candida diet motivation

When you think, “I deserve it!”

by Ricki Heller Leave a Comment

I hear this story from clients all the time. Maybe you’ve been following a healthy diet because of some condition, like Lyme disease, candida overgrowth, SIBO or something else. Or maybe you need to follow a low-histamine diet, a low-oxalate diet or some other “free-from” diet, like gluten-free, sugar-free, or whatever. You start the diet […]

The Power of One

by Ricki Heller Leave a Comment

When you’re first told you need to change your diet for health reasons, it can feel like you’ve been dumped into a huge vat of chocolate with a collection of random tools and utensils floating everywhere and you have to try to fish through everything at once and create some kind of order. In other […]

How your mindset affects your diet

by Ricki Heller Leave a Comment

Ricki in a turquose shirt talking about how mindset affects food choices

I love stories of people who “made it” later in life. For instance, did you know that Julia Child didn’t publish her first cookbook until she was 50? Laura Ingalls Wilder didn’t publish her first Little House book (which became the TV show Little House on the Prairie) until she was 65. Grandma Moses didn’t […]

Does your food do this for you?

by Ricki Heller Leave a Comment

Now that I’m an (ahem) mature woman who has been with my spouse for almost two dozen years, I can honestly say that I don’t know a single female friend who doesn’t have at least one cringe-worthy relationship in her past.  What’s usually worse, most of us have had the same cringe-worthy relationship. ..several times, […]

How to Deal with Setbacks, Part One

by Ricki Heller Leave a Comment

Ricki looks aside while talking about dealing with setbacks.

Ever since I first started my anti-candida diet, I’ve been asked this question countless times (before the ACD, the most common question I was asked was, “When are you due?” Yes, really.). This week, on my YouTube channel, I was asked once again in the comments: “Can you show us what you eat?” In this […]

Two key shifts that helped me clear my candida

by Ricki Heller 4 Comments

Ricki talking about how she cleared her candida

The other day, I had a sudden realization: although I often refer to myself as “95% symptom-free, 99% of the time,” it has actually been over a year since my last symptom flare-up. Ever since I first healed from candida in 2010 (I started the diet and protocol in 2009), I always felt that candida […]

My top 4 tips for cooking healthy over the holidays

by Ricki Heller Leave a Comment

Ricki talks about cooking for restricted diets over the holidays

Does this pattern sound familiar? You take the time to buy all the foods you need to stay healthy throughout the year. It’s sometimes a bit of a challenge, but overall, you manage to stick with it and eat foods that support your health. The more you eat those healthy-for-you foods, the better you feel. […]

The 2 Key Questions to Ask to Stay on Track

by Ricki Heller 2 Comments

Ricki explains what questions to ask to stick with it for life

For so many of the clients I deal with, the idea of eating healthfully seems fraught with all kinds of hurdles that interfere with the best of intentions. You want to stick with healthy eating, but sometimes it’s too hard when everyone else around you is eating “regular” food. Other times, there are insensitive people […]

Why Self-Care Doesn’t Work (and What To Do Instead)

by Ricki Heller 2 Comments

Ricki gestures about why self-care doesn't work

Have you heard that self-care is essential if you want to really want to maintain optimum health and allow yourself the best chance of sticking with healthy habits–including eating a healthy diet? Well, I’ve heard the same thing. And while taking bubble baths or walks in nature are great, it seems to me that what […]
