Nutrition for cancer support - initial package with Korina Karadimou
KORINA KARADIMOU
BANT-REGISTERED NUTRITIONIST AND NUTRITIONAL THERAPY PRACTITIONER SPECIALISING IN CANCER NUTRITION
INTEGRATIVE CANCER CARE
Korina is a BANT-registered nutritionist and nutritional therapy practitioner specialising in integrative cancer nutrition support. Her academic background is originally in psychology where she studied at the University of Athens, Greece.
In 2016 she was diagnosed with stage IV lymphoma (a form of blood cancer) and was disappointed at the lack of integrative support and poor nutritional knowledge of her standard medical team. As a lymphoma survivor, Korina subsequently embarked on a journey of studying Nutritional Therapy at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London. She has also studied with Dr Nina Fuller Shavel since 2020, completing both the NTEC certified Systems Approach to Cancer course and the Advanced Practitioner Module in Breast Cancer. She is also an ongoing member of Dr Nina’s close mentorship group, benefiting and learning from her vast knowledge & experience.
Korina’s special areas of interest are blood cancers (haematological malignancies) and breast cancer. She has a keen interest in complex health cases where she combines both her behavioural science and nutritional therapy knowledge. Korina always follows a personalised, evidence-based approach to nutrition support and is experienced in using additional functional testing approaches, e.g. gut microbiome assessment and nutrigenomics testing.
INTEGRATIVE CANCER SUPPORT - NUTRITION PACKAGE FEES
Our 3-month nutrition package includes an initial consultation of 90 minutes with two follow-up consultations of 60 minutes and two catch up calls of 30 minutes. Written personalised health plans with recipes and supporting information are provided. All sessions of the package must be taken within a 6-month period, or any further sessions left at the end of this timeframe will be null and void.
Please note that our nutrition team is not able to work with integrative doctors outside our clinic beyond our approved referral network, as we aim to keep an aligned and consistent approach. Similarly, if you are under the care of a dietitian in the NHS, we are not usually able to provide joint support. If you have other professionals apart from your oncology team involved in your care, you will need to notify us and discuss this with our clinic coordinator (jody@synthesisclinic.co.uk) before booking in. It is essential that you are consciously prepared to make some nutrition and lifestyle changes before contacting the clinic and to invest time and effort into this approach with our support, as it is not a quick fix.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your clinic coordinator, Jody Middleton on:
