37. Candida and Histamine: Why Fungal Overgrowth Keeps Coming Back

·14 min·1 clip

Joanne Kennedy argues that chronic use of antifungal herbs can damage beneficial gut bacteria and worsen the terrain, making fungal rebound more likely.

This episode explores why candida and fungal overgrowth often recur despite antifungal treatments, arguing that the problem lies in the gut's internal environment or 'terrain' rather than the fungus itself. Host Joanne Kennedy explains how factors like pH imbalance, digestive secretions, microbiome diversity, immune signaling, gut lining integrity, and nervous system state create conditions for fungal persistence and increase histamine production.
