Surviving the Social Side of Food, interview with Ricki Heller

Ricki Heller is an educator, author and anti-candida nutritionist. As part of her Sweet Life program, Ricki advocates for a diet free of high-glycemic sweeteners, refined sugars, caffeine, and many other food types to ensure long-lasting and vibrant health. She also argues for the widespread normalization of vegan and gluten-free dishes, rather than them being the exception to the rule on restaurant menus and the potluck table.

In this episode, Ricki explains why we need to overhaul our diets, dissects how staples like sugars can negatively impact our systems, and suggests some handy tips for making “non-traditional” meals the norm at parties and gatherings.

The Finer Details of This Episode:

• How her mother’s health issues radically changed Ricki’s approach to nutrition.

• Tips for healthy eating over the holiday season.

• Her surprise approach to making vegan and gluten-free foods more inviting.

• Breaking down how cutting out sugars and other sweeteners positively affects your body.

Quotes:

“You don’t have to give up your favorite foods to be healthy… but you do need to find more healthful alternatives.”

“I think, as a society, we have just grown accustomed to always feeling less than well.”

“My feeling is, don’t tell them, just serve it to them, and if it really is good they won’t know the difference!”
