Does this sound familiar?

"I believe that eating healthy is important, but since my breast cancer treatment ended I'm struggling because I'm confused and overwhelmed with where to start. I think I have it figured out, then lose my momentum and motivation, even though I know it's critical to take the best care of myself."
"I'm terrified that the food I eat is going to make my breast cancer come back, and I'm trying to figure out what's best (and how!) to eat now that I've finished treatment so that I NEVER have to go through this again."
"I'm confused about what's best to eat and I can't stop thinking that the way I was eating (which I thought was healthy) contributed to (caused?) my breast cancer. I can't even believe this happened to me because I don't have family history of breast cancer; so it must be something I did with my diet (maybe the pizza, the wine, the chocolate?) that caused it."
"Since treatment ended I question everything I eat. I'm constantly asking 'Is this ok, is that ok?' I'm driving myself crazy trying to eat the right things."

I know what it's like. When I had breast cancer even I — an experienced dietitian — needed a little help with my diet.

Meet Cathy

When I finished breast cancer treatment I didn't fall apart around food. I'm an experienced dietitian. I knew the science and had done my research. But I started second-guessing my judgement, wondering if what I was doing with my diet was the right approach, and questioning whether or not my understanding of the research was clouded by my own breast cancer experience.

So I did what I knew would make me feel better. I asked for help. I met an oncology dietitian colleague (and friend!) for tea. She validated that I did know what I was doing, made a few tweaks to my diet, and gave me the clarity I needed. I left our meeting with complete peace of mind.

That experience of having one trusted person cut through the reams of information, assure me I knew my "stuff", and patiently address my diet concerns and answer my questions was invaluable.

I believe that every woman who's experienced breast cancer deserves to eat with clarity and peace of mind.

I also know that not every woman has the option I did, that of reaching out to a trusted breast cancer nutrition expert for help.

Until now.

I've made it my mission to be that trusted guide who helps breast cancer survivors eat without worry and enjoy their food again.

I share this because:

  1. I understand exactly where you are and what you're experiencing
  2. I can teach you exactly what it takes to eat with peace and enjoy your food again

I can't wait to share with you how I do that!

"I don't just understand the nutrition science. I understand why you can't stop worrying about what you eat, even though you've read all the after-breast cancer nutrition books and blogs and followed all the free online diet advice. I've spent my career helping women make peace with food and use nutrition to support their health and well-being, and my own breast cancer experience underscored how important it is that EVERY survivor who wants that, gets that."

What you need to know now

The pizza didn't cause your cancer. The wine didn't cause your cancer. The chocolate didn't cause your cancer.

Here's what else I want you to know; fear, guilt, stress and hypervigilance around food aren't doing anything to support your health or improve your quality of life.

You stop turning down invitations to dine out with friends, and guilt over enjoying that glass of wine is a thing of the past.

Opening your pantry and fridge doesn't scare you, and the constant chatter in your head over "what to eat and what to avoid" goes quiet.

What Peaceful Plate Members Say

"There were foods I was literally afraid to eat, and if I did eat them, it made me feel guilty and scared. It was awful. Now I can truly enjoy all foods. It's also made eating outside of my home SO much easier; that had been a very big source of stress for me. Your educational modules and master class were essential in shifting my mindset to a much more practical nutrition approach. This wealth of information backed by science, coming from a survivor who is an expert in her field made all the difference for me! The Peaceful Plate has brought back my joy of eating."

— Rebecca | California

"If I had a glass of wine I'd struggle with conflicting thoughts; I want wine, but I shouldn't have it. If I have wine, I've failed. Cathy helped me unravel, dissect and reassemble the conversations in my head. Did I achieve my goals? Yes, and a lot more."

— Sheri | Arizona

"Working with you has given me calm confidence, freedom from second-guessing, verification that I'm capable of navigating this post-treatment life. Thank you, Cathy."

— Marnie | North Carolina

"I limited myself to very few food choices and was trying to eat perfectly everyday. I viewed food as either 'good food' or 'bad food'. After the very first session, I began to view food differently. There are so many different opinions regarding what to eat after having breast cancer that it becomes confusing, frustrating, and discouraging. Cathy offers insight with her vast knowledge of nutrition and experience on how to incorporate healthy eating into your daily life. She provides a nutritional, science-based roadmap of how to eat with peace after breast cancer."

— Claudia | California

"The amount of stress I was feeling regarding food drove me to find this program. I didn't know where to turn, what to do, and I wasn't sleeping well. I needed help. Your program could not have come at a better time; it was an answer to my prayer, and within the first 2-3 weeks of reading the information and being on the coaching calls, I thought, 'I'm gonna be okay.' The information has helped calm the stress I created for myself, I'm approaching food with a lot less anxiety, and I'm not worrying that every single thing I put in my mouth is going to cause my cancer to come back. Your program has been tremendously helpful and informative, and has made a huge difference in my outlook on my health and diet; it's helpful to have the big picture rather than me trying to put all the information together. Your program helped me in more ways than I had originally hoped for. It was a perfect fit for what I needed, and I'm grateful to you for offering this service!"

— Amy | Utah

"I was fresh out of treatment and knew I needed a plan to reduce my anxiety. I was a research junky, but there's so much information I was getting lost as to where I should start and how to implement a plan. Other nutritional approaches were so overwhelming...I didn't know where to start. I was able to identify foods that I was most anxious about and talk through how to manage that anxiety and move forward with confidence. I had no idea that I had mental roadblocks about certain foods that I considered 'off limits' from when I was on previous diets! Peaceful Plate is a program that will help you identify and manage your food fears. Cathy has done all the research for you and has a wealth of knowledge on all things nutrition!"

— Meg | Michigan

"Before joining The Peaceful Plate I lacked confidence with my diet. I had anxiety surrounding my food choices and whether I was eating the right things. Your program gave me so much knowledge about food and nutrition and with that knowledge, I gained confidence about my diet. You have such a practical, healthy mindset when it comes to food and living life as a breast cancer survivor. You also set a good example for the rest of us for how to eat healthy and make exercise a priority. I no longer freak out if I can't eat 'perfectly' at every meal. I know that it's my overall dietary pattern that matters most."

— Mary Jo | Iowa

"You don't know where to turn because you're scared! I didn't have confidence to do it on my own because I was afraid I'd fail; if I didn't want to fail, I just wouldn't do it at all. It's been a wonderful experience, working with you. I'm so glad I didn't pass this by, because you are teaching me so much more about nutrition and what my body needs."

— Sue | Illinois

"I was just confused on what foods I should eat after having breast cancer. The information I got from the hospital was useless. It advised me to follow a Mediterranean diet and avoid food with phytoestrogens! I was doing a lot of Google searches which confused me even more because the information was contradictory. I was cutting out vital foods which I needed to eat not only for good breast health, but also to maintain a healthy menopause. After completing The Peaceful Plate I have more energy, feel healthier and am generally glowing with life. Working with Cathy has been a complete delight. She is a true professional with a wealth of experience which has given me the tools I need to continue thriving. Best decision I made post-breast cancer treatment. Don't hesitate to join the program, do it!"

— Tracy | UK

A note on the investment

I know that for some women, breast cancer brings an unexpected negative financial impact. I also know breast cancer leaves women feeling vulnerable and open to purchasing anything that promises they'll never have to go through cancer again.

With that in mind, there's a strong possibility you may be spending money on countless unproven approaches to help reduce your recurrence risk, from supplements to alternative therapies to detox programs or cleanses, while you continue to worry about every meal.

And let's not overlook the fact that you're unaccustomed to spending money on yourself versus members of your family; doing so can feel downright selfish. But I'd like to offer that joining The Peaceful Plate™ and investing in your self-care now, after all you've been through, isn't selfish… it's the missing piece to you moving forward with food confidence after the uncertainty of treatment.

The Peaceful Plate™ introductory rate of $897 is the lowest this program will ever be offered. Payment plans are available to help you make eating with peace a reality today, not years from now. Women who've been through my Peaceful Plate™ program consistently say it was the most valuable investment they made post-treatment, and I think you'll feel the same! ~ Cathy

One more thing. $25 from every enrollment is donated to The Cancer Couch Foundation and The Pink Fund. When you invest in your own nutritional health and well-being, you're also giving back to the broader breast cancer community.

But wait, I have more for you!

The Peaceful Plate is not for you if…

You want private, 1:1 nutrition coaching

You're not prepared to invest 1–3 hours/week in yourself and your post-treatment nutritional health

You're newly diagnosed or currently in active treatment (surgery, chemo and/or radiation)

You're looking for customized meal plans, a "done-for-you" diet, or a just-tell-me-what-to-eat approach

You're not interested in learning about the mindset influence on and connection to your post-treatment diet

The Peaceful Plate is right for you if…

You've completed active breast cancer treatment and food has become a source of worry, confusion or fear rather than nourishment and joy.

You're tired of researching, second-guessing and cobbling together nutrition information from sources you're not sure you trust.

You want evidence-based, science-backed guidance from someone who truly understands your post-treatment nutrition challenge and who has lived it herself.

You're ready to explore not just what to eat, but the mindset shifts that make eating with peace actually possible.

You want a realistic, sustainable approach to food that fits into your real life, not an extreme protocol or a rigid meal plan.

You're willing to invest 1 to 3 hours per week in yourself and your post-treatment nutritional health.

You're ready to stop letting food worry run your life.

Will you continue to white-knuckle your way through every meal and snack… or start enjoying your food and living your life fully?

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this right for me if I finished treatment a while ago, not just recently?

Absolutely. Food worry and the loss of trust in your own judgment about food don't have an expiration date. Whether you finished treatment six months ago or six years ago, if you recognized your food concerns outlined here, The Peaceful Plate™ is right for you.

I'm still in treatment. Can I join?

The Peaceful Plate™ is designed specifically for women who've completed active treatment. If you're currently in treatment, I hear you; the food confusion and worry are just as real right now. Please join the waitlist and reach out to me directly here; cathy@cathyleman.com . I want to make sure you have the right support for where you are.

What if I can't make the live monthly call?

Every call is recorded and uploaded so you can watch the replay in your own time. You won't miss anything, and the take-aways and ah-ha moments from the replay can be just as powerful as being there live.

I've already met with a dietitian. Is this different?

Almost certainly. While I love that you've worked with a true food pro, many women tell me they were unable to go deep on the particulars of post-treatment nutrition with their dietitian. That makes sense; dietitians at your cancer center are doing their best, but they're stretched thin! For that reason, survivorship nutrition may take a backseat to active treatment nutrition, and can sometimes be extremely general. The Peaceful Plate™ not only helps you make sense of and understand the in-depth nutrition information you need to eat with peace, it also addresses the mindset required to move forward with food confidence!

How much time does this actually take each week?

One to three hours per week. Modules are self-paced, to the point and free of "word fluff", and created to fit around your schedule. Most members find their time investment is far smaller than the time they currently spend researching, reading and second-guessing (on repeat!) their food.

How do I access the monthly group coaching call?

The monthly group coaching call is available via HIPAA-compliant Zoom link.

How is The Peaceful Plate different from the survivor nutrition program at my cancer center?

Cancer center nutrition programs for survivors can be a great resource, but they tend to offer general nutrition information that's not targeted specifically to breast cancer survivors. You may also attend with survivors of other types of cancer, which can be great for support in the shared experience of cancer, but lacking in the camaraderie you'd get being with only breast cancer survivors. Also, classes may be available at limited times rather than when you're ready to address your nutrition concerns.

Is this medical advice or medical nutrition therapy?

The Peaceful Plate™ is an educational coaching program. While I am a registered dietitian, my role here is as your coach and educator, not your dietitian. This program does not constitute medical nutrition therapy or create a dietitian-patient relationship. Please continue working with your medical team for clinical nutrition care.

Can I use my HSA (health savings account) as payment for The Peaceful Plate?

I can't say for certain. It's possible, but you'll need to check your individual plan to determine whether or not that option is available to you.

What happens upon acceptance of my application?

You'll choose your payment option; paid-in-full or payment plan, and provide payment. Next, you'll receive a welcome email from me containing all of the onboarding information you need, as well as the required forms necessary to officially join and access the program on our "go live" date of April 27, 2026. If during the onboarding process (seven days prior to program live date) you have a question or tech challenge, you'll reach out for help to me directly at cathy@cathyleman.com for a response within 24 hours, 9 am–4 pm CST.

What happens after the 8 weeks?

You leave the program feeling confident in your ability to navigate your post-treatment nutrition, eating with peace and truly enjoying your food again! That said, if you'd like to do another round to continue benefitting from the private group camaraderie and "chat with Cathy" support, you'll have the opportunity to join the next group at a discounted rate.
