Founded by Gold Medalist Clinical Dietitian Lakshaya Saini, the PCL-180 Project offers a personalised, four-phase coaching system — the first of its kind to combine clinical nutrition, gut microbiome testing, DNA methylation, psychological healing, and anti-cancer lifestyle architecture into a single integrated program.
INDIA: Every year, millions of people in India and around the world receive a cancer diagnosis that changes their lives forever. Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation may destroy cancer cells — but they leave behind a body and mind that need deep, systematic healing. For most cancer warriors, the hardest question after treatment ends is not “What’s next?” — it is “How do I make sure this never comes back?”
The PCL-180 Project was built to answer exactly that question. Founded by Lakshaya Saini — a gold medalist clinical dietitian — it is a 180-day, four-phase coaching program that works with cancer warriors who have battled cancer or are currently battling it, with one clear mission: to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and help survivors not just survive, but truly thrive.
Addressing a Critical Gap in Cancer Care
Despite advances in medical treatment, the period after cancer treatment — often called survivorship — remains deeply underserved. Most oncologists are focused on treating cancer, not on what comes after. Survivors are frequently left without guidance on nutrition, gut health, mental wellbeing, toxin exposure, or long-term lifestyle strategies. The PCL-180 Project fills this gap with a structured, data-driven approach that is the first of its kind.
“Most cancer warriors finish their treatment and walk out of the hospital with no roadmap for what comes next,” said Lakshaya Saini, Founder of the PCL-180 Project. “They are exhausted, confused, and afraid. Our program gives them that roadmap — built specifically around their body, their data, and their goals.”
A Four-Phase System Built for Deep, Lasting Recovery
The PCL-180 Project is organised into four progressive phases, each building on the last:
Phase 0 — Cognitive Priming: Recovery begins in the mind. A cancer diagnosis triggers anxiety, depression, and fear — and for many, unresolved emotional trauma that is scientifically linked to disease progression. Phase 0 addresses the psychological foundation first, helping warriors overcome fear, release emotional burdens, build a positive self-image, and develop the action-taking mindset that makes every other phase possible.
Phase 1 — Cellular Clarity Code: Rather than guessing at root causes, the PCL-180 Project invests in comprehensive blood testing and gut microbiome analysis to decode four critical areas of health — micronutrient status, metabolic health, gut microbiome balance, and DNA methylation. Specific nutrients such as Vitamin B12, Betaine, and Choline have been shown to influence gene expression and can suppress cancer-promoting genes — a fact that most cancer warriors have never been told. The result is a personalised recovery roadmap built entirely on the individual’s own data.
Phase 2 — Anti-Cancer Architecture: This phase systematically dismantles the conditions in which cancer thrives, across five pillars: eliminating endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) from everyday products; improving body composition and metabolic health; strengthening immunity through targeted gut repair using prebiotics and probiotics; personalised stress and sleep management to lower cortisol; and the implementation of an anti-angiogenic diet — one that includes foods like broccoli, garlic, tomatoes, and fermented products that are clinically associated with suppressing cancer cell growth. Safe food sourcing and cooking practices are also covered, since pesticide exposure and high-temperature cooking of fat-rich foods can generate cancer-causing compounds such as Oxysterols and Acrylamide.
Phase 3 — Longevity Code: The final phase is designed to ensure that results are not just achieved, but sustained for life. This means replacing short-lived motivation with genuine discipline, building daily habits that become automatic, developing deep nutritional literacy, and equipping each warrior with the tools and knowledge to maintain their health independently — long after the 180 days come to an end.
Personalised, Precise, and Evidence-Based
What distinguishes the PCL-180 Project from generic wellness programs is its refusal to guess. Every recommendation is rooted in each warrior’s individual test results, health history, cancer type, and current condition. For example, a warrior recovering from brain cancer may be placed on a ketogenic anti-angiogenic diet, while another warrior may receive an entirely different protocol — because no two cancer journeys are the same.
The program also goes beyond nutrition. It recognises that true recovery requires addressing the body’s environment at every level — cellular, hormonal, psychological, and lifestyle — simultaneously. This integrated approach is what makes the PCL-180 Project uniquely positioned to address the full complexity of cancer recurrence risk.
Who the PCL-180 Project Is For
The PCL-180 Project is designed for:
- Cancer survivors who have completed treatment and want to reduce the risk of recurrence.
- Individuals currently undergoing cancer treatment who want to support their body through a clinically guided nutrition and lifestyle framework.
- Warriors who are frustrated by the lack of post-treatment support and are looking for a systematic, science-backed path forward.
About the Founders and the PCL-180 Project
Lakshaya Saini is a gold medalist clinical dietitian and co-founder of the PCL-180 Project. With a deep commitment to evidence-based practice and a passion for empowering cancer warriors, Lakshaya built the PCL-180 methodology to bridge the critical gap between clinical cancer treatment and long-term health.
Kavya Chugh is a Registered Dietitian (IDA Membership No. 652022) and co-founder of the PCL-180 Project. Kavya brings clinical expertise in therapeutic nutrition to the program, ensuring that every dietary protocol is grounded in the highest standards of dietetic practice and tailored to each warrior’s unique health profile.
Together, Lakshaya and Kavya lead the PCL-180 Project with a shared mission: to give every cancer warrior the tools, knowledge, and support they need to reclaim their health and live stronger. The program’s name reflects its core promise: post-cancer longevity, delivered through a structured 180-day journey.
“We don’t just give you a plan. We give you a transformation — physical, mental, and cellular. You came to us as a survivor. You will leave as someone who thrives.”
