What Is Lite Program?
Rather than relying on aggressive or long-term food restriction, detox protocols, or heavy supplement use, the Lite Program focuses on food and lifestyle first, using a simple three-stage approach to clean and calm digestion, reduce gut stress, and create a stable foundation for recovery.
The goal is to support the gut in the correct order —first by lowering digestive strain and fermentation, then by improving balance and resilience—so progress and symptom improvement feels steady and sustainable, not forced.

What This Program Includes
The Lite Program is not a quick fix or a highly-restrictive Candida diet. It is a structured and proven 3-step system that removes myths and confusion and helps you take the right steps towards recovery in the right order. You’ll find:
Each stage builds on the previous one. You do not need to do everything at once, and you can revisit stages as needed. Progress should feel steady, calm, and manageable.
The 3 Stages of the Candida Cleanse Lite Program
The 3 Stages of the Candida Cleanse Lite Program
Step 1 – REMOVE
Calm and Cleanse
Stage 1 – low fermentation recipes.
Stage 1 removes foods that fuel Candida and bacterial overgrowth while calming digestion. The gut is gently cleanse and meals are kept simple to reduce fermentation, gas, bloating, and gut irritation—helping symptoms settle quickly and safely.
Step 2 – REPLACE
Restore Digestion
Stage 2 – digestive support recipes
Stage 2 restores proper digestion by replacing what’s missing—digestive acid and bile support, and beneficial bacteria. As food is broken down and absorbed more efficiently, fermentation, gas, and irritation reduce, allowing calm and effective gut function.
Step 3 – REBUILD
Strengthen and Diversify
Stage 3 – gut resilience recipes
Stage 3 focuses on rebuilding long-term gut resilience by strengthening the gut lining and supporting healthy gut microbial balance. Food variety is gradually expanded in a controlled way to improve tolerance, restore balance, and reduce the risk of relapse.
