A Functional Medicine
Approach to Candida
Functional medicine offers effective treatment for Candida albicans overgrowth, also known as chronic Candidiasis.
Candida albicans overgrowth refers to the excessive proliferation of Candida albicans, a normally benign yeast, within the body. This condition arises when the delicate balance between beneficial and potentially harmful microorganisms, particularly Candida albicans, is disrupted. Common contributing factors include the use of antibiotics, excessive consumption of refined foods, excessive alcohol intake, steroid medications, and a weakened immune system function that is unable to control the yeast overgrowth or a diet that promotes yeast growth. The Edinburgh Centre for Functional Medicine provides comprehensive solutions to address this condition holistically.
Through a personalized approach, our functional medicine practitioners identify and address the underlying causes of Candida overgrowth, rather than merely suppressing symptoms. By employing a combination of dietary modifications, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle interventions, we aim to restore the optimal balance of the microbiome, strengthen the immune system, and create an inhospitable environment for Candida albicans to thrive. Our comprehensive treatment plans are tailored to each individual’s unique circumstances, empowering them to regain control over their health and well-being.
