When I mentioned to a physician friend that I was working on a book about how emulsifiers change our microbiome and how this can impact our health, she insisted I meet Yalda.

Yalda immediately blew me away with her deep knowledge of how diet affects disease and how her personal struggles have informed her ability to formulate a lifestyle strategy around improving health. She also suggested some reading for me to further my own knowledge.

I credit her with introducing me to the work of Dr. Tim Spector, for which I am eternally grateful.

I am a physician; I live in New York. I had been suffering since the age of 30 with recurrent bouts of colonic diverticulitis; every time requires a course of harsh antibiotics for 10 days. I started following the Eat Burn Sleep lifestyle. I changed my diet 180 degrees.

I am truly grateful for your guidance. I believe now that many of our problems are related to what we put in our bodies.

The gut is the most important organ in the body. It is the window to our health. We are not made to eat refined and processed foods. Thank you again for what you do. Keep up the good work. You are helping out many people.

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!
