Jane Clarke: Nutrition, cancer & eating for joy

On this week's episode of What's Next, Nina sits down with Jane Clarke. Jane Clarke is both a dietician and Cordon Bleu chef with more than 30 years of experience treating patients and working alongside doctors to give expert support to those facing illnesses such as cancer, dementia, degenerative illnesses and mental health conditions. The author of nine best-selling books, Jane also worked with Jamie Oliver on his school meals revolution and has been a personal dietitian and nutritionist for athletes including David Beckham. Nina and Jane cover a range of topics related to nutrition and health, particularly for those affected by cancer. They explore how to approach food when you have no appetite, including nourishing meal ideas and strategies for eating well on a budget, as so many people are when living with cancer. They discuss gut health, the impact of cancer on metabolic rate, and debunk common food misinformation, such as whether sugar feeds cancer. The episode also tackles issues like acid reflux, processed foods, fasting science, and managing weight changes during cancer treatment. Additionally, they touch on body confidence, food shame and the importance of eating for joy and quality of life, as well as simple exercises for when you're feeling unwell.

Professor Tobias Arkenau: Navigating chemo and building trust with your oncologist

This week, What's Next host Nina Lopes welcomes Professor Tobias Arkenau, a highly-respected Consultant Medical Oncologist. Tobi specialises in the treatment of a number of cancers including gastrointestinal cancer and skin cancer as well as cancers of the liver, pancreas and bowel. Working at centres of excellence across London, he is known for his contributions to drug development and immunotherapy. Having led a number of clinical trials involving new anti-cancer treatments like immunotherapy and cellular therapy, Tobi has helped people like Nina find treatments which can extend their lives. As many cancer patients can attest, it is often challenging to feel fully in control of conversations with oncologists. This makes it an especially valuable opportunity for Nina to sit down with Tobi, where she can ask the questions she has not yet found answers to, as well as those sourced from her online cancer community. Such as... Why am I being offered this treatment over another? Do I have a say? How can I be a more empowered patient? And possibly the most pressing question of all, with one in two of us being diagnosed with cancer, how close are we to finding a cure? Nina asks it all in this unmissable conversation. In this podcast, Nina and Tobi discuss: -The difference between different types of chemotherapy, including preventative chemo, chemo with curative intent and palliative chemo -The reasons why you may need one chemo over another -The positives of chemo -The damage of chemo -Understanding palliative chemo -Changing the palliative chemo narrative -Quality of life on chemo -How to be an empowered patient -Building trust between oncologists and patients -Why patients should ask to be considered for clinical trials -Understanding your biology through genetic testing and molecular profiling -What triple negative cancer is -Hope as a mental strength in treating cancer -Nutrition and cancer -Exercise and cancer -The things that keep Nina going -Mental health and cancer -Coping mechanisms as an oncologist Follow Nina Lopes at <a href="http://instagram.com/frodayss">instagram.com/frodayss</a> <a href="http://tiktok.com/@frodayss">tiktok.com/@frodayss</a> <a href="http://patreon.com/NinaLopes">patreon.com/NinaLopes</a> Follow Cancer Platform at <a href="http://instagram.com/cancerplatform">instagram.com/cancerplatform</a>

Kathy Burke: life, death and laughter

Disclaimer: This episode of What's Next with Nina Lopes addresses mental health, specifically in relation to menopause and suicidal thoughts. Nina welcomes director, writer, performer — and one of the UK's funniest women — Kathy Burke to join her on What's Next this week. It's Kathy's hilarious, sweary podcast, Where There's a Will There’s a Wake, which sees her famous, funny pals planning their own fantasy funeral, that caught Nina's attention. The pair discuss Kathy’s own experiences with death - losing her mother before she was two years old and her own health scares which left her hospitalised, not knowing if she was going to make it. With her trademark wit, Kathy Burke shows how humour can help us get through the hardest times and, together, they discuss how their difficult upbringings helped turn them into masterful problem-solvers. Kathy also shares how she navigated a tumultuous menopause which saw her take two years off work and plunged her into a terrifying depression. Like Nina, Kathy describes having to cope without hormone treatment due to the medication she was taking and reveals the one thing which saved her. Finally, the two bond over a celebration of the simple things in life, something they agree is a practise that continues to serve them well and might just be the answer to a truly content life. In this podcast, Nina and Kathy discuss: -Humour and light in the face of death -Appreciation for the simple things in life -Losing a parent at a young age -Child Bereavement Charity -Humour as a coping mechanism -Unpredictability of ill health -Problem-solving in stressful situations -Natural and cancer treatment-induced menopause -Menopausal depression and suicidal thoughts -Finding comfort in being alone -Financial stability when you’re unwell -Coping tools for times of stress Follow Nina Lopes at <a href="http://instagram.com/frodayss">instagram.com/frodayss</a> <a href="http://tiktok.com/@frodayss">tiktok.com/@frodayss</a> <a href="http://patreon.com/NinaLopes">patreon.com/NinaLopes</a> Follow Kathy Burke's 'Where There's a Will, There's a Wake' podcast <a href="http://instagram.com/deathpod_">instagram.com/deathpod_</a> Listen to Follow Kathy Burke's podcast, 'Where There's a Will, There's a Wake' <a href="http://open.spotify.com/show/0qi0uAsLpJOzn5KtftMcaf">open.spotify.com/show/0qi0uAsLpJOzn5KtftMcaf</a> Follow Cancer Platform at <a href="http://instagram.com/cancerplatform">instagram.com/cancerplatform</a>
