Candida is the most common fungi in the microbiome. Several factors, including antibiotic exposure, can lead to its overgrowth and colonization in the gastrointestinal tract. Brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, depression, mood swings, insomnia, carbohydrate cravings, and gastrointestinal symptoms (especially constipation) are common symptoms. Children with candida overgrowth are often diagnosed with ADD.
In this episode, I will discuss 10 factors that can make it difficult to move beyond candida overgrowth, including:
- Low zinc
- Mold toxicity and metal toxicity
- High blood sugar
- Lack of movement and exercise
- High stress & catecholamines
- High cortisol
- High estrogen
- Poor gut motility
- Low digestive enzymes, stomach acid and bile acids
- Low beneficial bacteria
