Memorable Moments:
\u201dCandida can create a lot of chaos in the body. From digestive issues to brain fog, and even mood swings, it\u2019s an underlying stressor that often goes unnoticed.\u201d

\u201dBecause Candida is opportunistic, it will grow out of balance if your health has been weakened.\u201d

\u201dCandida loves sugar. Because sugar is Candida\u2019s primary source of food, it will make you crave it so that it can get more and more food.\u201d

\u201dThe functional lab tests used to investigate candida (and other important markers) are the stool test and the Organic Acid Test.\u201d
