted nutrition support for the Lone Star State.
Stacy Roberts-Davis, RD is a culinary registered dietitian with more than 18 years of experience and a cancer caregiver herself. Through virtual sessions, she helps Texans before, during and after cancer treatment, plus the caregivers who cook for them, manage eating side effects, stay hydrated in the Texas heat and enjoy real food again.
A cancer (oncology) dietitian is a registered dietitian who helps people eat well before, during and after cancer treatment. That can include meal planning around side effects like nausea, appetite loss and taste changes, and helping prevent unintended weight and muscle loss. In Texas, the title “Licensed Dietitian” (LD) is regulated by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), and the “Registered Dietitian” (RD) title requires current registration with the Commission on Dietetic Registration. A dietitian supports your oncology team’s plan and never replaces it.

Triple-digit days are common across much of Texas in summer. During treatment, staying hydrated deserves extra attention.
Heat, humidity and long drives to appointments add up. Stacy’s hydration program, Be AquaHolics™, offers group meetings, one-on-one guidance, videos and easy recipes to make drinking enough feel doable.
Small sips through the day can be easier than large glasses when you feel nauseated.
Texas watermelon, cucumbers and soups add fluid along with flavor.
Bring chilled drinks and snacks for drives to treatment.
Dizziness, dark urine or very dry mouth? Call your care team.
Stacy’s motto is “Eat Real Food.” Texas grows more than 60 commercial fruit and vegetable crops, so there’s something fresh nearly every month. Use these general ideas as a starting point with your dietitian and care team.
Texas grapefruit, oranges, greens, broccoli and pecans.
Citrus brightens bland flavors; warm, soft greens are easy on tired days.Strawberries, sweet onions, cabbage, carrots and blackberries.
Texas 1015 sweet onions add mild flavor to soups and sheet-pan meals.Watermelon, peaches, cantaloupe, field peas and blueberries.
Chilled fruit and smoothies may feel easier with nausea.Pumpkins, sweet potatoes, peppers, persimmons and pecans.
Roasted, soft vegetables make comforting, easy-to-chew sides.
Did you know? According to the Texas Department of Agriculture, Texas is the nation’s top watermelon producer, with harvest running from about May through October. Find local markets through the department’s GO TEXAN program. If your immune system is weakened, wash produce well and follow your care team’s food safety guidance.

Texas regulates some nutrition titles but not others, so it helps to know what each one means.
| Title | What it means in Texas | Who oversees it |
|---|---|---|
| Registered Dietitian (RD / RDN) | National credential. Requires accredited education, supervised practice and a national exam. Texas law prohibits using it without current registration. | Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) |
| Licensed Dietitian (LD) | A Texas state license. Only people licensed by TDLR may use the “Licensed Dietitian” title or “LD” initials, including for telehealth clients in Texas. | Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation |
| “Nutritionist” or “nutrition coach” | Not a protected title in Texas. Training can range from extensive to none. | No single standard |
