Candida is a commensal microorganism living in the digestive tract of the vast majority of our patients. For most, it causes no harm. But certain common lifestyle factors and medication exposures promote overgrowth of Candida species, leading to a fungal-predominant dysbiosis with sometimes severe systemic symptoms.
Candidal overgrowth is often an important piece of the chronic illness puzzle. In some cases, it can be the crux of chronic disease.
There’s a vast amount of conflicting information about dietary approaches to treating Candida overgrowth. Similarly, recommendations for use of antifungals to address Candida also vary widely.
In this free webinar, Dr. Blake Myers will cover straightforward, effective strategies for combining diet and supplementation to restore eubiosis and systemic health in patients struggling with GI candida overgrowth. Dr. Myers will discuss a holistic protocol grounded in naturopathic philosophy and systems biology, one that you can use to gently help your patients heal from Candidiasis and prevent recurrence.
You’ll learn about:
- The basic characteristics and qualities of Candida
- Causes and drivers of GI Candidiasis
- Signs & Symptoms
- When to Treat
- Holistic strategies, naturopathic recommendations, and the use of specific foods as medicine for treating Candidiasis
