	Pushback against GLP-1 agonists	05 Nov 2025	00:11:35
Millions of people have been persuaded that the GLP-1 agonist drugs are the answer to their weight loss prayers. While they do work well in the near-term for weight loss, the long-term health price you pay is substantial with a future of increased risk for frailty, loss of independence, and premature death. A better way is to manage the amount and location of muscle and fat, i.e., shape and body composition. And you can do so easily, naturally, and inexpensively.

	Why Weight Loss Can Be Harmful to Your Health	22 Oct 2025	00:08:12
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.

	What was this Wheat Belly thing all about?	05 Aug 2025	00:15:14
When the first Wheat Belly book was released in 2011, it quickly leapt to centerstage, gaining a huge worldwide following. Millions of copies of the book were sold in 37 countries, the conversation was featured in major media from network news to Dr. Oz to . I don’t believe that this was due to my personal charm or charisma, but because it worked: people experienced unexpected and substantial health and weight loss benefits even if such things had eluded them for years. Well, over those 15 years, memories have faded and, sadly, some people have gradually gravitated back to consuming this thing that was essentially created in a laboratory with geneticists and farmers amplifying its toxic effects. People succumb to media, marketing, and the pressures of people around them who are ready to say things like “How can that possibly be true?” or “Everything in moderation” or “Just a little won’t hurt.” In this episode of the Defiant Health podcast, let’s review the arguments I made in the original Wheat Belly book to remind you that, yes, this is among the most toxic things that has ever emerged from the food and agribusiness industries.

	The Low-Fat Dietary Disaster	12 Jul 2022	00:28:21
Make no mistake: the low-fat dietary message of the last 50+ years has been a huge disaster. Coupled with predatory practices of Big Food companies, the result is the world's worst epidemics of obesity and overweight, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, and Alzheimer's dementia in the history of humans on this planet. Yet there has been no attempt by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, USDA, or any other agency to retract this awful and disastrous message. Beyond the obvious consequences, there are many other less obvious consequences. Let's talk about those less well-recognized, yet still with profound effects for health, of the awful advice to cut dietary fat. Then let's talk about solutions to this mess.

	The Great Microbiome Desert	30 Jun 2022	00:32:30
Compared to human populations following hunter-gatherer lifestyles, we have lost hundreds of microbial species in our gastrointestinal microbiomes. Many of these species performed useful functions in human health that we have therefore lost. Loss of these species has also allowed unhealthy, potentially pathogenic species, to proliferate and dominate, even ascending up the small intestine. This situation--small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, or SIBO--is now epidemic, affecting greater than 1 in 3 Americans. And it takes a serious toll on your health, mental and physical. Your journey back to health starts by recognizing and acknowledging that there is indeed a problem. Then begin taking steps to correct this situation.

	Five Strategies for Heart Health You Probably Didn't Know About	21 Jun 2022	00:38:59
While the world obsesses about this silly notion of cholesterol as a cause for heart disease, they ignore the many other--and more important--causes of heart disease, causes that you can manage effectively on your own. It does NOT require prescription drugs or procedures to have a major impact on the factors that lead to heart attack, need for heart procedures, or sudden cardiac death. The number one killer of men and women worldwide can be managed YEARS before danger sets in but the answers will not be found in cholesterol, fat intake, or other conventional notions of heart health.

	Two Nutrients, Two Microbes Crucial for Pregnancy and Lactation	06 Jun 2022	00:21:32
Here are two nutrients and two microbes that play huge roles in material and infant health, yet almost no obstetrician or gynecologist is advising their patients about them--a major oversight! Because doctors are not doing their job in advising people on how to stack the odds in favor of not having premature labor, correcting vaginal dysbiosis, and markedly improving the health of their child, you can take the reins of health on your own. I also include a discussion about human milk oligosaccharides and their importance to babies and perhaps even to adults.

	Little Known Benefits of Omega-3 Fatty Acids	24 May 2022	00:19:55
If you've been following my programs, you are likely already supplementing around 3000-3600 mg per day of EPA+DHA for heart health benefits, as well as reduced potential for Alzheimer's dementia and to reduce triglycerides. But did you know that there are important benefits of omega-3 fatty acids for pregnancy, lactation, early neurodevelopment, and for reducing endotoxemia? Omega-3 fatty acids are a good example of something that is essential, as they play crucial roles in many aspects of human health and development.

	What should blood sugar be after a meal?	12 May 2022	00:17:11
Tracking finger stick blood glucoses can be an extremely powerful tool for health--if used properly. Unfortunately, most conventional doctors have no idea how to do this and instead advise you that blood sugars of up to 200 mg/dl are acceptable. This is absolutely and completely wrong. Tracking blood sugars prior to a meal, then 30-60 minutes after a meal, to identify peak blood glucose provides insights into diet and health that can even be used by someone with type 2 diabetes to become non-diabetic, to facilitate weight loss, and even to address risk for heart disease. We do so by following my "No Change Rule" for blood glucose.

	The Oxytocin Project	03 May 2022	00:18:51
Lactobacillus reuteri is one of the most important bacterial species in the human microbiome. Yet it has been lost by the majority of Americans due to this microbe's susceptibility to common antibiotics like amoxicillin and ampicillin. One of the terrific benefits of L. reuteri is its ability to provoke release of the hormone, oxytocin, from the brain. Until recently, there was no user-friendly way to boost oxytocin. It cannot be ingested orally because the digestive process breaks it down. It can be injected but lasts only about 3 minutes. It can be administered via nasal inhaler but requires 3 squirts four times per day in each nostril, with each dose lasting only 60-90 minutes. We now know that restoring this lost microbe, L reuteri, is key: restore it and you create a source of endogenous oxytocin. Oxytocin is the hormone of love and empathy. It causes you to engage with other people, take an interest in them, understand their points of view better--can you appreciate how important this hormone can be for human social interaction? Spread the word: you can restore L reuteri and thereby oxytocin and perhaps make the world a little better place. One source of L. reuteri is the BioGaia Gastrus product available on Amazon or through the U.S. distributor, Everidis: everidis.com I shall be reporting on the results of our animal study comparing different strains of L. reuteri, meaning that we will know which strain is most effective for this phenomenon. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ My new book is Super Gut: A Four-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight that shows you 1) how to identify and replace lost microbes from the human microbiome with extraordinary results, and 2) how to beat back unhealthy microbes that have proliferated and can be responsible for numerous health conditions.

	Become a Microbiome Citizen Scientist	20 Apr 2022	00:25:55
The tools and insights into the human microbiome are exploding and everyday people--non-scientists, non-microbiologists--are able to generate new experiences and learn new lessons that provide important advantages in health. We, as microbiome citizen scientists, are learning new lessons virtually every day: how to increase energy, smooth skin wrinkles, reduce arthritis pain and perhaps even slow or reverse joint arthritis, improve mood, deepen sleep, all by managing our microbiomes. For example, we have discovered that microbes fermented to high counts generate deep sleep, a phenomenon not previously described in experimental clinical trials. Join the movement and become a microbiome citizen scientist and empower yourself in health. Mentioned in the podcast: "SIBO Yogurt" contains Lactobacillus gasseri, Lactobacillus reuteri, and Bacillus coagulans.

	Making Sense Out of Thyroid Health	13 Apr 2022	00:23:38
Although I and others have discussed thyroid health issues many times over the years, I still see people struggling to understand how to best manage this important area of health. And getting thyroid right to optimal levels is really fairly straightforward, except that many doctors remain uninformed or disinterested in helping you achieve ideal thyroid status. Among the issues I address: How to recognize symptoms of thyroid dysfunction, especially hypothyroidism How to use oral temperature as a screening tool for thyroid disease What blood tests you need to insist on for a full thyroid assessment How to manage iodine Why so many people taking levothyroxine remain hypothyroid The role of the microbiome in thyroid health Why addressing the T3 thyroid hormone is our workaround for an inability to fully avoid industrial chemicals My new book is Super Gut: A Four-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight that shows you 1) how to identify and replace lost microbes from the human microbiome with extraordinary results, and 2) how to beat back unhealthy microbes that have proliferated and can be responsible for numerous health conditions.

	10 things you may not know about your CT heart scan and coronary calcium score	25 Jul 2025	00:21:25
While CT heart scans are becoming increasingly popular to generate a coronary calcium score as a gauge of coronary atherosclerotic plaque and thereby risk for heart attack, there is actually a treasure trove of other useful information provided by the scan—but often not reported to you. In this episode of the Defiant Health podcast, I therefore help make you aware of the wealth of information provided by a CT heart scan that can empower you further in maintaining health and preventing heart disease.

	The Intestinal Microbiome and Sleep	03 Apr 2022	00:26:21
The intestinal microbiome, i.e., the collection of microbes in your gastrointestinal tract, are proving to be major players in the length, quality, and content of your sleep. The intestinal microbiome can make the difference between deep, restful, dream-filled sleep, to superficial, disrupted, dreamless sleep, and all the emotional and health consequences that accompany these crucial differences. You can take steps, including cultivation of specific microbial species, to regain wonderful, restful, dream-filled sleep by taking control over your microbiome, including cultivation of specific species that exert effects over sleep.

	The Birth of Wheat Belly	30 Mar 2022	00:46:06
How did a cardiologist aborting heart attacks, putting in stents, and performing other heart procedures end up talking about the destructive effects of wheat? It was far from a straight line but a series of blunders and inadvertent discoveries that led me down this path. But it was a path that showed me how powerful going against conventional advice could be that led to spectacular weight loss in people, putting many people with type 2 diabetes into remission, reducing blood pressure, and reversing numerous other common chronic health conditions. To read further about the rationale, science, and practice of wheat/grain-free living, see my Wheat Belly: Revised & Expanded Edition.

	Vitamin D: Get It Right For Full Benefit	25 Mar 2022	00:33:29
It's a basic requirement of life and health: vitamin D. Even after I and others have been broadcasting this message for over 10 years, many still ignore it, remain skeptical, or simply don't get it right. And, sadly, you cannot rely on your doctor to get it right, as they often say things like "You can get all the vitamin D you need from diet, or "Just get some sun," or "There's no need for vitamin D"--all of which is tragically wrong. But getting it right yields SO many health benefits. So it is important for YOU to know when vitamin D is just right and enjoy all its spectacular health benefits. My new book is Super Gut: A Four-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight that shows you 1) how to identify and replace lost microbes from the human microbiome with extraordinary results, and 2) how to beat back unhealthy microbes that have proliferated and can be responsible for numerous health conditions.

	SIBO Yogurt	20 Mar 2022	00:25:40
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, or SIBO, in which unhealthy bacterial species have proliferated and ascended up the 24-feet of small intestine, is now epidemic, an epidemic that underlies common health struggles that include weight gain, obesity, pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes, autoimmune diseases, irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and numerous other health conditions. Solutions for SIBO typically involve antibiotics, despite being a condition that was likely caused, or at least worsened, by antibiotics in the first place. But I believe that we may have a solution that involves cultivating specific microbial species as a yogurt, something I call "SIBO Yogurt" that provides microbes with specific characteristics that may reduce or eradicate SIBO. AIRE device from FoodMarble: https://foodmarble.com For the full instructions on how to use the AIRE device for detection of SIBO, the herbal antibiotic regimen we use, and the recipe on SIBO Yogurt, see the Super Gut book: My new book is Super Gut: A Four-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight that shows you 1) how to identify and replace lost microbes from the human microbiome with extraordinary results, and 2) how to beat back unhealthy microbes that have proliferated and can be responsible for numerous health conditions.

	Depression and the Gut-Brain Axis	08 Mar 2022	00:18:24
Conventional "solutions" for depression are largely inadequate: often ineffective, with side-effects that include weight gain, sexual dysfunction, and suicide. Evidence is increasingly pointing towards the intestinal microbiome as a source for depressive symptoms. This tells us that prescription drugs such as the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, that only address a step in the pathway of serotonin metabolism, do not address the underlying cause of many, if not most, cases of depression: disruption of the intestinal microbiome. Species such as Turicibacter sanguinis are proving to be crucial players in mood, while bacterial and fungal overgrowth, SIBO and SIFO, can also be common contributors to depression. The bad news: these disruptions of the intestinal microbiome are common and widespread. The good news: there are steps you can take to remedy the situation and thereby potentially have marked effects on mood and depression.

	Five Events That Transformed My Views on Health	04 Mar 2022	00:40:15
Over the past 30 years, I have made a number of blunders in health. But I always made it a point to learn from my mistakes. Doing so taught me a number of important lessons in health and nutrition, lessons that revealed just how little conventional ideas on health yielded and how doing things very differently yields enormous health advantages. In this episode of Defiant Health, I therefore recount: How cutting dietary fat and eating plenty of "healthy whole grains" leads to metabolic disasters How the death of my mother from sudden cardiac death showed me how inadequate heart procedures are for dealing with coronary heart disease How rejecting cholesterol and resorting to more advanced lipoprotein testing illustrated how not cutting fat and banishing all grains and sugars yielded huge advantages and led to methods to reduce coronary calcium scores Despite the enormous advantages of the Wheat Belly grain-free lifestyle, there were people who had residual health issues such as stalled weight loss, food intolerances, or autoimmune conditions that finally responded to more vigorous efforts to rebuild a healthy microbiome How identifying, then replacing, microbes lost from the modern human microbiome yields extraordinary benefits such as deeper sleep, restoration of youthful muscle, smoother skin with fewer wrinkles, and preservation of bone density. And why and how following these strategies, drawn from lessons learned by making huge blunders in health, yields a level of health that is superior to the "health" the doctor provides.

	I read an excerpt from my new book, Super Gut: Chapter 5	25 Feb 2022	00:31:10
Here I read an excerpt from my new book, Super Gut: A Four-Week Program to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight, specifically chapter 5, Mind Your Mucus. Before we get to the business of restoring lost microbes and pushing back unwanted species from the upper GI tract, we can also take action to strengthen the mucus barrier. Some strategies I advocate can bring relief from issues like abdominal discomfort and bloating within minutes to hours of adopting. I discuss: What role mucus plays in gastrointestinal health Why the fragile single-layer mucus barrier of the small bowel is ill-suited to blocking microbes normally present in the colon and stool How and why foods like the eugenol of cloves and catechins of green tea can be used to thicken and fortify the mucus barrier Find Super Gut in these bookstores: Barnes & Noble Amazon Books a Million For more information on Dr. Davis’ programs: Books: My new book is 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 edition Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox Wheat Belly 30-Minute (Or Less!)

	Make Saccharomyces boulardii Sparkling Cider Probiotic	05 Feb 2022	00:18:47
Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic fungus, a relative of Saccharomyces cerevisiae used to ferment wine and beer, but better adapted to living in the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Although it does not take up long-term residence, its passage through the GI tract has been associated with substantial health benefits. Making a sparkling cider with this microbial species is an easy way to increase the number of microbes you can obtain while enjoying this delicious effervescent drink. It also saves you money, as future batches can be made from previous batches. Florastor is our preferred source of the Saccharomyces boulardii CNDM I-745 strain, available at most major pharmacies and department stores, as well as online sources. If these sorts of unique methods to rebuild a damaged microbiome interest you, then take a look at my new book, Super Gut: A Four-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight, available through all major book retailers.

	Yogurt of Love	26 Jan 2022	00:18:29
Restoration of a microbe lost by the majority of people, Lactobacillus reuteri, causes the brain to release oxytocin, the hormone of love, affection, and empathy. It brings you closer to other people, helps you see another person's point of view--it makes you a better human being. It also brings on what can be regarded as age-reversing effects: smoother skin, restoration of lost muscle and strength, deeper sleep, reduced appetite, accelerated healing, and other benefits. We increase bacterial counts 1000--fold by fermenting the microbe as yogurt with impressive results for many people. L reuteri yogurt recipe: https://drdavisinfinitehealth.com/201...

	How to use inulin to map the location of microbes in your GI tract	07 Jul 2025	00:18:46
Inulin is a common fiber, the fiber found in root vegetables like onions, garlic, shallots, asparagus, jicama and many other foods. Humans lack the digestive enzymes, however, for metabolizing inulin, but microbes living in your gastrointestinal track are able to metabolize it. When beneficial microbes metabolize inulin, they convert it to fatty acids with numerous beneficial effects on gastrointestinal, brain, and metabolic health. But, when undesirable microbes metabolize inulin, bad things can happen and cause you to experience symptoms such as excessive bloating, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, mental effects such as anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, worsening joint pain or skin rashes. The difference is all about location of these microbes, where they are located in the 30-feet of your gastrointestinal tract. In this episode of the Defiant Health podcast, Let’s therefore discuss how to use the common fiber inulin to map where such microbes are living in your GI tract and, should you determine that undesirable species are living where they don’t belong, what you can do about it.

	Ancient Love	29 Dec 2021	00:21:14
Because most of us as modern people have lost the intestinal microbe, Lactobacillus reuteri, that is responsible for increasing release of the hormone, oxytocin, from the brain, are the phenomena of love, affection, and concern for other people less intense than they used to be in prior times? Was love and affection stronger, for instance, in the 19th century, the Middle Ages, or the Greek Empire? I share a unique personal experience that indelibly imprinted this question on my brain. In the meantime, you can enjoy the restoration of increased love, empathy, and social connection by restoring this microbe to your intestinal microbiome.

	Interview with Dr. David Perlmutter and about his new book "Drop Acid"	17 Nov 2021	00:33:42
Neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter, known to most Defiant Health listeners as The NY Times bestseller author of Grain Brain, as well as Brain Maker and Brain Wash, makes some surprising and enlightening observations about a blood marker called uric acid. Up until recently, uric acid was thought to be the factor that caused gout and kidney stones. But Dr. Perlmutter reports on emerging science that shows that tracking uric acid is almost as crucial to health as tracking blood sugar and that uric acid underlies many common chronic diseases. Understand what your uric acid level means, then take natural action to bring it under control to gain advantages in health and risk for many health conditions. Dr. Perlmutter's newest book is Drop Acid: The Surprising New Science of Uric Acid--The Key to Losing Weight, Controlling Blood Sugar, and Achieving Extraordinary Health to be released Feb 15, 2022 and available through all major bookstores including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Indie Books.

	Top Ten Reasons to Never Eat Wheat	14 Nov 2021	00:19:16
Despite the widespread advice to consume more "healthy whole grains," a wide range of health problems, sometimes catastrophic, develop with their consumption. Humans made the mistake of incorporating the seeds of grasses ("grains") into their diet 10-12,000 years ago, not recognizing that they were trading health problems for near-term survival. Then modern agribusiness and genetics manipulations amplified the problems inherent to wheat and grains. The result: deterioration in health, weight gain, type 2 diabetes on a scale never before seen. But recognize this fundamental dietary blunder and you are given the key to regaining magnificent health.

	The Truth About Food Intolerances	05 Nov 2021	00:27:41
Food intolerances are proving to be a rapidly growing problem: intolerances to nightshades, so-called FODMAPs, fructose, histamine-containing foods and others. But why? And does just eliminating the food solve the problem? We need to view food intolerances as a warning sign of the process that causes food intolerances in the first place: disruptions of bowel flora and especially small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, SIBO. Unrecognized or ignored and SIBO can lead over time to weight gain, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune conditions, neurodegenerative diseases, even gastrointestinal cancers. Recognize, confirm, then manage SIBO so that you do not experience health problems later. And much or all of this can be managed on your own, although a little guidance can help.

	The Magic of Oxytocin	21 Oct 2021	00:19:13
It has only recently become clear that the hormone oxytocin profoundly influences many features of aging: skin, muscle, bone, etc. Most modern people, however, have lost the intestinal microbe, Lactobacillus reuteri or L. reuteri, responsible for provoking release of oxytocin from the brain (hypothalamus). You can therefore restore this lost microbe that, in turn, causes oxytocin to be released and enjoy thicker smoother skin with fewer wrinkles, restoration of youthful muscle and strength, deeper sleep with vivid dreams, reduction in appetite, and--because oxytocin also influences human social behavior--empathy, a desire for social connection, and reduction in social anxiety. We accomplish this by using a unique fermentation method I devised that increases the number of bacteria to hundreds of billions that therefore provides even greater benefits.

	The Guardrails of Diet	24 Jun 2025	00:20:01
Here are what I call "The Guardrails of Diet,' i.e.., metabolic markers that tell you whether your diet is genuinely healthy or not. Too many people put too much stock in either a single marker like blood glucose, or the wrong marker like LDL cholesterol that takes you down the path of health disruptions: weight gain, visceral fat expansion, protein glycation, insulin resistance, formation of VLDL particles, cause you to rely on unhealthy foods, even increased risk for heart disease and other conditions. In this episode of the Defiant Health podcast, Let’s therefore discuss how to identify the markers that keep you on course for an ideal diet.

	Collagen: It's Not Just About Skin Health	13 Oct 2021	00:15:58
The modern diet is woefully deficient in the protein collagen and, as a result, we experience increased potential for skin wrinkles, slower healing, arthritis in joints, even diseases of the aorta. You can correct this situation by including foods rich in collagen, knowing how to navigate collagen hydrolysates, and taking advantage of boosting oxytocin by restoring the intestinal microbe, Lactobacillus reuteri.

	Does Wheat Cause Heart Disease?	05 Oct 2021	00:21:33
The American Heart Association and other agencies, dietitians, and doctors all urge us to cut our intake of fat and eat more "healthy whole grains," ignoring the fact that wheat and other grains provoke a panel of unhealthy metabolic changes that hugely increase risk for heart disease. Understand these phenomena, ban all wheat and grains from your life, and enormous changes develop across multiple metabolic markers that add up to reduced risk for heart disease. Even better, incorporate the short list of nutrients lacking in modern life that further correct insulin resistance and inflammation and take basic efforts to address intestinal microbiome composition and you have the formula for slenderness and freedom from numerous common chronic health conditions.

	Do You Have the Oxytocin Deficiency Syndrome?	28 Sep 2021	00:13:06
Most people already know that the hormone oxytocin is the hormone of love and of uterine contraction during childbirth. But that is only the tip of the iceberg of what this hormone can do. Higher levels of oxytocin have been found to increase dermal collagen and thereby reduce skin wrinkles, restore youthful muscle and strength, preserve bone density, deepen sleep, reduce appetite and have other youth-preserving, anti-aging effects. So how do you recognize a lack of oxytocin and how can you increase your levels to obtain such benefits?

	How a Low-Carb Lifestyle Can Lead To Trouble	22 Sep 2021	00:13:37
Low-carb diets work. They are more effective at weight loss and reducing health conditions such as high blood sugar, high blood pressure, even fatty liver. Whether you call it ketogenic, carnivorous, Atkins' or other version of a low-carb diet, the majority of people experience substantial near-term health benefits. But there are some issues to be aware of to prevent the long-term health deteriorations that can develop from such lifestyles. This is why diet is powerful but not enough for genuine long-term health. You must therefore address common nutrient deficiencies that result from modern life, exposures to various toxins in your food and environment, and address your intestinal microbiome. Paleovalley is Defiant Health's newest sponsor because they only use ultra-clean ingredients that are also delicious. And their grass-fed beef sticks are fermented and thereby a source of healthy probiotics! More information here: paleovalley.com Shipping is free for orders of $75 or more.

	Interview with Paleovalley co-founder, Autumn Smith and her journey back to health	13 Sep 2021	00:16:19
My guest in this episode of Defiant Health is co-founder of Paleovalley, Autumn Smith. Autumn describes the emotional and physical struggles she had earlier in her life, finding the healthcare system useless for effective solutions. She and her husband learned about the power of diet and all her health problems are now just a memory. This inspired the couple to start Paleovalley. I’ve had a chance to try a number of their products and they are absolutely terrific. It’s not easy finding products that don’t contain unhealthy ingredients that are consistent with the lifestyles we follow, that is the Wheat Belly and Undoctored lifestyles. That’s why I was so pleasantly surprised to see that the entire line of Paleovalley products—grass-fed fermented beef sticks, turkey sticks, low-carb Super Food snack bars, a bone broth collagen protein powder, Super Greens powder rich in phytonutrients and others—contain only healthy ingredients with no unhealthy additives. Incredible attention to detail has been devoted by Autumn and her co-founders.

	Interview With Microbiome Guru Brenda Watson	04 Sep 2021	00:37:21
Brenda Watson's name may already be familiar to you, having been featured on Dr. Oz, Good Morning America, and six PBS specials. She is also a prolific author of books such as The Road to Perfect Health and Fiber 35 Diet. But you may not know that she, along with her husband Stan, were the founders of Renew Life, for many years the largest probiotic company in the U.S. that they have since sold, then started a new probiotic company, Vital Planet. With 25 years of experience in the world of the microbiome, my conversation with Brenda yielded many valuable insights into the power of managing the human microbiome. She is a vocal advocate for the restoration of microbial diversity, one of the most important and insightful aspects of bowel flora management.

	Iodine Deficiency: The Forgotten Public Health Crisis	18 Aug 2021	00:14:24
All throughout human history and up until approximately 100 years ago, iodine deficiency, goiters (enlarged thyroid glands), hypothyroidism, and death from thyroid failure was a common public health problem. Ask your great grandmother (if you could) about goiters and she would likely have been able to share many horror stories about people who were disfigured by goiters and who died of thyroid failure. This public health problem essentially disappeared when, in the U.S., the FDA asked salt manufacturers to add iodine to table salt. But then, years later, various government agencies advised Americans to cut back on salt--and guess what is now making a comeback? Yes: iodine deficiency, hypothyroidism from iodine deficiency, and even goiters. Don't let this happen to you. In this episode of Defiant Health Radio, I show you how to make certain that sufficient iodine is part of your life.

	The Loss of Empathy (and how you can bring it back)	01 Aug 2021	00:13:33
People of the 21st century have lost empathy, as well as experiencing more social isolation, divorce, and suicide than prior decades--but why? Psychologists talk about lack of community, the dissolution of traditional families, over-reliance on technology, all of which are undoubtedly important contributors. But could there be a physical factor that could contribute to these social phenomena? And, if so, can it be remedied? I talk about how modern humans have lost a crucial microbial species from our intestinal microbiomes that, when replaced, restores the hormone oxytocin, the hormone of love, empathy, social connection, and youthfulness.

	All You Need to Know About CT Heart Scans and Coronary Calcium Scores	19 Jul 2021	00:13:32
CT heart scans to generate a coronary calcium score is, by a long stretch, the best and most precise way to gauge risk for heart disease, certainly far better than virtually useless cholesterol values. Even though this technology dates back over 25 years, it is still plagued by misinformation, often used to twist people's arms into taking drugs like statins, and even used to exploit people by putting them unnecessary procedures. The reality is that a coronary calcium score can be the starting point for an enormous effective heart disease prevention program that does not involve conventional wastes-of-time such as reducing fat, tracking cholesterol, or taking statin drugs. Instead, let's focus on the natural methods that actually address the real causes of coronary disease, coronary calcium, and cardiovascular risk. By doing so, you can be far more knowledgeable than your doctor.

	Managing high blood pressure without drugs	20 Jun 2025	00:22:39
Conventional healthcare and dietary advice are, unfortunately, virtually useless in providing effective strategies on how to manage blood pressure naturally and nutritionally. They have, for instance, the DASH diet that can reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure by a few millimeters but not more. They provide bland advice like lose weight or move more. Yet there are effective strategies that you can adopt that powerfully reduce and typically normalize blood pressure. Such strategies may sound unconventional but are really efforts to restore your physiology to mimic that of populations who enjoy lifelong normal blood pressure. In this episode of the Defiant Health podcast, let’s discuss these strategies that can set you free from the tyranny of the healthcare system and their over-reliance on pharmaceuticals to control blood pressure.

	You don't have to be a (T2) diabetic	12 Jul 2021	00:15:14
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.

	The Mysterious Case of the Missing Microbes	07 Jul 2021	00:12:02
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.

	How Big Pharma Bought Big Media	03 Jul 2021	00:08:17
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.
