I didn't realize the benefits of leading a sustainable life until I had to. 

My health took my life on an unexpected detour, one that challenged me to ask deeper questions and seek real answers. I began digging into the why behind it all: historically, medically, socially, and systemically. What started as a personal journey evolved into a decade-long mission to educate, advocate, and drive meaningful change. Today, I'm living with better health and wellness than ever before.

Since that turning point, I've written books, spoken at universities and leading organizations internationally, and helped pass key legislation in California by building and leading state coalitions. I founded an award-winning Bay Area nonprofit with scalable school chapters designed to inspire the next generation. Along the way, I've also been honored with several awards, most recently the Ruby Award from Soroptimist International, which recognizes women helping women.

Now, with my health thriving, I teach from research and lived experience. I've built a more sustainable life, one that supports my body, my finances, my family, and the earth. Through practical tools, clean-living tips, and carefully curated product picks, I help others take simple, judgement-free steps toward their best life.

Whether you're here to learn, shop, or be inspired, I'm here to support your journey toward a healthier, more sustainable life.
