Candida & Thrush: More Than a Simple Yeast Infection
Candida or thrush is caused by an overgrowth of yeast in the body. It can lead to symptoms such as white patches in the mouth, fatigue, digestive issues, and infections, often linked to gut imbalance, immune function, and lifestyle factors.
• Candida is a yeast that naturally exists in the body
• Overgrowth can lead to thrush and systemic symptoms
• Common causes include antibiotics, high sugar intake, and stress
• Hormonal factors (e.g. high oestrogen, oral contraceptives) may contribute
• A weakened immune system increases susceptibility
• Can be transmitted in some cases through close or sexual contact
• Symptoms may include white coating in the mouth, fatigue, and brain fog
• Digestive issues, UTIs, sinus infections, and joint discomfort may occur
• Diagnosis includes clinical history, symptoms, and testing when required
• Prevention focuses on diet, gut health, and immune support
• Treatment includes an anti-candida diet, herbal medicine, and probiotics
• A comprehensive approach supports long-term balance and recovery
When the imbalance is addressed, symptoms begin to settle. Support the system — not just the symptom.
