Beauty and the Yeast
A Doctor's Discovery About Candida, Weight Loss, and Well-Being
Description:... In Beauty and the Yeast, medical and naturopathic doctor Carolyn Dean seeks to help the countless women now suffering from obesity or other stubborn health maladies -- conditions too often misdiagnosed -- find new hope and effective ways of reaching the right diagnosis and treatment. In her work with patients of all ages and backgrounds, Dean has discovered that yeast overgrowth and related fungus-based conditions are often the unrecognized culprits in weight retention and many other ills. Taking a warm, engaging approach, she explains the often-overlooked connection between yeast, mood, digestive health, and weight, and helps the reader understand how to make necessary lifestyle changes. She offers readers an easy system for assessing their own symptoms, losing excess weight permanently, and achieving an optimal level of well being. Her recommendations include a mind-body program, dietary changes, nutritional supplementation, and prescription as well as nonprescription yeast-control agents such as vitamins, herbal products, and probiotics.
