The Becoming Resilient Blog

Food is more than calories, it provides the fuel and building blocks your cells use every day. After my diagnosis, I became fascinated by cancer metabolism and started asking a different question: Is the way I'm eating supporting healthy cells, or creating an environment cancer cells can take advantage of?

More isn't always better. I learned to look at supplementation differently—identify vulnerabilities, understand what my body actually needs, and become more intentional about what I put into it.

My focus isn't just on what I put into my body, but also what I'm exposed to and how well my body can process and eliminate it. Detoxification became a major part of how I think about reducing unnecessary exposures and supporting the systems my body already has.

Oxygen plays a role in nearly every cell in the body, yet it wasn't something I gave much thought to before my diagnosis. As I began studying cellular health more deeply, oxygenation became an area I researched and intentionally incorporated into my routine.
