Did You Know?

What is Candida albicans?​

​

  • Candida albicans is a microscopic fungus that naturally lives on your body.

  • It is typically found in small amounts on your mouth, skin and in your intestines.

  • Healthy bacteria in your body regulate Candida count (microbiome).

  • When Candida is off-balance, it overgrows and causes infection (candidiasis).

Candida Overgrowth: A Silent but Serious Threat to Your Health

 

When a person's good bacteria are suppressed or their immune system is weakened, they may develop candida overgrowth. Candida overgrowth can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

​

  • Taking antibiotics. 

  • Having a weakened immune system, either from a health condition (like diabetes1 or HIV) or taking immunosuppressive medications like steroids or chemotherapy.

  • Taking high estrogen birth control pill. 

  • Eating high refined carbs or sugar diet.

  • Excessive alcohol intake.

  • High levels of stress.

​

Any one of these factors may not be enough to cause candida overgrowth on its own, but if you have more than one, the combination may create a perfect storm for candida.
