Hi! I’m Jenny,
a here to share the tips, tricks, and tools along my own journey of shrinking the mutant
as well as the insights and resources I’ve spent time learning and developing over the years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017.
Sometimes I say I have a B.C. life and an A.D. one. That’s the “Before Cancer” and “After Diagnosis” mind bender most of us dealing with cancer are all too familiar with.
My life B.C. was spent in full time ministry & higher ed for a few decades helping equip students to know and grow in relationship with God, spent eating Pop-Tarts & Cherry Coke through the day in grad school, and going on adventures with my husband, Mike, where we enjoyed the “ignorance is bliss” life of going wherever & eating whatever.
Life “After Diagnosis” led me to an entire lifestyle shift in order to support my healing. That meant resigning from my ministry career, ditching the toxic stuff that was going in-on-around me, and finding a whole new passion for nutrition, holistic/integrative cancer care, and serving others who are also on a cancer journey none of us ever wanted.
I continued my education to become a Certified Culinary Nutrition Expert and a Certified Holistic Cancer Coach to better be able to serve you.
So here on you’ll find cancer patient resources,
tools for thriving with cancer,
anticancer nutrition & recipes,
encouragement during this hard journey,
insights into dealing with blood draws or MRIs or IVCs or whatnot,
and a community of like-minded cancer pals that are living beyond a diagnosis and choosing to intentionally support overall wellness instead of just focusing on a spot.
What you won’t find is arguing. I won’t argue with you. (I don’t argue in real life and I won’t waste time arguing here.) If you don’t believe in a particular type of care or therapy that is mentioned here and you want to yell about it, then feel free to move along. The rest of us here are living proof that we can do things to intentionally support our bodies to THRIVE while LIVING with cancer. And we CHEER EACH OTHER ON during the journey.
I hope what I share ENCOURAGES YOU!
Welcome to Shrink the Mutant!
