Cancer + Wellness series: Episode 1 – Meet Surfer Mick

Mick Von Doxatater, aka “Surfer Mick,” is a surfer, chef and world traveler with a holistic approach to food and its healing potential.

Diet for Cancer Patients - Cancer Wellness - Mary Free Bed“The same foods that build you up and keep you strong are the same foods that will restore you when you get hit with a life-threatening illness, or when you’re coming back from an injury,” Mick says. “Choose your foods wisely and your family will benefit.”

Meet Mick in the first episode of our ongoing video series, inspired by the Mary Free Bed Cancer + Wellness Program.

Cancer + Wellness is an innovative pilot program fusing gentle exercise with nutritional education. It is funded through Mary Free Bed and a grant from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. The program is for cancer patients at all stages; newly diagnosed, in treatment or post treatment.

You can learn more about Surfer Mick and holistic living at the Hot Sand Volleyball Tournament & Wellness Day Speaker Series on Saturday, Aug. 22, at Pere Marquette Park in Muskegon.
