Continue your professional development with our The three faces of candida: Their significance in clinical practice
This program goes beyond the basics to help you truly understand Candida. You will learn about its three distinct forms—yeast, fungal, and dormant—and how each one impacts the body. The course then connects this science to practical clinical work, explaining why infections persist and how to tackle them effectively. By the end, you’ll have a clear, step-by-step protocol that you can use to help your clients overcome Candida for good.
Examples of the questions it will answer:
- How do Candida’s different forms (yeast, fungal, and dormant) impact its ability to resist treatment, and why does this make it so hard to eliminate?
- What are the most common, overlooked triggers that cause Candida to overgrow and become a pathogen in our clients?
- How do biofilms protect Candida from the immune system and antifungal treatments, and how can we effectively break them down?
- Beyond simple dietary changes, what are the crucial first steps in a protocol that truly targets the root cause of the infection?
- What are the specific, client-focused strategies that ensure long-term success and prevent Candida from returning?
Finally, it will share practical clinical strategies, client motivation tips, and individual program guidance
