I first discovered I had a Candida overgrowth in 2013, a realization that turned my life upside down. I tried the ‘seek and kill’ approach with restrictive diets and antifungal herbs in an effort to find balance in my body many times. Unfortunately, my well-meaning efforts ended up causing more harm than good. I was in such a hurry to get better and resume my normal life and diet, that I was perhaps a bit extreme.

It was such a BIG adjustment dropping all sugar and fruit because I was a vegan at the time and my food options were already so limited.

The intense restriction and healing reactions of the common Candida protocols were very hard on my body and shut me down for days at a time. I was so depleted. After putting myself through torture time and time again, I realized I needed to soften my approach.

I discovered Lakanto in reading the Body Ecology Diet by Donna Gates. This book helped me in so many ways!

I can’t tell you how happy I was when I first got my hands on a bag of Lakanto and began experimenting. Ah, the simple things, it brought back so much joy into my life!

I’ve continued to use Lakanto because, while I do enjoy some fruit now, I am committed to a sugar-free lifestyle for LIFE. I’ve seen what havoc sugar can do to our bodies and minds and I know that there are much healthier options. I’m constantly introducing my clients, friends and loved ones to this miracle sweeter. Making treats with Lakanto and bringing them to parties has helped me feel more human but also helped others realize that there are sugar substitutes that actually taste good and as a bonus are good for you! Even the food biggest critic, my Dad, has enjoyed sugar-free treats!

Thank you Lakanto for bringing the sweetness back into my life!
