Send us a textSometimes we have chronic inflammatory conditions and we’re not sure WHY we have them… For over 30 years Dr. Michael Biamonte, a clinical nutritionist and author of The Candida Chronicles, has dedicated his life to helping people solve these often-undiagnosed issues.

This intestinal yeast infection is often missed by other medical professionals due to the vast variety of unrelated symptoms. Today’s conversation on Strong By Design sheds some light on this fungus affecting millions of people in the US alone causing a laundry list of symptoms and how his clinic, the Biamonte Center for Clinical Nutrition, can help remove it from your body.   "The organism actually grows roots looking for sugar.
