Makenzie had a childhood filled with chronic allergies, food sensitivities, and digestive issues. The lymph nodes in her wrists and armpits were always swollen, her joints would ache, and her mind was foggy. 

Whenever she would eat sugar or starchy carbohydrates like rice, beans, or potato her mouth and neck would break out in a large rash and leave her feeling so exhausted that she’d have to lay down for a nap after each meal.

 Unable to resist the sugar cravings, but afraid of the negative symptoms these foods would have on her, she found herself purging after each meal. At age 15 Makenzie battled with bulimia.

Two years ago she started on the GAPS diet. With many of her chronic health issues behind her now, she still can’t seem to shake off the feeling that there is a residual fungal infection laying dormant in her body. This is often the case with Candida. Dietary changes can help mitigate and control physical symptoms of Candida but the tyrannical cravings for sugar never disappear.

 Inner conflict still exists as long as Candida fungus hides out in your body hijacking your nervous system and influencing your brain function. As soon as you have a taste for something sweet the cravings suffocate your willpower and you can’t seem to resist. Next thing you know you are devouring an entire box of cookies, totally out of control…

 There is no ‘starving out’ Candida fungus with an anti-candida diet.

 It can lay dormant in your body for years constantly encouraging you to ‘fall off the band wagon.’ Often times people find themselves yo-yo dieting riddled with feelings of guilt and defeat when they don’t succeed. If this is happening to you, please don’t beat yourself up about it! You are up against a powerful fungal dictator! So naturally you are going to need help to completely irradiate the fungal colony and reclaim your sovereignty.

Tune into Makenzie’s story of why she decided to cleanse even though she didn’t have any current obvious symptoms of Candida. On the outside it may have looked like she was in perfect health, that her health complications were left behind in her adolescent years, but on the inside there was still a residual fungal infection in hibernation patiently waiting for her to slip up…

Thank you so much Makenzie for sharing your success and for being so honest and open about your journey.
