When Ed handed me a little wooden starfish in the Bahamas, I didn’t expect to cry. But I did.
It wasn’t just a souvenir. It was a reminder — of my why.
If you’ve never heard the original starfish story, let me share it with you:
A young boy was walking along the beach, tossing starfish back into the ocean.The tide had gone out, and hundreds were stranded on the shore.A man walked up and said,
“Why are you doing this? You can’t save them all. What difference does it make?”The boy picked up another starfish, threw it into the ocean, and said:“It made a difference to that one.”
That story has lived in my heart for years.
But today, it means more than ever.
🍽️ I’ve Spent My Career in Healthcare
As a nurse — especially in hospice — I’ve watched what happens when we ignore the root causes of disease. When we numb symptoms with pills and patches, but never get to why the body is struggling in the first place.
It’s heartbreaking.
And it’s not always our fault — we were never taught to question how our food, stress, environment, and daily habits affect our cells. Our energy. Our long-term health.
But once you know — you can’t unknow.

And everything changed.
Cholesterol normalized. Blood sugar stabilized. Less inflammation. More stable energy. Fewer sugar crashes.
And for the first time in a while… hope.
And for the first time in a while… hope.
Since then, I’ve walked beside dozens of others who’ve taken their first step too:

💛 Sleep improving
🌟 And hope that something can actually work - returning

It’s not magic.
It’s cellular healing.
It’s learning how to fuel your body with what it actually needs.
It’s listening to your habits.
It’s understanding insulin resistance.
And it’s believing that healing is possible.

✨ You Are My Starfish
I can’t reach everyone.
Not everyone is ready.
Not everyone is ready.
But if you’re here, reading this… maybe you are.
And that’s enough.
And that’s enough.
So if you feel tired, frustrated, or broken — I want you to know something:
You are not beyond repair.
You are not the exception.
And it’s not too late to turn things around.
You are not the exception.
And it’s not too late to turn things around.
Sometimes all it takes is one shift.
One story.
One starfish.
One story.
One starfish.
And one person willing to throw it back into the sea.
