Yeast overgrowth, a condition called candidiasis, can affect virtually any organ in the body. 

The effects of yeast overgrowth are wide-ranging. Yeast may cause chronic fatigue, recurrent yeast infections, abdominal bloating and indigestion, headaches and skin rashes, immune suppression and chemical sensitivity, depression, and joint pain.

A member of the fungus family, yeast can flourish in your body if your immune system is depressed or if the naturally occurring bacteria in your system are destroyed.

A leading cause of yeast overgrowth is the use of antibiotics that destroy good bacteria along with the bad, allowing yeast to proliferate in the digestive tract and vagina.

Sadly, this is a problem of which many mainstream physicians are completely unaware. Instead of treating the underlying cause of their patients’ poor health, they treat the individual symptoms using antibiotics, antihistamines, antidepressants, anti-inflammatories and so forth.

It’s a vicious cycle that is hard to break.

At the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, we use a three-pronged approach to treating yeast overgrowth:

Step 1: Eradicate the existing yeast in the colon

Step 2: Eliminate dietary sources of yeast

Step 3: Repopulate the colon with beneficial bacteria

Our treatment regimen for yeast overgrowth includes medication to kill yeast, natural remedies to restore the normal bacteria, as well as dietary solutions to restore balance to your gastrointestinal system.

This treatment strengthens your immune system by lowering the yeast load on your system while lessening the risk of infection and the need for antibiotics.
