Live Whole Be Well, founded by Melissa Mendez, CTNC, coaches you on how to turn your health and wellness into something that gets you jumping out of bed every morning, feeling better and healthier, and minimizing symptoms of chronic illness.


After being diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (bone marrow failure aka cancer) and then Acute Myeloid Leukemia, I immediately went into research mode – I read, studied, interviewed, researched and through trial and error, created a sustainable, long-lasting integrative wellness routine that has allowed me and hundreds of other women to overcome chronic health issues and truly thrive in health and life!


Hi, I’m Melissa!


I’m a Certified Transformational Nutrition Coach, focusing on Total Wellness and Cancer, and I’ve been geeking out on everything health and wellness since 2015.

I believe we truly have the power to change our lives by adopting a healthy lifestyle (that still includes chocolate 😊).

Progress is better than perfect, showing up even when it’s scary, NOT having to do all the things, and finding YOUR best self through connection, growth, and community.

When it comes to health and wellness there always seems to be another must-do diet or workout craze. My guess is, you’ve got a lot on your plate (pun not intended, or is it?). Eat this, not that, do this, not that, take this, not that. It’s overwhelming!

After suffering from psoriasis, colitis, food intolerances, food allergies, Sweet’s Syndrome, Breast Implant Illness, Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), and Leukemia (AML), I’ve learned a few things (okay, a LOT of things) about where women get stuck/stalled/stressed out and how to get them in a better place physically and mentally.

My job is to help you simplify your options of healing, create a healthy & sustainable lifestyle that you feel confident enough about what you’re doing to finally see some HEALING!
