Publisher's Synopsis
"Candida" is the term for a group of yeast organisms that have lived in our digestive tract for millennia, in harmony with the other thousands of bacteria, viruses, and archaea that make up our microbiome. But due to poor diets, processed foods, overuse of antibiotics, environmental toxins, and increased stress, our microbiome has been under steady and constant attack for decades. Yeast are of a heartier stock than bacterial microbes, and as bacteria die off, yeast begins to overgrow in the digestive tract, a condition known as candidiasis. Mild and moderate cases of candidiasis present with fatigue, IBS, eczema, depression, brain fog, migraines, and weight gain. Severe cases allow the afflicted to develop autoimmune disease (such as Multiple Sclerosis), cancer, and Alzheimer's.What you will learn in this book include: Focus on facts―Skip the pseudoscience and learn what causes candida overgrowth―and more importantly, what treats it.Professional advice―Get tips from a registered dietitian on everything from food journaling to adapting the candida cleanse to a vegan or vegetarian diet.Enticing recipes―With delicious foods, meal plan, food list and cookbook guide like Southwestern Stuffed Peppers, Crispy Coconut Salmon, and Chocolate-Almond Chia Pudding and lots more.
