E99: The Truth About Candida Overgrowth: Why Diets & Antifungals Aren’t Working (And What Actually Does)

When it comes to candida overgrowth, most women are told the same thing:
Cut out sugar, go on a restrictive diet, and take antifungals.

If you’ve tried that and still feel bloated, exhausted, and stuck… this episode will explain why.

In this conversation, I’m joined by holistic nutritionist Marisa, who specializes in candida and gut health using a root-cause, non-restrictive approach.

Both of us have personally struggled with candida overgrowth, and in this episode, we’re breaking down what actually moves the needle, and what keeps women stuck in the cycle.

We cover:

•  What candida actually is (and when it becomes a problem) 
•  Common symptoms of candida overgrowth
•  Why the typical “kill the yeast” approach doesn’t work long-term 
•  The truth about the candida diet (and why it can backfire) 
•  How restriction, undereating, and food fear can make symptoms worse 
•  The root causes of candida overgrowth
•  What to focus on instead if you feel like you’ve tried everything 

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of restrictive diets, temporary relief, and symptoms that keep coming back, this episode will give you a completely different way to look at candida and your gut health.
