Common Triggers of Candida—And How to Fix Them

Underlying triggers on the high medical end of the spectrum would be things such as getting your blood sugar under control. If you do have diabetes, first get it diagnosed, then get blood sugar under control. That will help. If you have other reasons for it that are dietary, like sugar, get that under control. But then the next thing is your digestive system has a microbiome that can either be on the healthy side or the disease-causing side of the microbiome. And so sometimes in people after, say, we kill some of their Candida, if they have recurrence, we might put them on things to help reestablish their good gut flora. So that's another thing you can do to decrease the trigger is improve the good flora in your digestive tract.
