Ricki Heller is an educator, author and anti-candida nutritionist. As part of her Sweet Life program, Ricki advocates for a diet free of high-glycemic sweeteners, refined sugars, caffeine, and many other food types to ensure long-lasting and vibrant health. She also argues for the widespread normalization of vegan and gluten-free dishes, rather than them being the exception to the rule on restaurant menus and the potluck table.

In this episode, Ricki explains why we need to overhaul our diets, dissects how staples like sugars can negatively impact our systems, and suggests some handy tips for making “non-traditional” meals the norm at parties and gatherings.
