How I Became
a Colonoscopy
Enthusiast

I'm Brooks Bell — Alaskan, cancer survivor, data nerd, and the most enthusiastic colonoscopy advocate you'll ever meet.

Cancer survivor.
Serial entrepreneur.
Colonoscopy convert.

At 38, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer. Two doctors told me it was hemorrhoids. A third saved my life. That experience didn't just change me — it turned me into a woman on a mission.

Before cancer, I spent 16 years building and running Brooks Bell Inc., a data analytics and A/B testing company that generated over $2 billion in value for the world's largest brands. I know how to use data to change behavior — and now I use that skill to get people to schedule colonoscopies.

"96% of colon cancers start as polyps — and they can be snipped out on the spot. You simply cannot get colon cancer while you are polyp-free."

What I talk about

How I Became a Colonoscopy Enthusiast

Stage 3 colon cancer at 38, two doctors who got it wrong, six months of surgery and chemo — and what I discovered when I became obsessed with why colon cancer is skyrocketing in young people and what can actually stop it. Real data, dark humor, and a clear call to action that has measurable public health impact.

A speaker who's been there

I've spoken at conferences, health summits, corporate events, and the DNC. One talk, carefully built over years — and only available live.

Audiences leave with actionable knowledge — and usually at least one new thing to talk about at dinner.

Worldclass

After cancer, I kept asking myself: why aren't more people getting screened? The answer wasn't a lack of information — it was a lack of cool. So I started Worldclass: the first streetwear brand in colonoscopy history.

It's a non-profit that uses fashion, humor, and branding to make colon cancer screening impossible to ignore. 100% of profits fund colonoscopy access for underinsured communities.
