There is not a single solution to being “healthy” and personalized care is the future. We need to also take an integrative and common sense approach to our health and well being. She wants to encourage and inspire others to be more engaged and thoughtful about their health. Don’t take it for granted. One of her goals is to motivate (and remind) others to embrace life now by focusing on what’s important to you. Everybody is dealing with something, and having the right perspective helps you deal with those challenges. Hers happened to be cancer and a brain tumor. A lot of research was done to better understand how everything is connected and the people she has met along the way are amazing. Her sense of humor, stubborn streak, faith, family and friends help her get through this. Life is truly about the small things you do daily.
