Food your family actually cooks
Dal, roti, rice, regional cooking, festival food and the way a joint family eats together. Your plan is built from that, not from a diet sheet you would have to translate first.

“What should I eat?” should not be the hardest question of your week
A cancer diagnosis changes everything. Suddenly a question as simple as what to put on a plate can feel impossible to answer. Advice arrives from every direction, and most of it does not account for you, your culture, your family, your budget or what you are actually going through.
At DietXP, oncology nutrition care is about more than food. It is about helping you feel supported, understood and cared for at every stage of your journey.
Starting nutrition support early can help your body prepare for surgery and treatment, reduce the impact of side effects, support recovery and improve quality of life. Your care plan is personal, practical and designed to evolve with you.
Who we built this for
Your cancer care is in Australia. Your kitchen is still Indian.
Most cancer nutrition advice you will be handed in Australia is written around a Western plate. When appetite has already gone and nothing tastes the way it should, being told to eat food your family does not cook is not practical advice. It is one more thing to fail at.
Alongside your Australian team
Your oncologist, surgeon and nurses stay in charge of your treatment. We take the nutrition side and work around what they have already planned for you.
Booked around your day
Consultations are online and scheduled at a time that works where you live, so nobody is taking a call at 2am between treatment cycles.
DietXP is based in India and your dietitian consults from there. That is deliberate: it is what makes the food knowledge specific rather than generic. See how this works alongside Australian care.
Where are you right now?
Nine stages is a lot to read when you are exhausted. Pick the one closest to your situation and we will take you to it.
Care through every stage
The same dietitian, the same plan, adjusted as your treatment moves. You do not restart with someone new at each phase.
Phase 1
Before treatment begins
The window where nutrition has the most room to help, and the one most often missed.
Nutrition assessment at diagnosis
We understand where you are starting from, identify nutrition risks early and build a plan that fits your life right now.
Prehabilitation before treatment
We help you build strength before chemotherapy, radiation or surgery so you are better equipped for what is ahead.
Nutrition optimisation before surgery
Targeted nutrition support in the weeks before surgery can support healing, reduce complications and help recovery.
Phase 2
During active treatment
When needs change week to week and yesterday's plan may not work today.
Support during chemotherapy and radiation
Your nutrition plan adapts through active treatment as your needs change from week to week.
Managing symptoms and side effects
Practical, realistic strategies for the symptoms that make eating hard, built around what you can actually manage.
Home enteral nutrition and tube feeding
Clear, compassionate support for patients and families navigating tube feeding at home, with guidance at every step.
Symptoms we plan around
- Nausea
- Appetite loss
- Mouth sores
- Fatigue
- Weight changes
- Digestive issues
Phase 3
After treatment
Treatment ending is not the same as being back to normal, and nutrition support does not stop here.
Post-cancer rehabilitation
Nutrition support continues after treatment, with a focus on rebuilding strength, restoring energy and supporting long-term recovery.
When care focuses on comfort
Support that stays gentle
If you are reading this section for someone you love, take your time. Nothing here needs deciding today.
Palliative care nutrition
When care focuses on comfort and quality of life, nutrition shifts with it. Support is gentle, flexible and led by what matters most to you and your family.
End-of-life care
Compassionate guidance for patients and families navigating difficult decisions around food and feeding, with honesty, sensitivity and care.
If this is where you are, you can reach us on WhatsApp or through your treating team. There is no pressure to book anything to ask a question.
Your peace of mind
Your personal digital care plan
A comprehensive, easy-to-access digital plan that is updated as your treatment and needs evolve, without the clutter of paper records. It opens on a phone, so it is with you at appointments and in the kitchen.
Priority WhatsApp support
You and your caregivers have direct priority access for timely guidance, reassurance and practical adjustments between consultations. For nutrition questions, not emergencies.

How you are matched
You are matched with the dietitian your case needs
Cancer nutrition is not one specialty. Someone on a feeding tube after head and neck surgery, a child going through paediatric oncology and someone rebuilding strength a year after treatment all need different clinical experience. So you are not handed whoever happens to be free. We look at your diagnosis, your treatment stage and what you are actually dealing with, then match you to the dietitian on our team best placed to handle it.
Matched to your case
Your diagnosis, treatment stage, symptoms and whether feeding support is involved all decide who you work with.
Oncology, not general nutrition
The match is made from our clinical dietitians with hospital oncology and medical nutrition therapy experience.
The same dietitian throughout
Once matched, you stay with them for your whole support window. You do not restart with someone new at each phase.
Hospital backgrounds across our clinical team include Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital (Mumbai), Kasturba Hospital at MAHE Manipal, CMCH Ludhiana and Jigme Dorji Wangchuk National Referral Hospital (Bhutan), spanning oncology, paediatric oncology, enteral and parenteral nutrition and medical nutrition therapy.
