New PPO from Humana
In case anybody has to get insurance for cancer (think the enrollment period is about to close), this is the the new PPO from Humana that I just switched to (previously had Blue Cross PPO dropped to the HMO). Yearly detectable $6450…OUCH!!!!!! Monthly premium of $380 for medical a month and $20 for dental, nice car payment there! However, I can now continue my monitoring (PET Scans) and going to integrated medicine at MD Anderson. ~ Jamie #MedicalInsurance #Cancer #JamiesHope #PPO #Humana #IntegratedMedicine #Healthcare...
Questions about my plant-based diet
Lately I get asked lots of questions about my plant-based diet. First one is always about getting enough protein since I don’t eat meat anymore, not to worry I am getting plenty of protein in my diet (also the 1st one discussed in this article)!! There are also a few other good ones to read about including counting calories, which I have not thought about even once in the past year. I eat as much as I want (plant-based foods), am never hungry and lost over 40 pounds just by eating right. ~ Jamie #LifestyleMatters #PlantBasedDiet #Cancer #Vegan #HealthyLiving #Prevention...
What about Bob
Thinking of Bob Allen KHOU today… last October we honored him at our 4th Annual Masquerade for a Cure Gala. Thank you Chita Johnson KHOU and KHOU 11 News for helping us put together this little video. #BobAllen #JamiesHope #GetWellBob...
Day 5
Raw plate today after only blended food the last few days. Don’t think I have ever been so happy to eat raw food!!! There is no way I could have eaten this a year ago, probably would have starved to death, lol. Think juicing was my gateway into eating vegetables. So thankful, my tastebuds have FINALLY changed! Started the day with Planting II, we each get our own tray so I am actually growing my own wheatgrass. Then the coconut experience, laying around the ocean for a bit with a little Chopra reading, afternoon massage, then ended with environmental consciousness. Lots of learning and feeling awesome!!!! ~ Jamie #LifestyleMatters #Cancer #JamiesHope #HealthyLiving...
Disappointing…
However I am happy we are starting to see recommendations change in many areas. I have been battling cancer off and on for over 19 years and it wasn’t until my 4th relapse that I learned LIFESTYLE DOES MATTER. If my doctors in the past told me my dietary habits could play a role in my disease, it’s always possible I may have made healthier decisions. Always felt my whole life getting cancer was just bad luck, but not anymore! ~ Jamie #LifestyleMatters #Cancer...
It’s official…
Detoxing on day 3 with my mom. She is feeling it a little more than me. Probably all my juicing over the past year saving me!!! My mom has been into healthy living almost my whole life, she watched her own mother battle cancer off and on over 20 + years, eventually passing away from cancer. Should have listened to her a looooong time ago, not sure why we do the opposite of what our parents tell us, lol. Oh well, listening now!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also included a little breakfast of champions pictures smile emoticon ~ Jamie #LifestyleMatters #GetHealthy #PlantBasedDiet #JamiesHope...
Been bad…
Skipped afternoon yoga for the beach!!! Have to live a little, will be at 6 am yoga tomorrow smile emoticon Day 2 recap: Food prep classes, seashell hunting, organic grocery store hunting and now beach meditation… Seriously nothing beats meditation on the beach, feeling the breeze and listening to the ocean!!!! Doesn’t get much better. ~ Jamie #LifestyleMatters #Cancer #GetHealthy #Meditation #PlantBasedDiet #JamiesHope #Organic...

Puerto Rico here I come!!!!!
First time to fly alone in over 3 years (since 4th cancer relapse), pretty excited that my health has improved so much!!! Last few flights had to use wheelchair service and have help from family, come a looooooong way smile emoticon Made it to the airport early via MK Limousines, we personally use them for al airport transportation & limo needs. They are a Jamie’s Hope supporter, got to know a few drivers over last few years (Otto is def one of my favorites)!!!!!! Had a last minute green smoothie after check in, rest of my juice is checked in and will be waiting for me in Puerto Rico when I land smile emoticon Luggage in pictures is mostly health related… 15 juices & 15 green smoothies in checked cooler, Omega Juicer, Vitamix Blender, 15 prepared supplement containers, extra supplement bottles in case I stay longer. ~ Jamie #LifestyleMatters #Juicing #GetHealthy #TravelingWithCancer #Cancer...
Packing…
Traveling with cancer, fun!!!! Juicer, Vitamix blender, lots of bikinis and of course tons of Texans gear… Have to represent! Also, little education (books for reading on the beach). Puerto Rico bound right after Texans game tomorrow, on my way to do more learning about being healthy. Ready to kill some more cancer!!! Excited! ~ Jamie #LifestyleMatters #PlantBasedDiet #Vegan #CancerFreeWay #Cancer #Texans #GoTexans...
How Sugar Might Fuel Cancer
Anybody interested in prevention, cancer patients and survivors should read this!!!! I have struggled with sugar my entire life, most of my close friends and family have often heard me joke about sugar being my drug of choice. Until last year my diet was almost only red meat, carbs (pastas) and processed sugar (0 fruits and vegetables). It took me 19 years, 4 cancer relapses and 2 1/2 years of chemotherapy before I finally learned how much lifestyle played a part in my health. From somebody that has lived a life with cancer (since 14 years old), trust me lifestyle matters!!!!!!!!!!! ~ Jamie #LifestyleMatters #JamiesHope #Cancer #Sugar...

Meditation Monday…
65 days straight of meditation today!!!!!!! Woohoo, tomorrow it’s officially a habit according to the article below! Recommendation start small, incorporate into your morning schedule. I started with a 25 minute guided meditation cd and worked my way up to 2 hours a day. There are tons of guided medications on iTunes, YouTube and also MD Anderson (Itunes University). ~ Jamie #MeditationMonday #LifestyleMatters #Motivation #JamiesHope #TheCancerFreeWay #Meditation #GuidedMeditation...
Late start today
Christmas hangover (NOT from food or alcohol, from being busy)!! Started the morning routine around 11am. This is everything that normally goes in my body by 8 am every day. Food is my medicine smile emoticon ~ Jamie #LifestyleMatters #Carrots #Juicing #GetHealthy #Cancer #TheCancerFreeWay #PlantBasedDiet...
