As a guest on your podcast I can discuss my wellness journey over the past few decades and how my spirituality and faith play a huge role in the work that I am doing to help others live a healthy and abundant life. I can also discuss chronic disease and how nutrition impacts our health.

I became interested in helping women prevent chronic disease because I was an overweight teenager who wanted better for my life then to feel defeated by weight. I have a lot of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer in my family. I knew if I didn’t change I would end up with some if not all these illnesses.
