Meagan Atcheson
BSc (Wits majoring in physiology and psychology), B. Med Sci (Hons) (UCT)
Clinical Dietitian | Oncology & Functional Nutrition
Practice Number: 0735361
Meagan is a clinical dietitian specialising in oncology nutrition, with a background in hospital and medical nutrition therapy. After years working in clinical medicine, she recognised the gaps in conventional care the lack of personalised, whole-person support during treatment, recovery, and beyond.
She founded OncoWell Clinical Nutrition to bring a more integrated, compassionate, and functional approach to patient care. Her style is warm, gentle, and deeply evidence based, empowering clients to understand their bodies, their symptoms, and the connection between lifestyle, nutrition, and overall health.
Driven by the belief that wellness is a journey, not a quick fix, Meagan guides each client with empathy and science-backed strategies designed for real life not restriction.

Our Approach
Functional Medicine Philosophy
True wellness requires understanding the whole person. Rather than masking symptoms, our approach focuses on uncovering root causes and creating sustainable strategies that support long-term vitality.
Functional medicine fills the gaps left by conventional care, connecting lifestyle, environment, nutrition, and clinical findings to build a clearer picture of your health.
No two people are alike and neither are their nutritional needs. Your plan is tailored to your biology, your symptoms, your preferences, and your life.
We prioritise long-term solutions, not quick fixes. Our goal is to help you build habits and skills that support lasting wellness for years to come.
Referrals and Multidisciplinary Care
We work closely with oncologists, surgeons, physicians, and allied health professionals within our multidisciplinary oncology centre to ensure collaborative, cohesive care.
Clinician referrals are welcomed for oncology patients, complex medical cases, or those requiring body composition monitoring.
