This episode is about:
Candida and allergies are a part of the hypoglycemia issue. These are all brought about by stress. What to do about all if it is covered.
Alright, welcome back! Last week, we talked about hypoglycemia, Candida, and allergies. We covered hypoglycemia pretty well, including the nutrients you need and some symptoms. Remember, some symptoms of hypoglycemia are similar to Candida, but there are a few differences.
Now, let’s talk about Candida. Candida is a type of yeast that lives in your body, especially in your throat. This is why babies sometimes get thrush, which is a condition where Candida grows too much. When this happens, it means the baby’s immune system is too weak to stop Candida from growing. Adults can also have Candida problems, and one common sign is sinus issues. If you have sinus congestion, it could be Candida. To help clear this up, you could try using a neti pot with golden seal root. You can either buy it as a tincture or make your own tea by boiling golden seal root in water.
Candida is natural in your body, but things like antibiotics can cause it to grow out of control. Antibiotics kill both bad and good bacteria in your stomach. The good bacteria are important because they help make vitamins for your body. When antibiotics wipe out these bacteria, Candida can start to grow in their place. If you have a “leaky gut,” the Candida can even spread into your bloodstream, which makes you feel really sick.
To fight Candida, one of the best things you can do is take probiotics, which are good bacteria that help your body. You can drink liquid probiotics to flood your body with good bacteria and prevent Candida from growing too much. After you take antibiotics, it’s important to take probiotics to protect your body from Candida.
There are also herbs like Golden Seal Root and Oregon Grape Root that can kill Candida. Golden Seal is really powerful because it also lowers blood sugar and works as an antibiotic, antifungal, and more. You can also use other teas like black walnut tea or oregano oil to help kill Candida.
Another way to help fight Candida is to support your immune system. This includes taking vitamins like Vitamin C and B vitamins, and using herbs like ashwagandha and licorice. Eating healthy food and drinking clean water are also important.
Candida can sometimes make you feel tired and unmotivated, which is a sign your body needs help. Emotional stress from childhood, like having a bossy parent or bullying, can also affect your health later in life and contribute to things like hypoglycemia and Candida. If you ever feel overwhelmed, it could be because your body is holding onto old emotional stress.
Let’s quickly touch on allergies. If you have allergies, it means your body is sensitive to certain things, like pollen or food. Food allergies are easier to avoid because you can just stay away from the food, but it’s also helpful to understand why you’re allergic to it. For example, if a child once saw their parents argue and food got thrown at them, they might later become allergic to that food. Airborne allergies are harder to control, but they also show that your immune system is reacting to something it sees as an attack.
In both allergies and immune system issues, the body’s response is often related to emotional stress. If you're always feeling sensitive or overwhelmed, your body might get sick as a way to express that. To get better, it’s important to pay attention to your emotions and figure out what’s causing your body to react.
So, take care of your body and mind. Remember, being healthy is about balancing your physical and emotional well-being. If you need help, don’t hesitate to ask. Take care and be well!
