“After being diagnosed with diabetes in 2020, I contacted Candace for help. She worked with me on my nutrition, focusing on carbohydrates and calories. After three months, I had lost 30 pounds and was no longer diabetic! I lost 20 more pounds in the next three months. I highly recommend Candace for your nutritional needs.”
