Hi, I’m Kari…


I am here to assist you in reclaiming your body and guiding you back to health following a cancer diagnosis.

While combating cancer is crucial, maintaining a sense of control and wellness during and after treatment is vital for your overall well-being. Consider me as a seasoned, medically trained health consultant who will lead you on a personalized journey not only to rebuild health and wellness but also to thrive after a cancer diagnosis.

Who I Help

  • Women

  • Girls

I assist cancer survivors in leveraging their diagnosis to embrace a healthier lifestyle. My guidance enables individuals to tap into their inner strength, addressing persistent treatment-related symptoms, reducing inflammation, enhancing post-treatment gut health, rebuilding strength, and restoring hormonal balance.

Do you have a family history of cancer? It's important to note that around 70% of cancers are associated with lifestyle choices, while genetics account for less than 10%. Whether you're currently in good health or wish to proactively reduce your cancer risk, I outline specific lifestyle factors to steer clear of and provide insights on incorporating habits that can significantly diminish the likelihood of developing cancer.

  • As an oncology physician assistant, I struggled to make sense of the puzzling trend of increasing cancer diagnoses, particularly among younger adults. My exploration began with fundamental aspects like lifestyle, nutrition, and environmental exposures, ultimately guiding me to the realm of functional medicine—a discipline that delves into the root causes of diseases and embraces a holistic approach to patient care.
