After watching her father die of Prostate Cancer, Caryn was also diagnosed with cancer. Caryn likes to say that she was "brushed with cancer" as she was able to have it surgically removed.

The removal was successful but Caryn was afraid it would come back and knew her immune system wasn't strong enough to fight it.

She researched the best diet for cancer and natural ways to heal from cancer and found article after article about plant based nutrition. She went from a low carb all natural frozen meal diet to shopping the produce aisle over night.

At first, She was afraid to cook plants because she didn't know how. Cooking food that didn't come with instructions was new to Caryn but, she stuck with it and 10 years later, her cancer hasn't come back.

Caryn is dedicating her life to teaching others how to heal their bodies with and achieve optimal health by teaching plant based cooking classes in St. Louis Missouri.
