WHY CANDIDA DIETS KILL YOUR THYROID HEALTH The general idea behind most candida diets is that in order to KILL the Candida, you first have to starve it. AND, because Candida feeds on sugars (carbohydrates) the next logical thing would be to cut out all sugar. Here lies the problem.... 👉🏻Candida overgrowth is actually the result of being in an immune compromised hypothyroid state from chronic cortisol production. So by trying to kill the Candida by cutting carbs, what you are actually doing is killing your thyroid. Without adequate or the right types of carbs in your diet, bad things can happen: 👉🏻Your body will over produce cortisol as a compensation for low blood sugar. 👉🏻The excess cortisol will block thyroid hormone conversion in the liver. 👉🏻Your liver will become sluggish and unable to detoxify recirculating estrogen. 👉🏻The recirculating estrogen will block thyroid hormone conversion. Excess cortisol and estrogen are not only key factors in Candida overgrowth, but also thyroid issues. So when carbs are being restricted from the diet, this vicious cycle of excess estrogen, excess cortisol and the perpetual breakdown in the body’s primary immune defense (secretory IgA) will weaken your immunity and make you more susceptible to candida and thyroid issues.
