The webinar “Candida Die Off Reactions: Prevention And Mitigation Strategies” is designed to help practitioners and individuals understand how to prevent and mitigate the challenging symptoms associated with Candida die-off, also known as the Herxheimer reaction.

Led by Dr. Blake Myers, a naturopathic physician with over 10 years of experience, this session dives deep into Candida die-off, which occurs when large amounts of Candida yeast are rapidly killed, releasing toxins into the body and triggering symptoms like headaches, fatigue, nausea, brain fog, joint pain, and more.

In this comprehensive presentation, Dr. Myers explains the foundational mechanisms of Candida die-off and offers practical, research-backed methods to prevent these reactions.

You’ll learn how to prepare the body before starting antimicrobial treatments by strengthening detoxification pathways, building antioxidant capacity, and optimizing immune function.

Dr. Myers outlines a holistic approach to managing Candida overgrowth, including dietary changes such as the MEVY diet, the role of probiotics and digestive enzymes, and how to use CanXida products like CanXida Restore, CanXida Rebuild and CanXida Remove to effectively reduce Candida numbers without causing overwhelming die-off symptoms.

Additionally, the webinar covers important methods for managing die-off reactions when they do occur, including how to adjust treatment protocols, enhance detoxification, and utilize natural remedies like binders and liver-supporting herbs.

Dr. Myers emphasizes a slow and steady approach to treatment, ensuring patients can minimize discomfort while still achieving their Candida-cleansing goals. Whether you’re a practitioner or someone dealing with Candida overgrowth, this webinar provides valuable insights into preventing and managing die-off, allowing for a more comfortable and successful healing process.
