The Men’s Health category is dedicated to helping men understand and overcome the often-overlooked issue of Candida overgrowth and other associated fungal overgrowth. While many assume yeast infections only affect women, men can experience a wide range of symptoms—often without realising Candida is the root cause. These include jock itch, genital yeast infections, bloating, skin rashes, brain fog, fatigue, and recurring digestive issues.
This section explores the specific causes of Candida in men, including antibiotic use, poor diet, high alcohol intake, chronic stress, low testosterone, and weakened immunity. You’ll find clear, naturopathic guidance on how to identify the signs of yeast overgrowth and what to do about it—without guesswork or unnecessary medications.
From natural antifungal protocols to practical lifestyle upgrades, this category provides men with the tools they need to restore balance, rebuild gut health, and improve vitality at every stage of life.

Many men suffer silently with ongoing discomfort or embarrassing symptoms, unaware that yeast overgrowth could be behind them. This category gives you clear answers and actionable strategies based on over three decades of clinical experience—so you can get back to feeling strong, focused, and in control of your health.
The herpes simplex virus (HSV) leads to oral and genital herpes, as well as infections in other parts of the body. While fluid-filled blisters on the skin are a common symptom, many individuals may not experience any symptoms. A simple blood test can determine if HSV is present in the body.
Preventing male yeast infections, particularly jock itch, requires a proactive approach that includes proper hygiene, dietary modifications, and lifestyle changes. Let’s look at the best steps men can take to lower their risk of developing or prolonging genital and groin fungal infections.
Jock itch, or tinea cruris, is a common fungal infection closely related to ringworm. It appears as an itchy, often burning rash, typically affecting the groin, inner thighs, and buttocks. Although uncomfortable, jock itch can be effectively treated at home with proper hygiene and care.
Jock itch (tinea cruris), is a fungal infection of the skin that affects the groin, inner thighs, and buttocks. It’s caused by dermatophytes, mould-like fungi that thrive in warm, moist environments. The infection creates a red, scaly, and itchy rash that can also appear grey or brown on darker skin.
While male yeast infections are often overlooked, they’re actually quite common, with many contributing factors leading to an overgrowth of Candida, a type of yeast responsible for these infections. Through years of clinical practice, I’ve observed several recurring triggers in men, ranging from lifestyle choices and diet to environmental influences.
Penile yeast infections can affect men of all ages, which are a major problem that is often ignored. They are mostly caused by the yeast Candida albicans and can cause itching, pain, irritation, and other symptoms if not handled properly.
When most people think of yeast infections, they typically associate them with women, but men are not immune to this common health issue. In fact, male yeast infections are more common than you might expect, sweet foods and alcohol consumption can play a significant role in their development.
Candida yeast infections are seen as women’s problems. While it is true that women are more likely to get yeast infections than men, guys get yeast infections too. And sometimes pretty bad, as I’ve discovered through my clinical work, specialising in Candida.
