Olivia Newton-John Gives Plant-Based a Try Amid Cancer Battle

Olivia Newton-John, a three-time cancer survivor and actress, has turned to plant-based therapies to help her on her cancer journey. In October 2020, she launched the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund to support plant-based cancer research after her own positive experiences with alternative treatments. The foundation aims to provide funding for plant-based cancer research, as well as other holistic and wellness therapies, in order to gather more scientific-backed information on alternative methods of healing.

While Newton-John may not be fully vegan, she has found relief from the side effects of her cancer through medicinal herbs and cannabis, alongside traditional Western therapies. She has also begun adopting a more plant-forward diet, following the lead of her daughter, singer Chloe Lattanzi, who is a long-time vegan. Newton-John hopes to bring relief to others by furthering research in plant-based therapies and alternative treatments for cancer.
