This is me. My name is Lisa Davis. This is me. I have spent thirty years working at the intersection of art, technology, and business. I am a multimedia artist, a program manager, and a marketer. My career has spanned everything from early digital design to leading NewPath, a software company that builds tools for trauma. I am highly technical, and I am highly creative. I spend my life building systems to help other people meet their goals.

But for a long time, I couldn’t map my own.

The day I turned 41, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I underwent a full mastectomy. I didn’t seek help afterward because I thought Google and I could handle it. That was a mistake. I was anxious. I was traumatized. I showered in the dark. Now at 55, almost 15 years later, I still do.

In the silent storm I was holding, my body changed. I gained 80 pounds. I developed Type 2 diabetes. My A1C climbed to dangerous levels. I started having back trouble, foot trouble, and organ trouble, pancreatitis, then the removal of my gallbladder. I once took a selfie with Steve Wozniak, a hero of mine, and never shared it because I realized our waists were nearing the same size. The shame was quiet, but it was heavy.

I tried to fix it the way we are told to fix it: Weight loss.

I tried colon cleanses, beef organs, collagen, mushroom powders, yoga, meditation. I tried to starve the weight off. It never worked because “weight loss” is a stress signal. It tells the body there is a famine.

Then it slowly started to occur to me that I wasn’t embracing the whole situation. I didn’t solely need to lose weight. I needed to replace my cells.

I am now embarking on a 52-week project to rejuvenate my body, cell by cell. I am applying the same project management discipline I use in my career to my own biology. This is not about being skinny. It is about the science of cellular turnover. Every tissue in the body, from the liver to the skin, regenerates at a specific speed. If you give the body the right raw materials and remove the interference, it rebuilds itself.

If this interests you, there are three ways you can join me on this journey.

1. The Free Overview: The “New You” Timeline Most plans treat your body like a statue that needs to be chipped away at. But you are not a statue. You are a river. Every second, millions of your cells die, and millions of new ones are born. I have created a visual guide called “The New You Timeline.” It maps out how long it takes for your body to replace itself, from your gut lining (3 days) to your blood cells (4 months) to your skeleton (10 years). It explains the philosophy of the project.

2. The Tool: The 52-Week Workbook ($19) If you want to do this work yourself, I have compiled my entire system strategy into a digital workbook. You do not need me to hold your hand; you just need the plan. This download includes:

• The full 52-week roadmap (one metabolic focus per week).

• The tracking sheets I use for my own data.

• It is a standalone tool. You download it, and you get started.

3. The Documentation I am doing this publicly because I know I am not the only one who is tired of short-term fixes. You don’t need to join a group. You can just follow my personal profile. I will be posting about the weekly habits, the science, and my own ups and downs as I go.

As a disclaimer, I am not a doctor. I am an artist, a technical project manager, a wife and mother, and a regular person trying to lower damage faster than it accumulates. You are welcome to watch, or you are welcome to walk with me.
