In December 2017, my life changed with three words: “You have cancer.” That moment launched me into a world of uncertainty — but it also ignited something powerful inside me.

I'm Justine Brackenrig, founder of My Cancer Kitchen and Renewed Resilience Coaching. As a stage 4 breast cancer thriver, I know the fear, overwhelm, and loneliness that often come with a diagnosis. But I also know something else: healing is possible.

I created My Cancer Kitchen to show you that food can be more than fuel—it can be medicine. What began as a personal mission to heal my own body has transformed into a movement, empowering thousands to reclaim their health using the same six pillars that helped me go from cancer patient to cancer-free:

• The Ketogenic Diet – Starving cancer cells by removing sugar and fuelling my body with nutrient-dense fats

• Plant Medicine – Harnessing nature’s healing powers through essential oils and herbal remedies

• Targeted Supplementation – Supporting immunity and recovery with personalised, evidence-based nutrients

• Exercise & Movement – Using strength training and walking to detox, strengthen, and energise

• Eliminating Toxic Exposure – Detoxing my home, liver, and life from harmful chemicals

• Mental Wellbeing – Finding peace and purpose through mindfulness, breathwork, and mindset shifts

Every recipe, video, and product I share comes from this framework—a real, lived experience that turned my kitchen into a sanctuary of healing.

Whether you're facing cancer now, supporting a loved one, or looking to prevent chronic disease, My Cancer Kitchen is here to nourish, educate, and empower you. Through cooking demonstrations, online programs, and carefully crafted resources, you’ll learn how to take back control of your health—one nourishing bite at a time.
