I have been so impressed with your work over the last couple of years I have been following you. I am a physician (Cardiologist and Internist), and I was introduced to you by my husband, who follows your EBS lifestyle religiously for his GI issues; you have helped him enormously. I have been so impressed by your thorough research of not only nutrition and choosing/making foods anti-inflammatory to promote well-being, but of all medical conditions, their disease processes, and how what we eat contributes to their progression or regression. We truly are what we eat. Your positive attitude, movement sessions, and educated perspective are what make your lifestyle stand out, truly work for those who follow it and will stand the test of time. You have no idea how much you have helped my husband, and as a result of his eating this way, I do as well. I feel healthier and more balanced. Thank you for spreading well-informed and well-researched information time and again.

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!

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.
