Follow Your Passions: Brain Cancer Warrior, Elliott Howell, on how having 8-10 years to live made him rethink everything.

You never know when you’re going to wake up one day with a brain tumour, so stop waiting to live your life until the timing seems right, and start living it NOW. That is Elliott's message - having survived brain surgery and and deciding to go all-in on inspiring others through his photography and his love of life. Elliott Howell is a travel, product, and brand photographer who was living a beautiful, full life until one fateful Sunday night when he had a seizure and within moments, his entire life changed. He was rushed to the hospital where he spent the next 20 hours undergoing all kinds of tests and scans, finally to discover that he has a massive 2.5-inch cancerous brain tumour. Elliott had awake brain surgery and then had to go through radiation. With the help from his friends and his GoFundMe, Elliott went all in on his recovery: reorienting his diet, and quitting his job. Now, years later, his MRI looks great - the scan is stable and there’s no sign of anything to worry about. He continues to do a low-carb, zero-sugar, no alcohol diet and goes to the gym multiple times per week. He's ramping up work again as a visual artist with brands in the lifestyle and travel spaces (products, hotels, tourism boards, agencies). His portfolio is here , and his Instagram is here . In this show we talk about what diet did for his health, what he learnt from a diagnosis giving him 8-10 years to live, and how it feels to face such difficult news. Hosted on Acast.
