Announcing Eat Holistic’s Nutritional Cancer Care Programs

NB_EatHolistic_DSC03928_2_2Attention all cancer warriors! If you have been searching for how you can actively take part in your fight against cancer, look no further! Eat Holistic LLC nutritional consultancy specializes in providing nourishing solutions to complement conventional cancer treatments, support post-treatment recovery and optimize a disease-preventive lifestyle.

The conventional way of approaching the fight against cancer is to target the tumor, not the whole body. Cancer does not exist in isolation; it is influenced by its surrounding environment and communicates actively between cells. Founder Kirstin Nussgruber’s mission through Eat Holistic LLC is to empower her clients to actively take charge of their own health by educating them on the conscious choices available to them and coach them through this transformative phase of their lives.

Eat Holistic LLC offers individually tailored nutritional programs that incorporate foods that have been shown to have cancer-fighting compounds. These super foods help boost your immune system as well as potentially reduce the toxic side effects and increase the efficacy of conventional treatments.

Nussgruber, a twice breast cancer survivor, credits adopting a holistic approach that equally incorporates body, mind and soul to helping her tolerate her therapies and emerge as a thriving survivor. She explains, “you have access to a natural pharmacy right on your plate! While doing what you need to do anyway – eating - you can actively take part in creating an internal environment that is potentially inhospitable to cancer.”

Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
