Welcome to the whole view. I'm Stacy Toth of realeverything.com. I'm all about loving

the skin you're in and being healthy inside and out.

And I'm Dr. Sarah Bountine of the Paleumum.com. I believe that scientific literacy is the key

to improving public health.

Welcome back to the whole view. This week we're going to be talking about Candida and I'm

super excited because Sarah, I know that you're going to approach this to bust a miss and

to also do some facts and science. My favorite kind of show is when you get fired up because

there are people on the internet telling other people to do things that's not based in science

and I have a feeling there might be a little bit of that coming.

No, not just a little bit. So much of it. So much of it. Okay, this is a total spoiler for all

of the content we're about to go through. But like I feel like I've had to answer questions about

various Candida cleanses in its relationship to the AIP like several thousand times over the last

few years. And I've always had sort of this at least surface understanding of what's eliminated

on a Candida cleanse. And I've really seen it as being incompatible with the Ottoman protocol

because they're then eliminating so many different things that you can't get the food variety in

order to get nutrients efficiency. But as I dug into the literature on this to see like what's the,

you know, most of these types of things have at least a kernel of truth behind the facets,

right? Like they don't get to be this popular when they're based on no science, except apparently

for Candida cleanses because it's, it's almost, I mean, we'll get into it, but it's, it's almost the

opposite thing. Like if you actually look at the scientific papers that have been done, the strategy

is almost, almost like completely the reverse of what would even make sense. And even that is

still not the right approach. It's, but we're going to have fun. We're going to have fun
