Butternut squash gives you the

carbs you need without feeding

Candida or being damaging on the

gut. The added collagen is one of the

most gut nourishing foods out there

(if vegan, leave out collagen). This

dish packs enough protein, fat, and

carbs to be a complete one-pot,

nurturing meal.

FOOD AS MEDICINE NOTE:

PREP & COOK TIME: 50 MINS // SERVES 4

INGREDIENTS

1 butternut squash

1 tablespoon coconut oil

3 cups unsweetened coconut milk or vegetable broth

1-2 cups pure water

1 teaspoon powdered ginger

1 teaspoon CEYLON cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground turmeric or ¼-inch turmeric root

2 garlic cloves, minced

8 tablespoons collagen

1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage or ¼ teaspoon dried sage

Toasted pine nuts (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Cut butternut squash in half and remove seeds.

Grease a baking sheet with some of the coconut oil and use remaining coconut oil to rub on the meat of the butternut squash. Place in baking dish face down.

Bake for 40 minutes or until you can easily put a fork through it. After the squash is cooked, scoop out meat from the skin and place meat in a blender or Vitamix.

Add other ingredients and blend.

Warm soup on stovetop before serving

Serve topped with toasted pine nuts and/or 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage or ¼ teaspoon dried sage.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

// PEOPLE WHO LOVE TO EAT ARE ALWAYS THE BEST PEOPLE

PREP TIME: 10 MINS // MAKES ABOUT 1 CUP

INGREDIENTS

1 bunch fresh cilantro, washed and dried, ends clipped

2 tablespoons fresh oregano

1 lime, juiced

¾ cup extra virgin olive oil

⅓ cup pine nuts (optional)

2 cloves garlic, minced

sea salt to taste

DIRECTIONS

Blend all ingredients together. Use as a thicker salad dressing, a dip for vegetables, or as a topping for chicken or fish after it has been cooked.

CLEANSING CILANTRO & OREGANO PESTO

// IF IT CAME FROM A PLANT, EAT IT. IF IT WAS MADE IN A PLANT, DON’T

Oregano is the most powerful antifungal found in

nature when it comes to overcoming candida and

yeast overgrowth. Consuming it fresh is an excellent

way to deliver a shot of healing to both your gut and

immune system. Our pesto also contains garlic as

your natural anti-viral and anti-bacterial since we

know pathogens live in colonies. The cilantro is

present to help your body mobilize the heavy metals

that invariably come with candida overgrowth,

making this our #1 Kicking Candida recipe of all time!

FOOD AS MEDICINE NOTE:

You need a crunchy snack while kicking

candida and most of the store bought chips

and other snack alternatives will have some

kind of ingredient that is not ideal. Having these

tasty chips gets in one of your two daily

requirements of greens as well as a fiber boost.

FOOD AS MEDICINE NOTE:

PREP & COOK TIME: 50 MINS // SERVES 4

INGREDIENTS

1 bunch kale (the curly-leaf variety works best)

⅛ cup avocado oil or melted coconut oil

½ teaspoon good quality salt ground black pepper

1-2 seasonings of your choice: garlic powder, red chili flakes, curry powder, Italian herbs

DIRECTIONS

Place a large, shallow roasting pan or sheet pan in the oven and pre-heat to 375 degrees.

Rinse kale, and dry completely. Remove stems, and cut into pieces approximately 3-inches wide. In a large bowl, use your hands to combine the kale with the next 4 ingredients. Season to taste with your choice of suggested ingredients, coating kale evenly.

When the oven is up to temperature, carefully put the kale into the hot pan, spreading it out into one layer. It will sizzle. Roast in oven for 10 minutes and then gently stir or turn the leaves.

Continue roasting another 5-7 minutes until kale is crisp and dry, but not too brown. Some may be chewy instead of crisp.

Serve immediately.

*If you are on a candida cleanse, do not use nutritional yeast flakes.

OVEN-ROASTED KALE CHIPS

// FOOD IS ESSENTIAL TO LIFE; THEREFORE MAKE IT GOOD

SOAKING TIME: 1 HOUR // PREP TIME: 5 MINUTES // SERVES 6

INGREDIENTS

1 heaping cup raw cashews, soaked for one hour and then drained

1 cup pure water (or unsweetened almond milk or coconut water)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean

3 tablespoons coconut butter (found near the nut butters in the baking aisle of health food stores or online)

½ teaspoon dark-liquid stevia

½ teaspoon quality sea salt

DIRECTIONS

Blend all ingredients together in a food processor.

Refrigerate and serve cool.

For added pleasure, combine carob or chocolate chips before refrigerating or drizzle with Açai Chocolate Sauce just before serving.

CASHEW CAKE-BATTER PUDDING

// ONE CANNOT THINK WELL, LOVE WELL, SLEEP WELL, IF ONE HAS NOT DINED WELL

Let’s face it; those of us with a history of candida have

a sweet tooth that won’t quit. That sweet tooth is likely

to rear its ugly head as the candida dies and you need

to have a healthy, super delicious, sugar free weapon

at your disposal. If you like cake batter ice cream,

you’ll love this recipe!

FOOD AS MEDICINE NOTE:

PREP & COOK TIME: 20 MINS // SERVES 4

INGREDIENTS

4 cups water

1 teaspoon turmeric powder (or a 3-inch strip fresh turmeric root, peeled)

1 teaspoon ginger powder (or a 4-inch strip fresh ginger root, peeled)

honey or dark-liquid stevia, to taste lemon slices, or the juice of a full lemon (to taste)

DIRECTIONS

Put water into a small pot and bring to a boil on the stove. Make sure that the water has come to a full boil.

Add turmeric and ginger to the boiling water and reduce to simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. This will extract the beneficial compounds from the turmeric and ginger.

Remove the pot from the stove. Strain the tea into a cup through a fine-mesh strainer to filter out the particles of turmeric and ginger.

Add sweetener and lemon to taste.

TURMERIC GINGER LEMONADE

// EAT HEALTHY, THINK BETTER

The first step to eliminating digestive and

immune issues is always to slash

inflammation. Our most popular turmeric

ginger lemonade (you can make this hot or

cold) is the most powerful inflammation

slasher around. Turmeric is also a super star

supporter of your liver, helping it to produce its

own enzymes that help it detoxify. A healthy

liver is crucial to kicking candida.

FOOD AS MEDICINE NOTE:

Ginger is an excellent food to help

your body produce enough of its own

hydrochloric acid, which is why we’re

loading you up on this recipe. There’s

an excellent chance if you have

digestive issues, that your HCL is low.

Candida has been shown to

challenge HCL production so this is

nature’s defense to keep you safe

while allowing your body to absorb

Vitamin B12 from your food better.

FOOD AS MEDICINE NOTE:

PREP & COOK TIME: 20 MINS // SERVES 3-4

INGREDIENTS

1 pound fresh asparagus, peeled and tough ends trimmed

2 tablespoons coconut oil, divided

2 tablespoons clarified butter (ghee), divided

1 two-inch piece ginger (peeled, sliced thinly lengthwise)

sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

Heat 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil in a small skillet over medium heat.

Add the ginger slices and fry until golden and crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus and freshly ground pepper.

Let the asparagus sear in the pan, turning occasionally, until the spears are bright green, tender-crisp, and slightly browned in some places.

Season to taste with salt and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle the crispy ginger over the asparagus and serve warm.

PAN-SEARED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY GINGER

// NOTHING FANCY, JUST GOOD FOOD FROM FRESH INGREDIENTS

Alkalizing your body and bringing oxygen back to your

GI tract is crucial to over the metabolic waste that

candida can excrete. Having a live, fresh green juice is a

huge vote in the direction of more oxygen and an easier

detoxification process.

FOOD AS MEDICINE NOTE:

PREP TIME: 10 MINS // SERVES 2

INGREDIENTS

3 kale leaves

3 stalks celery with leaves

1 handful parsley

1 handful romaine lettuce

1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled

1 green apple, cored and quartered (peel if using a blender)

1 cucumber - optional (peel if using a blender)

DIRECTIONS

Place ingredients in a Vitamix or blender and blend until smooth.

If using a blender, you may need to add small amounts of water as you blend to help the process and for desired consistency.

WHOLE JOURNEY BLISS JUICE

// TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY; IT’S THE ONLY PLACE YOU HAVE TO LIVE

Get your pack of high quality animal

protein and the grounding and

sweetness of root vegetables in this

soul comforting meal. You are bound

to feel satiated and dessert will be

far from your mind.

FOOD AS MEDICINE NOTE:

PREP TIME: 15 MINS // COOK TIME: 30 // SERVES 4

INGREDIENTS

1 2.5 pound chicken (preferably pasture raised)

4 cloves garlic, chopped finely

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon quality sea salt

¼ cup raw or grass-fed butter, semi-melted

1 lemon

1 white onion cut into quarters

6-8 small carrots

6-8 fingerling potatoes or four red potatoes (unpeeled and quartered)

2 stalks celery

½ cup chicken broth

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 500º. Grease a13×9 baking dish and set aside.

Soften butter on the stove and stir in the garlic, salt, and the smoked paprika. Loosen the skin from the bird with your fingers and rub the garlic butter mixture in between the skin and the chicken. Rub leftover butter mixture on the outside of the chicken and sprinkle with sea salt. Squeeze half of the lemon all over the chicken and cut the other half into quarters and stuff inside the chicken along with a quarter of the onion.

Place chicken in the baking dish and place veggies all around the chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and pour chicken broth into the pan. Bake the chicken for about 25-30 minutes. Watch it when it gets close to the end to make sure the skin doesn’t burn. You want the skin crispy but not burned.

Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes. If you want to make gravy, remove some pan juices and put into a saucepan along with a tablespoon or two of flour. Whisk over medium heat until smooth. Serve with a big salad. Enjoy!

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH ROOT VEGETABLES

// DON’T EAT ANYTHING YOUR GREAT GRANDMOTHER WOULDN’T RECOGNIZE AS FOOD

Getting a healthy dose of omega 3

fatty acids from your diet will aid your

inflammatory process tremendously.

Hence, the importance of wild caught

salmon. The garlic and rosemary give

you your daily dose of antipathogenic

herbs for the day. They can then pass

through the layers of intestinal tissue

during the digestion process to kill

candida deep down.

FOOD AS MEDICINE NOTE:

PREP & COOK TIME: 20 MINS // SERVES 6

INGREDIENTS

¼ cup finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves

2 garlic cloves, chopped

½ teaspoon black peppercorns

¾ teaspoon fine sea salt or coarse kosher salt

4 teaspoons avocado oil

6 wild-caught salmon fillets, 4-6 ounces each

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Combine chopped rosemary, garlic, peppercorns and salt in mortar and crush with pestle or blend in mini processor until coarse paste forms. Mix in oil.

Rinse the salmon, pat dry with a paper towel, and place on a baking sheet.

Rub the mixture over the top of the fish.

Position rack in center of oven. Roast at 400 for 10-15 minutes until cooked through and easily flakes with a fork (check it at 10 minutes to make sure not to overcook).

Place on platter and serve.

WILD SALMON WITH ROSEMARY& GARLIC PASTE

// YOU DON’T HAVE TO EAT LESS, JUST EAT RIGHT

PREP TIME: 5 MINS // COOK TIME: 10 // SERVES 2

INGREDIENTS

1 bunch dark, leafy greens

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 tablespoon grass fed butter or avocado oil

½ cup bone broth

1 lemon, juiced and zested

1 handful parsley, chopped

salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

Heat the oil, garlic, and lemon zest in a sauté pan for about 2 minutes.

Add the greens and sizzle for a couple more minutes until the greens are ultra bright green. Add the broth and cover. Let steam for 3-5 more minutes.

Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon. Toss in parsley just before serving.

SAUTÉED GREENS WITH GARLIC& PARSLEY

// A HEALTHY OUTSIDE STARTS FROM THE INSIDE

If you have candida, you likely also have leaky gut. Most of us do due to our modern lifestyles which means we do better on cooked veggies than raw veggies. We also sauté our greens to lower the goitrogen factor in case there is a thyroid issue lurking below the surface. Parsley is key because it supports your kidneys in their detoxification process. As your body eliminates the candida overgrowth, it’s important to keep the channels of elimination wide open. Makes for graceful, asymptomatic cleansing.
