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’ve followed your Instagram for a long time before deciding to give it a try to your platform. And it absolutely fulfilled my expectations! As a dentist, I love to learn and read about health and nutrition. The information you shared was really simply explained and it made sense. After following the Six Week Reset we (my husband, my 13 years old daughter, and I) noticed great results. We all lost weight and felt better. And what is more important is we got used to it. Since then I’ve recommended your platform and your Instagram account to my friends and patients too. I feel happy to share your information with others and I’m quite enthusiastic about it.

The lifestyle has helped me so much.

I have PCOS and IBS/reflux. An added benefit for me is my cystic acne from PCOS just vanished. My 13-year-old acne is clearing up. Same for my grown brother and his migraines also lessened.

The bloat is gone, no more popping TUMS and Gas-X and Omeprazole all the time. My tummy is flat for the first time since babies! I feel better at 40 (my birthday is tomorrow) than I did at 30. My hair is shinier, my nails are breaking less.

I would also add that I am adapting many of my Pakistani recipes (inspired by yours) and the ingredient list to be EBS compliant. I’ve never been a big eater and didn’t join for weight loss. My weight has dropped maybe 2-3 pounds but it seems to have just redistributed to the right place.
