Candida overgrowth is one of the most underdiagnosed yet disruptive conditions today. From bloating and brain fog to rashes, fatigue, and recurring infections—Candida can mimic many other health issues.
At Patients Medical in New York City, we take a comprehensive, integrative approach to candida. We identify the underlying imbalances in your gut, immune system, and metabolism—and create a customized plan to restore your internal ecosystem.
We don’t just suppress the symptoms of candida. We help your body rebalance from the inside out.
Candida is a type of yeast that naturally lives in the mouth, gut, and vaginal tract. But when this fungus grows out of control, it leads to Candida overgrowth or Candidiasis—a condition that disrupts your microbiome, weakens your immune system, and triggers chronic inflammation.
There are different types of candida infections:
Most people with candida have more than one body system affected—and symptoms are often vague or misdiagnosed.
Candida can present differently in every person, but some of the most common signs include:
Candida doesn’t overgrow without cause. We use a functional medicine lens to ask: what’s allowing this yeast to thrive?
Some common triggers include:
Identifying the “why” behind your candida is the first step to lasting healing.
Candida is often missed by standard lab tests. At Patients Medical, we use specialized functional medicine testing, including:
Rachel, 39, came to us with fatigue, sugar cravings, and chronic yeast infections. Standard bloodwork was “normal,” but she didn’t feel well. We ordered an Organic Acids Test and microbiome panel—which revealed elevated candida markers, leaky gut, and low beneficial bacteria.
We created a 12-week protocol including:
By Week 8, her symptoms were 80% improved. By Week 12, her yeast infections were gone, sugar cravings disappeared, and her energy and mood returned.
We use stool, urine, and blood testing along with symptom evaluation and advanced gut microbiome panels to confirm yeast overgrowth.
Most patients see significant results in 6 to 12 weeks, but chronic cases may take longer depending on immune health and toxin load.
Rarely. We use effective herbal antifungal protocols that avoid the side effects of drugs like fluconazole.
Yes. Yeast releases toxins that can affect your nervous system and mood. Many patients report clearer thinking and calmer moods after treatment.
Absolutely. Candida can damage the gut lining and trigger systemic inflammation, food sensitivities, and autoimmune responses.
We offer pregnancy-safe modifications for our protocols and support postpartum candida recovery.
Yes, especially after antibiotics or with a poor diet. Men often experience fatigue, jock itch, or digestive issues.
Yes, we work with patients nationwide via telemedicine and provide home test kits.
Yes, if underlying triggers like poor diet, stress, or antibiotic use return, candida can overgrow again. That’s why we focus on long-term prevention and gut health maintenance as part of our care plan.
At Patients Medical, we don’t just treat symptoms—we uncover the root causes using functional lab testing, tailor natural antifungal protocols, and support gut repair, detox, immunity, and hormone balance for full-body healing.
Patients Medical specializes in gently helping the patient identify the root cause of their medical issues and then assist them to recover from their problems to help them move forward to good health.
