Heather Cooan - Oncology Nutrition Consultant
food is love • real food is medicine • deeply nourish yourself
Heather Cooan takes a data-driven, bio-individual, systems-based approach rooted in daily habits, personal agency, and empowerment. Her work starts with two foundations: nutrition and nervous system regulation. Because when accumulated stress is running in the background, whether from a diagnosis, a demanding life, old patterns, or experiences the body never fully processed, it reroutes its resources to survival, and even the best plan can't fully do its job. From there, she works across the terrain of mind, body, heart, and soul, helping people take inventory of what's accumulated and remove the obstacles that keep the body from returning to itself.
Heather doesn't teach from the other side of healing, she teaches from inside of it. Her own ongoing journey through vulvar cancer, Hashimoto's, lichen sclerosus, and complex PTSD hasn't just informed her approach; it's given her a willingness to sit with clients in the hard, unglamorous work that real change demands. No polished recovery story. No highlight reel. Just someone who knows what it actually costs to do this work and isn't afraid to walk beside you while you do yours.
Heather is a double board-certified oncology nutrition consultant, deep nourishment practitioner, and lived experience mentor. Through her practice, Soil to Soul Nutrition, she and her team provide one-on-one, bio-individual support for people navigating cancer, autoimmunity, and complex chronic illness, delivering precise, evolving recommendations as each person's needs shift, grounded in ongoing data collection. Heather also hosts the Beyond the Prognosis podcast.
LATEST RECIPES
My functional approach to nutrition is centered around three principles that I believe are universal for all bodies to achieve optimal health:
- Whole Food.
- Proper Preparation.
- Nutrient Density.
Beyond these three principles, each body has a unique combination lock of nutritional requirements. My recipes are centered around these three principles and leave room for personalization.
I love to cook! I develop recipes so you don't have to worry about what to eat. Just follow the recipe!

One day, I can afford to give all my knowledge away for free and educate the world on how to better care for themselves. Until then, these articles are my way of reaching those who cannot afford to engage formally one-on-one. Empower yourself with knowledge!
