Dawn Waldron shares her thoughts on food as information and the importance of signalling in the progress of cancer.

Dawn Waldron is Functional Nutritionist who, after dealing with cancer herself, has spent many years supporting women with breast cancer. Dawn is fascinated by the enigma of cancer and its biochemistry, and is always searching for the elusive ‘missing pieces of the puzzle’. Her studies have recently led her to a new understanding of the role of food, not simply as fuel, but as information, and this has prompted her to look at the messages that modern lifestyles have been sending to our cells, and how this could affect those cells’ ability to deal with the challenges of the 21st century.
