Providing Healthy Meal Deliveries to Those Who Need It Most


We recently had the opportunity to work with a family facing a challenging health situation. They came to us with a diagnosis of candida, a condition that had been difficult for them to address due to its unique set of symptoms and the lack of understanding they encountered from medical professionals.

This family was dealing with a range of issues including immune system problems, sleep disturbances, unexplained weight gain, hormonal imbalances, brain fog, and intense cravings for carbohydrates and sweets. They knew they needed to follow a strict candida diet to combat the yeast overgrowth, but found it overwhelming to manage on their own.

That’s where we stepped in. Our team worked closely with the family to create a customized menu that not only adhered to the strict requirements of the candida diet but also catered to their individual tastes and preferences. The result was a diverse and flavorful meal plan that made their journey to recovery much more manageable and enjoyable.

The menu we crafted excluded common candida-feeding foods such as gluten, dairy, soy, alcohol, vinegars, chocolate, sugar, caffeine, processed grains, certain nuts, white potatoes, mushrooms, corn, and most fruits. We also had to be mindful of individual family members’ dislikes, such as Brussels sprouts, peas, beets, and large chunks of onion for one person, and broccoli for another.

Despite these restrictions, we were able to create a variety of delicious meals. For instance, breakfasts featured Paleo pancakes with coconut cream and coconut sugar. Lunches included dishes like a grass-fed ground beef pot pie and an Asian kale salad with ginger red pepper dressing and lemongrass chicken. Dinners offered options such as grilled grass-fed NY strip steak with southwestern spices, pan-seared wild-caught salmon, and herb-roasted chicken with creamy spinach sauce.

We also included candida-friendly snacks like zucchini roll-ups with roasted cherry tomatoes and no-bean zucchini hummus, and sautéed Fuji apple with a honey drizzle (using coconut sugar as a substitute).

Throughout the menu, we maintained a strict no-salt policy and used dairy-free alternatives where needed. We incorporated a wide range of vegetables and herbs to ensure the meals were not only healthy but also full of flavor.

The family reported that our customized approach made following the candida diet much easier for them. They felt supported in their journey and are now on the road to recovery! 

This experience underscores the importance of personalized nutrition in addressing complex health issues. By tailoring meals to specific dietary needs and personal preferences, we can make even the most challenging diets more manageable and enjoyable, supporting our clients on their path to better health.
