a very common infection that most people will get at some point in their lifetime
is a candida infection unfortunately most people don't even know that they have it
you'll walk around with symptoms like itchy skin rashes or even bloating but you'll never
identify the problem appropriately so in this video we're going to help you identify
the warning signs of a candida infection but most importantly teach you how to overcome them
now though there's many type of candidas the most common candida infection people get is the candida
albicans now the candida albicans can cause a lot of problems in your overall health and so let's
first look at some of the warning signs we'll talk about you know maybe how they start and then also
how they can progress if it gets really bad first let's look at sinus infections so many people get
sinus infections throughout the year now if you're getting reoccurring sinus infections that don't
seem to go away you certainly want to start to correlate it with a potential candida infection
the other thing you want to look out for is nail fungal infections now you'll know if this
is happening your nail typically gets cloudy kind of gross looking and it's a common common sign of
a candida infection a lot of times it's pretty bad at that point so you definitely want to be
going to your doctor to check this out or take it seriously using the exact methods that i'm about
to share with you in this video now the other thing that will happen and this is common very
common is skin rashes okay i've actually had this myself because i went through rounds and rounds
of antibiotics as a child which totally screwed up my gut health and so what happens you'll typically
get skin rashes in moist areas okay it may be around your eyes it also can be in your armpits
or even more private areas and so you want to make sure that if you're getting rashes and they
just keep reoccurring you don't know why it's happening then a candida infection is something
you're certainly considering now another one is bloating okay now bloating is common but i want
to say too that it's just kind of a whole host of digestive issues if you're somebody who has gas
and diarrhea and cramps and nausea then there's a good chance that this candida problem could
be within your gut and you want to get it solved because if it's in your gut it can go throughout
your entire body can even get in your bloodstream cause a lot of problems now if you're somebody who
is tired and fatigued all the time this is also a very common sign of a candida infection if you're
getting utis okay this is something that you want to watch out for the candida infections can cause
these typically if you're getting reoccurring utis it's even more of a sign that you have a candida
issue now let's look at itching of the skin okay so if you're somebody who walks around and you
notice your skin is itching i'm not talking about like itchiness that you might get from some dry
skin but you know your skin is constantly itching and then you even get itching in a lot of private
areas this is also something that you want to really take seriously and you'll know if this
is happening trust me next is going to be joint pain okay so what happens is this candida actually
gets into the joints and it causes an arthritic type of pain in fact it actually can even lead to
arthritis down the road if you aren't taking care of it unfortunately like i mentioned before a lot
of people have these candida infections show up and they don't do anything about it because they
don't know what's happening there's like oh some minor symptoms no worries okay so a little bit of
itching of the skin a little bit of bloating and then it just kind of blows up and once
you get this candida infection and it gets pretty bad i can tell you beyond child of a doubt they
can be very hard to get rid of now let's also talk about a very common symptom and that's white spots
that develop on the tongue or in the mouth or in the back of the throat you'll typically see these
as well if somebody's dealing with some candida problems now you don't have to have all of these
to have a candida infection you can certainly have just one or two of them and still have a pretty
strong infection that you need to work on overcoming one of the common questions i get
all the time is how in the world does this happen okay and it's a really good question people ask me
this about their health problems and it's like well i a lot of times i don't know right it's
very difficult to try to pinpoint why something's happening however we always want to just try to
fix the issue but sometimes it can be kind of obvious okay so i'd say one of the very common
reasons that this happens is due to antibiotics i mentioned this being a problem that i dealt with
i dealt with ear infections as a child for many many years and i'd probably been on antibiotics
over 15 times in my life never as an adult when i knew better but certainly as a child
and just you know getting the the health care that my doctor would recommend for me um and
recommended for me through my parents basically i went on tons of antibiotics so essentially
i ended up with candida infections as a result and the reason for this is because one of the things
that protects you from these infections is the good healthy bacteria within your gut well when
you take antibiotics it kills off these bacteria and you have a real problem it's estimated that
just taking antibiotics once in your lifetime is enough to disrupt your microbiome forever so
antibiotics is a big one another one is stress so if you have a lot of stress and recurring chronic
stress in your life this can drive you to the infection birth control so women who are taking
birth control this is a problem that can actually cause it someone who is eating a lot of sugar and
a lot of carbohydrates okay if your diet is high in sugar high in carbs then it also can lead to
the infection so and this is going to be one of the keys we talk about just a moment like
if you want to get rid of this infection you got to change your diet you've got to get rid of the
sugar in the carbs because you are feeding the infection if you are consuming this continually
next is a weakened immune system okay so a lot of people will have a weak immune system for so many
reasons out there due to metabolic disorders or you name it a weak immune system allows for these
opportunistic funguses and bacteria to come in and take advantage in your body and just widespread
infection all over the place so we want to make sure that we're keeping our immune system strong
at all costs so what do we do about this now there's a couple things to consider here okay
because clinically this is what we would do we would definitely use a supplement okay we'd use
two supplements now one of them we'd use is called microbe cleanse and microbe cleanse is basically
a mixture of many different things that kills off candida some of the ingredients include olive leaf
extract turmeric ginger caprylic acid in oregano these are very powerful at killing off the candida
and i'll put a link in the description below to a formula called micro cleanse that we use
clinically now we would use that but we would also use a probiotic okay so we use a probiotic that is
going to help balance out the microbiome and like i mentioned before if you actually strengthen the
microbiome what you'll find is that this candida cannot survive because the bacteria is going to
fight it off so we want to make sure that we're at least using those two things okay because
when we work on these issues clinically like we have to get results and get them quickly nobody
wants to dabble with this thing for the next six months so those are two things we throw at it okay
now that's supplement wise but now let's talk about lifestyle-wise because what we want to do
is really stack the the odds in our favor here so that we can actually get some great results
and overcome this issue so some things that you could add in your diet are going to be things like
garlic fermented foods you know how we talked about using probiotics but fermented foods also
have lots of good probiotics in them and a good wide variety of different strains so fermented
foods is great also following a sugar-free diet okay we do not want to be feeding the candida
infection and nothing feeds it like eating lots of sugar and then also decreasing your carbohydrate
intake a lot of people will even go on a ketogenic diet for a period of time to overcome
this infection next thing you can use is xylitol okay so the sweetener that many people use on a
ketogenic diet which does not raise your blood sugar in any way but taste sweet that actually
is really good at killing candida as well so you can actually start utilizing that maybe
some of your drinks maybe a coffee a tea something like that and it can be helpful
and then the other thing that you can do is use coconut oil more often because the coconut oil
is one of the things that is able to go in and just be like a gentle antibacterial
in anti-fungal so using coconut oil is powerful too so these are the things that we really want
to do if we want to overcome a candida infection this is something you certainly can overcome but
i'm telling you if you let this thing get out of control man it's difficult to walk it back so we
want to make sure that we take action immediately and if you listen to those different symptoms and
you check many of those boxes then it's something that you want to take seriously and and take
action on right away before it starts really destroying your body because these infections
can actually be very harmful to the body if they go unfixed take action today now i also want to
let you know that i just started a new channel on youtube many people like these short videos
