They’ll tell you the statistics. They’ll tell you the expected time frames. And if you ask about alternative or integrative approaches, the mainstream, allopathic perspective often says: “There’s no strong evidence that will change the outcome.”

When I began to detox my lifestyle, one of the first places I looked was my bathroom. The average person uses 12 personal care products a day—and most of them are loaded with ingredients we’d never intentionally put on our skin if we knew what they were.

When I was first diagnosed with cancer, my world flipped. I began acting on the questioning and awareness I created over years. Everything I put in and on my body and give to my family matters to me. It's really been since being diagnosed that I started to really see the danger in microplastics—tiny particles that seemed harmless but are now showing up in our blood, breast milk, and organs.

Let’s talk about one of the most misleading phrases in the beauty industry:“Dermatologist tested.” It sounds safe, approved, even clinical—right? But here’s the truth: the term is unregulated and doesn’t guarantee safety, quality, or clean ingredients.

These socks were designed with purpose. Created by my sister, Marla, they carry more than a color palette or a logo. They carry meaning.

As I approach my fourth PET scan, I wanted to share how I prepare — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

When you're walking through something like cancer, people often ask:"What else are you doing?" And the truth is — a lot. I do it because I know that more is possible—way more than the standard of care offers. I understand that supporting my body helps it work better.

There’s nothing that prepares you for the moment you hear the words: You have cancer. Whether it’s caught early or advanced, whether your doctor is hopeful or cautiously optimistic, in that moment—it hits like a truck. Your entire world shifts. You go from living your day-to-day life to suddenly standing at what feels like death’s door. It’s not just fear. It’s a profound confrontation with your own mortality.

Life often presents us with moments that ignite our passion for action. This month, I am thrilled to share my commitment to a workout challenge dedicated to conquering cancer. I’ve teamed up with the Initio Nuclear Medicine team, and I’d like to invite you to join us in this significant mission. Why embark on this journey? For every woman who has yet to hear the words “You have cancer,” and for those of us who have already faced that reality. Our challenge honors those liv
