Creating a Healthier Future Population, One Child at a Time
FYN originated from a mission with a clear purpose: to emphasize to caregivers the critical importance of ensuring their children consume the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vegetables from an early age. Subsequently, we assist children in comprehending this concept through FYN and her team of wellness warriors, illustrating how specific foods aid their "Ninjas" in fulfilling their duties.
Enter the world of our Ninjas, vibrant and agile characters who exemplify the choices we make when it comes to food. They illustrate how some foods, the ones we should choose often, bestow upon them alertness and boundless energy.
The genesis of "How to Feed Your Ninjas" came from deep scientific exploration into the reasons behind our need to embrace vegetables and other nutritious foods. We wanted to uncover what these little warriors require to maintain their relentless quest to keep us in good health. Rooted in scientific evidence, it became clear that, while it’s important to consume many types of foods, the nutrients found in whole plant foods, coupled with regular physical activity, are the keys to keeping our Ninjas activated and thriving.
To make the science tangible and engaging, we armed our Ninjas with Bananas and Asparagus Spears, demonstrating how these foods can act as potent tools to fend off disease-causing invaders. We turned complex scientific concepts into captivating visuals.
Our aspiration extends beyond a mere concept; it's a movement we are fervently nurturing. Currently, we are hard at work crafting Activity Books, thoughtfully designed for teachers and parents to use as additional tools. These stories aim to inspire children to voluntarily take responsibility for the health and well-being of their Ninjas.
The first steps on our journey delved deep into the realms of nutrition and exercise. Now, as we prepare for the next steps, we turn our focus towards the emotional well-being of our Ninjas. This will explore the profound impact of Acts of Kindness, Gratitude, and Joy. It will delve into the feelings derived from positive emotions, such as the warmth of gratitude, the joy of happiness, and the fulfillment that comes from performing acts of kindness. We emphasize the ripple effect of kindness, not only benefiting the recipient but also the giver, spreading positivity far and wide.
But our mission doesn't stop there. We envision creating idols, relatable figures that resonate with the young minds we aim to inspire. These idols will embody empowerment, serving as beacons of inspiration for our children to follow, as they embark on their own quests to nurture the health and happiness of their Ninjas, and in doing so, themselves.

I seem to have formed this weird intense desire to help others understand the importance of nutrition and how it affects their overall health. I guess I found purpose in the hand adversity dealt.
I have found purpose and discovered I am living my true authentic self. Nothing is more freeing than that. Read more about me (below) and why I stepped into this challenging journey.

The “Austin Artist“
Mike has added a whole new level of creativity to my vision, and I feel truly fortunate to have met him. I deeply admire the way he stays true to his authentic self, embracing his Comanche heritage and honoring his incredible talents. I’m excited for the opportunity to collaborate on more projects that will inspire children to Feed Their Ninjas.
“Greetings, I'm Tracy
I may not have taken the traditional academic route to study health and nutrition, but what I bring to the table is something deeply personal—and proven. My education came from lived experience, relentless curiosity, and a drive to heal. Years ago, long before the internet offered instant answers, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition. At the time, all I knew for sure was that moving my body made me feel better. That simple truth became my foundation.
Later, when a doctor warned me of a possible cancer diagnosis, I turned to research—and discovered the work of Dr. Otto Warburg. His theory on the link between cancer and acidic environments lit a fire in me. I adopted a whole-food, plant-forward lifestyle and embraced a “glass-half-full” mindset. The result? Over two decades of living symptom-free, without relying on pharmaceutical intervention.
My hunger to understand why this worked grew even stronger when someone close to me faced a serious illness. Around the same time, the pandemic made the word immunocompromised part of our daily vocabulary. I found myself asking: What exactly is the immune system, and how can we truly support it?
So, I dove deep. I studied immune function, nutritional science, and the emotional factors that influence health. I won’t rattle off citations here (you can find those on my reference page), but what I discovered changed the way I see health—and inspired a new way to share that knowledge.
That’s when the Ninjas were born.
I realized that while it can be hard to help adults change long-held habits, kids are eager, curious, and full of imagination. So I created the How to Feed Your Ninjas project—a playful, science-backed way to teach children how to build strong immune systems from the inside out.
Imagine a child’s body as a battlefield, and their immune cells as stealthy, strong Ninjas—fighting off illness 24/7. These warriors thrive on spinach, kale, bananas, and asparagus spears—not candy and soda. They multiply with exercise, and they grow even stronger when we practice kindness, gratitude, and joy.
My mission is simple: help children build lifelong habits that support their immune systems, while also working to provide real, nourishing food to those who need it most. That’s why a portion of proceeds from FYN resources will support a future initiative: Ninja Shakes. These nutrient-packed drinks will be donated to child-focused nonprofits, reaching kids affected by food insecurity.
I’m also currently pursuing my Nutritionist Certification to deepen my impact and bring even more value to the families and communities I serve. Because in the end, this isn’t just about food—it’s about empowerment, prevention, and creating a healthier generation from the ground up.
So, remember, Feed Your Ninjas and join us in shaping a healthier, brighter future.
