A Candida overgrowth diagnosis has long been controversial and even sometimes dismissed outright as imaginary. However, for countless patients, the symptoms are very real and too often go unnoticed because physicians fail to connect the dots. At last, Dean Mitchell, MD, a nationally recognized expert on Candida, and nutritionist Joelle Mitchell, RD, offer a long overdue and up-to-date resource. Conquering Candida offers a diagnostic questionnaire based on breakthroughs in microbiome science and the latest research, cutting-edge testing and treatment options that provide evidence-based ways to restore gut microbiome balance, a protocol based on the 4 stages of Candida that Dr. Mitchell has identified, and a 30-day Candida diet that's doable and won't cause feelings of deprivation. Finally, Candida sufferers can end their frustration and stop having to go from doctor to doctor to get relief and know how to maintain gut health.
