Yes, you can lose weight by reducing calories whether through a calorie-cutting diet, bariatric procedure, or pharmaceutical. But the effect is almost always temporary and followed by a return of weight followed by significant downturn in health. You were also likely not advised that losing weight by cutting calories, we now know through tracking of large numbers of people over many years, likely abbreviates your life by several years. In this and future podcasts, I will be introducing concepts that block these effects, concepts that I shall be exploring in even greater depth in my new book, Super Body. **Disclaimer:** The information presented in my books, blog posts, YouTube videos, podcasts, and other content is for informational and educational purposes only.

“Everyone coming in the door were sick and had already been to 8 or 10 healthcare practitioners and weren’t better yet. This is all wrong.” “It’s not just what you eat. It’s the air you breathe and the water you drink, the personal care products you use, household cleaning products. . .” Here is a conversation I had recently with with Reed Davis, a board-certified Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP) and Certified Nutritional Therapist (CNT). Over many years of experience, Reed has developed expertise in applying functional lab testing to pinpoint environmental, hormonal, nutritional, and other health disruptions and toxicities. He is the Founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) and the FDN Certification Course that has trained over 4000 graduates in 50 countries that follow Reed’s principles of functional testing and remediation. Reed is a fountain of knowledge and experience on solving health questions even after many doctors have failed.

In this episode of Defiant Health, I’ve brought empowerment strategist JJ Flizanes back for a second interview. Because JJ brings such high energy and unique wisdom to emotional issues—issues that I do not discuss much at all—that I thought it would be helpful to everyone to bring her back on. JJ has a varied background as an actress, personal trainer, and now as a coach on behavior, helping people find their weak spots, behaviors or beliefs that block their success in health, weight loss, relationships and other spheres of life. Although I know that my programs, whether you call it Wheat Belly, Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox, Undoctored, or my most recent umbrella program, DrDavisInfiniteHealth.com and the Super Gut book, although I know that my programs work, they don’t always work for everybody. Some people start, but don’t follow through. Other engage in the programs intermittently and therefore don’t obtain full benefit. Other start strong, obtain huge benefits, then oddly give up. In other words, some people, despite the best of intentions, self-sabotage, even when the answers are easily within reach. And it’s often the case that this is part of a long-term pattern of self-sabotage, of knowing how to accomplish something but not giving it your all or just giving up. I therefore wanted to bring JJ back to discuss emotional healing. She focuses specifically on how to identify what she calls “core wounds,” events or people in your past that continue to influence current behavior. JJ also has a panel of strategies she puts to work to change or eliminate these behaviors. What I especially like about JJ’s approach is that she doesn’t waste time, asking you to engage in years of therapy, but to devote just a few hours, a few sessions to gain insight into your behavior and discover new solutions.

There is no shortage of silly advice on how to reduce sugar cravings, the seemingly irresistible desire for something sweet. “Eat just a little,” “Combine sweets with other foods,” “Get more protein” or other advice dominates this conversation. This advice is ineffective and makes no physiological sense. Yet it is possible to completely ablate this impulse, turn it off entirely and put you back in the driver’s seat of appetite. But it requires some unconventional thinking that, I hope, you have come to expect from the discussions I provide. In this episode of Defiant Health, I shall therefore share 4 strategies that each dramatically reduce your desire for sugary foods and, when combined, can completely free you from such impulses. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 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.

I’ve previously discussed this important micronutrient, iodine, but I fear the message has not gotten through to many people. So let’s tackle it again, highlighting just what a huge public health problem iodine deficiency was for most of human history until recently. Now, due to misguided modern dietary advice, deficiency of this important micronutrient is making a comeback and, with it, thyroid problems and all the associated challenges that accompany a failing thyroid gland. To view some images of goiters throughout human history, as depicted in numerous pieces of artwork, see my recent DrDavisInfiniteHealth.com blog post. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 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.

In this episode of Defiant Health, I interview Oklahoma dentist, health and wellness coach, and advocate of managing the oral microbiome, Dr. Debbie Ozment. I met Dr. Ozment during one of my two-way weekly video meetups on my DrDavisInfiniteHealth.com where she provided a presentation on the oral microbiome. I was impressed with her tremendous command of this area that drives home the message that oral health and the oral microbiome are major determinants of overall health. She discusses, for instance, how the oral microbe Porphyromonas gingivalis plays a role in Alzheimer’s dementia, and Fusobacterium from the gums is proving to be a major cause for colon cancer---all factors you are able to address. I believe you will find Dr. Ozment’s interview informative and enlightening. About Dr. Ozment A graduate of Oklahoma University College of Dentistry, she served as adjunct faculty there for seven years. Dr. Ozment completed a Masters' degree in Metabolic and Nutritional Medicine from the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine and is a Diplomate with the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. Trained at Mayo Clinic, she is a Nationally Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach.

In this episode of Defiant Health, let’s discuss how the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans got a lot of things wrong. Of course, I have previously discussed on many occasions the hazards of a diet reduced in fat and rich in “healthy whole grains,” a style of eating that increases the likelihood of weight gain, fatty liver, type 2 diabetes, even increases cardiovascular risk, largely due to amylopectin A carbohydrate of wheat and grains, as well as gliadin protein-derived opioid peptides that are appetite stimulants. This was the focus of my Wheat Belly series of books. But the dietary guidelines that encouraged Americans to reduce fat intake also led to some inadvertent blunders that pose real health consequences. Perhaps we would never have learned about these issues if we had not made the national mistake of reducing fat. So let’s talk about these inadvertent blunders and what you can do to compensate for them.

In this episode of Defiant Health, let’s clear up some misconceptions about the common problem of constipation, an issue that plagues around 10-20% of people at any one time. While the official definition of constipation is having 3 or fewer bowel movements per week, I would say that the official definition is way off. 3 or fewer bowel movements per week is an awful standard, one that is likely to impact health in other ways, as well as being uncomfortable. And the standard remedies for constipation have problems, real problems. So let’s cut through the nonsense and talk about how and why constipation develops and what you can do about it without resorting to absurd and harmful conventional solutions.

In this episode of Defiant Health, let’s talk about some new insights into a very serious issue that afflicts many females: repeated urinary tract infections, or UTIs. This can happen to a female at any age, but becomes an especially frequent problem as women get older. Of course, the conventional “solution” is to prescribe course after course of antibiotics that disrupt the entire body’s microbiome and not uncommonly leads to dysbiosis in the colon and other organs, SIBO, vaginal candida infections and other problems. A number of new observations have emerged that are completely changing the understanding of this common problem. One new and exciting insight is that the urinary system has its own unique microbiome, i.e., a collection of microbes that normally colonize the bladder and other portions of the urinary system, despite having been regarded as sterile for many years. It is disruption of this urinary microbiome that is a major contributor to repeated UTIs. It’s also become clear that the vaginal microbiome is a major determinant of urinary health. Let’s talk about why this happens and what steps you can take to stack the odds in favor of putting a stop to this annoying and health-impairing issue. ________________________________________________________________________________ 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.
