Much of what’s shared about Candida is incomplete or misunderstood.
From “you can’t have carbs” to “probiotics make it worse”, common misconceptions often keep people stuck in cycles of restriction instead of restoration.
On today’s episode of Ruscio Radio, we’re uncovering the eight most persistent Candida myths, so you can focus your energy where it actually matters.
If you’ve tried to “kill candida” through rigid diets or aggressive treatments, this episode will help you reset your approach. Because your gut doesn’t need to be punished—it needs to be restored.
Together, we’ll explore:
Why Candida isn’t always harmful, and what true balance looks like
How to interpret your symptoms and testing results with context
When to simplify, not intensify, your gut-healing plan
Healing your gut isn’t about control—it’s about connection. This episode will help you rebuild trust with your body, your food, and the healing process itself.
