Dr. Dena Mendes is a well-respected public health specialist and advisor. She is a cancer survivor who bravely combines alternative with traditional therapies. Dena has heroically been kicking breast, bone, lung and brain cancer's ass for over a decade. Her journey to not just great feeling but great looking health is due to her holistic way of life and her gutsy attitude!
Dena refers to all medical diagnoses as 'health-awakening opportunities' in which you get to turn yourself inside out and become someone new. Dr. Mendes took her own health awakening opportunity and turned it into a gift to share with others. Through her books, motivational speaking engagements, media appearances and cooking demonstrations she is committed to guiding others through their own health awakening experience!
Dena shares the health with her first book (available for free download on her Web site), "The Wellness Cookbook for a Healthy U". In it she shows how to make quick, easy and absolutely delicious recipes with U. Her acclaimed book, "A Survivors Guide to Kicking Cancer’s Ass", is available nationwide. Dr. Dena is busy these days finishing her most recent (available soon) book, "Kicking Cancer’s Butt for Kids; It’s a Family Book Where Kids Come First".
Dr. Mendes is also licensed and certified as a Health Coach, Holistic yoga instructor, Holistic Chef and Pranic healer. Dena received her degree in broadcast journalism and public health from Arizona State University, has attended prestigious alternative health programs at Harvard and Northwestern Universities and holds a Doctor of Naturopathy degree.
