August 9, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Is it harder to stick with your restricted diet if you happen to really (really, REALLY) love food?

When I posted one of my meals that contained sweet potatoes, almost immediately, I was met with a comment: “You can’t eat sweet potatoes on an anti-candida diet. They’re too high in […]
Candida Diet Myths #2: How Long Will It Take?
March 17, 2018 by Leave a Comment
One of the first things I’m asked when someone signs up for a program or coaching is, “How long will I have to stay on the diet?” What they’re really asking (I know this because it’s exactly what I asked, too) is, “How long will I have to stay on the diet before I’m completely […]
