Empowering Health Through Nutrition, Prevention, and Education
At EmpowerHer, we are proud to collaborate with professionals who are committed to improving lives through knowledge, innovation, and compassionate care. One of them is Małgorzata Dworzańska, a Registered Dietitian, Public Health Specialist, and Health Educator whose career has been dedicated to promoting healthy lifestyles and supporting people through every stage of their health journey.
A graduate of the Poznań University of Medical Sciences, Małgorzata’s interest in oncology nutrition began early in her academic career. Her diploma thesis explored the role of nutrition in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer, as well as women’s awareness and understanding of the topic. This research laid the foundation for a professional path that has now spanned more than fifteen years.
Turning Science into Practical Guidance
Throughout her career, Małgorzata has focused on making nutritional science accessible and actionable. Her mission is not only to educate but also to empower individuals with practical tools that can improve their health and well-being.
For over 15 years, she has been conducting educational activities on healthy nutrition, disease prevention, and oncology prevention for both healthy individuals and people undergoing treatment. She has extensive experience designing and leading workshops that help participants understand how evidence-based nutrition can support overall health, reduce disease risk, and improve quality of life.
Her work is particularly valued for its practical approach. Rather than presenting nutrition as a set of rigid rules, she helps people understand how informed dietary choices can become a sustainable part of everyday life.
Supporting Patients Beyond Treatment
A significant part of Małgorzata’s work involves supporting oncology patients and survivors. She collaborates closely with breast cancer survivor associations, leading preventive and educational workshops that provide reliable information and guidance.
Her expertise includes developing nutritional strategies that help individuals manage treatment-related side effects, maintain energy levels, and support recovery. By translating complex scientific findings into personalized recommendations, she enables patients to take an active role in managing their health.
This patient-centred philosophy aligns closely with EmpowerHer’s mission to provide women with the tools, confidence, and support needed to improve their well-being during and after treatment.
A Leader in Public Health and Prevention
For the past nine years, Małgorzata has served as the Head of the Preventive Programs Office at the Center for Cancer Prevention and Epidemiology (OPEN) in Poznań, Poland.
In this role, she has been responsible for creating and managing health programmes focused on oncology prevention and the rehabilitation of oncology patients. Her work contributes not only to individual health outcomes but also to broader public health initiatives aimed at increasing awareness and promoting preventive care.
Her commitment to prevention extends beyond nutrition alone. As a member of the Polish Society of Lifestyle Medicine, she advocates for a comprehensive approach to health that includes nutrition, physical activity, stress management, and other healthy lifestyle behaviours.
A Vision for Long-Term Well-Being
Małgorzata believes that the principles of lifestyle medicine represent one of the most powerful investments people can make in their future.
For her, health is about much more than longevity. It is about maintaining physical fitness, mental clarity, independence, and quality of life throughout the years.
This vision perfectly complements the goals of EmpowerHer, which seeks to support women through evidence-based interventions that improve physical, emotional, and social well-being.
“I consider being part of the EmpowerHer team both a privilege and a great opportunity to exchange experiences and build a modern, high-quality support programme grounded in scientific research. It is also a chance to empower individuals to take responsibility for their own health, which is one of the most effective ways to foster long-term well-being.”

Building Health Through Knowledge
Through her work as a dietitian, public health specialist, educator, and programme manager, Małgorzata continues to demonstrate the transformative power of education and prevention.
Her contribution to EmpowerHer helps ensure that women receive not only reliable information but also practical tools that enable them to make informed decisions about their health. By combining scientific expertise with a genuine commitment to empowering others, she is helping to build a future where knowledge becomes a pathway to resilience, confidence, and well-being. 💜
