Hey everyone, welcome back to the Heal Nourish Grow podcast. Today I have Dr. Michael Biamonte with me, and we are going to chat about a variety of topics. One that is kind of interesting and unusual that he said they just started learning about recently. Anyway, before we get to that, I would love it if you could just tell everyone in your own words a little bit about yourself and how did you get into this whole topic of nutrition.
drbiamonte (00:28.554)
Well, let’s see, I’m a clinical nutritionist. I’m a naturopath. I’m certified in New York State, which is where that’s where my license is. And I got into nutrition because I was very curious as to why medical doctors poo-pooed it.
I had a relative who had cancer, who was ill, and I kept asking the doctors, well, what about vitamins and what about, this is back in the 70s, I said, what about Leutriol that I’ve heard about from Mexico? And they said, no, well, that’s all baloney. None of that works. None of that’s good. But I said, but couldn’t, wouldn’t giving him vitamins help his body even if it doesn’t cure the cancer? Wouldn’t it still help him be healthier to try to?
fight the cancer a little longer and maybe live longer and they just poo-hooed it. And around that time I started running marathons. So there was a great interest around, and this is again in the 70s. So this is all these things were in their infancy back then. Billy Rogers was first winning the New York Marathon. Carlton Frederick’s was on the radio talking about vitamins and talking about the dangers of too much sugar. Adele Davis had her book out. So.
this was all kind of new. And I wanted to know why these doctors were so adamant that all this stuff was a waste of time. So the more I started studying it, the more I started to tweak on the fact that, gee, you know, if all this nutrition stuff actually works the way they say it does, I could see this being a problem for doctors and drug companies. I could see where they wouldn’t want this to be around. And…
Cheryl McColgan (02:11.584)
Yeah, that’s some conspiracy thing you’re throwing out there a little bit, right?
drbiamonte (02:15.79)
Yeah, well, it’s common sense though, in a way. I mean, it looked like with Candida, people are constantly asking me, why is it that medical doctors don’t recognize Candida? Why don’t they know even a quarter about it, a quarter of what you know about it? I said, well, can you imagine if a medical doctor came out and said, gee, people, you know those antibiotics I’ve been giving you? Well,
Cheryl McColgan (02:18.576)
It’s all of the money, right?
drbiamonte (02:41.634)
That’s really what caused this candida that you’ve been fighting with for 20 years that’s caused you not to be able to continue in school, lose your job, go on disability. I said, can you imagine the lawsuits that we’d have going back and forth? So yeah, follow the money works. Follow the money works.
Cheryl McColgan (02:55.475)
Yes.
Cheryl McColgan (02:59.572)
Yeah. And so you got so interested. I love that you got into this because, you know, it wasn’t making intuitive sense to you. You saw somebody in your life that was struggling with their health and you’re thinking, okay, well vitamins, minerals, something’s got to help this. What you put in your body has got to be of some use. Plus you’re into the sports and marathoning. And when you do that, you learn, you know, you need to fuel your body in a certain way. So when you went to school for this, what was it that you decided to focus on? Like what was your primary area of focus at that time?
drbiamonte (03:28.662)
Well, I was very analytical when I was young, maybe more so than now. Now I tend to be a bit more open-minded, but back then I was very black and white about things. So my major in nutrition school was interpretation of lab tests, because I felt that lab tests was something definitive. And it showed you black or white, what was going on. And it gave you a marker that you could come back to.
Because later on, after I graduated school, my first gig, so to speak, was working with engineers at Grumman Aerospace, who were all systems analysis engineers. They were all people very well trained in aerospace physiology, but they were engineers. So they truly taught me the true scientific method, which an engineer works,...
