  • Licensing: DietXP’s experts trained in India and are not licensed, registered or certified as dietitians or nutritionists in any US state. Some states, such as Florida and Illinois, allow only licensed professionals to give individual nutrition care for a diagnosed condition. If you will be in one of these states during sessions, we can offer general food education only, not an individual programme for your condition. Before you book, we ask which state you will be in.
  • Notice for clients in California: State law allows any person to provide nutritional advice or give advice concerning proper nutrition, which is the giving of advice as to the role of food and food ingredients, including dietary supplements. This state law does NOT confer authority to practice medicine or to undertake the diagnosis, prevention, treatment, or cure of any disease, pain, deformity, injury, or physical or mental condition and specifically does not authorize any person other than one who is a licensed health practitioner to state that any product might cure any disease, disorder, or condition.

Cancer care in the US

Cancer care and Indian food in the US

Your oncology team leads your treatment and nutrition plan, and many cancer centers have oncology dietitians. DietXP helps your family turn that plan into Indian meals at home.

Your cancer center team

Ask your oncology team whether a dietitian can see you if eating is hard, you are losing weight or you need a special diet. Bring their advice to us and we will help you apply it to Indian cooking.

Free support in the US

The American Cancer Society helpline, 1-800-227-2345, is open 24 hours a day. The National Cancer Institute’s Cancer Information Service is on 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237), Monday to Friday, 9am to 9pm Eastern time, in English and Spanish.

Indian food during treatment

Soft khichdi, dal, idli, curd rice and light soups often work well when appetite or taste changes. Indian groceries are easy to find in many US cities, and we plan around what you can buy.

Practical details

  • India is 9½ hours ahead of Eastern time and 12½ hours ahead of Pacific time in daylight saving. We book at a time that suits you.
  • Fees are in USD and are the full amount you pay.
  • If you feel very unwell during treatment, call your cancer center’s after-hours line, or 911 in an emergency.

Indian meals, wherever you live

Start with the food you know

You do not need to start with an unfamiliar menu. We discuss the Indian foods you enjoy, grocery options in the US and ways your family can help with meals, within the advice from your treating team.

Follow your treating team's advice on food safety, textures and portions.

During and after treatment

Different stages, different food questions

You do not need to have everything worked out before you get in touch.

When you have just been diagnosed
There may be a lot of advice to take in. We can help you organise your food questions and understand the guidance your cancer-care team has given you.
Before treatment starts
Talk through your usual meals, who can help with cooking and the questions you want to ask your hospital dietitian.
During treatment
Tell us what has become difficult about shopping, cooking or eating. We discuss practical food questions within your team's advice. New or worsening symptoms should be reported to your treating team.
After treatment
Use your follow-up team's advice as the starting point. We can discuss familiar meals and everyday routines as you settle back into life at home.

Getting ready

What to have ready for the first consultation

You do not need to send reports before booking. We tell you how to share them before the consultation. If you are booking for a family member, please have their agreement first.

  • Your treatment plan and visit summaries from your cancer center or patient portal
  • Recent reports, such as blood tests and discharge summaries
  • Current weight, and any weight change in the last few months
  • Medicines, supplements and any feeding plan from the hospital
  • What the patient manages to eat and drink on a usual day

For family and caregivers

Helping someone you care about

You may be cooking for a spouse, helping a parent from abroad, or sharing meals with someone in treatment. With their consent, you can join the discussion and help turn food advice into a manageable routine at home.

  • Bring a note of their usual meals and food preferences.
  • Write down questions they want to ask.
  • Work out who can help with shopping and cooking.
Fathimath Naeema Nasreen, DietXP’s psycho-oncologist

Emotional support

Support for how you feel, not only what you eat

Worry, low mood and fear of the cancer coming back are common, for the person with cancer and for the family caring for them. DietXP’s psycho-oncologist, Fathimath Naeema Nasreen, offers online emotional support sessions from India for adults with cancer and adult family caregivers: a space to talk, information and practical ways to cope.

Naeema is not licensed as a psychologist, counselor, social worker or therapist in any US state. Sessions are not therapy, diagnosis or treatment, and they do not replace care from a licensed professional where you live.

This is the full fee in USD: no booking or service fees are added. Payment goes to DietXP in India, so your bank may add a cross-border fee. Before you book, we confirm the session times, the payment terms and that sessions can go ahead where you live. The fee follows where the person having the sessions lives: for a family member who lives in India, the India fee applies.

Sessions are confidential and separate from your nutrition program; only what you agree to share is passed on. This is not a crisis service. In the US, the American Cancer Society helpline, 1-800-227-2345, is open 24 hours a day, and your cancer center can tell you about counseling where you are treated. If you are in crisis or thinking about suicide, call or text 988 at any time. In an emergency, call 911.

Your questions

Before you get in touch

How much do the programmes cost in the US?
Core (3 months) is USD 360 and Extended (6 months) is USD 685. These are the full prices, with nothing added when you pay.
What does each programme include?
Both start with a first consultation and a written food plan within 2 working days. Core adds 3 scheduled follow-ups and WhatsApp support during agreed hours. Extended adds 6 follow-ups, priority WhatsApp support, a nutrition progress assessment at 90 days, a full progress report at 180 days and a recovery nutrition roadmap where appropriate.
How do I pay?
After we confirm your booking in writing, we send the payment details on WhatsApp or by email. Payment goes to DietXP in India, so your bank may add a cross-border fee.
When will I get my written plan?
Within 2 working days of your first consultation. Your follow-ups, booked on US time, then review how it is going and adjust the plan.
What time are the sessions?
India is 9½ hours ahead of Eastern time and 12½ hours ahead of Pacific time in daylight saving. We book at a time that suits you.
What happens when my programme ends?
You can finish there or ask about continuing. We explain the options and the fee before you book anything new.
Does this replace my oncologist or hospital dietitian?
No. DietXP provides nutrition education and help with everyday food questions. Your local cancer-care team continues to manage treatment, medical nutrition therapy, medicines and feeding prescriptions.
What if I need urgent medical help?
Contact your local treating team or emergency service. Do not wait for a reply from DietXP if you have urgent symptoms. Our enquiries and programmes are not emergency services.
Do I need to send medical reports?
Start with your country and contact details. If reports are needed, we'll explain how to share them privately before your appointment. Please do not send medical reports through a general enquiry form.
Which languages can I use?
Tell us your preferred language when you enquire. We'll confirm available languages and appointment times before you book.

Yes, with the adult patient's consent. A family member or caregiver can help explain usual meals, take notes and support shopping or cooking at home.
Where can I get free cancer information in the US?
Call the American Cancer Society any time on 1-800-227-2345, or the National Cancer Institute on 1-800-4-CANCER. DietXP adds food help planned around Indian meals.
Will my insurance cover DietXP?
No. DietXP is a private online service from India and is not billed to US insurance. Ask your cancer center about seeing an oncology dietitian.
Can I have sessions with DietXP’s psycho-oncologist from the US?
Sessions are online, by video or phone, with Fathimath Naeema Nasreen, who trained and works in India. She is not licensed in any US state, and each state licenses psychologists and counselors for clients located there. The sessions therefore offer emotional support and practical ways to cope with worry, stress and fear during cancer; they are not therapy, diagnosis or treatment. Before you book, we check with you that they can go ahead where you live. If you are in crisis or thinking about suicide, call or text 988 at any time. In an emergency, call 911.
