You don't have to be a (T2) diabetic

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. 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!)

The Mysterious Case of the Missing Microbes

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. 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!)

How Big Pharma Bought Big Media

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.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!)

Why I Dumped Conventional Healthcare

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.  Support the showYouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WilliamDavisMD Blog: WilliamDavisMD.com Membership website for two-way Zoom group meetings: InnerCircle.DrDavisInfiniteHealth.com Books: Super Gut: The 4-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health; revised & expanded ed
