Right now everyone's talking about a "new year, new you." While that makes for some catchy ad copy, there's really no way-no matter what you do-to start over and get a new you. We're all, each one of us, stuck with ourselves. But there's hope! Just take a deep breath and try working toward the less impossible, more achievable goal of a new year, a better you ... one day (even just one baby step) at a time.

That's what Dawn Russell, creator of 8G Greens Superfood Supplement, aims for-even if she does end up grabbing a burger from her favorite joint, In-N-Out. After being diagnosed with cancer at age 25, Russell started writing a new chapter in her book of life and began her wellness journey. Of all that she learned along the way to remission, she decided to take her knowledge of-and life-changing experience with-nutrient-dense foods and come up with a way to share it with everyone.

Now a business owner, mother of two and avid racecar driver, Russell is offering the results of many years of research and development with her nutritional supplement that packs a ton of greens and vitamins into one tablet that effervesces in water and makes boosting your daily intake of greens a whole lot easier. (Baby step #1.) Not to mention it's lemon flavored!

Russell gave us some time to talk about everything from the importance of each green in the supplement to her favorite cookie recipes and her secret for a happy, healthy life.
