Our guest expert - Mike Glick, CEO of Goode Health - sheds light on how these powerful antioxidants contribute to longevity and overall health. We uncover the alarming reality that most individuals fall short in their polyphenol intake and explore the vital roles that plant foods play in optimizing our well-being. Tune in to discover how embracing polyphenol-rich foods can pave the way for a longer, healthier life.

In this episode, we delve into the world of antinutrients, those compounds found in certain foods that have garnered a reputation for being harmful to our health. While antinutrients can interfere with the absorption of nutrients in our bodies, the truth is they're not as harmful as many health influencers make them out to be. We explore the science behind antinutrients, debunking common myths and misconceptions. Instead of demonizing these compounds, we shed light on their potential benefits and how our bodies can adapt to them.

We also discuss traditional food preparation methods which have been practiced for centuries to minimize the presence of antinutrients in foods. These techniques not only reduce antinutrient levels but also enhance the overall nutritional value of the foods we consume. By understanding how to prepare our meals properly, we can enjoy a balanced diet without worrying excessively about antinutrient content. Join us as we uncover the truth about antinutrients and learn practical tips for optimizing our food preparation methods.

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.

Hormone optimization is essential for maintaining a healthy weight, and one of the most important hormones for fat loss is leptin. Leptin helps our bodies maintain a healthy weight by communicating with the brain when fat mass is accumulating, so that the brain can respond by reducing hunger and increasing energy expenditure. Unfortunately, leptin-resistance can develop, causing our brain to stop responding to leptin appropriately, causing the body to gain more and more fat.

In this episode, we will discuss the role of leptin and other hormones in the accumulation and loss of fat, and how to optimize these hormones naturally, without the use of harmful weight loss drugs.
