We're revisiting a fan-favorite from Season 3… and she's only grown since.
In this re-airing of our conversation with Sydney Karmes-Wainer—Founder of French Squirrel and certified hormone specialist—we revisit a story of healing, empowerment, and reclaiming joy in food.
When we first sat down with Sydney, she shared her journey of overcoming hormone imbalances, redefining her relationship with food, and creating a snack brand rooted in intuition and nourishment. Since then, French Squirrel has continued to thrive. Sydney has launched more products—including the irresistible Bisou, available in two dreamy flavors—and published her first cookbook, The Candida Cookbook, where she shares approachable recipes for blood sugar balance and gut health.
In this episode, we talk about:
The health obsession trap—and how Sydney found her way out
How her hormone struggles sparked a passion for women's wellness
What adaptogens, herbs, and real food taught her about healing
The creative story behind French Squirrel and its delicious evolution
