A new study has shown Candida, a common fungal infection, can cross the blood-brain barrier and eventually cause Alzheimer's or dementia. In all cases of Alzheimer's or dementia, there's brain inflammation (neuroinflammation). But, inflammation doesn't just 'magically' appear. Something has to cause the inflammation. The three big causes of brain inflammation are HIGH CIRCULATING INSULIN, LEAKY GUT SYNDROME, and FREE RADICAL DAMAGE. Any of these can lead to dementia and Alzheimer's. This new study has shown once again Leaky Gut Syndrome can be directly linked to brain disorders. In this episode we talk about the two reasons why candida can even get into your brain in the first place. We talk about low stomach acid and leaky gut syndrome. We also share how to protect your brain from candida.
