Speaker

Toral specialises in evidence-informed nutrition, longevity medicine, and integrative oncology, helping individuals optimise their health, reduce the risk of chronic diseases—including cancer—and support their overall well-being. 

A passionate educator, Toral collaborates with brands, organisations, and media, presenting complex scientific research in an accessible way. Through social media, events, articles, and public speaking, she provides practical, science-backed advice to empower individuals in taking control of their health. She champions health equity in cancer care, focusing on disparities affecting South Asian and Black populations. As co-founder of South Asian Supernovas, she addresses the higher mortality rates and lower survival outcomes these communities face within the UK NHS. 

Toral’s journey into oncology and nutrition began when she initially pursued medical school with the goal of becoming an oncologist  over 25 year ago. However, after her mother’s breast cancer diagnosis, she realised her calling lay elsewhere. She went on to complete a BSc in Cell Biology, specialising in cancer, winning a prestigious Royal Society internship, where she studied SRC oncogenes. She later earned her MSc in Nutritional Medicine at the University of Surrey and trained as an Integrative and Functional Medicine Practitioner, specialising in nutrigenomics. She is currently in the final stages of completing her IFM certification.

She is currently developing a PhD proposal examining diet, lifestyle, neutropenia and gut health while collaborating on research with leading institutions. Her work with NIHR focuses on nutritional and lifestyle interventions for cancer patients. She regularly presents at major scientific conferences, including IPM Congress and BSIO webinars, where she discusses evidence-based approaches to metabolic health and cancer survivorship. She is currently co-chair of Nutrition Society Nutrition and Physical activity and cancer special interest group and lectures on nutrition and cancer for European School of Lifestyle Oncology.

As someone diagnosed with breast cancer three times, Toral understands firsthand the desire to modify diet and lifestyle after a diagnosis. She completed her MSc thesis on diet and lifestyle factors influencing breast cancer recurrence and is deeply committed to cancer prevention and survivorship care. She has developed integrative oncology courses to support breast and prostate cancer patients, equipping them with practical tools for recovery and reducing recurrence risk. Clients praise her science-backed, holistic support for optimising health and recovery.
