“She has put together a whole nutrition plan for me,” he explained to People.
His wife recently launched her own holistic wellness company, Live Well Lead Well, “so my refrigerator has color-coded foods, nutritious protein,” he went on.
Melissa has also made another big change to her husband’s meals: “She’s taken all the sugar out of my diet.”
The company came about after she “hit it off” with Fuller House production assistant Melanie Samuels, who then became a nutritionist.
“Mel and Mel got together and they realized, ‘We’re on kind of the same journey here, why don’t we do something together?’ So they started this company, Live Well Lead Well,” he explained to the outlet, adding that he told his wife, “‘Maybe that’s why you started this company so that you could help me.’ I mean, it’s kind of incredible timing.”
In an Instagram post, Melissa wrote about how she’s helping her husband amid his diagnosis: “We’re focusing on fueling his body with real whole foods, cutting out refined sugar & processed foods, spending time in nature, and incorporating infrared saunas, breathwork, and massages to support Dave’s strength and comfort.”
She added, “Dave’s resilience inspires me every day, and together, we’re doing everything to support his recovery — with plenty of laughter to keep spirits high.”
We are wishing Dave the best in his fight, and continued wellness.
