Who this Playbook is For
This playbook is for patients recently diagnosed with cancer seeking evidence-based complementary strategies. Patients who are currently undergoing treatment and want to optimize outcomes without having to wait for a specialist appointment. Cancer survivors looking to reduce the risk of recurrence, and caregivers supporting loved ones through cancer treatment.
Why Our Playbook is Different
While most cancer nutrition resources focus on what to eat, this playbook provides a quick-start guide with 7 evidence-based sections of actionable steps you can implement immediately. Drawing from a holistic framework, it addresses healing from multiple dimensions without the overwhelming length of a traditional book.
Here's the Game Plan
Section 1:
The Resilience Wheel of Health™
Section 2:
Five Pillars of Nutrition for Cancer Care
Section 3:
Mind-Body-Spirit Interventions
Section 4:
Integration & Implementation
Section 5:

Section 7:
Over 75 Easy-to-Prepare Recipes
Free Access to Fullscript.com - our Online supplement dispensary, along with Our 1st Round Pick supplement and resource recommendations.
For Patients frustrated that their care teams have limited knowledge of complementary therapies, holistic approaches, and nutritional interventions. You are in the right place. This playbook is a starting place to address that gap for only $27.
The Resilience Wheel of Health™
The Resilience Wheel of Health™ organizes healing interventions across 9 life dimensions, all anchored in a central core of safety & connection, where it must begin. While traditional wheel of health models center on the individual, our approach recognizes safety and connection as the foundation upon which all other life dimensions build, creating the resilience necessary for true thriving. Without this foundation of safety and connection, it is difficult to balance your nervous system between fight/flight and shut-down dissociated states.

Get to the root cause of your symptoms
We are honored that you are here. We recognize that you may have landed here at the recommendation of a friend, neighbor, or provider – which we love to hear! We also realize you may have found us organically after searching and searching online for more answers, with experiences of not feeling heard, or supported by your current healthcare team. We have been there too. Either way, we will work diligently to get to the root cause of your symptoms, offering you support in all aspects of your health because we really want to see you thrive! Some symptoms can be resolved with dietary changes, others need some herbal or nutrient supplementation. Others still will need additional lab work we can provide or will connect you with our most trusted complementary providers for medicine, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, and more. While we are an integrative and functional practice, we are also budget conscious (which is why we take insurance!) and all treatment decisions will center around collaboration, not compliance.

A Life-Saving Journey
"I cannot express how much you have saved my life, and not just that - the quality of life also. I felt that this time [bingeing] was different - it wasn't emotion - it had to be nutition or some nutrient that was missing."
— Durham
Newfound Confidence
"I have seen other Dietitians, but none like Jill Brown. She is so knowledgeable, but remains personable and explains the complicated world of food in a way that I can understand. This is the first time I've ever made major changes to my diet without feeling totally overwhelmed."
— Western NC
Finally Feeling Heard
"I have so many providers and you are the first person I have talked with that can actually relate to what I have been going through, to help me. I appreciate all of the time you spent with me and your patience in explaining everything."
— Durham
Getting Labs I Needed
"I am so grateful you gave me the guidance and confidence to insist that my doctor check thyroid antibodies to figure out if I have autoimmune [condition] or not. This changes how I approach my hypothyroid condition and my doctor is much more open to ordering labs I may need now."
— Clayton
Turned Things Around
"I first met Jill about 5 years ago at a very low point in my life (physical health/mental health - wise) and she helped me turn things around (anxiety, digestion, energy, you name it)! I've been meeting with her regularly ever since. She's so knowledgeable and patient and up-to-date on her research, and committed to her patients. Other folks on her team are also exceptional. The fact I can use insurance benefits for some services is wonderful, too. Highly recommend!"
— Google Review
Feeling Better Every Day
"I have been working with Jill on the LEAP Protocol and the results have amazed me. She walked me through a meal plan based on my results as well as my food preferences. Initially, I was nervous that the elimination diet would be far too restrictive for me, but Jill was able to show me where to find lots of new recipes and resources to make this process smoother. I am confident you will feel the same way after working with Jill!"
— Yelp Review
Finally! A Diagnosis
"I know our time working together was brief but you may be one of the greatest influences on my medical journey... I genuinely believe I would still be struggling physically, emotionally and mentally with undiagnosed PCOS if it wasn't for you empowering me to advocate for myself."
— Raleigh
Better Quality of Life
"I have lost 25 lbs from just getting rid of foods causing inflammation for me. It has been different but very doable. I have more energy and less joint pain - so it is working!"
— Durham
