O N C O L O G I CAL NUT RIT IONIST
Linda M. Jensen
Certified Cancer Support
& Nutritional Educator
Healing Arts Practitioner
Linda Jensen brings a deepseated, passionate motivation
to her profession as a fully
certified Cancer Support &
Nutritional Educator Health
Coach, and Healing Arts Practitioner. The diagnosis of
her 33-year old husband to a very rare form of cancer,
propelled her down a path of learning about pH-balance
nutrition and holistic treatment, which she used to
compliment the traditional medical therapy he received.
Following his passing, years of self-study in nutrition
and the holistic approach led her to becoming a
Certified Wellness Consultant and Health Coach in
2000. Then, in 2004, caught up in the stresses of life,
having left her own wellness on the back burner, she
found herself facing a Stage-3 diagnosis of breast
cancer. This aggressive malignancy would require
surgery, chemo- and radiation therapy, and a strong will
to survive. She knew it was time to learn more about
integrative health, nourishing the body, spirit and mind,
to heal and treat herself - simply to survive.
Linda specializes in the alkaline/acidic effects on the
body (pH balance nutrition and trophology - food
combining), truly defining 'healthy' eating, all the more
crucial for those having been diagnosed with cancer.
Her practice incorporates Integrative Lifestyle
Counseling, and the Healing Arts techniques of Jin Shin
Jyutsu, Healing Touch, and Raindrop, all driven by the
notion that optimal health is achieved by bringing
balance and harmony to mind, body and spirit. She is
presently studying the effects of sound therapy at a
cellular level with the use of tuning forks. Her practice
includes offering nutritional seminars for healthcare
professionals; involvement in initiatives to bring
healthy eating to local communities; an association with
Frost Valley in Claryville, NY where she participates in
the Survivors Program in conjunction with the YMCA
and Livestrong Foundation; she consults before, during
and after treatment, by appointment, in Red Bank, and
is available for on-site sessions to ensure the proper
protocol in the home.
At Mary’s Place by the Sea, Linda is a frequent
volunteer and sought-after expert in both of her fields.
Attributing her own state of good health to having
managed to “survolve” (survive and evolve) every day,
she coaches each guest on an individual basis, sharing
her vast knowledge depending on the specific
diagnosis. Her passionate commitment rings loud and
clear: “Often referred to as the ‘Cliff Notes of
Nutrition’, my role is to guide and support our guests to
be self-sufficient once they leave. Critical to this point,
I provide a valuable network of professional resources
in the alternative, holistic and medical communities,
and make every attempt to reduce ‘information
overload.’ In addition to touch treatments, I am able to
offer ‘self-help’ instruction specific to everyday need,
with the goal of preventing recurrence: just as I am,
and will determinedly remain, cancer-free, thanks to
these practices and choices, for our guests, I help them
to set the 'stepping stones' to a healthy, positive lifestyle
change.”
Born and raised in New York, NY, Ms. Jensen raised
her daughter and two sons in Monmouth County, NJ,
where she has lived for over twenty years; she currently
resides in Rumson.
Ms. Jensen is the author of “Survolve” A guide to Nutritional
Alkalinity and holds the following certifications:

ONCOLOGICAL NUTRITION
BREAKFAST…From A to Z, well, at least up to Q…
AVOCADO AND EGG
Serves 2
1 Avocado, organic….do not peel, slice lengthwise, remove pit
1 tsp lemon juice, optional
2 organic eggs
Fill pan with ½ in. water. On low heat, place sliced avocado in pan, drizzle with
lemon juice, if desired. Crack and add egg. Cover to ”steam” unitl soft boiled.
Remove from pan. Top with extra virgin olive oil
Avocado, cubed, raw
1 cup, 240 cal.
Glycemic Index….very low
The ability of avocado to help prevent unwanted inflammation is absolutely
unquestionable in the world of health research. Cancer risk factors almost always
include excessive inflammation (related to lack of anti-inflammatory nutrients) and
oxidative stress (related to lack of antioxidants).
In cancer cells, avocado works to increase oxidative stress and shift the cancer cells
over into a programmed cell death cycle (apoptosis), lessening the cancer cell
numbers.
The avocado appears to selectively push cancer cells "over the brink" by increasing
oxidative stress, which in turn, increases the cancer cells likelihood of dying. At the
same time, it is actively supporting the health of non-cancerous cells by increasing their
supply of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrients.
Lest not to forget the egg, soft boil or poach will maintain the benefits of soy lecithin, a nutrient
found in the yolk as well as protein needed to get your daily metabolism in gear. Only when
oxidized does it become a cholesterol.
Avocados and Latex Allergy and why its ok to steam the avocado….Like bananas and chestnuts, avocados
contain enzymes called chitinases that are associated with latex-fruit allergy syndrome. There is strong
evidence of the cross-reaction between latex and foods that naturally contain high amounts of chitinase
enzymes. If you have a latex allergy, you may very likely be allergic to these foods as well. Processing the fruit
with ethylene gas increases these enzymes; organic produce not treated with gas will have fewer allergycausing compounds. In addition, cooking the food may deactivate the enzymes.

Providing a place for women with cancer to heal: mind, body and soul
F o r m o r e i n f o r m a t i o n c o n t a c t M e l a n i e a t 6 4 6 -­‐ 4 9 6 -­‐ 8 4 5 8 o r M e l a n i e @ K n o b e l w o m a n . c o m A young girl was walking along a beach upon which thousands of starfish had been
washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up,
and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with amusement.
She had been doing this for some time when a man approached her and said, “Little girl,
why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin
to make a difference!”
The girl seemed crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few moments, she bent down,
picked up another starfish, and hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked
up at the man and replied, “Well, I made a difference to that one!”
The old man looked at the girl inquisitively and thought about what she had done and
said. Inspired, he joined the little girl in throwing starfish back into the sea. Soon others
joined, and all the starfish were saved.
