Sydney Karmes-Wainer is the Founder and Owner of the healthier sweet snacks company, French Squirrel. In an attempt to rediscover her love for food after falling trap to the often-obsessive health food world, she began her food blog.

Sydney opens up about years of struggling with an eating disorder and how she healed her relationship with food through her Instagram, as well as how she recently healed from candida overgrowth and wrote a cookbook to help others do the same. She shares about starting her healthier-for-you sweet snack CPG company, French Squirrel, and tells listeners about becoming a Certified Hormone Specialist. She shares the real ups and downs of owning a business and gives exceptional advice for anyone interested in exploring entrepreneurship.
