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’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!

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!
