Your Supportive Partner in Cancer Recovery

Hello, I’m Pam Hartnett

 As a Functional Cancer Health Coach and Registered Dietitian, I’ll guide you back to strength and health following your cancer diagnosis. We’ll create a personalized plan that addresses what’s actually driving your cancer risk, restores your energy, and rebuilds your health from the ground up. 

Together, we’ll help your body become naturally resistant to cancer by addressing your root causes and what’s still affecting your healing. You’ll have a plan that fits your body and your life, helps you heal more deeply, and reduces your risk of recurrence. 

With each step, you’ll see real results and feel confident that you’re doing the right things for your body and your future.

I’ve been where you are now, and I’m here to help…

Back in 2010, I faced a stage 4 lymphoma diagnosis that I was told was incurable. I’ve felt the same worry, confusion, uncertainty, and fear about the future that you may be feeling now. It’s easy to feel lost amidst the sea of information, not knowing where to turn or who to trust.

Initially I focused on food and nutrition. Being a dietitian, it felt like the obvious place to start.

I became very rigid, even maniacal, about every bite I ate. I took gobs of supplements. I refused to go out to eat. I avoided social situations where I didn’t have control over what I was eating. And when I ‘cheated,’ I found myself grappling with guilt, fear, and anxiety.

Ironically, despite carefully following a strict anti-cancer diet, my cancer began to grow even faster.

Now here’s where it gets interesting…

Sometimes you can know something intellectually, but you don’t embrace it fully until it’s happening to you.

Can you relate?

For me, I knew that stress fuels cancer. 

 But even with this intellectual knowledge, I couldn’t see clearly how these rigid eating rules were creating intense stress and disconnection from the people I loved, and that this was actually causing the cancer to grow. 

My attempts to control everything were clearly feeding the disease.

This realization led me to take a step back and address my health holistically. I considered everything from stress levels and sleep patterns to mindset and environmental toxins. Sure, nutrition was a part of the solution, but there was so much more to it.

Once I sorted through the underlying conditions and root causes that were undermining my health, I stopped trying to fix everything at once. Instead, I focused on the one or two changes that would have the biggest impact on my healing right now. Slowly and systematically, without the stress, I built on what was working and let go of what wasn’t.

These changes made all the difference. My cancer began to retreat.

I’m here to support you

You want more than just to feel better or a quick fix that only addresses your symptoms.

You deserve to heal at a deeper level, build a body that’s naturally resistant to cancer, and walk into every scan and test with confidence instead of fear.

That’s what we work toward together.

I’ve lived this. And I’ve spent fifteen years combining my own experience as a patient with deep professional training to develop an approach that goes beyond managing symptoms and gets to what’s actually driving your cancer risk.

I also know that you need to be able to live this way for the long haul. So we never create rigid rules or strict diets that don’t fit your life and your health needs.
