Links to publications I have written/co-authored:

• “There is growing evidence for the effectiveness of Mind-Body Therapies for addressing a myriad of physical (e.g., pain) and psychosocial (e.g., depression, fatigue) symptoms and biomarkers of stress and immune function in people with cancer”: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36753025/

• “Many cancer survivors experience chronic, moderate to severe GI symptoms lasting for years after cancer treatment, which are associated with worse mental and physical health. Chemotherapy is associated with specific GI symptoms. Integrative therapies are needed to address GI symptoms in cancer survivors”: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36583068/

• “Probiotic intervention may improve some GI symptoms in cancer patients, and QOL in survivors. Controlled trials that consistently include GI and psychosocial health outcomes are needed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34844479/

• “[We] provide evidence for associations between antibiotic use, probiotic use, dietary health behaviors, and GI symptoms. Diet and exercise behaviors are related to certain types of bacteria, but the direction of causality is unknown. Dietary-based interventions may be optimally suited to address survivors' GI symptoms by influencing the gut microbiota”: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38517129/

• “Patient advocates play a crucial role in integrative oncology research and program implementation”: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36763611/

• “This small exploratory study demonstrates potential long-term gut microbial dysbiosis in cancer survivors, which may be associated with psychosocial symptoms”: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35621633/

• “Through its work to foster collaboration and amplify patient priorities on a national scale, AYA Can has become a leading voice for AYA cancer advocacy in Canada”: https://www.mdpi.com/1718-7729/31/5/193
