Everything I share comes from a combination of my personal experience, more than 20 years working in health and wellness, and the research I've done throughout my own cancer journey. I've used many of the foods, supplements, therapies, and strategies I write about personally, but my approach has continued to evolve as I've learned more and as my own health has changed.

I don't believe everyone should simply copy what I did. Cancer isn't one disease, and two people with the same diagnosis can have very different health histories, nutritional needs, genetics, treatments, and overall terrain. My goal is to show you what I did, explain the science and thinking behind it, and help you ask better questions about what may make sense for you.

The Five Pillars are Faith, Diet, Supplementation, Detoxification, and Oxygenation. They became the framework I used to organize the major areas I focused on throughout my journey. Faith is the foundation underneath all of them, while the other four focus on supporting the environment, or terrain, in which my body and cells are functioning every day.

Your terrain is the internal environment your cells live in. It includes things like nutrient status, metabolic health, inflammation, blood sugar, immune function, circulation, gut health, sleep, stress, and environmental exposures.

I don't believe complex health can be understood by looking at one symptom or one lab result in isolation. That's why I look at the whole person and how these systems interact. It's also the philosophy behind Be Resilient, where comprehensive testing is used to identify patterns and build a more personalized terrain approach around the individual.

No. I share what I've personally done, what I've learned, and the research behind the subjects I discuss so you can become more informed about your health. This information isn't a substitute for individualized medical care, and decisions involving a diagnosis, medication, treatment, or major change to your health plan should be discussed with qualified healthcare professionals who understand your individual situation.

I believe you should learn as much as you can, ask good questions, seek wise counsel, pray about your decisions, and take an active role in your own health.
