how to reduce yeast (candida) infections
did you know hormone imbalances can cause yeast infections?🥲
yeast (Candida) love thrive with hormone fluctuations because our pH changes! If you find that you’re always getting yeast infections during ovulation (peak estrogen) or before or after your period then your hormones may be out of balance!
1) Focusing on balancing estrogen can really help reduce yeast infections ✨
2) cut back on carbs!! For 3-10 days cut back on rice, wheat, pasta, sugar, crackers, cookies, bread etc. this will stop giving the Candida fuel & symptoms will ease up ✨
3) change out of sweaty activewear: this is a moist environment that yeast & bad bacteria can thrive
4) cut back on sugary coffee & soda: again carbs (sugar) are fuel to the Candida + caffeine can increase symptoms as well ☕️
5) eat/take probiotics: you want to restore balance to your microbiome & adding good bacteria cultures can be beneficial!
6) use fragrance free menstrual care & feminine care: fragrance contains ingredients that can disrupt pH which can lead to infections
7) reduce ultra processed & fast food: these cause inflammation & reduce your ability to fight yeast infections
8) stay hydrated: proper hydration helps maintain your vaginal microbiome & pH!
Hope this helps xx
