0:00.0 | Welcome to Dr. Rousho Radio, providing practical and science-based solutions to feeling your best. |

0:30.6 | The following discussion is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose or treat |
0:36.4 | any disease. Please do not apply any of this information |
0:39.6 | without first speaking with your doctor. Now, let's head to the show. Let's discuss Candida. This is a normal |
0:47.2 | resident for most people in the intestinal tract, but it can overgrow or imbalance and cause a number of symptoms. |
0:54.4 | So let's discuss what Candida is, how to know if you have it, |
0:58.2 | and then what I feel to be the most effective way to treat Candida. |
1:03.1 | And hopefully as you've been following the channel for a while, |
1:06.8 | you're learning that the health of your gut can impact many distal sites, including the brain, |
1:13.9 | your skin, your joints, and your immune system. So certainly something that can overgrowth |
1:18.6 | or imbalance and cause things like inflammation and damage to the gut lining is something that we |
1:25.5 | want to cue in on. So let's start with just defining what |
1:31.9 | is candida and why it can be a problem. It's a yeast or a fungus normal to the human microbiome. |
1:41.1 | So that's important to clarify because detecting any candida is not necessarily a |
1:45.9 | problem. In fact, candida is commonly found on your skin, in your mouth, in the vagina. I should also |
1:54.2 | mention that I want to cover in detail with you today candida in the gastrointestinal tract in the gut. |
2:02.4 | There's another type of candida, which is invasive candidiasis, a blood infection of |
2:09.0 | candida, which is serious and can occur in critically ill and or immunocompromised patients. |
2:15.1 | That's not what we'll be discussing, but the terminology does overlap candidiasis or invasive candidiasis versus candida in the gut. |
2:23.3 | So I just want to make that one distinction. |
