The speaker, Fran Suárez, a specialist in obesity and metabolism, discusses the importance of addressing candida fungus overgrowth in the body to achieve optimal weight loss and health results. Candida fungus feeds on high glucose levels, which is common in individuals with obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders. The fungus can cause pain, inflammation, and itching, leading to increased cortisol production, which in turn, promotes weight gain.
To combat this, Suárez recommends using gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid found in evening primrose oil, blackcurrant oil, or borage oil. GLA has anti-inflammatory and pain-blocking properties, making it effective in reducing inflammation, pain, and neuropathy associated with various conditions, including diabetes, arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.
Suárez notes that GLA has no known contraindications and can be used in high doses (up to 6 pearls of 500mg per day) to accelerate fat loss. He also emphasizes the importance of sourcing high-quality, cold-pressed, and hexane-free GLA oil to ensure its effectiveness and safety.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. Fran Suárez is a specialist in obesity and metabolism.
2. Candida fungus, specifically Candida albicans, is a fungus that can grow in the body when glucose levels are high.
3. High glucose levels are associated with obesity, diabetes, and other conditions.
4. Candida fungus can cause pain, inflammation, and itching in the body.
5. The fungus creates roots that penetrate the body and cause pain.
6. Candidiasis is a severe infection of the Candida fungus that can cause chronic pain and inflammation.
7. Diabetic neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves and can cause pain, especially in the feet.
8. Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) is an oil that can help reduce inflammation and pain caused by Candida fungus.
9. GLA is also known as evening primrose oil, black currant oil, or borage oil.
10. GLA has been shown to block pain and inflammation in various studies.
11. GLA is used to treat conditions such as multiple sclerosis, arthritis, and menstrual pain.
12. Breast milk is high in GLA content, making it a natural substance.
13. GLA can help break down fat, which can aid in weight loss.
14. The recommended dose of GLA is up to 6 pearls per day, with each pearl containing 500-3000 milligrams of GLA.
15. A study by Dr. Robin and his group in 1992 supported the conclusions that GLA is an effective natural substance for blocking pain and inflammation.
16. GLA has no contraindications with other substances.
17. Omega-6 oils, including GLA, are generally anti-inflammatory.
18. Evening primrose oil is a type of GLA that is extracted from the seeds of the evening primrose plant.
19. Some factories use hexane, a petroleum product, to extract oil from seeds, which can leave residues in the oil.
20. Cold-pressed oil that is free of hexane is considered a purer and more effective form of GLA.
