Naturally Nourished Episode #22 Candida Albicans and Yeast

Do you suffer from: bloat, IBS/diarrhea/constipation, fatigue, rashes, or brain fog? Curious if you have candida yeast overgrowth or overgrowth of bad bacteria? In this episode Ali explains the symptoms, causes, and most importantly the solutions to address Candida Albicans or an overgrowth of yeast.

In this episode Ali demystifies one of the most common causes of digestive disorders and mysterious symptoms: Candida Albicans. “Candida” is an opportunistic fungus, which is a form of yeast in the body that is naturally occurring. Everyone has some level of yeast in their system, but it is the overgrowth of Candida Albicans that can wreak havoc and lead to dysfunction. When this powerful yeast takes over, Candida releases toxic byproducts into the bloodstream, many of which can act as neurotoxins leading to headaches and brain fog. 

The human body holds 3-5 pounds of living bacteria that has the opportunity to work with our body or against it. When in a state of symbiosis the gut bacteria can aid with absorption of nutrients, production of serotonin and other natural antidepressants, regulation of immune function and cancer fighting compounds, and improvement of digestive function. When in the state of dysbiosis, bad bacteria can take over, leading to a host of symptoms!
