Candida GI Overgrowth: Comprehensive Guide to Effective Clinical Treatment

Candida species (spp.) are a normal part of the gut microbiome in 40-80% of the population. When in balance, they provide benefits to the host, such as protecting against pathogens. When overgrown, Candida spp. wreak havoc on the digestive system and can directly contribute to chronic illness.

This in depth webinar provides integrative and functional health practitioners with a comprehensive overview of gastrointestinal (GI) Candida spp. overgrowth and holistic treatment approaches that you can start using in your practice today.

Dr. Blake Myers, a naturopathic doctor with over a decade of clinical experience, teaches you the key biological underpinnings of Candida spp. as a genus of organisms, how to recognize potential GI overgrowth in your patients, and currently available testing options.

After this foundational background, Dr. Myers takes you step by step through a naturopathic and functional medicine protocol, developed from over a decade of practice experience.

As you will see in this webinar, treatment of GI Candida overgrowth goes far beyond killing the organisms themselves. Dr. Blake emphasizes throughout this educational presentation that as practitioners we have one goal - to restore health in our patients and clients. Accomplishing this requires thinking differently than the simple anti-microbial methods of conventional medicine - especially in chronic cases. Dr. Blake will guide in approaching health and healing from this perspective.

Who is this webinar designed for?
Practitioners of any experience level, whether conventionally or functionally trained, who want to understand effective methods to restore health in patients with chronic dysbiosis and Candida gut overgrowth.

Non-practitioners will also find a great deal of information in this presentation that they can use to naturally support healthy digestive function and maintain gut health.
