This study will test a 12-week remotely delivered dietary counseling intervention based on the MIND diet pattern to determine effects on cancer related cognitive impairment (CRCI), commonly called “chemobrain”, in women with triple negative breast cancer starting systemic treatments. CRCI is an important issue because it affects up to three fourths of breast cancer survivors during chemotherapy and causes difficulty with memory and other cognitive functions. Our hypothesis is that a dietary intervention focused on the MIND diet will reduce cognitive problems in cancer survivors. This will pave the way for future research to develop dietary approaches to minimize side effects of cancer treatment and improve quality of life.
