Podcasts about fungal

Fungal diseases are becoming more common, more dangerous, and more difficult to treat. There's concern that they may cause the next global pandemic. Rising global temperatures, better survival rates for vulnerable patients, and increased medical interventions contribute to the rise in fungal infections. Access to effective diagnostics and treatment remains limited, with significant disparities between high and low-income countries. Treating fungal infections is becoming more challenging as they build resistance to the drugs used to treat them. New therapies are being developed, including treatments that disrupt fungal DNA replication or interfere with essential proteins, offering some hope for long-term control.Contributors: Adilia Warris, Professor in Paediatric Infectious Diseases, University of Exeter, UKRita Oladele, Professor of Clinical Microbiology, University of Lagos and Lagos University Teaching Hospital, NigeriaArturo Casadevall, Professor and Chair of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, USMichael Bromley, Professor in Fungal Disease, University of Manchester, UKPresenter: Tanya Beckett Producer: Louise Clarke Researcher: Maeve Schaffer Editor: Tara McDermott Technical Producer: Richard Hannaford Production co-ordinator: Tammy Snow(Image: Aspergillus fumigatus, seen under an optical microscope.

In this episode, we discuss the gut-immune axis and Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO), with a mechanistic focus on immune activation and epithelial barrier disruption. We detail contributing factors to and symptoms of SIFO. We further discuss the anatomical positioning and immunological functions of mast cells within the lamina propria, highlighting mast cell activation syndrome, while detailing how SIFO and SIBO can serve as upstream triggers for mast cell activation.Topics:1. The Gut-Immune Axis and Mast Cells - The intestinal epithelium forms the innermost selective barrier, coated in a protective mucus layer.- Immediately beneath lies the lamina propria, rich in immune cells including mast cells. 2. Mast Cells in the Lamina Propria - Mast cells are positioned near nerves, capillaries, lymphatics, and epithelial cells within the lamina propria.- Their anatomical location enables rapid immune surveillance and inflammatory response.- Mast cell granules store histamine and more. 3. Mast Cell Mediators - Histamine: Biogenic amine, inflammatory signaling.- Tryptase: A serine protease.- Cytokines and lipid mediators also released upon activation. 4. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) - Systemic: skin, respiratory tract, cardiovascular system, nervous system, and more.- The gastrointestinal tract.- Common triggers for mast cell activation. 5. Transition to Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO) - Overgrowth of fungal organisms, often candida species, within the small intestine.- Contributing factors including hypochlorhydria, slowed motility, immune suppression, disrupted bacterial populations.- Overlap: SIFO, SIBO  6. Hypochlorhydria and the Stomach's Defense Role - Parietal cells secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor.- HCl denatures proteins and sterilizes ingested pathogens.- Chief cells secrete pepsinogen, which becomes pepsin in acidic conditions to digest proteins.- Consequences of Reduced Gastric Acidity  7. The Role of Intestinal Motility - Enteric nervous system (ENS), myenteric and submucosal plexuses.- Coordinated contractions preventing stasis and microbial overgrowth. 8. Common Symptoms of SIFO and clinical overlap with SIBO 9. Candida and Fungal Pathophysiology in the Gut - Yeast form, regulated by microbial competition and immune defenses.- Hyphal transformation.- Degrade the mucus layer, disrupt epithelial integrity, trigger inflammation. 10. Secretory IgA and Mucosal Defense - Chronic stress, immune dysfunction, dysbiosis can lower sIgA levels and weaken mucosal immunity. 11. SIFO, SIBO, and Mast Cell Activation  12.

Ever seen a Husky or a German Shepherd with sneezing, nasal discharge and a TON of fungus up their nose?! If so, then you'll know the gross satisfaction that comes with pulling all of that out, and then packing them full of antifungals. Today, we're rounding off our mini-series on nasal disease by diving into a relatively common condition, especially in our large dogs - fungal rhinitis. We'll get prepared for these patients together by discussing what fungal rhinitis is, the patients we see it in, and how we manage it (as well as the skills we can use with these patients as nurses), and, as always, I'll share my tips for nursing these patients confidently. --- More free ways to learn with me:

Fungi are ubiquitous in nature—in fact, you're likely breathing in fungal spores as you read this. Most fungi are harmless to healthy people. But changes in the global climate, in human settlement patterns, and even in our own body temperatures have made fungal pathogens an increasing health threat.On this episode, host Jason Lloyd interviews Angel Desai, an infectious disease specialist and associate professor at the University of California Davis Medical Center. Desai and George R. Thompson III cowrote “Foiling the Growing Threat of Fungal Pathogens” in the Winter 2025 Issues. Desai discusses what fungal pathogens are, why they are becoming more dangerous, and how the public health community can respond. Resources: Learn more about fungal pathogens by reading Angel Desai and George R. Thompson III's Issues article, “Foiling the Growing Threat of Fungal Pathogens.” Angel Desai and Maimuna S.

In this 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.Thank you to our episode sponsor:1.

Fungal networks in the ground ferry crucial nutrients to plants. But how do brainless organisms form complex supply chain networks? Also, in this year's baseball spring training, the new Automated Ball-Strike System is helping settle challenges to home plate pitch calls.Scientists Observe Fungi Creating Complex Supply ChainsAs the leaves start to pop out, it's natural to look up and admire the trees. But actually, there's a lot of action happening underneath your feet. Beneath you is a complex network of fungal trade routes carrying essential nutrients to the roots of plants, mined from the soil by fungus. It's a subterranean supply chain.But how exactly do these complex networks form? How does the fungus decide where to ship which resources, or where to build roads? Basically, how does a brainless thread make decisions?Host Flora Lichtman is joined by Dr. Toby Kiers, an author on a recent study of those networks, and professor of evolutionary biology at Vrije University in Amsterdam. She's also the executive director of the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks (SPUN).A Rookie Robot Umpire Takes The FieldBaseball fans are eagerly awaiting opening day. And while spring training is a time for teams to test out new players and strategies, it's also a time for Major League Baseball to trial new rules and procedures. One of the things that the league has been testing this year is a robotic system to call balls and strikes.The Automated Ball-Strike System, which is based on the same technology used for line judging in tennis, isn't calling every pitch, but is used to back up a challenge system at the plate. The tech is already in use in Triple-A games, and could make it to the major leagues in the years ahead. Baseball writer Davy Andrews joins Host Ira Flatow to talk about the technology, and how it could subtly change the rules of the game.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Fungi have been used in medicines, to create furniture and underwear, and even to ward off witches and contact the dead. But most importantly, 90% of living plants depend on fungi.

Our body temperature is currently too hot for fungus to thrive in – which is why we don't often have to worry about a serious fungal infection. However, global warming is forcing fungi to evolve to withstand hotter temperatures, which could be bad news for humanity. Dr. Arturo Casadevall explains what a future fungal pandemic might look like.

Ask Flora Funga Podcast anything OR Leave a ReviewYay! I am finally releasing Melissa's chat. She has been working for the La Crosse county parks system for 4 years ago, and fell in love with fungi after stumbling upon Chicken of the Woods while mowing the lawn. Having grown up in the inner city of Milwaukee WI working as a cook that also struggles with an autoimmune illness, she was enthralled with the new culinary and health opportunities behind discovering the world of fungi. Since then she has led several successful dinner forays in the Driftlesss area. She's also had the privilege to present about fungi and soil food web all over the country in the last year and hold social media platforms to help engage people on he path of foraging for their food and caring for the environment. She is all about educating and helping spread the enthusiasm of fungi and the soil food web.Resources mentioned on my websiteWear FFP merch to support the show and impress your friends & family Zbiotics: "FLORA10"Drink ZBiotics before drinking alcohol-Alcohol produces acetaldehyde, a byproduct that your next dayBirds of a Feather Talk TogetherA podcast on The Feather Thief - a true crime museum heist in search of bird feathersListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show***I am an affiliate with ENERGYBITS (your daily algae tablet packed with nutrients) go visit this link and use code FLORAFUNGA at checkout for 20% off***Get 20% off Sovereignty use code "KK20" Zbiotics: "FLORA10"Drink ZBiotics before drinking alcohol-Alcohol produces acetaldehyde, a byproduct that your next day SUPPORT THE SHOW: Join my Patreon for only $1/month [THATS only .03 cents a day!]Follow my other social media sites to interact and engage with me:Email me to be on the podcast or inperson Interview: floraandfungapodcast@gmail.com FacebookInstagramTwitterTikTokYouTubePatreon Help support my plant buying habit by "Buying me a Plant"a twist on buy me a coffee

In this episode, we go through the gut-immune axis and mycobiome, focusing on the mechanisms underlying intestinal fungal overgrowth. We highlight the roles of the intestinal mucus layer, intestinal epithelial cells, lamina propria, and secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) in maintaining homeostasis and defending against fungal overgrowth. We also detail the pathogenic transition of Candida from its commensal yeast form to an invasive hyphal state, as well as the resulting disruptions to immune function. Topics 1. Introduction to the Gut-Immune Axis and Mycobiome    - The gut-immune axis and mycobiome.    - Exploring intestinal fungal overgrowth.   2. Overview of the Gastrointestinal Lining    - Anatomy of the intestinal lining: lumen and microbiome, mucus layer, epithelial monolayer, and lamina propria.    - The dual role of the mucus layer: physical and biochemical barrier.    - Composition of mucus.   3. Goblet Cells and Mucus Production    - Goblet cells as critical producers of mucin glycoproteins and their role in mucus barrier integrity.    - Signals for mucin release, such as mechanical stress.   4. The Lamina Propria and Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT)    - Layers beneath the epithelium    - Peyer's patches, mesenteric lymph nodes, isolated lymphoid follicles, and intraepithelial lymphocytes.    - Immune tolerance and defense against pathogens.   5. Peyer's Patches    - Positioning of Peyer's patches.    - The transition of microbial density from the small intestine to the colon and its immune implications.   6. Immune Cells in the Lamina Propria    - Overview of macrophages, dendritic cells, mast cells, plasma cells, and lymphocytes.    - Their role in maintaining immunological equilibrium in the gut.   7. The Mycobiome and Pathogenic Transition of Candida    - Candida's transition from yeast to hyphal form.    - Regulation of Candida by microbial competition and immune surveillance.    - Factors promoting pathogenicity: immune suppression, lacking beneficial microbes, more.   8. Virulence Factors of Candida    - Secretion of hydrolytic enzymes such as SAPs and phospholipases.    - Degradation of sIgA and its consequences for immune evasion.    - Adhesins that facilitate fungal binding.   9. Intestinal Barrier Disruption by Candida    - Penetration of the mucus layer and epithelial barrier by Candida hyphae.    - Disruption of tight junctions and the resulting increased intestinal permeability.    - Inflammatory cascade triggered by fungal antigens and microbial toxins entering the lamina propria.   10. Biofilm Formation     - The role of biofilms in shielding fungal cells from immune attack and antifungal treatments.   11. Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO)     - Intestinal dysmotility, low stomach acid, immunocompromise.     - Possible symptoms of SIFO.     - Discussion of the overlap between SIFO, SIBO, histamine intolerance, and other gastrointestinal conditions. - Root cause.

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…   Stefanie: Hyperhydrosis issues here! I've always had sweat profusely pouring from my hands and feet, even as a child. I'm healthy, very in tune with my body, a professional bodyworker myself, and lots of nervous system regulation as well. It's worse when I am very focused, not necessarily nervous. Any ideas on why or how to help resolve this issue?             Lynn: I am very sensitive to caffeine and have been trying to find a good decaf matcha green tea (or another type if that one isn't available). I noticed you had a recommendation for regular matcha in your resource page, but do you have any recommendations for a caffeine-free, organic ceremonial grade matcha? Thank you                                    Lara: Hi, dr. C, hope you're all well..I'm wondering about XXXX ionic foot bath therapy that uses negative ions to get rid of toxins from the body.. it comes with a chart to tell you where your toxins are coming from by the colour of the water.. do you think it actually works? It seems like it would be a great tool if it did what it says it does, but you are my go-to person to ask these things.. thank you and happy healing to everyone !                                               Milan: Dr.Cabral, I am an IHP and have ran OAT, MycoTox and gut microbiom for my client. There was SIBO and SIFO, but no leaky gut and no elevated mold markers. While we have worked on dysbiosis, gut symptoms are all gone. There is one remaining symptom left - fungal patches in the groin and armpit area. Isn't it strange that there are no elevated levels of mold neither at OAT nor at MycoTox test? Can it be really only local on the skin and not systemic? In such case, am I thinking right that local application of Citricidal with coconut oil, colodial silver and tea tree oil should heal skin fungal infection? What could be the cause?                                                                                                                                         Terri: Hi Doc! I've been listening to you for years and love your podcast! Here's a question I haven't heard. About a year ago, my bloodwork showed a high TSH and thankfully, my PCP was on board with me trying an elimination diet and allowing me to test once a month. I immediately eliminated gluten, dairy and soy and within a month my TSH fell into a normal, although not ideal, range. When my TSH was high, I noticed a small bump at the base of my big toe. It disappeared almost completely when my TSH dropped and reappeared when I tried reintroducing dairy and soy into my diet. My TSH also went back up at the same time. Could the bump on my toe be related to the thyroid or is this just coincidence?? It seems to appear and disappear with variations in my TSH. Thanks & keep up the amazing work!             Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3278 - - - 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?

I'm very excited to have naturopathic physician Dr. Mona Morstein on today's podcast to speak on treating candida! As an avid follower of her work, I was very interested in getting her insight on everything from fungal overgrowth symptoms to diagnosis, diets and treatments. Hear her take on the best testing methods and learn about her recommended treatment plan!   

Both personal and entertaining, Fungal: Foraging in the Urban Forest (Wolsak & Wynn, 2024) is the highly anticipated second book of a trilogy and shows Winnipeg author Ariel Gordon at her best: interweaving the personal with the easily-overlooked local and natural and local world around her, and passing on her contagious delight for the world at—and under—our feet. In a diverse range of essays, Gordon showcases her background in biology, taking us deep into the fungal world, exploring mushrooms both edible and not, found and foraged, and the myriad ways in which mushrooms and trees make up our ecosystem and are in fact a reflection of the way we build our own personal communities and connections. This collection of essays will resonate with anyone who's ever thought, “can I eat that?” when seeing a mushroom, but also those with larger questions about our place in the natural world. More About Ariel Gordon: Ariel Gordon (she/her) is a Winnipeg/Treaty 1 territory-based writer, editor, and enthusiast. She is the ringleader of Writes of Spring, a National Poetry Month project with the Winnipeg International Writers Festival that appears in the Winnipeg Free Press. Gordon's essay “Red River Mudlark” was 2nd place winner of the 2022 Kloppenberg Hybrid Grain Contest in Grain Magazine and other work appeared recently in FreeFall, Columba Poetry, Canthius, and Canadian Notes & Queries. Gordon's fourth collection of poetry, Siteseeing: Writing nature & climate across the prairies, was written in collaboration with Saskatchewan poet Brenda Schmidt and appeared in fall 2023. About Hollay Ghadery: Hollay Ghadery is an Iranian-Canadian multi-genre writer living in Ontario on Anishinaabe land. She has her MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Guelph.

Five years after COVID became a global pandemic, could another health crisis be on our horizon? According to scientists who study diseases, the possibility of a fungal pandemic—the subject of science fiction TV shows like “The Last of Us,” could be more of a reality, thanks to climate change and our warming planet. As fungi are adapting to warmer climates, they are becoming increasingly stronger and more resistant against the drugs we have to fight them.Arturo Casadevall is one of the scientists who is warning against fungi's powerful potential. He's a professor of microbiology and immunology at the Johns Hopkins' Bloomberg School of Public Health and the author of the new book, What If Fungi Win? He explains why fungi are becoming a growing public health threat, and what tools we have to protect ourselves from a future fungal outbreak.

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…   Varun: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am 43 year old male. I have been using CGM to monitor blood glucose level from past few weeks. I have noticed that blood sugar level remains within the range (fasting and after 2 hours). However, whenever I do high intensity weight workouts (fasting) my blood sugar level shows very high spikes (up to 8-10 mmol/L). It takes around 2 hours or so to come down below 5.6 mmol/L. My GP couldn't explain why this is happening. Have you seen this kind of phenomenon in your practice or research. I have predisposition to type 2 Diabetes due to family history, therefore I eat very clean diet, mostly plant based. I do 45 mins high intensity exercise weights/workout 4 days a week. I do EquiLife detox couple of times a year and did parasite and CBO protocol last year.     Matt: Hi Dr Cabral-Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and the results of all your hard work. I have high confidence that I have had untreated dental infections over the years and I have heard that this can affect the heart and the brain. In regards to the impact on the brain, what can I do at this point, where the damage has already been done, to stave off, if not reverse, the consequences?     Ryan: I went over 30 years without having jock itch, then I got it (self-diagnosed) about 7 months ago. I treated it with OTC medication to clear it up…but it has been recurring now. In the past 7 months I've probably had 8-9 bouts of it. What could be making me more susceptible to fungal overgrowth all the sudden?     Kristen: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for all the great free content you put out for the public, you are very appreciated! I've been struggling with mild to moderate acne for many years. I have tried pretty much everything. My diet is VERY clean and I have a very healthy lifestyle. I've seen many doctors and estheticians for this. I previously took out dairy for about a week or so to see if that was causing it, but nothing changed. I am very mindful of minimizing glucose spikes, as I know that can cause acne. I am really hesitant to start taking out foods and eliminating things. Should my next steps be to get a continuous glucose monitor to see if this is the cause? I know there are many episodes on this topic but I feel I'm doing all the 'things'. Thank you so much!   Jennifer: Hi Dr. Cabral, What are your thoughts on organic soy milk that is only made from water and soy beans? I've heard from lots of doctors online that it is the best plant milk as it helps prevent certain types of cancers like breast and prostrate and is a good source of plant protein.
