Microbiome Shorts: Candida and the mycobiome in health & disease
The mycobiome is a fascinating component of our overall microbiome, and there is still much to learn around the role that it plays, both in health, and disease. The Candida species have had a bad reputation over many years, and often got the blame for many health disorders, but often they are the symptom of a bigger problem. The host-mycobiota immune dance is such an important one, and much is still to learn about the specific mechanisms we have evolved to co- inhabit with our fungal friendsIn this short webinar we will discuss the role that that Candida species and the rest of the mycobiome plays in health and disease, and examine a few clinical considerations in support
Objectives
- Introduction to the concept of the mycobiome
- How mycobiome imbalance is a sign of a bigger ecosystem imbalance – working with immunity, missing microbes, digestive capacity, mucosal health, blood glucose control
- Lifestyle, dietary and supplemental interventions when working with Candida or fungal overgrowth
