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

    Infertility, Miscarriage, Premature delivery: The Crucial Role of Endotoxemia

    The 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.

    "Why do I have food intolerances?

    Food 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.

    Why Life is Better Without Wheat

    If 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.

    Understanding the Microbiome: Endotoxemia and Translocation

    They 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.

    What is gluten and why you should avoid it

    Despite 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.

    Why is grain elimination good for oral health?

    Scientific 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.

    Does dementia start in the mouth?

    A number of studies in which the brain tissue of people who have died of dementia have revealed the presence of microbial species such as Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Tannerella forsythia--all oral microbes. This is an example of translocation, i.e., the migration of microbes from one body site to another. But does this cause or accelerate dementia? This remains an unsettled issue. 

    However, if you have had an oral microbiome test and you have one or more of these species in your mouth, should you eradicate it? Dental hygiene is likely not enough. For this reason, I created a homemade oral rinse using a combination of the fatty acid derivative, monolaurin, with the essential oil from peppermint that is intended for short-term use:

    Monolaurin Oral Rinse
    This recipe yields a 2% monolaurin solution. The inclusion of peppermint essential oil adds additional antimicrobial effects. 

    Makes 100 ml (3.5 ounces)

    2000 mg monolaurin (powder or liquid)
    70 ml filtered water
    30 ml glycerol liquid
    4 drops peppermint essential oil

    In clean glass container, combine monolaurin, water, glycerol, and peppermint. Cap and shake. Be sure to shake prior to use. 

    Rinse, then spit (do not swallow), for 10 minutes once per day for no more than 14 days.

    It's Not Yogurt

    We've been fermenting HUMAN-SOURCED microbes to generate very high microbial counts and obtain specific health benefits. The end-result looks and smells sort of like conventional yogurt, but it is NOT yogurt. (I called it "yogurt" for lack of a better term.) It's my way of generating high counts of important microbes that most people have lost due to antibiotics and other factors. You can enjoy this unique "yogurt" with some blueberries, nuts, or your choice of natural sweetener.

    Why You Should NOT Measure Apoprotein B

    Apoprotein B provides a virtual count of the lipoprotein particles in the bloodstream that cause coronary heart disease. It is often held up as superior to the widely used LDL cholesterol value. Is this true?

    It is true, but it does not mean that measuring apoprotein B tells you much about health. Compare this to the enormous amount of insight provided by measuring the REAL cause of heart disease: small LDL particles that gives you an entire universe of insight into your overall health, as well as risk for heart disease. And it is wonderfully and completely manageable with some simple strategies.
