Diane August had been a healthy eater her entire life, but, inexplicably, her weight began spiraling out of control. After years of fruitless trips to doctors who met her condition with skepticism, she was diagnosed with Candidiasis (or Candida), an overgrowth of yeast in the body that wreaks havoc on the immune system when left unchecked. Finally, with a compassionate doctor and a diagnosis in hand, Diane was able remedy her condition. Her research led her to the work of John Parks Trowbridge, MD, and Morton Walker, DPM, and introduced her to a four-phase diet to help regulate the yeast growth. This helped her understand that to keep her immune system safe, she had to cut yeast, fermented foods, gluten and sugar out of her diet and make other adjustments in regimented "phases." The FREE Cookbook picks up where Trowbridge and Walker left off, expanding their four-phase diet into a delicious collection of easy-to-follow, Candida-friendly, and gluten-free recipes for the entire family.
