Kandi hasn’t always focused on healthy living, but over the past two decades, she’s realized that if she’s to be able to enjoy her children and grandchildren, she’ll need to be healthy.
Health-focus bio
In April of 2000, Kandi J Wyatt and her knight in shining armor purchased their first home. It was a fixer-upper. The place had been built in the 1920’s and probably should have been burnt by the 1940’s. Instead, they repaired the hole in the roof, bleached and then painted the walls with Kilz and paint, built five walls creating four more bedrooms, and rebuilt the bathroom and entryway. By Christmas they moved the family in.
Four years later, Kandi was having health issues. She visited an allergist who suggested that she do an elimination diet to see what foods may be triggering her allergies. When she couldn’t get a base pulse with rice, they decided to do the skin testing method instead. To her horror and her knight’s dismay, the results came back. The long list included wheat, soy, eggs, dairy, tomatoes, peas, and sesame for allergens and rice, barley, and oats for intolerant foods. This was before allergens had to be labeled. Her diet changed drastically, but she still had one other environmental allergen—mold. Of the twenty-four common molds in Southern Oregon, Kandi tested either sensitive or allergic to all but three of them. And she’d been living with it for the past four years.
Where most people with food allergies live with it, Kandi’s knight wouldn’t accept that for a way of life. Instead, two years later he discovered a possible cure. Their chiropractor also had a practice where she used reflexology and supplements to help heal the gut and other systems that cause allergies. After what looked like magic, many bags full of supplements, and almost a year later, the majority of Kandi’s food allergies were no more!
The mold allergy remained, which led her on a path of discovery into non-toxic lifestyle and eventually into essential oils. She’s studied and used oils and non-toxic household cleaners since 2016. She brings her teacher skills to life training others how to live a healthier lifestyle.
