For readers who may be new to your work, how would you describe what you do and the mission behind it?
I help people feel better in their bodies and reclaim their health through food, lifestyle, and intentional daily choices. My work begins with uncovering the root cause of symptoms, often through bloodwork, so we can see what your body is truly asking for. From there, I guide you in building a foundation of whole, clean foods, nervous system support, and practices that restore energy. My mission is to show that healing doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It becomes deeply nourishing and empowering when you understand what’s happening inside your body and align your daily choices with your unique needs. I know firsthand how powerful this approach can be, and my work is about making it accessible, sustainable, and even joyful for others.
You’ve been called a pioneer in holistic nutrition. What first drew you to this path, and how has your vision of wellness evolved over time?
In my early thirties I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and later with hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, and Celiac disease… wake-up calls that forced me to completely reevaluate how I was living. At the same time, I watched my husband face Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and ultimately pass away, which deepened my conviction that nutrition and emotional healing are often missing from conventional care. Those experiences inspired me to become a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, create EG Kitchen, and write Cancer Hacks. Over time, my vision of wellness has grown beyond food as medicine to include the full spectrum of health: mindset, energy, environment, and spiritual alignment. To me, true healing means embracing a pro-aging lifestyle that nourishes body, mind, and spirit at every stage of life.
