We have teamed up with Dr Sue Read (Immunonutrition researcher) and Dr Cecilia Kitic (Dietician and Exercise Physiologist) to create this online Masterclass that's loaded with strategies to help you transform the way you eat.
Your gut health is super influential to breast cancer outcomes. Eating better and nurturing your gut microbiome has been shown to improve treatment responsiveness, reduce side effects and enhance recovery.
What you'll get:
When you purchase the Masterclass, you will receive a 6-module course written by the experts showing you how to scale-up your nutrition and gut health.
Guided Workbook
You will receive an in-depth workbook to help you implement the strategies you'll learn into your everyday life with practical activities and checklists.
Digestible Videos
Each module contains bite-sized videos (under 20 minutes each) that you can watch any time.
Recipe Book
We've compiled our best gut-loving recipes for you to enjoy cooking at home.
What you'll learn in each module:
- Gut-Cancer Connection
Explore the relationship between your gut health and breast cancer. Get to know who is living in your gut, what they do and why they are so integral to bouncing back!
- What's On Your Plate?
This module will step you through a comprehensive dietary analysis so you are clear on your energy intake and your breakdown of macronutrients. Discover key micronutrients you may be missing out on and how much gut health boosting fibre you are getting in your diet.
- Macronutrient Breakdown
Carbohydrates, fats and proteins all nurture your gut differently. Find out the best balance of macronutrients for fuelling your gut microbiota.
- Key Micronutrients for Gut Health
Transform your gut microbiota for optimal recovery with key micronutrients. Learn what these key nurturing elements are and how to incorporate them into every day eating.
- Prebiotics and Probiotics
The best food to nurture your gut microbiota includes fibre. BUT not all fibre promotes the growth of beneficial microbes in your gut. We will step you through the role of prebiotic fibre in boosting your gut diversity and where to find it! You will also find out what probiotics are and if you should be incorporating them into your diet.
- Choose to Nourish
Treatment can affect our desire to eat and change the way food tastes or smells. They may also lead to weight gain and increased fatigue. Nurturing your gut during and after treatment is a way to take control of your health. In this module we will explore tips and strategies to make looking after our gut bugs part of your every day.
Our gut plays a major role in overall health, including breast health. We have trillions of microorganisms, including bacteria, living in our gut. These microbes rely on us and we rely on them. They play an essential role in:
- Hormone balance and regulating oestrogen levels
- Dampening inflammation to reduce lymphoedema
- Producing metabolites that influence cancer cell proliferation
- Responsiveness to chemotherapy
- Modulating metabolism and weight
- Influencing mood and wellbeing
Research shows almost half of all women diagnosed with breast cancer wanted nutritional guidance, although few reported having received access to dietary recommendations.
This course is a fantastic way to access these recommendations.
- Optimise immune responsiveness.
- Reduce inflammation.
- Promote the production of short chain fatty acids.
- Increase anti-proliferative metabolites.
- Enhance nutrient extraction and metabolism for weight management.
- Dampen oestrogen recycling for better hormone balance.
- Reduced absorption of toxins and carcinogens.
- Improve breast cancer treatment responsiveness, reduce side effects and enhance recovery.
If you want to learn more on how to:
- Nurture your gut health to get the most out of your treatment and recovery

- Address imbalances in gut microbiota diversity that are caused by breast cancer
- Improve your gut health to reduce the risk and impact of lymphoedema
- Learn how to improve your gut health for future wellbeingThen this Masterclass is the perfect place to start!
Why is the Masterclass offering so much for the cost of one consultation?
Kate, Sue and Cecilia wanted to create a resource that was accessible online to reach many women all over the globe who may not have access to this kind of medical advice. Because gut health is a great predictor of treatment responsiveness and recovery, they wanted to create something that could truly change the outcomes of breast cancer.
Over half of women diagnosed with breast cancer said they wanted nutritional guidance, however the resources were hard to come by. So Kate, Sue and Cecilia worked hard to design a course to be accessed by anyone looking to educate and empower themselves at any stage of their journey.
When is the best time to complete the course?
The Masterclass is tailored to suit everyone at any stage of their diagnoses; whether you have just been diagnosed, or you're in post-recovery stage - and at every point in between!
How long will it take to complete the Masterclass?
The course is broken up into short videos (under 20 mins each) so you can step through the content with flexibility. You can complete the Masterclass in as little as one week or over the course of a few weeks.
