Herbie of the Week: Candy

Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: Herbies

Hi Herbies! Last week we met Teresa, who after years of trying found a plant based diet she was happy with. This week we met Candy, who after being diagnosed with diabetes was able to control it through diet, and lose weight!

HH: How'd you find your way to a plant-based diet?
