How Can Candida Glabrata Be Cured? Gentle and Natural Strategies To Restore Balance

Table of Contents

Permanently ending Candida overgrowth may involve a number of different strategies. It will also depend on where Candida is growing on your body. For example, Candida overgrowth on the skin may require topical treatments in addition to other strategies. 



To get rid of Candida permanently, it’s vital that you find the cause of the Candida growth. Consider these questions to help determine the possible cause of the Candida overgrowth:

• Is it diet-related? 
• Are your hormones balanced?
• Are you suffering from an autoimmune disorder that could be causing Candida? 
• Have you been using antibiotics frequently? 

If Candida is something you’ve been struggling with again and again, it may be time to take a holistic approach designed around your body’s unique needs. At HealthierU, we look for the root causes behind Candida overgrowth and create a personalized nutrition plan to help restore balance, strengthen your defenses, and support lasting relief.

Instead of providing you with a temporary fix for symptoms, we find permanent solutions. 

If you’ve been dealing with persistent symptoms, Candida overgrowth could be the underlying cause. Common signs include:



• Chronic exhaustion
• Brain fog
• Cravings for sweets
• Bad breath
• White coating on the tongue
• Hormone imbalance
• Loss of sex drive
• Chronic sinus and allergy issues
• Digestive problems (gas and bloating)
• Weak immune system
• Frequent UTIs
• Vaginal itching and discolored discharge

When left unaddressed, Candida often disrupts your body’s natural pH balance and can impact overall wellness.

Let’s look at some of the most common natural ways to cure Candida glabrata.

Following a Candida diet is one of the best ways to cure Candida naturally and permanently. A Candida diet is a holistic, anti-inflammatory, low-sugar diet that aids good gut health while eliminating the sugars that feed Candida. 



By adding specific types of food to your diet and eliminating others, you can: 

1. Starve the yeast your body is producing.
2. Prevent the yeast from returning. 
   

One of the most common causes of Candida overgrowth is a diet full of sugary, processed foods. 

In order to cure Candida, you’ll need to start by eliminating parts of your diet that feed the yeast, including: 

• Refined carbohydrates
• Foods high in sugar
• Starchy foods 
• Excessive alcohol intake 
• High caffeine intake 

Cutting out things like beer, wine, vinegar, mushrooms, sugar, some dairy products, certain refined carbs, and processed foods can also help starve yeast.   



The key to starving yeast is to eliminate foods that have yeast in them, as well as foods that yeast feeds on. 

Once you’ve eliminated those foods, you’ll follow the Candida Diet.

After you’ve limited and eliminated foods that promote yeast growth from your diet, you’ll want to promote gut health and boost your immunity. To do this, eat a healthy, nutritious, and balanced diet. 

The Candida Diet involves eating foods such as:

• Non-starchy vegetables
• Low-sugar fruits
• Healthy proteins 
• Nuts and seeds
• Foods high in probiotics, like fermented foods and cultured dairy products
• Lots of herbs
• Healthy fats and oils

This type of diet will help starve the small amount of yeast in your body while it helps cure Candida. Some of the methods it uses include:

• Balancing the levels of bacteria and fungus throughout your body
• Promoting gut health
• Increasing immunity; and 
• Potentially aiding digestion 
  

Another great way to cut Candida naturally and permanently is to start adding supplements to your diet. 

Supplements can be extremely beneficial in fighting off Candida and other fungi or bacteria that negatively affect the body, including: 

• Berberine
• Caprylic Acid
• Activated Charcoal
• Milk thistle 
• Grapefruit seed extract
• Olive leaf oil
  

Essential oils that are commonly used to cure Candida include:



• Peppermint
• Clove
• Oregano
• Tea tree 
• Thyme; and
• Eucalyptus

When using essential oils to cure Candida, it is especially important that you do your research and ensure that you understand how to use the oils. Some oils should not be ingested, and many require being mixed with a carrier oil to be applied safely. 

Essential oils have the potential to cure Candida by inhibiting excess growth throughout the body.

Studies show that these oils’ antifungal and antibacterial properties can help control (and even alleviate) Candida overgrowth without getting rid of beneficial microbiomes in the gut.

Due to its antimicrobial properties, coconut oil is said to fight off and cure Candida effectively. 



This is because the combination of lauric acid and caprylic acid found in coconut oil can kill off harmful bacteria (like Candida) through topical application and ingestion. 

Probiotics, such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus acidophilus, are capable of fighting off Candida. 



These probiotics are typically found in foods, such as:

• Yogurts
• Fermented foods, like sauerkraut, miso, and tempeh
• Kefir
  

Probiotics help cure Candida by repopulating the good bacteria in your body. In addition, they help your GI tract, as well as your vagina, maintain a healthy pH. 

Studies have shown that probiotics cure Candida overgrowth and prevent it from occurring in the future. 



If you are using probiotics to cure Candida naturally and permanently, you should consider taking probiotics that contain 1 billion colony-forming units (CFUs) at a minimum. 

Your liver is the organ that is responsible for detoxifying your body. If it isn’t functioning properly, it cannot get rid of toxins, like an overabundance of Candida. 

Simple ways to support your liver function include: 

• Maintaining a healthy weight
• Eating a balanced diet
• Exercising regularly
• Limiting alcohol consumption
• Monitoring medication usage (Specific types of medication can put extra strain and stress on your liver.)



By supporting your liver function, you, in turn, can help your body rid itself of excess Candida naturally. 

One major contributing factor to curing Candida may involve ensuring that your hormone levels are balanced. 

Studies show that increased estrogen levels, specifically, also increase the growth and survival of Candida in the body. This is typically the cause of increased thrush and vaginal yeast infections in women:

• During pregnancy
• Before getting their periods; or
• When approaching menopause

If you are struggling with estrogen dominance, some ways to help balance your hormones and potentially cure Candida naturally include: 



• Eating a fiber-rich diet – Increasing fiber intake helps the body naturally eliminate excess estrogen from the body, in turn reducing the risk of Candida overgrowth.
• Reduce stress levels – Unmanaged stress levels can lead to a deficiency in the hormone pregnenolone, which is needed to produce progesterone. This, in turn, leads to an overabundance of estrogen being produced.
• Improving your gut health – Probiotics are always a good idea to help with this.
• Avoid hormonal birth controls – These replace your body’s natural hormones with synthetic ones, which can throw hormone levels out of whack. 
• Work with a holistic nutrition professional — A personalized approach can make all the difference. At HealthierU, Dr. Sergi helps women identify and address hormone imbalances through nutrition and lifestyle strategies designed to support long-term balance.
  

You’ve learned how to cure Candida naturally and permanently, but you may be experiencing some unpleasant side effects, such as: 

• Fatigue
• Intestinal issues
• Skin breakouts
• Flu-like symptoms
• Headaches
• Rashes
• Fever



Don’t stress. These are common side effects of a Candida detox, and it typically means that what you’re doing is working — and don’t worry, the symptoms typically only last about a week as your body adjusts to the changes. 

If you’ve been struggling with recurring Candida symptoms, it’s often a sign that your body is out of balance and in need of support. At HealthierU, Dr. Donna Sergi takes a holistic nutrition approach, looking at the whole person rather than just masking symptoms.



Through a personalized nutrition consultation, she’ll help you uncover the dietary and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to Candida overgrowth. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, Dr. Sergi designs every plan to match your unique needs and health goals. Her focus is on helping you find lasting relief, regain energy, and feel balanced again — naturally.
