Ep. 200 - Conquering Candida with Dr. Dean Mitchell and Dr. Dana Cohen | 200th Episode Special
Description
Celebrate our 200th episode as Dr. Dana Cohen turns the tables and interviews host Dr. Dean Mitchell about his new book on Candida and what it really takes to heal. They trace the evolution from Dr. William Crook’s classic work to today’s microbiome science, explain why Candida overgrowth is still misunderstood, and lay out a clear clinical approach that actually helps patients feel better fast.
Listen for practical guidance on recognizing symptoms beyond vaginal yeast infections, the link between Candida and issues like chronic sinusitis, brain fog, and fatigue, and why diversity in the microbiome matters. Dr. Mitchell walks through his step-by-step protocol, including the role of diet, when antifungals like nystatin and fluconazole are appropriate, why certain herbs require caution, and how mast cell activation may overlap with Candida symptoms. You will also learn why testing is tricky, how his 15 question checklist guides diagnosis, and how to expand your diet after the first four to six weeks without backsliding.
If you or someone you love is dealing with persistent, unexplained symptoms and wondering about Candida, this conversation offers science, strategy, and real-world experience from two leaders in functional medicine.
