Hi and welcome to our channel Beetin' Genes! We are two sisters/best friends living in Albuquerque, NM. We share a passion of health, wellness, family and the love of a whole foods plant based lifestyle.
In 2015 we both discovered we had been born with an extremely rare genetic mutation, CDH1. It puts us at an 75% chance of developing Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer and a 46% chance of Lobular Breast Cancer.
In April 2020, Polly had a bilateral mastectomy and will be having a total gastrectomy in March 2022. Taylor is currently pursuing mastectomy.
Even though we have taken the approach of preventative surgeries we feel that eating a clean, balanced, plant based, organic, diet is imperative for a healthy lifestyle. And may help to prevent cancers in other parts of our bodies.
We hope that we can motivate others who may have genetic disorders, chronic illnesses, or just a health goal they want to reach. Follow us and we can work on being the best we can be - together!
