Your Trainer – Jen

I have been involved in sports and fitness my entire life and for the past twelve years I have been blessed enough to work as coach, personal trainer, teacher and Medical Exercise Specialist.  There is no health issue more personal to me than that of cancer, and because of my personal experiences of losing loved ones, I am fully committed to making a difference for those who want to fight this awful illness. That’s why I launched the Cancer Champion program. Cancer Champion is an online program for cancer fighters and survivors and those simply hoping to avoid ever having cancer. This program provides 5,10 and 20 minute workouts and 52 weeks worth of meal plans. Along with this participants will receive weekly live calls with me and the Cancer Champion nutritionist Damian Bramer.  

My mother, my father, Ann and so many others I have had the honor to work with are truly the reason that Cancer Champion came to be.

Your Nutritionist – Damian

I have been involved in nutrition for over 20 years and in the last 6 years I have been lucky enough to work professionally in this field as a nutrition consultant and coach. I have worked with many different people suffering from a variety of conditions. This includes those currently in treatment for cancer and those looking to avoid a re-occurrence. It is hard to imagine that there is anyone still left that has not in some way been impacted by this disease and it is becoming harder and harder to ignore the importance of nutrition for cancer care.

As Cancer Champions came to fruition, I was thrilled when asked to be a part of it.  Having the opportunity to be a positive part of ones cancer journey is a true honor.

Your Nutritionist – Kristina

Kristina Sampson is a Certified Oncology Nutrition Consultant, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, founder of www.thevaildiet.com and Functional Cancer Nutrition (website coming soon), and author of Leave Cancer in the Dust: 50 Tips to Prevent Breast Cancer and Supercharge Your Health.

Since 2007, Kris has been challenged several times with a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer, and has used a combination of conventional and alternative treatments and modalities to help her heal.

Her first diagnosis in 2007 taught Kristina that life is too short to postpone following her passion. She began her formal nutrition education shortly after ending treatment and shared her knowledge through her website and health coaching practice. Since then she has begun focusing on helping those dealing with cancer or who are trying to prevent the disease. With her clients, she promotes eating a low-glycemic diet that includes real, nutrient-dense, and high-quality food; reducing exposure to toxins in both diet and environment; being physically active; and incorporating one’s own unique approach to spirituality into his/her life.

Kristina received her health-coaching certificate from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in 2014 and her Oncology Nutrition Consultant certification from the Oncology Nutrition Institute in July 2019. She is also currently pursuing a Masters degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine at the University of Western States in Portland, OR and expects to finish in summer 2020.
