They took a long time to clean, to cook, to eat. They were heavy to carry home from the grocery store. So, you know, Hey, we've been told by our mothers to eat our vegetables, all our lives, right? So when I was teaching the importance of eating vegetables, I wasn't telling people anything they didn't already know, but what I did find out, and this is where my epiphany happened is that even though people knew they should eat more greens, there were too many obstacles. I'm sorry, this is such a long-winded story, but my epiphany about algae didn't happen until I started teaching plant-based nutrition.Īnd here's my epiphany, which I'm sure your listeners will appreciate. Why don't I teach it? So I put a curriculum together, teaching plant based nutrition. And then, well now what, so I thought I've got this information. Then I got a health coaching certificate. So I went to a place called the Institute for integrative nutrition in New York city, which taught holistic health. I needed some kind of nutrition education. Why doesn't anybody else know about it? So, I'm just the kind of person that is very action oriented after I found all this research that I need to do something, so I gave up my 25 year corporate career and I went back to school. As I mentioned, as I read more and more science about this, I thought, man, this stuff is pretty powerful, scientifically documented. So I had to kind of do a deep dive and, as I gave her foods to eat and foods to remove from her diet and she did go through chemo and completely healed. I, nobody was talking about plant-based nutrition. And it turned out the alkaline diet was predominantly foods that were plant-based because of the chlorophyll and the phytonutrients that have been proven scientifically to help build your health and your immune system and your blood. I said, I don't know what this alkaline diet stuff is, but I will find out and we will make this happen. So here I was an MBA, knew nothing about nutrition. So the first call she made when she got home that day was to me because I'm her big sister who loves her.Īnd also I'm just a really good researcher. Now they didn't tell her what an alkaline diet was or why it was good for her. But as she was preparing for chemo, her oncologist advised her to change her diet to an alkaline diet because they said it would help her with her healing. I just want to assure everyone right now that she did heal completely.Īnd she's 10 years cancer-free so happy ending there. It found me, I was minding my own business.īut then about 12 years ago, 12 or 13 years ago, my younger sister developed breast cancer.
