Yalda, I am watching your stories and I am amazed how quickly you depict everything that is wrong with the foods in the States. I have lived here for 20 years and I am a pharmacist. I agree 100% with all you have to say and the healthy lifestyle you promote. You are my favorite IG account to follow and so impressed with all the knowledge you have! You are so so smart, down to earth and fun to watch! Thank you so much for all that you share. You are such an inspiration!

I’m a chronic pain physician in Gainesville, Florida. I’m an anesthesiologist that has specialized in chronic pain. We prescribe medications and perform steroid injections in various places.

But I’ve found it frustrating that my patients don’t always get better. And a lot of that has to do with chronic inflammation. Oftentimes, they are not active and overweight.

I’m wanting to change how I practice incorporating more of what you teach. I think this will benefit my patients much more than what my colleagues and I have been doing for years. So I’ve been telling my chromic pain patients about your platform.

So many of them have been so excited to hear about it and what your approach can do to reduce their chronic inflammation and pain.

I’m looking forward to how they do in the coming year. Thanks again for all that you do! You’re such an inspiration!

Being Mediterranean, we have the propensity of having higher cholesterol. My cholesterol was always on the high side even though I’m thin.

After following your diet for 3-4 months I was worried if it’s going to raise my cholesterol levels. I got my blood tested and my cholesterol actually had dropped 60 points and my LDL went from 127 to 100. It was as if I was taking a statin.
