Defiant Health Radio with Dr. William Davis

It's not about having the build of a bodybuilder, nor 6-pack abs, or bulging biceps. It's about having optimal metabolic health that stacks the odds in favor of being free of heart disease, risk for cognitive impairment, cancer, loss of independence and other health conditions. We therefore work to reduce or minimize abdominal visceral fat while restoring youthful musculature. We do so starting with unique methods to restore a healthy gastrointestinal microbiome, then restore other factors largely absent from the modern health experience, effects you can track using a variety of methods: biomarkers, grip strength, visceral fat measurement, for example. 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

My 30+ years of involvement with CT heart scans and coronary calcium scores has yielded many important lessons on how to halt, then reverse, the accumulation of coronary atherosclerotic plaque and thereby risk for heart attack, need for heart procedures, and sudden cardiac death.Here, I discuss the crucial importance of vitamin D and how, by addressing this issue, it was the first time I saw actual reductions in coronary calcium scores. 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

Amylopectin A is the branching carbohydrate unique to wheat and grains that sends blood sugar through the roof, increases liver production of triglycerides, contributes to risk for heart disease, and accelerates many of the phenomena of aging. Yet we are essentially advised to include sources of this demon carbohydrate in our daily diets. You need to be informed and recognized that so much of what your are told in diet and health is crafted for profit, not your benefit. **Disclaimer:**The information presented in my books, blog posts, YouTube videos, podcasts, and other content is for informational and educational purposes only.

If you lose weight by reducing calories--a diet, bariatric procedure, or pharmaceutical like a GLP-1 agonist--you will indeed lose weight at first. But long-term, unhealthy changes in health will develop: eventual weight regain, increased risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, dementia, frailty. And thare are now sufficient data to tell us that you also cut your life short by several years. The key: NEVER engage in any of these methods. If you have, there are steps you can take to compensate and specifically target the most unhealthy forms of body fat, restore youthful muscle, restore basal metabolic rate and thereby absolve yourself of these unhealthy outcomes. You can find a full discussion of these strategies in my new Super Body book:https://www.amazon.com/SUPER-Body-Composition-Youthful-Contours/dp/0306835991Support 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

Nearly 30 years of misinformation, disinformation, and misleading marketing have left most people confused: Do omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil reduce cardiovascular risk, dementia, and other conditions?

Final conclusion: Omega-3 fatty acids are among the most important components of diet you can consume to reduce both cardiovascular risk--even facilitate regression--and dementia. 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
