Meet Meg!
Meg Hughey is a Certified Nutrition Specialist, Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist, and Oncology Registered Nurse focusing on the intersection of cancer and nutrition. She completed her Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing at the University of Maryland School of Nursing and her Master of Science in Human Clinical Nutrition at Maryland University of Integrative Health.
Meg’s experience as an Oncology Nurse sparked her pursuit to bridge the gap between conventional oncology treatments and complementary cancer therapies, such as nutrition. As an Integrative Clinical Nutrition Nurse, Meg collaborates with clients and their cancer support teams to improve quality of life and highlight the beneficial role nutrients and whole foods provide to those experiencing cancer.
Under the guidance of Dr. Frederick P. Smith, MD, Meg became an expert in administering chemotherapeutic and immunologic agents to cancer patients. During this time, she discovered the growing need of high-level personalized nutrition therapy for those with cancer.
With this newfound realization and her husband’s shocking cancer diagnosis, Meg was determined to offer nutritional support and fill this gap by pursuing an advanced degree in nutrition and integrative health. While obtaining her Master’s degree, she also worked at Capital Integrative Health providing IV Nutrition Therapy, such as high dose intravenous vitamin C, to those experiencing cancer.
Meg continues to advocate for those experiencing cancer and tirelessly works to spread awareness of the deep care, nourishment, and healing that may be found through complementary and integrative nutrition support.
MLH NUTRITION
What is integrative & complementary nutrition?
Integrative nutrition counseling empowers you to be at the center of your care.
Integrative nutrition focuses on the power of whole foods to balance the body’s biochemistry and to restore health and wellbeing. This personalized approach encompasses the unique physiological, environmental, and psychosocial aspects of each person. At its core, integrative nutrition counselors believe that you know your body best and will provide individualized nutritional support and educational resources to reach your health goals. With an integrative lens, nutrition counselors will help prioritize your needs and work with you to set realistic nutritional and lifestyle goals for any illness. The integrative nutrition mission is to equip you with the knowledge, tools, resources, and awareness to sustain a healthy lifestyle and maintain resilience to disease long after appointments have completed.
Complementary nutrition is offered in conjunction with other treatments such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation, and surgery. MLH Nutrition will help to coordinate your care among all the practitioners of your cancer support team.
Let’s meet wherever you are on your healing journey!

Client Experiences
“Working with Meg has been extremely supportive, more than any other modality or practitioner I've worked with over the last decade. She helped me make small changes to my food intake to feel better and be healthier. By implementing the suggestions each month, I noticed immediate benefits: more energy and less digestive discomfort. I highly recommend signing on as her client!”
