ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
In this episode of Meat Matters, I sit down with Dr. Michael Biamonte, founder of the Biamonte Center for Clinical Nutrition, for a fascinating conversation about Candida overgrowth, gut health, leaky gut, Hashimoto’s, and thyroid dysfunction.
Dr. Biamonte has spent decades studying Candida, and he explains why he believes Candida overgrowth can contribute to a wide range of seemingly unrelated symptoms—including fatigue, brain fog, digestive problems, skin issues, food sensitivities, and autoimmune conditions. We dig specifically into the potential relationship between Candida, intestinal permeability, and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
This conversation became especially interesting for me because while I’ve made tremendous progress with my own Hashimoto’s, persistent fatigue has been one of the symptoms I haven’t been able to completely resolve. So naturally, I wanted to know: could there be another piece of the puzzle I haven't looked at yet?
We also get into thyroid testing beyond TSH, including Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, mineral status, fasting insulin, cortisol, estrogen, and why Dr. Biamonte believes standard bloodwork may not always explain why someone continues to experience hypothyroid symptoms.
And then we go deep on Candida testing and treatment: organic acids testing, stool testing, leaky gut testing, probiotics, the gut microbiome, antifungals, Candida die-off, and why Dr. Biamonte says addressing a significant Candida problem can be a much longer process than simply taking an antifungal for a few weeks.If you have Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, unexplained fatigue, brain fog, digestive problems, or you’ve been told your thyroid labs are “normal” even though you still don’t feel like yourself, this conversation will give you plenty to think about.
