Defiant Health Radio with Dr. William Davis

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. ...

If you have made efforts to reverse small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, SIBO, how can you know whether you have succeeded?

Here are a number of indicators you can use to decide. After all, reverse SIBO and the endotoxemia that accompanies it provides huge advantages in virtually every aspect of health: emotional, physical, social.

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.

Why does much of the world cling to the outdated notion that cholesterol is the cause of heart disease and that reducing cholesterol is the solution, even after decades of evidence have more than amply demonstrated that this approach is woefully inadequate? Sadly, it's about money. 

But you do not have to be hogtied by financial concerns. You can take a path that actually works. You can start by measuring small dense LD...

The evolving science has become overwhelming: Lipopolysaccharide endotoxemia, i.e., the entry of bacterial breakdown products into the bloodstream, is a major driver of multiple problems in female reproductive health. Unfortunately, this crucial factor is almost never addressed in conventional healthcare settings. 

Thankfully, there are steps YOU can take personally to address this important health issue.

Food intolerances are growing and more and more people are unable to eat FODMAPs-containing foods, histamine-containing foods, nightshades, legumes, fructose-containing foods and numerous others, sometimes reduced to consuming only a handful of "safe" foods. 

Why is this happening, something that was virtually unknown only a generation or two ago? Much of it is due to the excessive proliferation of Proteobacteria specie...

If you are given the kindergarten version of a healthy diet, well, you can expect mediocre results at best, disastrous results at worst. 

Why not graduate to a higher level of dietary understanding? But don't count on obtaining such insights from conventional sources. Here are some cold, hard facts about the consumption of wheat and grains that everyone should be aware of.

They are somewhat more advanced concepts, but the microbial phenomena of endotoxemia and translocation are proving to be critical processes in initiating or worsening a long list of human health conditions. Because most mainstream doctors have abdicated their responsibility in providing advice to maintaining or regaining health, it is up to YOU to understand these important concepts. 

Here is a basic discussion to help ...

Despite my Wheat Belly series of books having been read by millions of people in nearly 40 countries, many people still think that a grain-based diet is healthy. Many also confuse this message with being "gluten-free."

Let's think about this issue more clearly so that you understand the power you have in your hands to assume control over health and weight by being smarter and better informed than the misguided masses followi...

Scientific insights into the oral microbiome are yielding many new lessons for dental health: mouthwashes are actually dangerous, fluoridated drinking water does not prevent cavities, some toothpastes contain harmful additives. 

But the most important factor for dental health is often neglected: the role of eliminating grains. The amylopectin A of grains is a major factor in degrading dental health and the oral microbio...

A number of studies in which the brain tissue of people who have died of dementia have revealed the presence of microbial species such as Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Tannerella forsythia--all oral microbes. This is an example of translocation, i.e., the migration of microbes from one body site to another. But does this cause or accelerate dementia? This remains an unsettled issue. 

However, if...

We've been fermenting HUMAN-SOURCED microbes to generate very high microbial counts and obtain specific health benefits. The end-result looks and smells sort of like conventional yogurt, but it is NOT yogurt. (I called it "yogurt" for lack of a better term.) It's my way of generating high counts of important microbes that most people have lost due to antibiotics and other factors. You can enjoy this unique "yogurt" with some bluebe...

Apoprotein B provides a virtual count of the lipoprotein particles in the bloodstream that cause coronary heart disease. It is often held up as superior to the widely used LDL cholesterol value. Is this true?

It is true, but it does not mean that measuring apoprotein B tells you much about health. Compare this to the enormous amount of insight provided by measuring the REAL cause of heart disease: small LDL particles that gi...

Why has yogurt making gone viral?

First of all, it's NOT yogurt. It looks and smells like yogurt. By FDA regulations, something called yogurt must be fermented with traditional yogurt-making microbes Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. That's NOT what we are doing.

Instead, we are fermenting human microbes, i.e., microbes that are adapted to the human body and provide substantial benefits but hav...

The evidence is growing that suggest that microplastics, or more specifically smaller nanoplastics, are triggers for atherosclerotic disease with increased risk for heart attack, stroke, and death. 

While your doctor wastes your time and money obsessing about cholesterol and statin drugs that should have been discarded decades ago, you need to address the REAL factors that cause heart disease. Add nanoplastics to that l...

Abdominal visceral fat, i.e., fat within the abdominal cavity that surrounds abdominal organs, is unique and the source of so many common health problems. While people who are overweight with a protuberant abdomen almost always have an excess of abdomen visceral fat, it can also occur with a flat abdomen. 

You can reduce and track the amount of abdominal visceral fat with home bioimpedance devices. Here are some unconve...

The crime is not having type 2 diabetes. The crime is that conventional forces in healthcare essentially turn a blind eye to all the ways available to NOT be a type 2 diabetic. 

Pharmaceutical executives throw lavish parties to celebrate the huge revenues that derive from diabetes drugs that now include the awful GLP-1 agonists, while almost no one in healthcare shows people how to not be diabetic--THAT's the crime.&nbs...
