Debby Padilla & Sarah Wittekind, group owners & best friends, have both struggled with candida, obesity & food addiction & spent many years researching alternative health therapies for ourselves. We want to share this information with you in a supportive environment.

To start, please review our candida program:

Common discussion topics include:

* Diet & supplements
* Symptom treatment & management
* Support & motivation for committing to a healthy lifestyle
* Recipes & Success stories
* Sharing of advice & products
* Social issues & emotions

Many of us struggle with weight loss/gain & food addiction. Unlike other groups, we try to offer support, motivation & success strategies first. We have found that scientific information doesn't help if you don't have personal strategies & motivation to apply the information or are struggling with other emotional issues.
