My Candida Yeast Overgrowth Treatment
My Candida Yeast Overgrowth Treatment
by Jen Springer
Dealing with candida is frustrating. The things you need to stop are the things you crave.
Sometimes it feels like punishment more than a cure. Unfortunately, for a person who deals with chronic candida overgrowth these are lifelong changes.
Warning: you may hate me if you keep reading and try these things! (You might not like the changes I list below.)
Want to know the reason uncontrollable yeast? It is there because it can be. Period.
Yeast doesn’t grow out of control without reason. Something happened and allowed already present yeast in your system to grow out of control.
The secret to curing candida is to figure out WHY it’s there and make your body a place where it can’t grow anymore.
You cannot do yeast cleanses and expect them to hold if the underlying cause is not addressed. It will grow back again and again. Most people pimping candida or fungus killing product won’t tell you this – but I am here to be frank with you when nobody else will.
The first step to killing off yeast is to stop the nourishing the yeast and make your digestive tract stronger.
What feeds yeast like gasoline on a fire? SUGAR. All forms of sugar. This includes: honey, agave, table sugar, maple syrup, alcohol, fruit sugar, brown rice syrup, etc. What doesn’t feed yeast that is sweet? Stevia, plus it’s also anti-fungal.
What else feeds yeast? Fermented foodstuffs & drink and refined carbs. Alcohol, vinegars, pickles, and condiments. Some people may find benefit from home made cultured veggies and kombucha, personally it grew my yeast and I couldn’t do them until my body was somewhat repaired.
Eliminating refined carbs is the no brainer nobody wants to do: breads, pasta, white rice, potatoes, and any other grain that has been ground up. Some people may be able to do complex carbs like wild rice, sweet potatoes, and quinoa. I could in extreme moderation. If you try it and your symptoms come back, you know it’s a culprit.
All other foods you know are allergens must be elimnated to fix allow the intestines to heal. If you’re on a budget, get rid of the fab 4 for at least 6 months: gluten/wheat, dairy (casein/whey), soy, corn. The gut can’t heal if they keep getting irritated.
If it’s in the budget, I highly encourage the ALCAT test for allergies. This identifies all sources of inflammation in one test. I had guessed for years what I was reacting to. One test and I knew for sure.
Now that you’ve gotten rid of the fuel it’s time for the rebuilding process.
My protocol:
1. Life 5 probiotics. If a probiotic doesn’t have lactoferrin in it, I won’t waste my time. Lactoferrin goes after the yeast roots (rhysomes) and gets them out of the gut lining. Also has billions and billions of super strains of pro-bacteria. I did 3 right before bed on an empty stomach for at least a year!
2. Cleansing Trio. This is a 2-3 week gentle cleanse designed to scrub out yeast, parasites, encrusted intestinal waste, and tone the intestines. (Full Directions Here)
3. Longevity Caps. Yeast killer! I started with 1 in the morning and 1 at lunch. Then I worked up to 2 in the morning and 2 at lunch. I don’t do these at night because they may cancel out Life 5′s actions.
4. Kolorex extract. 1 cap twice a day with the Longevity caps.
5. Lot’s of fresh garlic in my food.
If you like this protocol, print out the super detailed instructions HERE.
Recently I have added one more thing to this protocol. It’s a tea that has anti-fungal ingredients. It was designed for weight loss, but I have found it’s amazing for controlling yeast and craving. It’s called Slique Tea and I drink it all day long because it tastes amazing!
I found out if yeast is killed off too fast, it will come out your skin. Years ago I had made drastic changes in my diet and added yeast killing supplements without doing the Cleansing Trio first. Because my body wasn’t eliminating properly, the yeast couldn’t leave fast enough and I developed little itchy bumps all over my back. I backed off the yeast killing program a bit, did the cleanse, and increased water. No more problems!
These changes will get you off to a good start. Repairing a yeast damage takes time, months or even years. Be aware of symptoms and what triggers them. Go slow and be patient.

Anxiety Cause: Candida Yeast Overgrowth
Anxiety Cause: Candida Yeast Overgrowth
by Jen Springer
Itchy butt & private parts, wet ears, and red scaly skin.
YUCK, but this is very real and it is a super common cause of fatigue, anxiety, panic attacks, memory loss, foggy thinking, hormone imbalance, flatulence, toenail icks, and skin rashes.
I was so grossed out by the yeast pictures on the internet, I couldn’t even stomach to post one here. (Search Candida and be ready to gag.) So you got a mushroom! Not remotely close to candida except they belong to the same scientific classification of the fungi kingdom. Outside of that they are completely different, most mushrooms are health giving and candida is health robbing.
Most people don’t know candida overgrowth can be a hidden factor to anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. I have had my own personal struggle with candida for years.
I had many of the typical and common candida symptoms such as:
- bloating around the mid section
- itchy and wet ears
- white bumps on the back of my arms and upper legs
- white coating on my tongue
- gas
- inability to lose weight
- anxiety/mood issues
- food allergies
- urinary and vaginal infections
- body inflammation
- brain fog
- fatigue
- insatiable cravings for sugar and breads
- constant dry cough
We are all individuals these symptoms can be the same of different than mine. I even developed asthma at one point! I don’t have asthma! There was so much yeast in my body that it was harbored my lungs too and I would wheeze.
My intestines must have looked like Swiss cheese from the yeast roots taking hold. Candida overgrowth is a major contributing factor to food allergies. Food particles pass through the tiny holes from the yeast (aka: leaky gut) and circulate throughout the body. The body freaks out because it thinks the undigested food is a threat and releases attack chemicals. These chemicals can create feelings of restlessness, anxiety, and even panic attacks.
When the body is full of yeast, the body is at a heightened state and extremely reactive. Emotions run high, hands and fingers wave when someone cuts you off in traffic . Minute amounts of physical exertion create massive inflammation. PMS cramps double you over. Meals result in immediate flatulence, belching, and bloating.

My body didn’t need tranquilizers or the purple pill, it needed the candida killed off.

Simple Anxiety Therapy Exercise
Simple Anxiety Therapy Exercise
by Jen Springer
Exercise is an important part of any health and wellness routine.
But sometimes, finding the time, or the place, or the right kind of exercise can cause the very anxiety attacks it’s suppose to help cure.
Here’s a little anxiety therapy exercise you can do anywhere, any time you feel your stress level start to rise:
Take a look around your surroundings. Find and focus on one object that is pleasant to look it. It may be small or large, brightly colored or quiet and dark. If you’re outdoors, for example, it may be a leaf on a bush, or the mailbox on the corner.
Whatever it is, you want to focus all your attention on this object as you inhale and exhale slowly and deeply for one to two minutes. While you are doing this exercise, try not to let any other thoughts or feelings enter your mind. If they do, just return your attention to the object.
At the end of this exercise you will probably feel more peaceful and calmer.
Any tension or nervousness that you were feeling should be diminished. In fact, the more often you do this, the faster and easier it should become to “train” your body to calm itself. What may have taken you five minutes the first time you did this, may only take two after a while.
Try this simple anxiety therapy the next time you feel those unsettling feelings trying to take over your sanity.

Exactly How to Do a Whole Body Detox
Exactly How to Do a Whole Body Detox
by Jen Springer
Cleansing doesn’t have to be hard or taste like stagnant pond water.
I love the idea of 2 scoops of this and 1/3 of a tablet of that makes the yuck go away!
It can be that simple, that’s the way is should be.
The first time I did this cleanse, I was so excited and relieved that everything was outlined for me. I’m not so great at keeping myself on track, that darn wagon is so easy to fall off of.
In case you missed the directions, you can find them HERE. I tweaked it a bit and made it my own, of course!
A few things were changed up so that I could really work on the inflammation I’ve been feeling the last few months. The juice before bed is meant to pull out acid and help my body become more alkaline. The Omega Blue helps inflammation as well because of the omega 3′s from the fish oil.
The other angle I took for reducing inflammation was to target the adrenals. The PD 80/20 is pregnenolone and DHEA – both help a stressed set of adrenal glands. The best way I have found to help kick start the hypothalamus is to place some DHEA under the tongue. It doesn’t have any taste thank goodness!
The other endocrine helper I used were the Thyromin in the morning, Endoflex in the lunch smoothie, and 4 Multigreens with dinner. Thyromin and Multigreens helps my low thyroid and give me energy – without stimulants.
This cleanse can be done without added supplements, but I had chronic nagging pain to get rid of so I hit it hard! It worked. As a result, my pain level is down 50%. I’m going to do the cleanse again in a few weeks and see what happens, why not?
Without further ado, here’s the custom adrenal building / anti-inflammatory 5 day whole body detox I created for myself:
RIGHT WHEN I WOKE UP:
8 ounce glass of water with ½ a fresh lemon or lime juice
1/3 of a capsule of PD 80/20 under my tongue, holding it for one minute
BREAKFAST:
2 scoops Balance Complete with ½ dropper of YL Stevia and 5 drops orange oil
3 Thyromin
3 Omega Blue
1 Digest & Cleanse
2 Comfortone
SNACK:
3 ounces Ningxia Red
½ Cup Granny Smith Apple, Berries, or Bing Cherries
LUNCH:
2 scoops Balance Complete with ½ dropper of YL Stevia, 1 drop Endoflex Oil
1 Super B (expect a niacin flush!)
Snack:
2 ounces of Almonds, Walnuts, or Pine Nuts
½ Cup Granny Smith Apple, Berries, or Bing Cherries
DINNER:
2 scoops Balance Complete with ½ dropper of YL Stevia and 5 drops tangerine oil
3 Omega Blue
2 Comfortone
4 Multigreens
1 Digest & Cleanse
SNACK:
Vegetable Juice: 1 very large cucumber or celery heart. Juice the WHOLE thing, peel and all. Dilute 50/50 with water add a sprig of fresh mint leaves or a bit of lime juice if desired, drink it all. YUM!
BEFORE BED:
1/3 of a capsule of PD 80/20 under the tongue, hold for one minute
1 Life 5
- 4 drops of peppermint oil in one gallon of water. Drank this throughout the day.
What should you expect from a cleanse? You could have less pain and inflammation like me. Or, if you’re craving salt and sugar that may subside. Allergies, what allergies?!? One of my favorite outcomes is when people report to me that they could just put down cigarettes EFFORTLESSLY because of cleansing.
Now you’re asking, “Where do I get this stuff?”
I know, a few dozen of you have already sent me requests asking for the source and I apologize for the delay!
The above products come from Young Living. I have been using for over 10 years and love them as much now as I did then. The very first cleanse that helped me go from a 1-bowel-movement-a-week person to a “regular” daily person was from them too! The stuff works and I trust recommending it to you.
I’ve heard stories where people pick up some random product from the local health food store have skin break outs, headaches, or major colon blowout – I don’t want that to happen to you! This is so gentle you can still work and live a normal life while you do it.
If you’re a do-it-yourself person, you can go to the Young Living site direct by clicking HERE. Or, if you want to ask me questions regarding your personal situation email me at Jen@NaturalAnxietyTherapy.com. I’ll help you get going in the right direction.
Here’s a question for you -
Are you feeling blah, sluggish, bloated, and all around toxic? Yes? Let’s work together and get your body working the way it supposed to. Feeling good is your birthright!

Review of the 5 Day Whole Body Cleanse
Review of the 5 Day Whole Body Cleanse
by Jen Springer
Yay, I’m done!
This cleanse taught me a lot. It’s been about 5 years since I’ve actually done an intense targeted cleanse. I’d been taking nutrients to build my body and bring it back from the brink so it had the ju-ju to detoxify itself on a daily basis (adrenal support, B vitamins, minerals, enzymes, probiotics, etc.). But to do a cleansing fast, nope it’s been a while.
In the end, I lost 5 pounds and my tummy is F-L-A-T. My cravings are gone, connective tissue inflammation is down and that gross bloated feeling is gone.
The cleanse was a success and I reached my goals. I’m happy!
You’re probably thinking this is the miracle cleanse and you just can’t wait to do it, right? Let me fill you in on the bit of the non-sugar coated details before you decide if this is for you.
Why I am I telling you the gory details? To let you know this is normal and to be expected!
I’m not not a regular “mover”, I mean … I have to take herbs, probiotics, fiber, stay hydrated, and minerals to keep my bowel moving regularly. So who only know’s what was hanging out in my colon because the second night’s bowel movement could have peeled paint off the walls. If I was in a public bathroom, I would have lost friends! Super stinky.
My guess is that I was getting rid of undigested protein that was hanging around in my digestive tract. It got better as the days went on and nasty stuff exited my body. Plus, I added some pro-biotics to help THAT situation.
Another thing I noticed is my body odor. I didn’t have any throughout the week. My theory is when I eliminated hard to digest protein throughout the week like eggs, meat, and cheese my body didn’t have that toxic undigested protein smell. I was happy to realized that this cleanse rested my gut so I could make it stronger and hopefully have better digestion when I start eating these proteins again.
The last thing I noticed was how my weight fluctuated. In the first 48 hours I dropped 3 pounds. As the days went on the last few pounds came off. What was interesting is that some days I woke up and weighed up to 1 pound MORE than I did the night before! Throughout the day I would lose up to 2 more pounds and in the evening I’d be up a pound. The scale went up and down like notes on sheet music. In the end, I was down – yay!
3 most important things I learned?
1. Stay hydrated! I don’t know the exact amount, all I know is I always had water in hand and was drinking it.
2. Keep your bowels moving. A few a day keeps the bloated belly away! Have an herbal tea with cascara sagrada (I like Smooth Move by Traditional Medicinals) on hand if you start to get backed up. I also keep my Vitamin C and magnesium up, they are my secret bowel moving weapons.
3. Don’t let what the scale is doing panic you! Understand you’ll go up and down, don’t sweat it.
Was this a piece of cake? No, but it helped that my detox smoothie tasted like cake! I would have liked food, but all the fiber in the program made this tolerable and kept me from falling off the detox wagon.
Next post I will share my general outline that I am going to use with my readers and clients as a result of this adventure. It’s always my intention to have personal experience with anything I recommend to make sure it works.
Now this post is one that needs to be shared if you or anyone you know has, will, or are thinking about cleansing. Share the love by using the simple buttons below to tell your friends on Facebook and Twitter!
