About Me
First and foremost, I am a wife and mom to the most wonderful people on this planet. They are my “why” I am here. At this time I am 55 and enjoying every bit of time I can with them while at the same time running a thriving business with my best friend/husband Pat. I’ve always been an extremely active person from the time I was young until now. Don’t get me wrong I do enjoy some quiet time to relax, but I prefer to be moving and doing something! I enjoyed sports and cheerleading in high school and then remained active in college through organizations. I especially loved my experience with the Ohio Glory way back in 1992!
After Pat and I were married in 1995 we started a family a few years after and had 3 wonderful kids, Chase, Blake and Emme. We were involved in their sports from watching, to coaching to also playing ourselves! Hockey became an obsession and I loved every minute of learning and playing it!!! Over the years I transitioned into CrossFit which I continue to do today in my 8th year. I LOVE it and know I would not be where I am today without it. It saved my life for sure.

My Mission, My Why
I am talking about my brush with death. I came WAY too close for comfort. Back in 2021 I went to the emergency room for what I thought was just IBS or something of that nature to spend 11 days in the hospital. I had been diagnosed with colon cancer that had 100% obstructed my colon. I had emergency surgery in Columbus and, amazingly, did not have to have a colostomy bag. My amazing doctor, Anantha Padmanabhan (Dr. Paddy) was able to remove most of my colon and attach what little was left to my small intestine. He was my guardian angel. I am forever grateful.
I then underwent 6 months of chemo as a safe measure. Not something I would wish on anyone and is most definitely an eye-opening experience, to say the least. Eye opening to what people go through and eye-opening to how broken many of our systems are today. Which is why I have created this site. I hate to be blunt, but our system for fighting cancer is completely screwed up. We are human guinea pigs. We are allowing people to pump ridiculous amounts of toxins into our bodies without first getting people's bodies ready for it. We are not educating people on the fact that cancer FEEDS on sugar...period.
I was offered every packaged piece of processed crap and sugar-filled drink out there while pumping toxins into my body to fight something I do believe could have been avoided and potentially cured through nutrition. So, during my 6 months of chemo, I brought my own food and drink. Thank god for that!
Moving forward past the chemo...
You see, I didn’t use my cancer in a way many people do. I was and always will be a fighter. I was not going to succumb to cancer. For me, this diagnosis meant something was wrong with the things I was doing. I had to know more. I had to understand why because when I asked Dr. Paddy and my oncologist that question, their answer was DUMB luck. I will say that again...
DUMB LUCK.
Nope, this wasn’t an answer for me. I don’t believe in luck. I believe I was given this as a gift because I know I can help others. I can be the lighthouse that helps lead the way to better health in many ways…not just by what we eat and drink.
I am not a doctor, nor a nurse, nutritionist, or trainer. I am just someone who has researched and listened to doctors and scientists who are challenging the norm and WINNING.
How do I know?
Because I read and listen to the countless comments and stories of people who are just like me. I visit the studies these doctors and scientists site which are strategically hidden from the mainstream.
I also know because I am doing so many of their recommendations to this day.
Could this change? You bet! Science is always changing. HONEST research is always evolving. What's awesome is the doctors and scientists I listen to and watch, have been through so much of this themselves. They are practicing what they preach.
I sure as hell will not sit back and take drugs and jabs because everyone else is doing it. I think twice now about what I eat, drink, and put on or in my body.
This goes for health AND beauty. We will get into this stuff later!
So now I am trying to lead the way for other people suffering from cancer or trying to keep it at bay.
If I can even help 1 person see the light of the lighthouse...I have succeeded.
