Gut Health Category

The Gut Health category explores the foundation of all health: the digestive system. This section goes beyond Candida overgrowth to cover a wide range of chronic gut issues—such as IBS, IBD, SIBO, leaky gut, dysbiosis, and more—that frequently overlap and complicate Candida recovery. These conditions don’t occur in isolation; they’re often interconnected through the same underlying drivers: inflammation, immune dysfunction, poor diet, stress, and disrupted microbiota.

Here, you’ll find a wealth of naturopathic insight into how to identify and address these gut issues using functional medicine principles. We dive deep into the gut microbiome—how it functions, how it becomes imbalanced, and how to repair it through targeted lifestyle, dietary, and supplemental interventions.

We also examine how Candida, bacterial overgrowth, and inflammatory conditions often go hand in hand—and why restoring gut integrity is the key to lasting wellness.

SIFO

Candida overgrowth has long been linked to gut symptoms, especially in people with weakened immune systems or those using antibiotics or steroids. Recent findings show that Candida can also colonise the small intestine in more healthy people, leading to Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO).

Gut Microbiome Restoration

The gut microbiome refers to the vast community of microorganisms—bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes—that collectively live in our small and large intestines. These microbes predominantly occupy our large intestine, and collectively make up the gut microbiome.
