In 2004, after battling two incurable diseases, Marisa began to look for alternative treatments. She was reccommended the book Controlling Crohn’s Disease The Natural Way by Virginia Harper a story of a woman’s healing journey through the teachings of macrobiotics. Becoming inspired she said “I can do this too!” It’s been 5 years and Marisa is living a happy, symptom free life!

Marisa has held two local titles in the Miss America Organization: Miss Spirit of New York 2006 and Miss Jubilee 2007 and has placed in the top ten two years in the Miss New York State Pageant.

"We don't live to eat, we eat to live! Our bodies are our temple, and we should respect everything we feed it. However, who says we can't enjoy ourselves at the same time? I am hopeful my blog will give some useful insight from the perspective of someone who really knows nothing, other than her own life experiences. Like the saying, if I can do it...anyone can do it. With a little bit of humor, sarcasm, and sometimes a life lesson, here's to a journey in the making."
