Receiving my diagnosis was crushing. After years of doing everything “right”—avoiding caffeine, fried foods, alcohol, and cigarettes, and living as a vegetarian—it felt deeply unfair that it still wasn’t enough to protect my health.

At first, I was lost in confusion and doubt, questioning if the doctors could really be correct. But gradually, a new perspective emerged: perhaps my healthy choices were the very reason I was still here, giving me the chance to keep fighting.

Once I moved past the shock and denial, I made a decision. I would focus on what I could control and take my healthy lifestyle even further, determined to live a vibrant life filled with energy and purpose.

That’s when I became a vegan/plant based.

I’m excited to open up and share the steps I took and how they transformed my life. My hope is that my story will inspire you, and maybe even offer the support you need on your own journey. Who knows—you might find the spark you’ve been looking for right here.
