Candida and Nutrition
What is Candida Albicans?
Candida Albicans is a naturally occurring yeast residing in the intestinal flora which can over-grow due to the ingestion of antibiotics, diets containing yeast, wheat, sugar and vinegar, and prescription and non-prescription drugs i.e birth control. Candida is common in our society because of our over-use of antibiotics, a diet of refined foods and high in sugar, lifestyle, and many other factors. Many people all over the world have had varying success rates combating candida.
With Crossinology Brain Integration, candida is easy to deal with because we can “balance” the body to reject the overgrowth.
During your sessions you will be monitored for candida. Candida can cross the blood/brain barrier and grow in the cranium (fungus on your brain). It is important for the BIT practitioner to know if the body has this overgrowth, because an unattended overgrowth will mask the brain’s abilities and may devalue the Brain Integration you receive.
A short list of candida symptoms include:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Foggy brain
- Sugar craving
- Gastrointestinal stress
- Bloating
- Thrush
- Vaginal yeast infection
- Emotional Instability
- Allergies
- Poor Digestion
- Inability to “think straight”
- Athlete’s Foot
- Toenail Fungus
Candida to Brain Integration is like kryptonite to Superman. Individuals who refuse to address Candida may not see the results they are looking for from Crossinology Brain Integration.
You will be asked to change your diet if candida is present. By changing your diet, you will ensure that your gut flora is working correctly, which in turn will affect your whole health, and most importantly, the functioning of the brain.

How are probiotics/prebiotics important to candida albicans?
The health of Americans has been in a dire state for a long time; diabetes and heart disease ruling the top of the charts for decades, with cancer being not far behind. New research shows that the health of your gut indicates the health of you in general – and the two important factors of gut health are diet and microbiome (the bugs in your guts). Dr. David Perlmutter, the famous author of “Grain Brain” and “Brain Maker” illustrates this concept in his writings that has Americans looking to improve their health by understanding this relationship.
"Eating well is like putting gas in your car. Your car doesn't run well on sugar and neither does your body."
That’s why probiotics (the general name for lots and lots and lots of different supplements and food) are so common today. Probiotics are the little bugs in your guts. Another term we need to know is prebiotic. Prebiotics are the food that the little bugs eat to grow, and sustain a healthy biome. This biome digests your food.
The number one threat to the microbiome, that I know of, is candida albicans – but it is also necessary! Candida naturally exists in the gut. Things get problematic, however, when the candida OVERGROWS and pushes out other gut bacteria. Then, the candida fosters almost every symptom you have ever heard of and sets the stage for the top health concerns we talked about earlier. Even cancer!
To overgrow, candida eats sugar, vinegar, yeast, and anything fermented and releases acetaldehyde, which, at toxic levels, makes you feel drunk. I sometimes wonder if the suspect behavior we see in the public isn’t due to people being “drunk” on this inner fungus! It certainly makes sense with all the sugar that is pushed in the American diet (think large Dunkies with 4 sugars to get my drift or RedBull and coke, or just soda for that matter). Ingestion of antibiotics is another key factor here. Therefore it is always a good idea to cut sugar, yeast and other candida causing foods to avoid almost any health problem in the future.
