In this episode, Tony and I discuss something so many of us are concerned with, and that is Candida. We discuss the many myths about Candida and how it’s NOT as simple as avoiding sugar (though that will exacerbate the condition, but does not heal the root cause.) You’ll also learn the real truth about the cause of it and how to heal.
Next, we have my very special guest Ken Cook, co-founder and president of the Environmental Working Group, who is a widely sought public speaker on environmental health issues. Ken is responsible for the Dirty Dozen and Skin Deep database, which you may have heard me refer to in my blogs over the years. Listen in, as Ken shares how he founded EWG and what inspired him to pursue this nonprofit group.

About Ken Cook
Ken Cook is president and co-founder of Environmental Working Group and is widely recognized as one of the environmental community’s most prominent and influential critics of industrial agriculture, U.S. food and farm policy and the nation’s broken approach to protecting families and children from toxic substances.
Cook has been named as one of Washington’s Top Lobbyists by The Hill and The Huffington Post. He’s appeared on CBS’s 60 Minutes, NPR, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS and many other programs.
Under Cook’s leadership over the past 20 years, EWG has pioneered the use of digital technologies to expose the harms done by misconceived crop subsidies, crop insurance and runaway agricultural pollution. The organization has also empowered American families with easy-to-use, data-driven tools to help reduce their exposure to potentially harmful ingredients in foods, drinking water, cosmetics and other household products.
Cook is a widely sought public speaker on these and other environmental health issues and is frequently cited for the outsized impact that his and EWG’s work has had on policy debates.

Hi Kimberly,
How can I buy the SBO priobiotics if I’m based in Sweden?
Thank you.
Nina
Hi Nina and thanks for your interest. At this time we are not shipping internationally. I encourage you to contact your local health food store and ask them what a good brand is to use. They are usually very helpful. Sending lots of love! 😉
Here’s my dilemma. It’s apple picking season in my area but the apples are not organic. Do I go with organic from Washington state or my local apples that are so delicious but have pesticides.
Hi Mary…I’m always for the organic and no pesticide option. 😉
You mention bon dairy ice cream as a good ‘sometime treat.’ Are there any store bought brands you would even consider buying? Cashew, almond, coconut or otherwise?
Hi Laura and thanks for tuning into my Podcast. I prefer making my own dairy-free ice cream, only because I know what all of the ingredients are. Here are a few ideas of how to make your own: http://bit.ly/1B1tXlv If you must buy from the store, read the labels carefully and if you don’t know what the ingredients are, I say, don’t buy it. It’s always a good way to choose, if you don’t have time to make some at home. Otherwise, the options you mentioned are great, as long as the other ingredients are recognizable as well. Sending lots of love! 😉
