Podcast: Teal Talk — Nutrition during ovarian cancer treatment

Nutrition during ovarian cancer treatment can feel confusing, frustrating and emotionally heavy. Many people begin treatment determined to eat “the right way,” only to discover that their body responds very differently to food than before. Taste changes, nausea, fatigue and digestive side effects can make even simple meals feel overwhelming.

The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition^® hosts, “Teal Talk — An Ovarian Cancer Podcast.” In this Teal Talk episode, Catherine Macpherson, our senior vice president and chief nutrition officer at Mom’s Meals^®, sits in to talk about why eating becomes difficult during treatment and what actually helps. This information-packed conversation reframes nutrition during ovarian cancer treatment as something flexible, compassionate and manageable rather than perfect.

Get details on topics such as:

• Why eating can feel so hard during ovarian cancer treatment
• What to focus on when appetite and energy are low
• Practical food strategies for common side effects
• When you are too tired to cook
• What you can do right now
