Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Constant Health unique?

Constant Health is the only program  in Canada that combines clinical nutrition therapy, tools from cognitive behavior therapy(CBT), and personalized technology to support individuals  while they are at home before, during, and after cancer treatment.

Clients who register receive support from registered dietitians (RDs) who specialize in nutrition and behaviour change, providing evidence-based strategies to help  regain energy and strength, manage weight, and increase confidence with food.

Our app-based technology enhances care between appointments, offering real-time feedback, interactive tracking, and communication with your care team. You’ll also have access to Chloe, our AI assistant, who provides personalized guidance and encouragement throughout your program.

What can I expect during appointments?

Each appointment is fully virtual and tailored to your priorities. Together, you and your dietitian will:

  • Review your progress, symptoms, and challenges.
  • Identify what’s working well and pinpoint areas to adjust.
  • Develop practical, evidence-based strategies that fit your treatment stage, routine, preferences and energy levels.
  • Explore realistic, flexible strategies that feel manageable and supportive.

You’ll always have an agenda built around your needs, whether that’s improving intake during periods of low appetite, managing fatigue, or exploring new eating patterns after treatment.

Will I need to buy special foods or supplements?

No. We will never require you to purchase special foods or supplements.

If supplements are medically indicated for example, to address nutrient deficiencies your dietitian will guide you through safe, evidence-based options. Otherwise, we focus on using everyday foods to help meet your nutrition goals.

What do dietitians do?

Dietitians are regulated health professionals. They translate medical nutrition evidence into practical, real-world strategies that fit your lifestyle and treatment plan.

They will help you to find strategies that can:

  • Manage side effects like nausea, fatigue, taste changes, or appetite changes.
  • Support strength and immune function through food choices.
  • Help to reduce and manage cravings.
  • Build realistic, sustainable habits to support your recovery and long-term health.

Constant Health dietitians also receive ongoing training in behaviour change and nutrition care to ensure you receive current, compassionate, and evidence-based support.

Learn more about registered dietitians here: Dietitians of Canada

Will I receive a meal plan?

No, we don’t provide prescriptive meal plans. Instead, your dietitian will help you build flexible eating routines and menu ideas that work for your needs, taste preferences, and treatment side effects.

We’ve also built a recipe library to help you plan meals that are easy to prepare, nourishing, and enjoyable. Whether cooking for yourself or your family. You can filter recipes by ingredients, time to cook, or energy needs, and even add your own favourite dishes.

Do I need to weigh myself?

That’s entirely up to you.

Weight can be one of several indicators of nutritional status that can be helpful to monitor, but it’s not the only one. We also look at energy, strength, stamina, digestion, and how you feel day to day. Some people prefer not to track weight during treatment or recovery and that’s completely fine.

How much time does the program take?

The time commitment depends on your specific program and needs.

  • Nutrition Preparation for Cancer Treatment: 10 weeks (5 sessions, ~3 hours total RD contact)
  • Active Treatment: 10 weeks (5 sessions, ~3 hours total RD contact)
  • Post-Treatment Weight Management: 15 weeks (8 sessions, ~5 hours total RD contact)

Between sessions, you can choose to track meals, reflect on progress, or connect with Chloe for support. We encourage small, consistent actions rather than large time investments. We appreciate energy and time commitments will likely fluctuate over these months so we aim to be as flexible as possible, finding the smallest changes that will have the greatest impact.

What topics can we cover?

Your sessions are personalized, but some common topics include:

  • Managing nausea, fatigue, taste changes, or low appetite
  • Strategies to maintain or regain weight safely
  • Eating for energy and strength
  • Meal planning and food prep with low energy
  • Digestive symptoms and hydration support
  • Emotional eating 
  • Building confidence with food after treatment
  • Managing blood sugar changes
  • Understanding supplements
  • Adjusting to post-treatment hunger and metabolism changes

Your needs may change throughout the program, and we’ll adjust together. If there is anything you would like to discuss let your dietitian know and they will prioritize the topics that are important to you.

Can I continue after my initial program ends?

Yes! Many clients choose to continue care through our maintenance programs. These options help you sustain momentum, reinforce habits, and continue building confidence over time, with as much or as little support as you need.

Why do you recommend food tracking?

Food tracking can be a valuable tool during and after treatment, helping you identify patterns in appetite, digestion, and symptom triggers. Food tracking can also help us to better understand your body’s energy needs at different phases of treatment and recovery. 

We have tried to make tracking as simple and easy as possible offering options such as photo or voice logging and scanning barcodes.

How does Chloe (AI support) help me?

Chloe extends your care beyond appointments by offering:

  • 24/7 support with personalized, evidence-informed feedback
  • Trend analysis across appetite, mood, digestion, and energy
  • Clinical insights to flag key changes to both you and your RD.

Chloe’s feedback evolves as you progress through your sessions with the dietitian helping you reflect and identify areas that may be helpful to focus on.

What if my symptoms or needs change during the program?

Appetite, digestion, and energy can fluctuate during and after treatment. Your program is flexible and your RD will support you in adjusting your approach as your needs change.

What if my eating habits are driven by my emotions?

That’s completely understandable, and you’re not alone. Changes in appetite, weight, cravings, and food-related anxiety are common. Our dietitians are trained to help you navigate these cravings and emotional eating with compassion and build a sense of control and confidence again.
