I wanted to meal prep some healthy food for me that would also be safe and supportive to add to my dog’s food — who currently has an inoperable mast cell cancerous tumor.

It turns out I already had a lot of great foods & supplements in my kitchen that work amazing for this. I helped support my dad during a few difficult rounds of cancer over 10-11 years. I’m certain if he would have stuck to a more supportive diet, he would have enjoyed life with us even longer… so I continue to feed myself in generally the same manner.

Here is a recipe I came up with, along with the benefits of each ingredient for both humans and a dog with cancer:

WARNING — Do NOT feed this entire batch to your dog. Use it only as a topper (scooped out plain for them before you season yours). It’s especially helpful when mixing in meds or other powders. I made this as a meal prep for me primarily, but one that would also support my sweet Mr. Lou 🐾

Recipe (makes ~4–5 human servings, with plenty left for dog toppers):

• 1 pack ground Wagyu beef

• 1.5 Tbsp organic red palm oil

• 2 Tbsp turmeric powder

• ¼ Tbsp Ceylon cinnamon

• 4 full droppers Animal Essentials Detox Blend

• 4 organic red cabbage leaves, finely chopped

Benefits for humans & dogs with cancer:

Wagyu ground beef – High-quality protein + rich healthy fats for muscle maintenance and energy. For dogs: easy-to-digest complete protein that keeps weight on during treatment.

Organic red palm oil – Loaded with carotenoids (vitamin A), tocotrienols (super vitamin E), and antioxidants. For dogs: supports healthy inflammation response and provides calorie-dense energy without carbs.

Turmeric – Powerful anti-inflammatory curcumin that may help reduce oxidative stress. For dogs: well-studied for supporting comfort and apoptosis in cancer cells when paired with fat.

Ceylon cinnamon – Gentle antioxidant that helps balance blood sugar. For dogs: safe in tiny amounts and supports metabolic health on low-carb cancer diets.

Animal Essentials Detox Blend (burdock, dandelion, milk thistle, red clover, etc.) – Gentle liver & lymphatic support. Milk thistle is a favorite in integrative oncology for protecting the liver during treatments.

Organic red cabbage – One of the best cruciferous veggies; full of sulforaphane that supports liver detox and may inhibit cancer cell growth. For dogs: excellent fiber + anti-cancer compounds when lightly cooked.

For the pups I’m going to put it on top of some organic pumpkin puree — adds gentle fiber, supports digestion, helps with stool firmness, and makes the topper even more palatable and easy on a sensitive tummy.

How I make it:

Heat the red palm oil, brown the Wagyu with a little of the turmeric & cinnamon. Scoop out Mr. Lou’s plain portion early, mix in his micro-dose of spices + the detox drops + chopped cabbage, then serve it on top of some organic pumpkin puree. Season mine however I want (umami blend, extra turmeric, etc.). Cool and portion into the fridge. Use within 3 days or freeze plain beef portions.

This has become our little ritual — nourishing me while giving Mr. Lou extra love in every bite. If your pup is fighting cancer too, always run any new recipe by your oncologist or veterinary nutritionist first ❤️
