How to Cure Candida – Medication and Lifestyle Changes that Work with Bryana Burken, PharmD, RPh

Could yeast overgrowth be contributing to symptoms like brain fog, bloating, fatigue, or persistent sugar cravings? In this episode, Bryana Burken, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, explains the purpose behind the yeast-free eating program and why addressing gut health is an important part of the Hotze Health & Wellness Center’s approach to wellness. She discusses how Candida naturally exists throughout the body but may become problematic when it overgrows, potentially contributing to digestive issues, recurrent yeast infections, oral thrush, skin concerns, headaches, fatigue, and brain fog.

Bryana explores factors that may contribute to yeast overgrowth and discusses the relationship between gut health and food sensitivities. It is important to repair the gut before moving forward with other therapies. The yeast-free eating program focuses on temporarily eliminating foods that contain or feed yeast,  while emphasizing whole foods.

The episode also explains how dietary changes may be combined with prescription antifungal therapy. Bryana emphasizes that the program is intended to address yeast overgrowth in a structured way rather than serve as a permanently restrictive diet. After completing the program, guests gradually reintroduce foods while continuing to support a healthier gut environment. The goal is to reduce symptoms such as bloating and brain fog, support energy and immune function, and create a healthier foundation for the body’s response to other wellness therapies.
