Yeast overgrowth—especially candidiasis—is common but often misdiagnosed. At Patients Medical in NYC, we go beyond antifungals. Our integrative approach combines conventional, holistic, and functional medicine to uncover why Candida thrives in your body—and rebalance the systems that allow it to overgrow.
We heal the whole person, not just with prescriptions.
Yeast infections (or candidiasis) occur when Candida fungi multiply excessively in the body. Candida is normally present in small amounts in our gut, mouth, and skin. Overgrowth can lead to symptoms ranging from mild to systemic and chronic discomfort.
The most common form, causing itching, burning, discharge, and irritation in the vaginal/urethral area.
White, creamy coatings on the tongue, inner cheeks, or throat—often with soreness or difficulty swallowing.
Appears in warm, moist areas like armpits, groin, under breasts—causing red, itchy rashes.
Occurs when Candida enters the bloodstream, affecting organs. Seen more in hospitalized or immunocompromised individuals—but also in those with leaky gut or chronic immune imbalance.
A broader, often chronic issue, with symptoms including fatigue, brain fog, food cravings, digestive distress, and recurrent infections.
Functional medicine digs into underlying drivers of yeast overgrowth:
Anti-Candida diets that include:
IVs with vitamin C, B-complex, glutathione support detox, immune health, and cellular repair.
Clinically guided recommendations:
Sara, 45, had recurring yeast infections, gut pain, fatigue, and brain fog. Standard treatments provided only temporary relief. Advanced testing revealed gut dysbiosis, elevated anti-Candida antibodies, and adrenal fatigue.
Our 12-week integrative plan included:
Post-treatment, Sara reported no parasitic symptoms, restored energy, and normal gut function.
Thrush affects the mouth/throat; vaginal yeast infection affects the genital area.
Yes—antibiotics disrupt gut flora and allow yeast to overgrow.
Diet is essential but not enough. We use targeted antifungals, gut repair, and immune support.
Prescription antifungals are effective short-term. Long-term, we prefer natural agents guided by testing.
Yes. In people with gut barrier dysfunction and immune imbalance, Candida can enter the bloodstream and cause symptoms.
Absolutely. High cortisol weakens gut lining and immune defenses—creating conditions for yeast overgrowth.
Typical timeline is 8–12 weeks, depending on severity and adherence to the plan.
Yes—probiotics help rebalance gut flora and inhibit Candida overgrowth.
Yes. We use pregnancy-safe botanicals, diet, probiotics, and stress support.
