Udana discovered the value of good health when she lost hers.

As a young actress, she learned to stay thin by starving herself. That was a double-edged sword… because she also had enormous sugar cravings. Unbeknownst to her, she had a fungus in her body at birth called Candidiasis. Nobody realized what that was at the time, but the antibiotics prescribed to make her earaches and other symptoms go away just fueled the problem.

She thought craving sweets and carbohydrates was normal.

She couldn’t fathom how those annoying “skinny people” could eat so much and still stay so thin. I mean, didn’t they ever want to eat a whole cake? Or sneak the entire box of cookies?  Nobody realized that systemic Candidiasis causes enormous sugar cravings. Fortunately, Udana didn’t drink, because the Candida also craves anything fermented… like pickles, olives and alcohol.  (Her two brothers struggled with alcohol all their lives.)

She was starring at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles when her health collapsed.

She had to turn down a starring role in a hit Broadway play and go home to sleep. She struggled with fatigue, fear and the dreaded fat… going from doctor to doctor to nutritionist to 12-step program… willing to do anything to get better. Little did she know that the Candida had become systemic and was now attacking her liver, ovaries and adrenal glands.

It took 10 years to figure out what was going on and recover.
It was by prayer and “luck” that she discovered nutritional solutions and a way to literally clean out the fungus from her body by intermittent fasting and high-powered nutrition.

She regained her health and has been a passionate advocate about good health ever since. 

She has coached hundreds of people through nutritional programs that have transformed their lives.  The dreaded sugar cravings finally left (and her scale stopped seesawing up and down) when she discovered the power of the right probiotics to replenish and balance the bacteria in her gut.

Udana realizes that she lost her acting career to what she calls a years-long “Sugar Drunk.” 

She is dedicated to helping others discover the freedom that comes from having a healthy body. Also, the self-love that emerges when you’re not at war with food any longer.

She is a Writer, Speaker, Certified Life Coach and PSYCH-K Facilitator. 

Slow down? Get old? Not a chance. Her passion is to “Life Fully Alive” each day and help others do the same.
