Memorable Moments: ”Candida can create a lot of chaos in the body. From digestive issues to brain fog, and even mood swings, it’s an underlying stressor that often goes unnoticed.”

”Because Candida is opportunistic, it will grow out of balance if your health has been weakened.”

”Candida loves sugar. Because sugar is Candida’s primary source of food, it will make you crave it so that it can get more and more food.”

”The functional lab tests used to investigate candida (and other important markers) are the stool test and the Organic Acid Test.”
