In this episode, Mary is joined by Dr. William Davis, cardiologist and New York Times best selling author of Wheat Belly.
The conversations examines how modern wheat and microbiome disruptions influence women's health, from reproductive issues to menopause symptoms. Dr. Davis founder of Infinite Health, shares insights on how genetic changes in wheat, antibiotic use, and environmental toxins contribute to chronic health problems and discusses simple, cost-effective strategies to restore gut and vaginal microbes for optimal health.
Key Points Covered:
- Modern Wheat: Genetic modifications produce peptides that stimulate appetite contributing to obesity, autoimmune diseases, and systemic inflammation. Eliminating wheat, grains, and sugar can improve conditions like endometriosis and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), while addressing nutrient deficiencies for hormonal balance.
- Microbiome & Women's Health: Disruption from antibiotics and pesticides impacts pregnancy and menopause. Restoring beneficial microbes can reduce symptoms, and support overall well-being.
- Probiotics: Fermenting human microbes creates potent, affordable probiotics to significantly boost gut and vaginal health. DIY probiotic yogurt is an easy solution.
- SIBO & Endotoxemia: Overgrowth of fecal microbes in the small intestine causes systemic inflammation, affecting hormones, weight, and chronic disease risk. Restoring good microbes can eradicate SIBO and reduce toxic effects.
- Holistic Women's Health: Microbial restoration and nutrition are key tools in aging gracefully and preventing disease.
