How Functional Medicine Finds and Fixes the Root Cause, Not Just Symptoms
Functional Medicine taught me to find and fix the cause of health issues, rather than just treating symptoms. Many patients experience the following symptoms and are surprised to learn the underlying cause:
Common Symptoms of an Underlying Candida Infection
- Fatigue
- Chronic sinus congestion/infections
- Craving for sweets
- Poor digestion, constipation, diarrhea, bloating
- Hormone imbalance
- Weakened immune resistance
- Brain fog
- Loss of sex drive
- Bad breath
- Vaginal yeast infections
- Frequent UTI’s
- Chronic toenail fungal infection
- White coating on tongue
- Anxiety, panic attacks, depression
If you checked off multiple symptoms, there’s a strong possibility that the root cause is a Candida Infection in your Gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
How Does Candida Overgrowth Happen?
A healthy GI tract contains about three pounds of beneficial bacteria that keep small amounts of harmful bacteria and yeast (such as Candida) in check. However, when this balance is disrupted, harmful yeast and bacteria take over—a condition called dysbiosis—which leads to infection and chronic health issues. (source)
Top Causes of Candida Overgrowth
- A course of antibiotics
- Birth control pills
- Diabetes
- A high-sugar diet
- Chronic stress
- Excessive alcohol consumption
How to Confirm and Treat Candida Overgrowth
A blood or stool test can confirm a diagnosis, but treatment is often more cost-effective than testing. Instead of spending money on testing, we begin treatment and monitor symptom resolution.
3-Step Functional Medicine Approach to Candida
- ✅ Stop feeding the yeast – Eliminate sugar, refined carbs, and alcohol.
- ✅ Kill the yeast – Use targeted antifungal supplements and dietary strategies.
- ✅ Restore gut balance – Replenish beneficial bacteria with high-quality probiotics and a gut-friendly diet. (source)
This process can take two weeks to several months, but…
👉 It can restore your quality of life!
