Teaching the Value of Nutrition — a powerful initiative for cancer prevention as well as those living with cancer. 🥗 This monthly cooking class, held in Dignity Health Cancer Institute at St. Joseph’s Nourishment Center kitchen, is all about building a healthier relationship with food. 

Each session focuses on a specific health topic and teaches participants how to prepare nutrient-dense meals and delicious dishes designed to support digestive health and overall wellness. From lower-glycemic mashed potatoes to pumpkin pie made with vegan protein, the classes blend practical culinary skills with gut-friendly nutrition. 🍎

“We want everyone who takes our classes to feel more prepared when taking control of their gut health,” says Shilpa Vasireddy, Director of the Cancer Institute. 

📍 Classes are held every 2nd Tuesday of the month at the Cancer Institute in downtown Phoenix.

While the field of scientific study is still growing and evolving, the research community increasingly acknowledges the profound and multifaceted role of the gut microbiome in cancer prevention. Maintaining a diverse and balanced gut microbiome through a healthy diet (rich in fiber, fermented foods), lifestyle choices, and potentially targeted interventions is considered a crucial strategy for overall health, and potentially for reducing cancer risk.
