Functional Nutrition Consulting

Heather Cooan - Functional Oncology Nutritionist

Meet Heather Cooan

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.

MY 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!

It is intended to support the proper functioning of biological systems as adjunct support to your licensed healthcare provider's treatment plan. Personalized diet, lifestyle, and environmental recommendations aim to optimize well-being but are not a substitute for medical care. Any lab or genetic information used is solely for personalizing diet and lifestyle, not for diagnosing or treating disease. You are required to work with a licensed healthcare provider, including a primary care practitioner and, if you have or have had cancer, a medical oncologist. All recommendations, including supplements and labs, must be approved by your healthcare provider before implementation.
