Podcast
Defiant Health Radio with Dr. William Davis
Hosted by William Davis, MD · EN
William Davis, MD, cardiologist and author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Wheat Belly books, as well as Undoctored and, most recently, Super Gut, brings the unvarnished truth about many health conditions. So much information in health is crafted by industry, bent to the benefit of healthcare systems, delivered by willfully ignorant physicians. Yet a critical mass of truly useful, safe, effective health information has been reached--but someone has to deliver it to you. That is Dr. Davis' intention. Among the topics the Defiant Health Podcast covers are:--Microbiome health--The key to so many health conditions, as well as preservation of youth and vigor, can be found in the microbiome.--Heart health--You will find no mention of cholesterol or statin drugs here, only hard-hitting, science-based insights.--Thyroid health--Why do endocrinologists and other doctors get thyroid health so wrong? Let's get it right.--Weight loss--We don't count calories, don't push the plate away, or echo other ineffective knuckle headed solutions that have created the most overweight population of humans in history.--How to get rid of type 2 diabetes--it's painfully easy. --Get on the road to reversing autoimmune diseases--Take steps today to prevent neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's dementia, Parkinsonism, and multiple sclerosis--And many others.For more information on Dr. Davis' insights and programs, seeWheat Belly books--esp. the Wheat Belly Revised & Expanded Edition, 2019Wheat Belly 30-Minute CookbookWheat Belly 10-Day Grain DetoxUndoctored: Why Health Care Has Failed You and How You Can Become Smarter Than Your DoctorWheat Belly Blog: www.wheatbellyblog.comTalk to me through my membership website, the Undoctored Inner Circle:InnerCircle.Undoctored.com

"I have a 'cheat' day once per week--Is that okay"
3w ago00:12:09Tap to summarizeIf you are trying to eradicate one of the REAL causes of risk for heart disease, small dense LDL particles, is a once-per-week "cheat" day allowable? Can you get away with it by exercising more the following day, or being extra strict? No. Unfortunately, small dense LDL particles are unforgiving and persist for an unusually long period in the bloodstream, thereby adding to risk for cardiovascular disease.

Transcribe →Understand the "Universe" of Small Dense LDL Particles
4w ago00:12:54Tap to summarizeWhy does much of the world cling to the outdated notion that cholesterol is the cause of heart disease and that reducing cholesterol is the solution, even after decades of evidence have more than amply demonstrated that this approach is woefully inadequate? Sadly, it's about money. But you do not have to be hogtied by financial concerns. You can take a path that actually works. You can start by measuring small dense LDL particles that gives you a mountain, an entire "universe," of insight into risk for coronary disease and what to do about it.

May 400:15:18Tap to summarizeThe evolving science has become overwhelming: Lipopolysaccharide endotoxemia, i.e., the entry of bacterial breakdown products into the bloodstream, is a major driver of multiple problems in female reproductive health. Unfortunately, this crucial factor is almost never addressed in conventional healthcare settings. Thankfully, there are steps YOU can take personally to address this important health issue.

Transcribe →"Why do I have food intolerances?
Apr 2400:20:53Tap to summarizeFood intolerances are growing and more and more people are unable to eat FODMAPs-containing foods, histamine-containing foods, nightshades, legumes, fructose-containing foods and numerous others, sometimes reduced to consuming only a handful of "safe" foods. Why is this happening, something that was virtually unknown only a generation or two ago? Much of it is due to the excessive proliferation of Proteobacteria species in your gut. But it's not just about food intolerances, as these intolerances are just the tip of the iceberg.

Transcribe →Why Life is Better Without Wheat
Apr 1500:14:58Tap to summarizeIf you are given the kindergarten version of a healthy diet, well, you can expect mediocre results at best, disastrous results at worst. Why not graduate to a higher level of dietary understanding? But don't count on obtaining such insights from conventional sources. Here are some cold, hard facts about the consumption of wheat and grains that everyone should be aware of.

Transcribe →Understanding the Microbiome: Endotoxemia and Translocation
Apr 700:17:45Tap to summarizeThey are somewhat more advanced concepts, but the microbial phenomena of endotoxemia and translocation are proving to be critical processes in initiating or worsening a long list of human health conditions. Because most mainstream doctors have abdicated their responsibility in providing advice to maintaining or regaining health, it is up to YOU to understand these important concepts. Here is a basic discussion to help you understand the importance of these fundamental microbiome concepts.

Transcribe →What is gluten and why you should avoid it
Mar 2900:19:11Tap to summarizeDespite my Wheat Belly series of books having been read by millions of people in nearly 40 countries, many people still think that a grain-based diet is healthy. Many also confuse this message with being "gluten-free."Let's think about this issue more clearly so that you understand the power you have in your hands to assume control over health and weight by being smarter and better informed than the misguided masses following dietary guidelines or are victims of an exploitative food industry.

Transcribe →Why is grain elimination good for oral health?
Mar 1600:18:26Tap to summarizeScientific insights into the oral microbiome are yielding many new lessons for dental health: mouthwashes are actually dangerous, fluoridated drinking water does not prevent cavities, some toothpastes contain harmful additives. But the most important factor for dental health is often neglected: the role of eliminating grains. The amylopectin A of grains is a major factor in degrading dental health and the oral microbiome.
