Sandy Clubb

Cookware Specialist

The roles that nutrition and proper food preparation play in our health are topics Sandy Clubb has firsthand knowledge of. In 2007, Sandy was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and while treating her cancer with traditional therapy, she focused heavily on biofeedback and an intensive nutritional program.

Sandy’s success promoted her to redirect her company, Cookware Health Clubb Inc., toward teaching the astonishing benefits that whole-plant nutrition has to offer in conjunction with proper equipment and food preparation techniques. Both food choices and the actual cooking process can have a dramatic effect on one’s health and attitude in the kitchen.

A true foodie, cookware specialist, and certified Food for Life instructor (through the Education Partner Alliance between Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine & Saladmaster), Sandy has brought her personal experience and passion to those seeking information to enjoy a healthier, easier lifestyle and more delicious meals by changing (or enhancing) what we eat, the way we cook, and what we cook in.

Ocean Cay,
MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

Welcome to Your Own Private Island

Friday, March 14, 2025

Ocean Cay, MSC Marine Reserve is founded on a deep commitment to ecological principles that shape everything from how the venues are built and how the island is run, to the kinds of activities featured on the island.

Formerly a sand extraction site, MSC Cruises has made significant efforts to clear the island and the surrounding ocean bed from all discarded debris – while removing a total of 7,500 tons of scrap metal – and relocating coral with the longer-term vision of encouraging coral to grow and repopulate. These efforts will give guests the opportunity to learn about the protection of the oceans and the importance of preserving coral reefs through dedicated edutainment programs.
