Appalled by the side effects she suffered with the standard drug for rheumatoid arthritis and determined to be drug-free for the pregnancy she was planning, she moved to the plant-based whole-foods diet that has left her completely free of inflammation. During her health journey she discovered the Paddison Program for Rheumatoid Arthritis which gave her a more systematic and research-based approach; her recipes support the Program and are used worldwide to make following it simple and enjoyable. Iida is in demand as an invited speaker at plant-based nutrition conferences.view less
