Defiant Health Radio with Dr. William Davis

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

Interview With Microbiome Guru Brenda Watson Sep 04, 2021

Show notes

Brenda Watson's name may already be familiar to you, having been featured on Dr. Oz, Good Morning America, and six PBS specials. She is also a prolific author of books such as The Road to Perfect Health and Fiber 35 Diet. But you may not know that she, along with her husband Stan, were the founders of Renew Life, for many years the largest probiotic company in the U.S. that they have since sold, then started a new probiotic company, Vital Planet.
With 25 years of experience in the world of the microbiome, my conversation with Brenda yielded many valuable insights into the power of managing the human microbiome. She is a vocal advocate for the restoration of microbial diversity, one of the most important and insightful aspects of bowel flora management.

Iodine Deficiency: The Forgotten Public Health Crisis Aug 18, 2021

Show notes

All throughout human history and up until approximately 100 years ago, iodine deficiency, goiters (enlarged thyroid glands), hypothyroidism, and death from thyroid failure was a common public health problem. Ask your great grandmother (if you could) about goiters and she would likely have been able to share many horror stories about people who were disfigured by goiters and who died of thyroid failure. This public health problem essentially disappeared when, in the U.S., the FDA asked salt manufacturers to add iodine to table salt.
But then, years later, various government agencies advised Americans to cut back on salt--and guess what is now making a comeback? Yes: iodine deficiency, hypothyroidism from iodine deficiency, and even goiters. Don't let this happen to you.
In this episode of Defiant Health Radio, I show you how to make certain that sufficient iodine is part of your life.

The Loss of Empathy (and how you can bring it back) Aug 01, 2021

Show notes

People of the 21st century have lost empathy, as well as experiencing more social isolation, divorce, and suicide than prior decades--but why?
Psychologists talk about lack of community, the dissolution of traditional families, over-reliance on technology, all of which are undoubtedly important contributors. But could there be a physical factor that could contribute to these social phenomena? And, if so, can it be remedied?
I talk about how modern humans have lost a crucial microbial species from our intestinal microbiomes that, when replaced, restores the hormone oxytocin, the hormone of love, empathy, social connection, and youthfulness.

All You Need to Know About CT Heart Scans and Coronary Calcium Scores Jul 19, 2021

Show notes

CT heart scans to generate a coronary calcium score is, by a long stretch, the best and most precise way to gauge risk for heart disease, certainly far better than virtually useless cholesterol values. Even though this technology dates back over 25 years, it is still plagued by misinformation, often used to twist people's arms into taking drugs like statins, and even used to exploit people by putting them unnecessary procedures.
The reality is that a coronary calcium score can be the starting point for an enormous effective heart disease prevention program that does not involve conventional wastes-of-time such as reducing fat, tracking cholesterol, or taking statin drugs. Instead, let's focus on the natural methods that actually address the real causes of coronary disease, coronary calcium, and cardiovascular risk. By doing so, you can be far more knowledgeable than your doctor.

You don't have to be a (T2) diabetic Jul 12, 2021

Show notes

For the majority of people with type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes, the condition is completely reversible within weeks to a few months--but you cannot achieve this with prescription drugs, the conventional "cut your fat and cholesterol and eat more whole grains" diet.
Instead, we 1) follow a diet that no longer raises blood sugar or insulin, then 2) address common nutrient deficiencies that allow insulin resistance (the process that drives type 2 diabetes), then 3) address the common situation of a disrupted intestinal microbiome. The end-result? Normal blood sugars, weight loss, normalization of blood pressure, reversal of fatty liver and other health benefits for the majority.
Not only have I done this with thousands of people, I was a type 2 diabetic myself 25+ years ago. I now have perfect fasting blood sugars in the 80s (mg/dl) and a HbA1c of around 4.8% with NO drugs.

The Mysterious Case of the Missing Microbes Jul 07, 2021

Show notes

It is estimated that we, as modern people, have lost about half of the microbial species occupying our gastrointestinal (GI) tracts compared to indigenous populations who hunt and gather. Exposure to antibiotics, glyphosate residues in food, other herbicides/pesticides, synthetic sweeteners like aspartame, emulsifying agents in ice cream or salad dressings--we swim in a sea of microbiome disrupting factors.
Among the consequences? Loss of a number of species crucial to health. We are just beginning to identify these lost microbes, then take steps to replenish them, a strategy that is far more powerful than just taking some commercial probiotic.

How Big Pharma Bought Big Media Jul 03, 2021

Show notes

Watch TV morning news in years past and you would see authors on health and nutrition topics interviewed regularly. TV news exposés would likewise air reports on problems in healthcare such as excessive charges, aggressive hospital marketing tactics, fraudulent practices by doctors and the like. But in the last decade, there are virtually no such interviews or reports on any of the major TV networks or major print media--none.
This all coincides with the proliferation of direct-to-consumer ads yielding billions of dollars of advertising revenue for media outlets. Could the two phenomena be related? And has Big Pharma, in effect, shut down all reporting on problems in healthcare?
I believe that media has abdicated their responsibility and has not been reporting on this disaster called modern American healthcare--all because of the heavy-handed financial interests of the pharmaceutical industry.

Why I Dumped Conventional Healthcare Jun 30, 2021

Show notes

Here is the very first episode of Defiant Health Radio with host Dr. William Davis, cardiologist and author of the New York Times bestselling Wheat Belly series.
You may already know that modern healthcare does not yield health. Sure, plenty of prescription drugs and procedures are dispensed. But real health? Not even close.
In this episode of Defiant Health, I recount how and why I left my cardiology practice to educate people on how to gain actual health, health that is SUPERIOR to the kind of "health" achieved through the doctor's office or hospital. Most doctors actually know very little about real health and how to achieve it. It therefore falls on YOU to learn about and understand how to achieve real health. In short, we are defiant against conventional healthcare. Sure, healthcare is there if you break a leg or develop an infection, but for the many common chronic diseases in our world such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, many forms of heart disease, autoimmune diseases, fatty liver and many other conditions, you can be in charge and manage or prevent these conditions more effectively than the doctor--safely, inexpensively, with results that will leave your doctor speechless.
