Savor Health

By Courtney May, Dietetic Intern

Roasted vegetables in a dish

The Mediterranean Diet is rich in olive oil, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and has been linked to reduced rates of cardiovascular disease and cancer due to its high content of antioxidants, fiber and other beneficial nutrients [i]. Take advantage of seasonal summer produce with this versatile and easy-to-build dish that can be either a main or side.  If consumed as the main dish, consider serving it over fiber-rich farro or whole grain pasta and add your favorite marinara sauce, if it suits you. Make it Greek by layering some of this dish with Greek yogurt in a whole grain pita pocket. If serving as a side, reduce the portion slightly, and serve alongside a lean protein like baked fish or chicken. This dish can also be assembled raw and stored in the refrigerator 24-48 hours prior to cooking.  Leftovers are just as good served cold for when it’s too hot to turn on the stove.

Ingredient Highlights

Eggplant, Red Pepper, Tomato: These vegetables are rich in antioxidants and insoluble fiber.  Tomato and red pepper are particularly high in the carotenoid lycopene which has protective benefits against cardiovascular disease and various cancers such as prostate, esophageal, stomach, colon, and more. Pro tip: cooking foods with lycopene actually increases their bioavailability, or the amount digested upon consumption[ii].  Although not quite as rich, eggplant does contain some lycopene as well. These vegetables also are rich in insoluble fiber, which promotes prebiotic activity in the colon and also will make you feel fuller longer to help with weight management[iii]

Extra-Virgin Olive Oil: Olive oil is high in antioxidants known as polyphenols. These have a protective effect against cellular damage therefore reducing cancer cell growth. Olive oil is rich in vitamins C and E which prevent the degeneration of cellular DNA. Olive oil is high in unsaturated (healthy) fat. Substituting healthy fats for unhealthy fats (saturated fat) can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease [i].

Farro: Farro is a whole grain rich in soluble fiber. In the colon, these fibers are digested into short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) which have been shown to decrease tumor cell growth, inhibit the circulation of potentially harmful and carcinogenic bile acids. Fiber also increases fecal bulk, reducing interaction time between carcinogens and the lining of the colon, which is one reason high fiber diets can decrease risk for colon cancer[iv]

Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 large or 2 small purple eggplant (about 1.5 pounds), sliced into 1/2 inch-thick rounds
  • 2-3 red, yellow, or orange bell peppers, seeds and white portions removed, sliced into 2 inch pieces
  • 1.5 pints cherry tomatoes, halved or substitute for 1.5 pounds chopped tomatoes of your choice
  • 1 medium purple onion, thinly sliced into whole rounds
  • 1 small bunch of basil
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
  • 2 cups pearled farro
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Grated parmesan cheese, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Wash and cut eggplant.  If time permits: lightly salt the eggplant and layer in a colander and let sit while other ingredients are prepared or pat dry to remove excess water.
  3. Wash and cut your choice of pepper, halve the tomato, then peel and slice red onion. Set aside.
  4. Using a 9 x 12 baking dish, layer eggplant at the bottom of the dish and drizzle the extra virgin olive oil. Then, layer peppers over, drizzling again with the oil and salt to taste.
  5. Next, layer tomato with oil, followed by sliced red onion on top. Finish with more oil and salt and pepper to taste. Bury some basil underneath the sliced onion. 
  6. Bake the dish for approximately 45-50 minutes or until the eggplant is tender and soft.  
  7. Prepare the farro. While the vegetables are cooking, rinse farro and bring 4-5 cups of lightly salted water to a boil. Add farro to the boiling water and cover.  Let cook in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then reduce heat to low and cover for 15-20 minutes or until the farro has absorbed most of the liquid. When it’s tender and chewy, remove from heat and drain excess water.  
  8. Serve a square of the main dish over cooked farro along with other desired vegetables, legumes or greens. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, mozzarella, or more olive oil to taste.

Susan started Savor Health after losing a close friend to a brain tumor and, through that experience, becoming aware of the significant unmet nutritional needs of people with cancer.  Struck by the fact that her friend was told “nutrition doesn’t matter” and “eat whatever you want,” Susan read the evidence-based literature on the subject, interviewed oncologists, oncology nurses and oncology dietitians, as well as patients and caregivers, and found that, in fact, nutrition does matter in oncology. Armed with solid scientific evidence supporting the clinical and quality of life benefits of proper nutrition, Susan left Wall Street and created Savor Health, an AI-based provider of personalized and clinically appropriate nutrition solutions for cancer patients, their caregivers and health enterprises. Susan brings to Savor Health over 25 years of industry experience in healthcare and business as well as expertise in strategy, finance and management.

Susan is an outspoken and tireless advocate for cancer patients receiving proper nutrition and nutrition support before, during and after treatment. She strongly believes that the U. S. healthcare system requires new innovation to transform it into a more holistic and integrated system of care whereby multiple disciplines coordinate care together for the benefit of the whole patient. As part of this, her goal is for nutrition to be an integral component of such an integrated cancer care delivery system.  Susan’s commitment to the field of oncology extends beyond Savor Health to volunteer work at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in pediatrics and as a runner for Fred’s Team to raise money for research at Memorial Sloan Kettering. Susan participated in the Cancer Moonshot in June of 2016 where she was a breakout session group “igniter” tasked with starting and leading discussion. Susan’s first book, the Meals to Heal Cancer Cookbook, was published in March 2016.

In addition to her role as CEO of Savor Health, Susan speaks nationally about the importance of ensuring proper nutrition in the cancer patient and on topics including leadership and startups. She has been a speaker at the Harvard Medical School’s Career Advancement and Leadership Skills for Women in Healthcare, ESMO World Congress on GI Cancer, BioPharm America, AARP Live @50+, Lake Nona Impact Forum, and IIR ePharma Summit.

Prior to starting Savor Health, Susan had a successful career on Wall Street as a healthcare services investment banker working at prestigious firms including Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Wasserstein Perella and Robertson Stephens. Susan earned a B.A. from Duke University and M.B.A. from the University of Virginia’s Darden Graduate School of Business.

Clinically, Dr. Raben has a strong interest in nutritional precision for patients, with an interest in reducing processed foods and sugars in patients with locally advanced cancers, especially ones with high cell turnover. An anti-inflammatory strategy with a Mediterranean dietary approach coupled with reductions in high carbohydrate loading may reduce or slow cancer progression and improve a patient’s intrinsic microbiome to enhance immune response to various therapies including immune enabling drugs like checkpoint inhibitors that have shown dramatic success recently in advanced cancers. From a research perspective, his focus has been on laboratory discoveries and innovative clinical trials in areas such as high risk, heavy smoker HNC patients and has explored approaches that inhibit cancer DNA repair or growth factor signaling. Dr. Raben recently completed the first Phase I clinical trial in the US with and oral DNA repair inhibitor (PARP inhibitor) and radiation for heavy smokers when combined with intensity modulated radiation (IMRT). His efforts currently center around evaluation of TGFb inhibition in HNSCC as well as the use of radiation to stimulate activity of immune enabling drugs. Nationally, Dr. Raben serves on the NRG Oncology head and neck steering committee as well as co-chairing the Developmental Therapeutics Co-Chair at the NRG. He actively serves as an ASCO Ambassador for Multidisciplinary Cancer Management Courses (MCMC) to help educate underserved areas around the world in cancer care.
