Here it is....My Raw Whole Food/Plant Based diet!




On October 1, 2023, I embarked on my life changing adventure to save my life!  For 90 days I’ll be eating (and drinking) 100% raw (organic) fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.  That meant goodbye cheese 😭, goodbye Diet Coke, goodbye chicken and goodbye candy and ice cream!  Someone told me when I was first starting off “You can’t do this with fear, it needs to be a joy and an adventure.”  I embraced that attitude and dove right in.


Luckily, I had purchased the Chris Beat Cancer course so I wasn’t going in completely blind.  He has his course broken down into 10 easy to follow modules (I highly recommend it if you need a healing or prevention guide).  You can find more information at www.chrisbeatcancer.com. He also has some amazing testimonies you can listen to here: https://chrisbeatcancer.libsyn.com/  


So, what was my diet going to look like if I was juicing/eating all Raw Whole Food/Plant Based foods?  Well, the first 90 days will be a “morning green light” drink, 64oz of juice (I bought a high-quality cold press juicer, the Nama J2) that I make each morning and drink throughout the day and 2 BIG salads.  


My morning green light drink is 20oz of Jason Winters tea, 1/2 of a lemon squeezed, 1TBSP ACV, along with Moringa Powder, Alma Powder, Cranberry Powder, Spirulina Powder, and D-mannose Powder.  These are all organic cancer fighting power houses and a great way to kick off my day!  


For my 64oz of juice I started with and have stuck to Chris’ recommended juice recipe which includes (all organic) 5 pounds of carrots, 2-3 whole beets, 5 granny smith apples, 2 lemons and 5-6 ribs of celery.  All this along with 1-2 knuckles of turmeric, ginger and 1-2 cloves of garlic.  There are other recipes I can rotate to if/when I need to mix things up but so far, I’ve stuck with this one.  


I’ve been asked so many times “why so many carrots”?  Here is a great explanation!  https://adventureswithjodi.com/is-there-anything-a-carrot-cant-do/  And for those of you wondering...YES I'm turning orange!!


My 2 BIG salads a day consist of whatever fresh organic veggies and fruit I have on hand along with 1-2 tablespoons of organic sauerkraut (an awesome probiotic), some raw/organic sunflower seeds, a special blend of cancer fighting spices such as rosemary, oregano, tarragon, turmeric, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if I want to add some spice), garlic powder, onion powder, really any organic seasoning that I like.  


I know this sounds like a boring diet, eating the same thing every single day but I’m finding that I’m actually enjoying it….and I feel FANTASTIC!  


I started all this faithfully on 10/1 and on 10/10 my oncologist ordered blood work.  I had this exact blood panel done on 9/20, just 3 weeks prior.  The difference in my blood markers in just 3 short weeks was mind blowing!  Truly amazing results.  Everything, but my RDW (a sign of anemia), including my cancer markers was back in the “green” and my RDW was barely high, only 1.8 above normal range.  


So there’s my daily diet that I enjoy each day.  What happens after the 90 days?  Well, that depends on my next scans which my oncologist will order when I see him on January 15, 2024.  I can tell you with 100% certainly that I will maintain this type of healthy relationship with food forever.  No more binge eating, no more sugary drinks, no more candy, no more booze…I don’t need it anymore.  I don’t need it because part of my healing has included healing my mind, my spirit and forgiveness, forgiving everyone but mostly forgiving myself.  


Until next time…..keep joy in your mind and heart! 


Much love and many blessings, 

Ali

Two Years Later: The Day Everything Changed — From Fear to Freedom

Yellowstone Lake May 2025   Two years later....my journey is my inspiration❣️ In the early hours of July 11, 2023—my 50th birthday—Keith took me to the ER. We didn’t know it then, but that day marked the beginning of a journey that would change everything. What we thought was a precautionary trip turned into a 10-day hospital stay, two emergency surgeries, and ultimately, the cancer diagnosis we never saw coming. It felt like the ground shifted beneath us—fast and without warning. That moment shook us to the core. But it also became the turning point. It led to one of the hardest and most personal decisions I’ve ever had to make: to decline chemotherapy. That choice didn’t come lightly—it came through tears, prayer, research, and a surrender I can’t quite explain. I opened my heart to God’s way of healing, and in doing so, found a peace that made no earthly sense but felt entirely divine. It’s hard to believe it’s been two years now since life threw us that curveball—a health scar...

Ain’t Life Grand….living life on the right side of cancer 💕

Greetings from beautiful Wyoming! Hidden Falls - Jenny Lake / Grand Teton National Park  A quick update before I get into it - I moved all my blogs to a new platform and it’s so much better now (at least for me).  Please let me know your thoughts, I appreciate your feedback 🩷.  Ok, here we go!!  Some of you may be following along on our journey via facebook but for those of you who aren’t, here’s a quick update.   We kicked off our nomadic journey on March 11, 2025 (after living full-time in the RV since September 2024) and this has quite literally been the best thing we have ever done.    Keith and I keep asking each other why we didn’t do this sooner.    It all comes back to - it just wasn’t our time yet.    But here we are now and we are absolutely living our best life!  Workamping is a real thing - real companies do in fact hire people who live full-time in their RV for seasonal work.    We landed an awesome job ...

When fear knocks….

A few days ago I was talking with my mom and shared with her a question that I had recently been asked: “How do you stay out of fear of recurrence or fear of cancer in general after your cancer diagnosis in 2023 and reaching NED (no evidence of disease) in 2024?”   When I was first asked this, my initial thought was “wow, that’s really hard to answer” and then a nano second later I remembered that it wasn’t hard at all: My God is bigger than cancer so my faith must remain bigger than my fear! That’s it! For me, it’s that easy!  Let’s be honest, when I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer in 2023, fear came in fast and heavy. It sat in my chest like a weight, whispering worst-case scenarios and “what ifs” every chance it got. I think anyone who has heard the words “You have cancer” knows exactly what I mean. Fear tries to claim your future before you even have a chance to fight for it. But somewhere along the way - between doctor visits, alternative therapies, prayers, a...
