In the second episode in The Upgrade series on Food Heals, I share the gripping and emotional story of how I almost lost everything - not once but twice - but ultimately emerged stronger than ever. After losing both of my parents to cancer and discovering that my father's estate was being mismanaged by a trusted family friend, I found myself on the brink of homelessness and financial ruin. Despite these overwhelming challenges, I was determined to rebuild my life.


With no safety net and fueled by a mission to honor my parents' legacies, I launched a video production company that thrived for 15 years. However, it was my passion for health and wellness that led me to start the Food Heals podcast, where I interviewed people who had healed themselves through alternative medicine and a plant-based diet. The podcast quickly gained popularity, allowing me to live a life aligned with my purpose.


Despite facing setbacks during the pandemic, including a painful divorce and the near collapse of my business, I pivoted once again. I began coaching others, writing a book, and embracing the digital nomad lifestyle. Through it all, I learned that self-belief and resilience are key to overcoming adversity and achieving success.


Join me on this incredible journey as I share the highs and lows of my entrepreneurial path, offering inspiration and practical advice for anyone looking to turn their own struggles into triumphs.


I’m also excited to announce the launch of something bigger and better than ever before:


THE UPGRADE MASTERMIND:


UPGRADE is a High-level Mastermind for Purpose-Driven People, Creators, Influencers, Entrepreneurs, and Rebels who refuse to settle for the ordinary, are ready to live without limits, and want to upgrade their health and wealth together.

In the first episode of the The Upgrade series on Food Heals, we explore the transformative power of incantations and why they are more effective than affirmations. This series is designed for purpose-driven people, creators, influencers, entrepreneurs, and rebels who are ready to live without limits and upgrade their health and wealth.


The big news is that I’ve moved back to LA, the city where I built my adult life and career. After a period in Florida, North Carolina, and two years in Nashville, I felt a strong calling to return home. While I loved my time away, especially in Nashville, I faced daily anxiety from a troublesome neighbor. This experience taught me the importance of setting boundaries and using powerful incantations to reclaim my peace. Affirmations weren’t enough; I needed the certainty that incantations provided.


Certainty has been a cornerstone in my life, even in the most uncertain times. In this series, we’ll delve into how to act with certainty, gain confidence, overcome imposter syndrome, and tackle anxiety, overwhelm, and depression to rewire our brains for success. I’ll share stories from my entrepreneurial journey, and share how confidence in my convictions and belief in myself have helped me achieve what once seemed impossible. And, how you can do the same!


On the next episode, I’ll dive deeper into my entrepreneurial journey and discuss how certainty has been crucial to my success, even during the most uncertain circumstances. This series is about more than just sharing stories; it’s about offering tools and insights to help you upgrade your own life.


I’m also thrilled to announce the launch of something bigger and better than ever before: THE UPGRADE MASTERMIND. This high-energy, year-long group coaching program combines everything I’ve learned and practiced over the past 18 years. It’s designed to help people achieve health and success in every area of their lives—spiritually, emotionally, mentally, financially, and physically.


Imagine being part of a community where you can dream big, be deeply listened to, and be pushed out of your comfort zone. As Walt Disney said, “If you can dream it, you can do it.”

In our final episode of the "Doctors Gone Rogue" series, we’re paying tribute to a true legend in the field of holistic medicine. Today, we honor the remarkable legacy of Dr. John McDougall, who passed away last month. I'm also excited to feature the incredible work of Dr. Joel Kahn, known as "America’s Healthy Heart Doc." Both are plant-based doctors who believe in food as medicine.


First up, let’s talk about Dr. Joel Kahn. Dr. Kahn transitioned from traditional cardiology to holistic practices after experiencing the profound benefits of a plant-based vegan diet himself. Believing in the power of nutrition for heart health, he now focuses on non-traditional diagnostic tools and prevention tactics. This interview feels more like a night at the Laugh Factory than a conversation with a cardiologist! Dr. Kahn’s blend of facts and humor had us in stitches as we covered topics like nutrition, longevity, sex, stress, and “how not to die!”


Next, we turn our attention to the beloved Dr. John McDougall. A physician and nutrition expert, Dr. McDougall dedicated his life to teaching the power of a whole-food, starch-based diet in preventing and reversing chronic diseases. His journey began after a massive stroke at age 18, which led him to embrace holistic, plant-based nutrition as a path to true healing.


Dr. McDougall’s legacy is monumental. He founded the renowned McDougall Program, authored best-selling books, and passionately advocated for dietary therapy as a cornerstone of health. His impact on the medical community and the lives of countless patients is immeasurable.


On June 25th, Dr. McDougall’s daughter, Heather McDougall, announced his passing. Dr. McDougall leaves behind quite the legacy, and we re-play this interview to honor that legacy today.


So, let’s dive into this special episode, the final episode of the "Doctors Gone Rogue" series, honoring the legacies of Dr. Joel Kahn and Dr. John McDougall. These two plant-based doctors are living proof of the healing power of nutrition. They have bucked the traditional route of medicine and truly embody the notion that food heals.
