Candida and depression

A major symptom of Candida overgrowth can be depression. The sad thing is that candida is usually not thought of when diagnosing or treating depression. I know from years of working as a therapist, that it is almost never considered, and usually the only option given to people is psychotropic medications. The same goes for sleep issues, anxiety, panic attacks, irritability, rumination, confusion, poor memory, feeling numb, indecisiveness, and other emotional issues which can be symptoms of candida overgrowth. Some other bothersome symptoms that often go with all of this are bloating, sugar cravings, weight gain, headaches, and stomachaches. Candida causes a wide variety of symptoms because it causes inflammation.

I learned about candida overgrowth at @healthmasteryinstitute. Candida goes into the liver and impairs the livers’ ability to detoxify the blood. The blood then has more toxins, and the impaired circulation can affect all parts of the body including the brain. Our livers are already overburdened due to the amount of toxins we encounter every day in the food we eat, air we breathe, water we drink and products we use. It all adds up. I am so glad I was able to learn the truth and leave behind antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications, as well as many other things I was self-medicating with like alcohol, tobacco and marijuana.

The Heal Candida Now Cleanse is a great place to start. You can do this cleanse on your own, or If you need extra support, I offer individual and group health coaching. I specialize in helping people who tend to self-sabotage their efforts and could use extra support and accountability. It is also great to have the added benefit of community and lots of support through the group cleanses.
