So I thought, okay, if you, if I’m going to help people I have to find something that’s got the green nutrition but it has to be fast, easy and maybe not even taste green. Pretty much everybody knows that they should eat more greens to be healthier, but they either don’t like them, their kids don’t like them, their husband doesn’t like them, too much work to cut, carry them, cut them. When I graduated I thought, well now what? So then I taught nutrition for free at corporations and hospitals, just trying to teach people how to incorporate a plant-based nutrition diet to be healthier. So I gave up my career, went back to school, I got a one year certificate from a place called the Institute for Integrative Nutrition so I could get us a health coaching certificate. So I thought, okay, well why don’t I give it a shot? And as I read the science I thought man, somebody has to get this knowledge out there. But 10 years ago, nobody was talking about it. All the research in new foods is pretty much plant-based. Now in America and possibly in Australia as well, plant-based nutrition is pretty much mainstream now. ![]() And 10 years later she’s still cancer free, so I’m very excited about that.Īnd in the process of helping her, I started reading about plant-based nutrition. So she did change her diet and eliminated acidic foods. So I said, “Oh, I have no idea what an alkaline diet is, but we will find out.” And it turned out to be mostly a plant-based diet and it was because of the chlorophyll and the phytonutrients in the plants that would build her immune system and she was going through chemo, so she needed to keep her immune system strong. And also just because I’m a really good researcher. So she called me because of course she’s my baby sister. So they didn’t tell her what it was or why it would help her. And her oncologist in Canada told her she needed to change her diet to an alkaline diet because it would help her with her healing. And then out of the blue, my younger sister in Canada developed breast cancer. I was the publisher of an interior design magazine. But I had to spend all my time growing up in Canada, did an MBA, was doing international business and I’d started a couple other companies not related to nutrition. I’ll reveal it later on I guess if I have to. Well, I am Canadian, although I’ve lived in Boston for 20, oh, 33 years, so don’t do the math to figure out old I am, please.
