Several decades ago, Dr. Biamonte started noticing strange symptoms in his patients, such as those with leaky gut syndrome, adrenal fatigue, thyroid imbalances, diabetes, and vaginal yeast infections. The culprit often turned out to be Candidiasis, a disease that often goes untreated, wears a mask to look like other illnesses, and is unnoticed and misdiagnosed by most doctors. Dr. Biamonte's research led to his discovery of a Candida imbalance in his most severe patients. 

Today, Dr. Biamonte speaks with us about all things Candida, helping identify the symptoms, causes, and treatments that can rid you of this sneaky gut monster.

Dr. Biamonte has spent over 5 years at NASA and thirty years in the field itself, to develop a treatment program to change the gut health arena as we know it.   

Dr. Biamonte is the author of The Candida Chronicles, which highlights Candida’s history, causes, symptoms, and most importantly, how this problem can be solved. Be sure to check his book out if this episode resonates with you!
