Defiant Health Radio with Dr. William Davis

Despite the widespread advice to consume more "healthy whole grains," a wide range of health problems, sometimes catastrophic, develop with their consumption. Humans made the mistake of incorporating the seeds of grasses ("grains") into their diet 10-12,000 years ago, not recognizing that they were trading health problems for near-term survival. Then modern agribusiness and genetics manipulations amplified the problems inherent to wheat and grains. The result: deterioration in health, weight gain, type 2 diabetes on a scale never before seen. But recognize this fundamental dietary blunder and you are given the key to regaining magnificent health.Get your Paleovalley discount on fermented grass-fed beef sticks, Bone Broth Collagen, and low-carb snack bars:Use the coupon code "Defiant" for an additional 15% discount.

Food intolerances are proving to be a rapidly growing problem: intolerances to nightshades, so-called FODMAPs, fructose, histamine-containing foods and others. But why? And does just eliminating the food solve the problem?We need to view food intolerances as a warning sign of the process that causes food intolerances in the first place: disruptions of bowel flora and especially small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, SIBO. Unrecognized or ignored and SIBO can lead over time to weight gain, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune conditions, neurodegenerative diseases, even gastrointestinal cancers. Recognize, confirm, then manage SIBO so that you do not experience health problems later. And much or all of this can be managed on your own, although a little guidance can help.BiotiQuest: www.BiotiQuest.comSugar Shift: https://biotiquest.com/pages/all-probioticsUse discount code UNDOC15 for a 15% discount on BiotiQuest probiotics.

It has only recently become clear that the hormone oxytocin profoundly influences many features of aging: skin, muscle, bone, etc. Most modern people, however, have lost the intestinal microbe, Lactobacillus reuteri or L. reuteri,  responsible for provoking release of oxytocin from the brain (hypothalamus). You can therefore restore this lost microbe that, in turn, causes oxytocin to be released and enjoy thicker smoother skin with fewer wrinkles, restoration of youthful muscle and strength, deeper sleep with vivid dreams, reduction in appetite, and--because oxytocin also influences human social behavior--empathy, a desire for social connection, and reduction in social anxiety. We accomplish this by using a unique fermentation method I devised that increases the number of bacteria to hundreds of billions that therefore provides even greater benefits.How to make L. reuteri yogurt from my Wheat Belly Blog:https://www.wheatbellyblog.com/2019/07/how-to-make-l-reuteri-yogurt-step-by-step/Get your Paleovalley discount on fermented grass-fed beef sticks, Bone Broth Collagen, and low-carb snack bars:Use the coupon code "Defiant" for an additional 15% discount.

The modern diet is woefully deficient in the protein collagen and, as a result, we experience increased potential for skin wrinkles, slower healing, arthritis in joints, even diseases of the aorta. You can correct this situation by including foods rich in collagen, knowing how to navigate collagen hydrolysates, and taking advantage of boosting oxytocin by restoring the intestinal microbe, Lactobacillus reuteri.Get your Paleovalley discount on fermented grass-fed beef sticks, Bone Broth Collagen, and low-carb snack bars:Use the coupon code "Defiant" for an additional 15% discount.

The American Heart Association and other agencies, dietitians, and doctors all urge us to cut our intake of fat and eat more "healthy whole grains," ignoring the fact that wheat and other grains provoke a panel of unhealthy metabolic changes that hugely increase risk for heart disease. Understand these phenomena, ban all wheat and grains from your life, and enormous changes develop across multiple metabolic markers that add up to reduced risk for heart disease. Even better, incorporate the short list of nutrients lacking in modern life that further correct insulin resistance and inflammation and take basic efforts to address intestinal microbiome composition and you have the formula for slenderness and freedom from numerous common chronic health conditions.Get your Paleovalley discount on fermented grass-fed beef sticks, Bone Broth Collagen, and low-carb snack bars:Use the coupon code "Defiant" for an additional 15% discount.

Most people already know that the hormone oxytocin is the hormone of love and of uterine contraction during childbirth. But that is only the tip of the iceberg of what this hormone can do. Higher levels of oxytocin have been found to increase dermal collagen and thereby reduce skin wrinkles, restore youthful muscle and strength, preserve bone density, deepen sleep, reduce appetite and have other youth-preserving, anti-aging effects. So how do you recognize a lack of oxytocin and how can you increase your levels to obtain such benefits? Source of Lactobacillus reuteri: BioGaia Gastrus tabletsAvailable through Amazon or through the U.S. Distributor, Everidis: www.everidis.com How to boost counts of L. reuteri by making "yogurt": https://www.wheatbellyblog.com/2019/07/how-to-make-l-reuteri-yogurt-step-by-step/For more information on Dr. Davis’ programs:Books:Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health; revised & expanded editionWheat Belly 10-Day Grain DetoxWheat Belly 30-Minute (Or Less!)

Low-carb diets work. They are more effective at weight loss and reducing health conditions such as high blood sugar, high blood pressure, even fatty liver. Whether you call it ketogenic, carnivorous, Atkins' or other version of a low-carb diet, the majority of people experience substantial near-term health benefits. But there are some issues to be aware of to prevent the long-term health deteriorations that can develop from such lifestyles. This is why diet is powerful but not enough for genuine long-term health. You must therefore address common nutrient deficiencies that result from modern life, exposures to various toxins in your food and environment, and address your intestinal microbiome.  Paleovalley is Defiant Health's newest sponsor because they only use ultra-clean ingredients that are also delicious. And their grass-fed beef sticks are fermented and thereby a source of healthy probiotics!More information here:paleovalley.comShipping is free for orders of $75 or more.

My guest in this episode of Defiant Health is co-founder of Paleovalley, Autumn Smith. Autumn describes the emotional and physical struggles she had earlier in her life, finding the healthcare system useless for effective solutions. She and her husband learned about the power of diet and all her health problems are now just a memory. This inspired the couple to start Paleovalley.I’ve had a chance to try a number of their products and they are absolutely terrific. It’s not easy finding products that don’t contain unhealthy ingredients that are consistent with the lifestyles we follow, that is the Wheat Belly and Undoctored lifestyles. That’s why I was so pleasantly surprised to see that the entire line of Paleovalley products—grass-fed fermented beef sticks, turkey sticks, low-carb Super Food snack bars, a bone broth collagen protein powder, Super Greens powder rich in phytonutrients and others—contain only healthy ingredients with no unhealthy additives. Incredible attention to detail has been devoted by Autumn and her co-founders. In this interview, Autumn tells us how and why she and her team went the extra mile to provide clean and healthy food products. Use the coupon code "Defiant" for an additional 15% discount.
