Yeast Infections – What’s Really Going On (And What You Can Do About It)


By Choice Health Formulas

Cut through the confusion and take control of your health

Welcome!

Let’s talk about something very common, often frustrating, and rarely talked about openly: yeast infections.

We often hear about them. Women walk into the clinic and say, “I’ve got a yeast infection. What do I do?” Or, “My daughter’s dealing with one again.” The reality is that yeast infections aren’t random, they’re usually a sign of imbalance in the body.

This newsletter gives you a practical protocol to handle a yeast infection in the moment and helps you understand how to prevent them from coming back.

Myth vs Fact

The Myth:

Yeast infections are caused by poor hygiene.

The Facts:

Most yeast infections are caused by internal imbalances—a shift in your body’s pH, lack of probiotics, sugar overload, stress, or hormone changes. It’s not about “clean”—it’s about balance.

Quick Win

If you’re in a flare-up, cut all sugar immediately. That includes soda, fruit juice, and even large amounts of fruit. Sugar feeds yeast, so removing it slows the fire while your supplements do the healing.

Real Client Experience

A mom came to us after battling stubborn yeast infections since her teenage years. She considered her diet clean and was avoiding processed sugar but was still eating loads of fruit, often snacking on entire bags of mini oranges. Her 7-year-old son was also showing strange symptoms: itchy skin, patches, and even some hair loss.

After some digging, we connected the dots - their high-fruit diet was feeding yeast overgrowth in both of them. Once they cut out the sugar and fruit and started on a targeted supplement protocol, including boric acid and probiotics, the results were dramatic. Within weeks, both mom and son were symptom-free. No more itching. No more mystery rashes. No more yeast.


"I was at my wit's end—every few months, I was dealing with yeast. I tried the over-the-counter stuff, but it just kept coming back. After using oregano oil and boric acid as a reset, and adding probiotics long-term, I finally feel balanced. No more constant flare-ups."
– M.K., Mama of 3, Idaho

Crisis Support:

Boric Acid

These little capsules are powerhouses when it comes to calming yeast flare-ups fast. Insert 1 capsule vaginally at bedtime for 3 nights (up to 5 if needed). Just remember: they’re for vaginal use only. Toxic if swallowed. Keep out of reach of children.

Oregano Oil Capsules

Take 1 capsule twice daily before meals for 5–7 days.

A strong antifungal to fight yeast internally. Avoid on an empty stomach.

Preventative Support:

Bum Biotics Suppositories

Insert vaginally for 15 days after crisis treatment, then continue rectally for 30–90 days.

This bypasses stomach acid and delivers probiotics right where they’re needed—gut and vaginal flora.

These do have to be shipped with an ice pack, so just be aware it is best to order direct from the manufacturer or pick up in office.

Foundational Habits

Yeast thrives in an unbalanced body—especially when:

• Gut flora is low (after antibiotics, stress, sugar)

• Vaginal pH becomes too alkaline (often during your period)

Here’s the breakdown:

Your vaginal pH should be about 4.5 - acidic enough to keep yeast in check. Blood has a pH around 6.0, so when your period starts, the vaginal pH rises and yeast can flare.

A great strategy?

  1. Insert boric acid on the first day of your period to help keep the pH in check.
  2. Once your cycle ends, start your vaginal probiotics (like Bum Biotics) to rebuild the flora before your next period.
  3. If you’re dealing with chronic yeast infections, this isn’t just a “vaginal” problem - it’s a whole-body flora issue. That’s why we suggest continuing the probiotics rectally for 30 to 90 days, so you can rebuild your gut and vaginal health from the inside out.

Is it a glamorous delivery method? Not really.

Is it one of the most effective ways to get results? Absolutely.

You’re not broken. You’re not alone. And you don’t have to live in fear of your next yeast flare. With the right understanding, a few powerful supplements, and consistency, you can restore balance—naturally and effectively. Let’s stop putting out the same fire over and over, and instead, rebuild the terrain so the fire doesn’t come back.

You’ve got this—and we’re here to help every step of the way.

Here's to progress, not perfection!
