Defiant Health Radio with Dr. William Davis

William Davis, MD

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

    Why Are Small Dense LDL Particles Different?

    The world has been brainwashed by this absurd notion that cholesterol causes heart disease, thereby wasting your time with talk of statin drugs and saturated fat. 

    The tragedy is that the REAL causes of heart disease are identifiable and readily correctable. Small dense LDL particles are the "tip of the iceberg" for an entire constellation of metabolic abnormalities that are the causes underlying heart attack, sudden cardiac death, and the need for heart procedures.

    How to reduce triglycerides to 60 mg/dl or less

    Here are the easy-to-adopt non-pharmaceutical strategies that you can put to work to keep triglycerides at 60 mg/dl or less, a level that helps you achieve superior metabolic health. 

    Triglycerides are a biomarker packed with useful information about health and keeping it at this low level stacks the odds in favor of avoiding heart disease, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, cognitive impairment and other conditions.

    The Nasty Little Monster Called Small Dense LDL

    While the world focuses on what I call the "kindergarten version" of heart disease causation, i.e., cholesterol, they ignore the REAL cause: small dense LDL particles and the entire constellation of abnormal metabolic phenomena that accompany it. 

    Once you gain a better understanding of how coronary heart disease (heart attack, sudden cardiac death, need for heart procedures) is caused, you are on your way to taking more effective action in stopping it.

    What happens when you keep triglycerides 60 mg/dl or less?

    Of the four values provided on any standard cholesterol panel, the triglyceride value reveals the most about your health. Ironically, it is often the value most commonly ignored or dismissed, or simply treated using the wrong agents. 

    Here is what you can expect if you keep triglycerides 60 mg/dl or less.

    An end to heart disease click bait: How heart disease is REALLY caused and managed

    You've seen the click-bait headlines: "Take this one supplement and dissolve plaque," or "Eat this one food every day to dissolve plaque." None of this true, any more than reducing cholesterol "dissolves plaque."

    There is a logical and scientifically validated approach to gain control over coronary atherosclerotic plaque and thereby risk for heart attack and related cardiovascular events. It begins with identifying, then eradicating, small dense LDL particles. Think of small dense LDL particles as the first domino in a long line of dominoes that will fall just by knocking down the first domino.

    One of the best kept secrets in healthcare: The diameter of your thoracic aorta

    Many people have had an echocardiogram, CT heart scan, or other imaging test of their heart or chest during which an enlarged ascending thoracic aorta was identified--but you are almost NEVER told. Yet an enlarged aorta is a diseased aorta that puts you at risk over time of aneurysm rupture, dissection, both of which are catastrophic, and "mini-strokes" from fragmentation of atheroclerotic plaque. 

    Here is how to know whether this applies to you and, if it does, what you can do about it.

    Smoke inhalation: Cardiovascular risk factor

    The recent Canadian wildfires that have caused a thick blanket of smoke to cover the upper Midwest and Northeast is, as reported by the media, a threat to people with lung conditions. But it also adds to risk for heart disease, rarely or never mentioned and therefore often dismissed. 

    But smoke inhalation is indeed a cardiovascular risk factor. Here is some of the most compelling evidence for this phenomenon.

    Bacteriocins: Key to surviving the age of antibiotics?

    Normally, you should have numerous species of microbes inhabiting your gastrointestinal tract and other body locations that produce bacteriocins, i.e., natural antibiotics that keep unhealthy microbial species from taking over. Unfortunately, modern antibiotics, while necessary at times, have killed off species that were previously protecting you by producing bacteriocins. This allows the emergence of health problems mostly unique to modern people including weight gain, type 2 diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety and many others. 

    Rebuilding a microbiome that includes species that produce bacteriocins is an important factor in reclaiming control over health disrupted by exposure to modern antibiotics.
