It can be incredibly frustrating. Your practitioner commands you to eliminate a whole list of foods from your diet so that you can improve your digestion, symptoms, and overall health. It sounds nearly impossible–you mean, you want me to take out gluten? But what about bread? Bagels? Cereal? Pasta? PIZZA???. Or it could be dairy […]
Can You Love Food TOO Much?
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? Being told that you have to cut out most (or all) of your favorite foods because of a health condition can be truly devastating.

July 8, 2018 by Leave a Comment
I’ve heard it over and over from so many of my clients. They start out really well on an anti-candida diet and really stick with it. Over time, they begin to feel better (yay!). They’re determined to be clear of candida forever. Over time, their symptoms improve, or maybe disappear entirely. And they really do […]

Candida Diet Myths #3: Starchy Vegetables
April 12, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Recently, while I was going through a 10-day detox (I’ll post about it here anon), I shared some of my meals on instagram. 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 […]
Staying Healthy When Traveling (Even Last Minute!) on a Restricted Diet
February 25, 2018 by 8 Comments
[image source: Pixabay] I recently took an impromptu trip to the US for a dear relative’s funeral. This wasn’t my typical kind of travel when I have my packing list out a week before departure, slowly purchasing all the ingredients so I can prepare dehydrated Alkalizing Kale and Seaweed Crackers or my favorite Breakfast Cookies […]

January 6, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Today’s video covers a topic close to my heart (and stomach): candida and cravings. Why do we crave what we crave?

December 14, 2017 by 4 Comments
We all know that too much sugar is bad for us. In fact, I haven’t eaten sugar since 2009. But why would someone who eats only low glycemic sweeteners cut those out, too? As someone who follows a modified anti-candida diet and has no plans to change that any time soon, I’m already eating a […]

Today’s video is Part 3 in the 3-part series all about probiotics. Part One discussed the different sources of probiotics and how to find them, while Part Two covered which types to take and when to take them.
