After Two Years Away, I’m Sharing My Biggest Challenge Yet

It’s been almost two years since I last posted on my YouTube channel, and a lot has happened during that time. Earlier this year, I received a life-changing diagnosis:

I have cancer.

As a plant-based health coach and certified juice therapist, this news was both shocking and humbling.

But instead of letting fear define my journey, I decided to lean deeper into the principles of non-toxic, natural healing that I’ve been passionate about for years. In this blog post, I’ll share the key moments from my journey so far and how this experience has shaped my approach to health and wellness. (Watch the video for the full details.)

Plant-Based Health Coach Turns to Non-Toxic Cancer Care

The Diagnosis

The diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the anus was a wake-up call. Eating a whole food, plant-based diet alone is not a guarantee of perfect health. While it does greatly reduce the risk of many cancers, there are other contributing factors, including viruses like HPV, stress, toxins, and certain vaccines that can disrupt our body’s natural cancer-fighting ability.

Despite already living a whole food, plant-based lifestyle, I realized there was more that I needed to do to support my body’s healing.

Hope 4 Cancer: My Non-Toxic Treatment Plan

I chose to pursue treatment at Hope 4 Cancer in Cancun, a clinic known for its holistic approach. For two weeks, I underwent intensive therapies designed to rebuild my immune system. This included photodynamic therapy, IV vitamin C, IV curcumin, IV laetrile, full body hyperthermia, hyperbaric chamber, daily coffee enemas, and delicious fresh juices, smoothies and high-raw plant-based meals. These treatments aim to support the body’s natural healing processes without toxic side effects.

When I returned home, I continued many of the protocols on my own. I increased my intake of fresh juices and raw, nutrient-dense foods while staying committed to detoxification and overall wellness.

Believing I Was Cancer-Free—And What Happened Next

For months, I believed I was cancer-free. (All the tests said so!) I felt lighter, stronger, and full of hope. But two weeks before my follow-up trip to Hope 4 Cancer, I learned that the cancer was still there—and had grown slightly.

This news was a setback, but it also reminded me that healing is not always a straight path. I’ve since adapted my treatment plan, incorporating a new peptide therapy protocol to work alongside my plant-based diet and juicing routines.

A Renewed Focus on Juicing and Plant-Based Living

This journey has deepened my commitment to holistic health. While cancer has become part of my story, this blog—and my YouTube channel—remains focused on empowering you. Whether you’re dealing with chronic conditions like high blood pressure or just want to live a healthier life, the principles I use for my healing can help you too.

I’ll continue to share recipes, tips, and science-backed strategies to support you on your health journey.
