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

An end to heart disease click bait: How heart disease is REALLY caused and managed Aug 06, 2026

Show notes

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 Aug 05, 2026

Show notes

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 Jul 21, 2026

Show notes

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? Jul 12, 2026

Show notes

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.

Why is cholesterol testing not dead yet? Jul 02, 2026

Show notes

Why are we still using 1950s technology to predict and manage risk for heart disease in the form of cholesterol testing? Superior methods have been available for >30 years.
Sadly, the key is money. If superior methods to identify and manage risk for heart disease are essentially without cost, how would the healthcare industry make its money?

Why does curing type 2 diabetes remain a secret? Jun 24, 2026

Show notes

I find it shocking that, as easy as type 2 diabetes is to reverse, backed up by even human clinical trials validating this concept, few doctors inform their diabetic patients of this.
Oddly, now that GLP-1 agonist (disastrous) drugs are available, the reduction in blood sugar coupled with weight loss has brought the idea of type 2 diabetes remission to the forefront, since it now is profitable to reverse it.
But you do NOT need any pharmaceutical to reverse type 2 diabetes in the majority.

"I have a 'cheat' day once per week--Is that okay" May 20, 2026

Show notes

If 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.
