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."
Brooks Bell, Western NC Keynote, March 2025

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.
