Yeast infections are common, especially among women. They can be localized such as in the vaginal area or they may become systemic throughout the body. If the candida organism does become systemic it has a metabolic-suppressing ability sufficient enough to make weight loss extremely difficult.
How do you get a systemic yeast infection? The most common ways are antibiotic abuse, steroid drugs, and birth control medications. It can also be sexually transmitted. If any of these situations have been in your life you may wish to find out if you have a systemic yeast situation. Check back soon for more information about Dr Whiting on the Dr Oz Candida Show.
