About
Two Cancer Survivors. One Mission.
We're on a mission to make specialized oncology nutrition support more accessible, connecting individuals diagnosed with cancer and survivors with experienced Board Certified Specialists in Oncology Nutrition through secure telehealth care.
We’re Making Specialized Oncology Nutrition More Accessible
Nutrition plays a vital role throughout the cancer journey, yet many individuals never receive specialized nutrition support when they need it most. Barriers like limited access, travel, and demanding treatment schedules can make expert care difficult to reach.
Pure Balance Cancer Support was created to change that. Through secure telehealth appointments, we connect individuals diagnosed with cancer and cancer survivors with Board Certified Specialists in Oncology Nutrition (CSOs) who provide personalized, evidence-based care throughout treatment, recovery, and survivorship.
Our vision is simple: Every person diagnosed with cancer should have access to specialized oncology nutrition support—regardless of where they live.
Meet the Founders Behind Pure Balance
Nik Ignjatovic
"A personal connection to cancer became a lifelong mission."
After losing his grandfather to colon cancer and facing his own lymphoma scare, Nik developed a deep interest in understanding cancer and improving patient care.
With a background in theoretical physics and years of experience in nutrition, health coaching, and bloodwork-based wellness programs, he combines analytical thinking with compassionate care to help individuals navigate one of life's most challenging journeys.
Pure Balance brings together his passion for science, nutrition, and making specialized care more accessible.
Certified Holistic Cancer Practitioner (CHCP)
Sawyer Sanchez
"My cancer journey inspired my life's work."
At just 16 years old, Sawyer was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), beginning a journey that included chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant, and years of recovery.
Those experiences shaped his passion for oncology nutrition and ultimately led him to pursue advanced research in nutrition, metabolism, and cancer as a PhD researcher at the University of Utah.
Today, Sawyer is dedicated to helping others receive the specialized nutrition support he knows can make a meaningful difference during treatment and survivorship.
Every person diagnosed with cancer should have access to specialized oncology nutrition support — regardless of where they live.
This is Why We Built Pure Balance.
Although our cancer journeys were different, we arrived at the same realization:
Nutrition questions are common. Access to specialized oncology nutrition support often isn't.
Pure Balance Cancer Support was created to connect individuals diagnosed with cancer and survivors with experienced oncology dietitians through convenient telehealth appointments.
