In this episode, Tony and I discuss something so many of us are concerned with, and that is Candida. We discuss the many myths about Candida and how it’s NOT as simple as avoiding sugar (though that is important to a degree.) You’ll also learn the real truth about the cause of it and how to heal.

Next, we have my very special guest Ken Cook who is a widely sought public speaker on environmental health issues. Ken is responsible for the Dirty Dozen and Skin Deep database, which you may have heard me refer to in my blogs over the years. Listen in as Ken shares how he founded EWG and what inspired him to pursue this nonprofit group.

About Ken Cook

Ken Cook is president and co-founder of Environmental Working Group and is widely recognized as one of the environmental community’s most prominent and influential critics of industrial agriculture, U.S. food and farm policy and the nation’s broken approach to protecting families and children from toxic substances.

Under Cook’s leadership over the past 20 years, EWG has pioneered the use of digital technologies to expose the harms done by misconceived crop subsidies, crop insurance and runaway agricultural pollution. The organization has also empowered American families with easy-to-use, data-driven tools to help reduce their exposure to potentially harmful ingredients in foods, drinking water, cosmetics and other household products.

Cook is a widely sought public speaker on these and other environmental health issues and is frequently cited for the outsized impact that his and EWG’s work has had on policy debates.
