In this encore episode, we detail the intestinal mycobiome and the mechanisms by which beneficial microbes aid in regulating opportunistic fungal species: Candida albicans. We discuss Candida overgrowth virulence and how disruptions in microbial balance, immune function, and epithelial integrity impact Candida's pathogenicity. Additionally, we discuss the role of mast cells in the lamina propria, their involvement in mucosal immunity, and how Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) can be exacerbated by fungal dysbiosis / microbial imbalances.Topics: 1. Introduction - The intestinal mycobiome and its role in intestinal health.  - Regulating populations of opportunistic fungal species like Candida albicans.- Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) intro.   2. Structure of the Intestinal Barrier- The microbiome and mucus layer: microbes, mucins, antimicrobial peptides, sIgA.- The epithelial monolayer: enterocytes, goblet cells, Paneth cells, enteroendocrine cells…- Tight junction proteins and paracellular transport.- The lamina propria beneath the epithelium: immune cells and more. 3. Candida's Pathogenicity and Barrier Disruption- Exists primarily in its yeast form, regulated by microbial competition, host immune defenses, antifungal peptides.  - Secretory IgA (sIgA) and immune surveillance mechanisms help regulate fungal populations. - Chronic stress, immune suppression, and dysbiosis can deplete sIgA, increasing susceptibility to Candida proliferation.  - Environmental triggers such as immune suppression, microbial depletion, inflammatory cytokines.- Yeast-to-hyphal transition, deeper tissue invasion.  - Secreted aspartyl proteinases (SAPs), phospholipases, candidalysin: epithelial damage.- Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and overgrowth detection. 4. Impact of Beneficial Bacteria on Candida Overgrowth  - Beneficial bacteria compete with Candida for nutrients and epithelial adhesion sites.  - Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) produced by beneficial bacteria.- Depletion of beneficial bacteria removes ecological resistance, allowing Candida to proliferate unchecked.   5. Mast Cells in the Lamina Propria and Their Role in Intestinal Immunity- Mast cell location - Upon activation, mast cells release histamine, cytokines, proteases, and more that regulate gut immune responses.  - Histamine can increase gut permeability and modulate local immune activation.  - Tryptase and chymase. - Pro-inflammatory cytokines.  6. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) - Mast cell hyperactivation.- Environmental triggers, toxins, chronic infections, and stress. - Candida overgrowth and mast cell activation.- Addressing microbial imbalances and reducing the body's total microbial, chemical, and toxin burden.- A diverse microbiome.   7. Conclusion- Candida overgrowth and regulation via immune defenses and beneficial bacterial competition.- MCAS, root cause approach.Get Chloe's Book Today!

Have you ever started a new supplement, and had your symptom not get better but WORSE? Were you confused by this, and wondered if you should keep taking the supplement or stop altogether? If you said yes to either of these questions, then this episode is for you! On today's episode, we're sharing an audio from one our private, group coaching calls for members of my program, the Better Belly Blueprint. On this coaching question, I'm coaching my client Barbara about a rash on a neck she had suddenly return upon starting a new supplement. Based on the training inside the Better Belly Blueprint, Barbara connected that this new supplement may be creating something called a Herxheimer reaction, or a detox and die-off reaction, so she stopped the supplement. What she WASN'T sure about was - when (if ever?) could she safely re-start the supplement? If you've ever been in a similar place to Barbara and have wondered about if you should keep taking a supplement if it gives you symptoms and, if yes, when or how to take that supplement safely - then you DON'T want to miss out on my answer to Barbara!

Have you ever done a protocol, and wondered if it was making any difference? Or even more specifically - have you ever done a candida protocol and wondered if it worked, or if you needed to do it again? If you said "yes" to any of these questions, then you are just like my client Elizabeth! In today's episode, I'm sharing a question from one of our group coaching calls inside my private coaching group, the Better Belly Blueprint, to share with YOU. Today's topic on candida is from my client Elizabeth. She asks: "How do I know when my candida is gone? As a reminder, I'm re-doing my candida protocol on week 4. (Update: I got diarrhea with the candida treatment the first round, but I don't now!). I do continue to get bloating after I eat any meal. Should I re-test for candida after I finish my protocol? I just want to know what exactly is causing the bloating and why it isn't gone yet!" What she REALLY wanted to know is - why is her bloating still here? And how can she know if the candida is gone if she still has that particular symptom? It can TOTALLY be rough going through a protocol and seeing improvement in some symptoms, but not in others (especially one(s) that you care about the most!). So if you've ever had anxiety around this question before, you DON'T want to miss my answer to Elizabeth!

In today's episode, we are happy to hear from our clinic's Dr. Scott and one of his patients, Keith about his successful experience tackling gut health issues. Keith's case posed a very common conundrum that we've seen in many with gut health issues - are we dealing with bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), fungal overgrowth (candida) or potentially both? We'll walk through some of the key indications that Keith's initial SIBO diagnosis was actually a candida case, and we'll cover the best testing and treatments that led to Keith's recovery.  Need help navigating your digestive or other health conditions?

In this episode, we detail the gut-immune axis, focusing on the protective mucus layer, antimicrobial peptides, and the role of lactoferrin in intestinal health. We discuss endogenous secretions and how lactoferrin functions as an antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, and iron-regulating glycoprotein, influencing microbial balance and intestinal barrier integrity. Additionally, we highlight lactoferrin testing and levels. We finish by going through supplementation as a phenomenal tool.Topics: 1. The Intestinal Barrier & Mucus Layer- The intestinal lumen, microbiome, mucus layer, epithelial cells, and lamina propria.- The mucus layer: antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and secretory IgA (sIgA).- Intestinal epithelial cells including goblet cells and enterocytes.2. Immune Cells in the Gut- The lamina propria.- Macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, B cells, T cells, mast cells, and more.3. Antimicrobial Peptides & Secretory IgA- AMPs and sIgA in the mucus layer regulate microbial balance and prevent pathogen adhesion.4. Lactoferrin: Functions & Sources- Iron-binding glycoprotein, antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties.- Found in mucosal secretions, colostrum, and more.- Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and neutrophils.5. Lactoferrin's Role in Intestinal Health- Regulates iron absorption via lactoferrin receptors (LFR)on enterocytes.- Sequesters free iron, limiting bacterial growth, bacteriostatic.- Destabilizes bacterial membranes, cell lysis, bactericidal.6. Lactoferrin Levels- Neutrophils release lactoferrin during infection,increasing its presence in the large intestine.- Fecal lactoferrin levels.- Fecal calprotectin levels.7. Lactoferrin & Candida Overgrowth- Fungal membranes.- Aiding in the inhibition of biofilm formation.8. Lactoferrin Supplementation & Benefits- Supports gut microbiota, epithelial integrity, and immunemodulation.- Bovine colostrum and as a supplement.9.

Learn the wide range of histamine intolerance symptoms, why the low histamine diet isn't enough, and the 6 root causes to high histamine.---Histamine Intolerance is one of the most misunderstood, poorly treated chronic illness issues out there.Most commonly, it is oversimplified as simply an issue that can be resolved by diet control. Unfortunately, the low histamine diet does not heal histamine intolerance at all, but merely masks the issue through symptom managmenet.Can a low histamine diet reduce histamine symptoms? Yes.Can you ever get off of the low histamine diet through doing the diet alone? No. The low histamine diet does NOT heal your sensitivity to histamine (which is actually possible). It merely enslave you to your histamine intolerance.That's why, on today's episode, I'm diving into how to ACTUAL heal from histamine intolerance.On today's episode, I'll be talking through the A's to Z's of histamine intolerance, including: What histamine isSymptoms of Histamine IntoleranceAnd my histamine intolerance treatment to naturally and COMPLETELY heal you from your histamine sensitivity so you can eat high histamine foods again AND have no histamine symptoms - everIf you're ready to determine if histamine is ruling YOUR life or end the cycle of slavery to histamine, then this episode is for you.Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction to Histamine Intolerance00:07 - Misconceptions About Low Histamine Diets00:55 - Episode Overview and Goals03:07 - Understanding Histamine07:51 - Histamine Intolerance Explained13:31 - Symptoms of Histamine Intolerance23:49 - Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance36:51 - Healing Histamine Intolerance41:14 - Conclusion and Next StepsEPISODES MENTIONED:234// Symptoms of Candida Overgrowth, How to Test for Candida, and Why the Candida Diet and Candida Cleanses Don't Work

In this episode of The Mind Change Podcast, Heather McKean explores the deep emotional drivers behind Candida overgrowth. More than just a physical condition, Candida is often a reflection of unmet emotional needs from childhood—specifically around nurturing, love, and connection with caregivers. Heather explains how childhood experiences, particularly those involving deprivation or guilt, can manifest in adult behaviors that either suppress or exacerbate these unmet needs, creating the perfect environment for Candida to thrive. From feelings of unworthiness to patterns of self-sacrifice or chronic neediness, this episode reveals how Candida thrives on underlying resentment and negativity. Dive in! Discover how Mind Change can help rewire these subconscious programs, leading to emotional healing and restored physical balance.

In today's episode, we explore the complex interactions between Candida and the gastrointestinal tract, examining how this fungus can transition from harmless commensal to pathogenic state that disrupts gut barrier functions. We dive into Candida's ability to undermine mucosal integrity through the production of candidalysin and other virulence factors like secreted aspartyl proteases, which specifically target and degrade tight junction proteins such as claudins and occludins. We'll explore the layered structure of the intestinal mucus barrier, its role in immunological defense, and how Candida's biofilm-forming capabilities further facilitate its pathogenicity. Lastly, we'll discuss tools and strategies for mitigating Candida overgrowth. Topics: 1. Gastrointestinal Tract Anatomy / Barrier Function - Mucus Layer - Description of the gastroprotective mucus barrier - Differences in mucus architecture between the small and large intestines - Composition: mucins, immunoglobulins (IgA), antimicrobial peptides - Intestinal Epithelium - Structure and function of the epithelial cell layer - Roles of different epithelial cells: enterocytes, goblet cells, enteroendocrine cells, Paneth cells - Lamina Propria - Immune cell types 2. Integrity of Tight Junctions - Tight junction proteins: claudins, occludins, junctional adhesion molecules (JAMs) - Mechanisms of tight junction regulation and response to changes in the gut environment - Impact of physiological and pathological factors on tight junction dynamics 3. Candida Pathogenicity Mechanisms - Adherence and Biofilm Formation - Mechanisms facilitating Candida adherence to epithelial cells - Structural and functional implications of biofilm formation - Enzymatic Disruption of Tight Junctions - Role of Candida-secreted aspartyl proteases (Sap) and phospholipases in degrading tight junction components - Immune System Interaction - Triggering of inflammatory cytokines by Candida presence and their effects on gut barrier function 4. Candidalysin: A Specific Virulence Factor - Genetic basis for candidalysin production via the ECE1 gene - Mechanism of action: disruption of epithelial cell membrane integrity, pore formation, and cellular damage 5. Clinical Manifestations of Candida Overgrowth - Gastrointestinal symptoms: bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain - Systemic effects: fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, mood disturbances - Nutrient absorption impairments leading to deficiencies 6. Strategies - Biofilm Disruption - Agents targeting biofilm integrity and adherence properties - Antifungal and Enzymatic Tools - Natural antifungals - Role of enzymatic supplements in biofilm and cell wall degradation - Immune Modulation and Gut Microbiota Support - Immune-modulating agents - Probiotics and prebiotics to restore and maintain healthy gut flora Thank you to our episode sponsors: 1.

Description: What is candida and how does it affect children with ADHD? In this episode, you'll discover that candida can actually lead to a plethora of issues, particularly for our ADHD children. It can lead to digestive problems, brain fog, inattention, and even mood swings. Though it's an underlying stressor that sometimes goes unseen, don't panic. This episode will dive into the mechanisms of candida overgrowth, the symptoms to watch for, and what to do if you suspect candida in your child.  Link Mentioned in the Show:  Candida self-assessment - https://s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ortt.freegiveaways/CANDIDA+ALBICANS+Self-screening+.pdf  Book a Free Call - https://info.adhdthriveinstitute.com/meet  Key Takeaways: [6:09] Common signs of candida overgrowth [9:06] What causes candida overgrowth? [9:14] How to tell if your child has candida overgrowth [12:27] Functional lab tests that identify candida overgrowth [17:42] The anti-candida diet [18:05] Supplements that address candida overgrowth Memorable Moments: ”Candida can create a lot of chaos in the body. From digestive issues to brain fog, and even mood swings, it's an underlying stressor that often goes unnoticed.” ”Because Candida is opportunistic, it will grow out of balance if your health has been weakened.” ”Candida loves sugar. Because sugar is Candida's primary source of food, it will make you crave it so that it can get more and more food.” ”The functional lab tests used to investigate candida (and other important markers) are the stool test and the Organic Acid Test.” Dana Kay Resources:

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, Have you ever heard of a detox foot bath? My dad is doing them at health center here, where he soaks his feet for 30 mins in a copper basin. They add salt and electrodes to the water. After 30 mins the water is a nasty brownish color which must be the toxins being pulled from the body. Is this legit? And how does this work? Thanks   Grethen: Any information on what causes this or a natural treatment for Mayâ Thurner syndrome.   Stephanie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I had a question about how you find all new and recent research studies. I am a registered nurse looking into getting into nurse research and focus in functional medicine. I have been following you for years and have learned so much from your wisdom. Almost every podcast it seems you have a new and very recent research study (esp on Friday review shows) and wondering if you look up new studies every day or if you have some system or alerts you use that notifies you of new research studies that might interest you? If so, what are the major research databases do you use? Thank you for your passion in this field, you have taught me so much and can’t wait to start IHP in the future.   Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, I would like to thank you and your team for everything you and your team,. Jan/24 did the big 5 to figure out the root cause of Psoriasis, Bloating/gas and prep pre-pregnancy. We flagged: - Mercury/aluminum, Candida Overgrowth, High Oxalic Acid High Cortisol, Low DHEA I ran the 21 detox (psoriasis 95% gone, Auto immune markers gone bloodwork) I started Heavy Metal detox/IC & estrogen balance/ultimate sleep --> full CBO + daily sauna/destress protocol. Questions: Is there any downside to adding mastic gum for gas/bloating to the CBO protocol (I cannot stool test international)? How can we support sleep during pregnancy/breastfeeding . I have not slept this well s since my TBI 12 years and missed the melatonin for 2 nights and really felt it - Thanks in advance     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2997 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

In this episode, we explore the research behind SS-31 peptide and other supplements as possible groundbreaking interventions for mitochondrial dysfunction, shedding light on their mechanisms as detailed in the scientific literature. We delve into the concept of the mitophagy stack, presenting it as a superior alternative to "Urolithin a" alone, for enhancing the clearance of damaged mitochondria and rejuvenating cellular energy production. Furthermore, we unravel the complex relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and chronic fatigue, elucidating how impaired energy production at the cellular level can lead to pervasive fatigue and compromised quality of life. Topics: Introduction to Mitochondrial Dysfunction Chronic illnesses and their relation to mitochondrial dysfunction Examples: Chronic Fatigue, Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, Lyme Disease, Candida Overgrowth... Importance of understanding mitochondrial dysfunction on a large scale and biochemical level Understanding Mitochondrial Dysfunction Definition and general overview Underlying causes: Genetic mutations, environmental stressors, toxins, aging Biochemical pathways involved: Oxidative phosphorylation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, calcium homeostasis, apoptosis Oxidative Phosphorylation and Dysfunction Role in ATP production Components: Electron Transport Chain (ETC) and ATP Synthase Dysfunctional aspects due to genetic mutations and aging Vicious cycle of mitochondrial DNA mutations, decreased ATP production, and increased ROS Factors Contributing to Mitochondrial Dysfunction Genetic mutations (mtDNA and nDNA) Aging and its impact on mtDNA Environmental toxins and stressors (e.g., psychological stress, radiation, biotoxins, toxicants, nutrient deficiency) Nuclear DNA alterations Mitophagy and Mitochondrial Biogenesis Importance of removing old and damaged mitochondria Role of urolithin a and its enhancement with EGCG in mitophagy Supporting biogenesis: PQQ, resveratrol, EGCG, anthocyanins, curcumin, glycyrrhizic acid, salidroside Supplements and Nutrients for Supporting Mitochondrial Function Clinical trials and effective supplements: L-carnitine, α-lipoic acid, CoQ10, NAD precursors, membrane phospholipids Peptide Therapy for Mitochondrial Dysfunction Introduction to SS-31 peptide Mechanism: Binding to cardiolipin for efficient oxidative phosphorylation Potential for stimulating mitochondrial biogenesis Conclusion and Reminder Only ever work with a medical professional.

Testing for candida when you have what you think is a candida rash can feel really discouraging. Especially when you have all the classic signs of candida overgrowth, and yet, your test comes back “clear.” What a frustrating waste of time and money, right? These results probably leave you feeling like you don't know where to turn, or what's causing your rash.  And maybe you've even got symptoms of a fungal skin infection that don't match up with test results. Now what? Well first off, your test results may be accurate — maybe Candida isn't at the heart of what's going on with your skin.  But it's absolutely possible that Candida is lurking under the surface…meaning that your test results aren't exactly accurate.  In this episode, I'm digging into the complexities of testing for Candida and why you can't always trust the results.  Just know that if you're looking for answers and struggling to figure out exactly what's causing your rash, there's a way to stop throwing money away on tests that come back with inconclusive results. I outline these tests in my Skin Rash Root Cause Testing Guide here to help you uncover which tests may help you the most (as well as how to order them).  So, let's talk about testing for candida overgrowth, and why you may be getting a false negative with your candida test results.  In This Episode: How to test for candida and fungal overgrowth The best test for candida (this will surprise you!) The worst test for candida (it's a worthless recommendation) Is the candida spit test accurate? How to deal with a yeast fungal skin infection or gut overgrowth Quotes “Urinary Organic Acid test is not the same as a Mycotoxin test, and cannot replace the information gathered through a mycotoxin test. So they are NOT interchangeable.” “Yeast (fungal organisms) are extremely hardy. They're “survivors” that can outlast your attempts to starve them through die and may even evade different treatment options.”

One of the questions I hear a lot is “what causes candida overgrowth?”  Because Candida is one of the underlying root causes that can cause your gut and your skin microbiomes to become imbalanced or dysbiotic, it must be factored into your case. Specifically, since Candida + other fungal organisms can trigger rashes to flare up. Candida can be super frustrating to deal with because it's such an opportunistic fungal bug.  We've all got Candida living in our bodies (including in your intestinal tract) and on your skin. You can't eliminate it completely.  It's just that when conditions are right for it to get out of hand…it does so quite quickly. And the truth of the matter is, candida overgrowth can be tricky not only to identify as the root cause of your skin rash, but also to get under control.  Plus, sometimes a candida overgrowth in the gut can co-exist with other fungal infections or rashes on the skin to make matters even more challenging. If you're wondering if Candida is what's causing your rash, be sure to download my Skin Rash Root Cause Finder here to help you uncover what your unique root cause combo is. This is the same 16 possible root causes that I assess every client for to help them break free of rashes. So, let's talk about what causes candida overgrowth — and how to get rid of it! In This Episode: 7 common causes of candida overgrowth Candida overgrowth signs + symptoms Where candida rashes typically show up Fungal skin infections (there's more than just Candida!) How to get rid of candida overgrowth Quotes “Candida overgrowth on skin can show up in those damp, moist places that fungus loves to hide and multiply in.” “Fungal overgrowth internally can trigger rashes on your skin — without necessarily having fungal overgrowth on your skin.” 

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Lindsey: Hello Dr. Cabral, I would love to pick your brain on a controversial Vitamin D question. I have always followed the integrative/holistic/naturopathic view on Vitamin D and the idea that low levels can be part of the chain reaction of root cause issues for many dis-eases of the body. However, I recently listened to a XXXXX podcast episode with XXXX about Vitamin D levels and supplementation that made a lot of sense even though it contradicts everything every respected Integrative doctor has ever thought about vitamin D. If you are familiar with his explanation, I'd love to hear your thoughts. If not, it's a suggested conversation topic for a future episode vastly different than the other vit d podcasts in the past.   Lindsey: Hello again Dr. Cabral - one more question to have a conversation about. I am breastfeeding and I wonder about future autoimmune issues for my baby. If I comprehend the autoimmune theory correctly, when the gut is leaky, proteins cross the lining and the body sees them as invaders creating an autoimmune response that expresses in the weak part of your individual body. This is very simplified. Since babies are born with permeable guts, can proteins go through my milk to do this. I am specifically worried because I have MODY or Type 1.5 diabetes. Since dairy in babes can cause type 1 diabetes, if I eat dairy will that do the same through my milk for the baby? What about allergen introduction? They suggest to do the big 9 within the first year. If one is a trigger, will it create AI?   Caitlin: I will try to keep this short: How do I know if I am suffering from candida overgrowth or just have a lot of the common symptoms of it for different reasons? I have severe eczema/dermatitis on my hands. I have suffered from this for years, on and off. I am working in a restaurant again, which has worsened it, but I know that my poor gut health in the past has played a role and steroid withdrawal. have for the last year and a half took major steps to improving my health Basically, I have the skin issues, I have yeast infections sort of often, and now I am experiencing dry scalp. Could this just be a few things happening at once and because it's winter? (I live in New York). I'm sorry for the lengthy message and understand if you can't answer on the podcast. Thank you for all you do.   Ales: Hello Dr. Cabral. I am an Integrative Health Practitioner L2, and I have question regarding food sensitivity testing. There seems to be newer version of testing called MRT (Mediator Release Test), which unlike IgG (testing for only type III sensitivity), is testing for type IV sensitivity. They claim that when the T-cells identity a food as harmful, they release mediators such as cytokines, histamines, and prostaglandins, causing inflammatory symptoms. Since MRT apparently measures the release of mediators from WBC and these mediators are proinflammatory chemicals, which leads to chain immune reaction, wouldn't it a much more accurate way to test for food sensitivities? Thank you for your thoughts..   Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral - I've been working with a local functional medicine doctor and I found out I have 2 MTHFR gene mutations, high estrogen (testosterone and progesterone look good), high cortisol, APOE3/E4, low dopamine, high oxidative stress, AA/EPA is high, low MCHC, a marker for celiac disease, strep in my gut (no parasites) and my IgG and IgM are both very low. My FM dr is telling me to find an immunologist. I'm thankful to have all of this information but I'm feeling overwhelmed. I wanted to reach out for any specific advice you can provide with this info (nutritionally, testing, exercise, etc). Are there certain foods I shouldn't eat with MTHFR gene mutation or high estrogen?
