Do you suffer from symptoms like…

SUGAR CRAVINGS

Bloating

Mental fog

Fatigue

Chronic sinus infections

Excess mucus

Hypothyroidism

Food or environmental allergies

Depression and anxiety?

If so, you could be dealing with an overgrowth of an opportunistic yeast called Candida Albicans. You may have read online about the anti-candida diet, or perhaps you’ve even tried it to no avail. I’ve been there myself.  But I want you to know no matter what you’ve tried before, there is hope.

You CAN kick candida for good.

In fact, today’s podcast guest, Christa Orecchio, creator of the Whole Journey and the Kick Candida for Good Program knows alll about it as she has helped thousands of people heal their candida. Even and especially the tough cases. Her program is the best one I’ve ever found.

So tune in and learn how to tell if you have candida, (she even created a cutting-edge quiz you can take), WHY it matters, and what you need to do to get it out of your life forever.

In Health,

Did you know that 1 out of 5 Caucasian children will have Type 2 Diabetes by age 12?

For African Americans, the number is 1 out of 2.

Justin has spent the last 7 years dedicated to researching and optimizing human health and has transformed the lives of hundreds of people and kids all across America.

According to Dr. Michelle Perro….

"Eating processed foods that are high in carbs, sugar and hollow calories is the first problem but not the main problem. The more insidious danger is foods that are full of pesticides hormones and antibiotics.”

Now Dr. Perro is not someone who has always thought this way. Though she’s been a pediatrician for over 35 years, it took her own son’s illness for her to understand the incredible importance of organic foods. Since she’s incorporated organic foods into her recommendations (and other strategies) for kids suffering from autism and other cognitive disorders, mental health issues and illnesses like eczema, the transformations have been ASTOUNDING!

So astounding that she felt compelled to team up with vice-chair of Medical Anthropology at the University of California, San Francisco, Dr. Vincanne Adams to write a book all about the dangers of our industrial food system called What’s Making Our Children Sick? How Industrial Food Is Causing an Epidemic of Chronic Illnesses and What Parents (and Doctors) Can Do About It.
