From Hospital Rounds to a Focus on Prevention: My Why
Twenty years ago, I was deep in a clinical rotation at a major hospital in Fort Worth. Every day, I walked into patient rooms, delivering last-minute nutrition advice to people whose health had already reached a breaking point.

One moment changed everything.

Prior to Cultivate Nutrition, I spent 10+ years in sales traveling coast to coast transforming corporations into a healthier workforce.

I stepped into a hospital room where a women —newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes—lay in bed, surrounded by her worried loved ones. Her diagnosis had blindsided her. As we talked about how nutrition could help her manage her condition, I couldn’t shake one thought: What if she had this knowledge sooner? What if the right nutrition habits had prevented her complications—or better yet, her diabetes altogether?

That moment lit a fire in me.

I realized that nutrition shouldn’t just be about damage control—it should be about prevention, empowerment, and unlocking our best, most vibrant lives.
