ALICE’S STORY
“WHEN YOU LIVE IN FEAR, YOU ARE LIVING IN THE PAST OR THE FUTURE, IF YOU’RE LIVING IN THE PRESENT MOMENT FEAR CANT EXIST”
- LISA, HEALER.
It’s always strange making new friends as an adult isn’t it? On the day I met Meagan on a movie set in New Orleans, with her giant telling eyes and infectious energy, I knew that she had my back and that I was going to have hers - forever. Back then neither of us could have imagined the chain of events that were about to unfold.
For those of you not in it, the film industry is a fickle space. You spend a really intense period of time with people who become your family. Then the job ends and you all go back to your normal lives and that friendship, more often than not, kind of drifts away. I feel truly blessed that my time in the industry has given me some of my best friends, my partner and so many experiences I could only have dreamed of. It has also led me here, to this very moment, creating Love Beats All alongside my now dear friend Meagan. We have vowed to give everything we’ve learnt through her experiences to as many people as we can with the hope (though some may call us crazy) to change the face of cancer for those following in Meagan’s footsteps.
Let’s go back a few years… I used to have zero focus on my health and no awareness of the health of anyone around me. I was blissfully unaware, blessed with relatively good health both myself and within my friends and family. My career was going great and everything else was secondary. Then I met my now fiancé, Pete, a very health conscious physiotherapist, now functional medicine practitioner. I started to question the effect of food, stress, lifestyle and toxins on my body. I discovered that I had deep-rooted systemic inflammation from my diet and lifestyle choices. This left me feeling lethargic and bloated. Like so many people out there I thought this was normal. Throughout my own journey discovering what it actually feels like to be ‘healthy’, I couldn’t help but want to share my findings. My thirst for more knowledge grew and I trained to become a certified health coach. I’m now a nutritional therapist in training and starting a company with my fiance called Kyushi Wellness. You’ll see Kyushi pop up every now and again as we will continue to support Love Beats All in every way we can.
Meagan’s diagnosis sent a shockwave through so many lives, ours included. She accepted our hopefully non-pushy help graciously and together the three of us have navigated certain elements of Meagan’s healing. By combining holistic practices and Western medicine we have seen results we could only have dreamed of. Joining Meagan in what we hope is a game changer of a company feels almost meant to be. I feel passionately dedicated to helping as many people as we can to prevent disease, help the body recover from disease, prevent reoccurrence, lighten toxic load, and more than anything to arm everyone with the information that they deserve to have. Everything you find here is to be shared far and wide. Feed these recipes to your kids or chat about it over coffee with a friend because together we can and will change the world.
As I continue to grow in my new role I hope to learn from you as well as support you and your loved-one as you go through the unimaginable. I want to give you hope, the courage to be strong, the strength to question and above all I want to give you the love you need.
