Stacy Martin: Becoming a Seahorse- Navigating an NIH Clinical Trial for Stomach Cancer

In this episode of The Clinical Research Coach, host Leanne Woehlke sits down with Stacy Martin, who shares her journey of entering a clinical trial. Stacy talks about her mother’s stage 4 uterine cancer diagnosis, which led to genetic testing that revealed a hereditary mutation called CDH1. This mutation increased the likelihood of cancer in Stacy and her siblings. Stacy describes the moment she discovered she was CDH1 positive, the challenges she faced afterward, and the lessons she learned through the clinical trial process. No longer having a stomach, Stacy has to eat more frequently to keep her energy up. Becoming a "professional snacker" led her to turn her newfound snacking habit into a business and Seahorse Snacks was born. Seahorse Snacks makes healthy delicious roasted nuts with unique and unusual flavors.To Connect with Stacy:Stacy [email protected] In:https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacy-martin-461b33a/Seahorse Snacks:https://seahorsesnacks.com/Instagram: @seahorse_snacksTikTok: @seahorse_snacks
