Did you know that 75% of women are likely to have at least one yeast infection throughout their lifetime? Keep in mind that yeast infections are not just limited to women. Today, I want to talk about a really wonderful formulation called Nutristatin 144 that is extremely targeted towards that pesky overgrowth of candida. Candida is naturally occurring in our bodies, but if we have too much of it, it can start to raise havoc in our bodies. I want to talk about what is contained in this formula and give a bit of a background on yeast infections and candida in general.†

How common are fungal infections?

Let’s talk about fungus. When it comes to fungal infections, Candida albicans is the organism that is responsible for the most fungal infections. Fungal infections can occur in almost any part of the body. Oftentimes, people can get fungal infections on their skin and you’ll see hypopigmentation. This can be exacerbated when the skin is exposed to sun.†

We also know that candida can overgrow in the mouth, which is known as oral thrush. When we look at candida overgrowth in the gut, that can be incredibly problematic because it starts to impact our inflammatory response and our immune system.†

How to prevent candida overgrowth

Generally speaking, when someone has a fungal infection such as a yeast infection or a fungal infection, they are given a strong anti-fungal medication by their doctor. Sometimes this is incredibly warranted, depending on the severity of the candida overgrowth. But we also have to look at what we can be doing on a regular basis.†

We know that there are dietary modifications that can help fend off candida overgrowth. Limiting sugar consumption is very important. No sugary beverages and no ultra-processed sugary foods. We want to make sure that we are taking in natural sugars coming from fruits and vegetables that provide fiber.† 

Whenever you’re on an antibiotic, it is always advantageous to follow up with probiotics. This helps to lay down good, healthy bacteria in the intestines. That good, healthy bacteria can really help to prevent that fungal overgrowth. We can look at things like resveratrol, which does a wonderful job when it comes to easing inflammation and targeting fungus.†

I want to talk specifically about Nutristatin 144. This contains nutrients that we know have been studied extensively when it comes to targeting fungal overgrowth. It has garlic extract, grape seed extract, peppermint extract and caprylic extract. Caprylic extract is a very powerful way for the body to naturally target candida. Caprylic acid, which comes from coconut, does a wonderful job in poking holes through fungus. The more holes we poke in the fungus, the easier it is for our body to remove it.† 

In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH discusses candida, a very common fungus that can cause a variety of issues including oral thrush and yeast infections. She discusses different nutrients that can help fend off fungi, especially those included in the Nutristatin 144 formulation.†

Key Topics:

  • Who is more at risk for developing fungal infections
  • Healthy strains of bacteria
  • The many benefits of resveratrol
  • The important constituents in Nutristatin 144

We all know that sugar is something we should really try to avoid at all costs when it comes to our dietary intake. But when we look at the mental health implications that go along with high sugar intake, this is when it becomes incredibly alarming. Today, I want to talk about the true impact that sugars have when it comes to our mental health.†

The relationship between sugar and health 

When we look at our society as a whole, we know that Americans intake way too much sugar. The average American adult consumes roughly around 75 to 80 grams of sugar per day, which is three times the recommended amount. These sugars come from sugary beverages and high-processed foods.†

Then we look at all of the health implications that go along with sugar consumption, beyond that of just diabetes. That’s the first thing that most people think about, but we also have to think about the mental health implications.†

There was data collected in the UK where researchers followed over 10,000 men and women for 30 years, between the years of 1983 and 2013. The researchers were looking at their dietary intake of processed sugars and trying to see if there was any type of increased risk for developing a mental health disorder such as anxiety and depression. The reason why it is so critical to draw this correlation is because over 40 million adults in the United States suffer from mental health conditions.†

These findings are also extremely alarming as researchers have predicted that by the year 2030, major depression will be the leading cause of disability in economically privileged countries.† 

Stopping the effects of sugar on mental health

There is a very simple fix to help stop the impacts of sugar on mental health status. We stop with the sugary beverages and the processed foods. We start eating whole foods again and start to consume things like water or green tea, as opposed to sugar water, which is not only harmful to our mental health, but also to our energy status and overall well-being.†

Anxiety disorder itself is highly treatable. Unfortunately, many people who have it are given anxiolytic drugs, but they are never given the advice that they should change their diet. Perhaps it’s their diet that’s driving so much of this by basically disrupting the normal communication pathways within the brain, which is incredibly problematic.†

In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH discusses how the high-sugar foods we eat so frequently can impact mental health. She details several studies on this topic and provides explanations of how sugar works within the body.†

Key Topics:

  • How much sugar should you be taking in a day
  • Research on sugar and mental health
  • How sugar works within the body
