The integration of nutrition into survivorship care is vital for the improvement of health and longevity post-active treatment. This lunch and learn will provide an overview of key dietary recommendations for cancer prevention and survivorship as well as outline steps taken to work with oncology experts, wellness staff, and people living with and beyond cancer to develop and implement comprehensive programming to support healthy lifestyle behaviors.

Emily Hill, PhD, RDN is a Research Instructor/Fellow and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Hill’s research interest centers on the need to more precisely define the relationship between dietary intakes and cardiometabolic health within the context of obesity and cancer. Her goal is to design, optimize, evaluate, and implement sustainable behavioral interventions to improve health and enhance longevity along the cancer control continuum. Hill's projects span the translational research spectrum, from the design and integration of nutrition interventions into established clinical programs to the evaluation of clinical and biochemical indicators of health and alterations in the epigenome, proteome, metabolome, and microbiome after controlled trials.
