Leah Evert shares her story with Adam about overcoming stage 4 cancer and how she approached that challenge and trauma in her life, both from a physical approach as well as a perspective approach.
In 2017, Leah was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer and told she had two years to live.
Nearly four years later and instead, she’s thriving. Using her experience as a dietitian, exercise physiologist, and wellbeing expert, Leah crafted a strategy of resilience to help her reach total remission. Her formula for success using nutrition, exercise, mindset, kindness, authenticity, and love is detailed in her book, Nourishing Resilience, a 2020 Amazon # 1 new release. She believes it has helped her to beat the odds despite initially being given a one to four percent chance of survival.
Leah has been working with companies and individuals on nutrition and wellness for over fifteen years. She’s worked with multiple global organizations on their employee health and wellness strategy including Marriott International, Hilton Worldwide, Johns Hopkins, and ExxonMobil. She’s currently the head of global health and wellness at McCormick, Inc.
She’s also the co-founder of The Willow Foundation, which provides funding to researchers that strive to find a connection between diet, exercise, and mindset with improved outcomes for late-stage cancer patients.
Leah holds an MBA from the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University, a master’s degree in Sports Nutrition and Exercise Science, and a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science. She’s a former division-one athlete and medical officer in the United States Army Reserves.
