Defiant Health Radio with Dr. William Davis

What's the REAL story with fish oil?

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? Or are there adverse effects to expect, or greater benefits from other products? Let's cut through 30 years of imprecise thinking and get to the bottom of this question. 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 show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1795054/support] YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WilliamDavisMD [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 [https://www.amazon.com/Super-Gut-Four-Week-Reprogram-Microbiome/dp/0306846977/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=] Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health; revised & expanded ed [https://www.amazon.com/Wheat-Belly-Revised-Updated-Weight/dp/1984824945/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3DWKD3MDBADTN&keywords=wheat+belly+revised&qid=1669942130&s=books&sprefix=wheat+belly+revise%2Cstripbooks%2C78&sr=1-1]

What's better than probiotics?

Many people take probiotics in the hopes that it will help reduce gastrointestinal struggles with excessive gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation and other common complaints. Sometimes they help, sometimes they don’t. But why? Just what are probiotics and how are they created?  In this episode of the Defiant Health podcast, let’s discuss the ups and downs of commercial probiotics, why they are really little more than haphazard collections of microbes assembled without rhyme or reason. Then let’s discuss how you can do better than taking some random commercial probiotic off the shelf.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1795054/support] YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WilliamDavisMD [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 [https://www.amazon.com/Super-Gut-Four-Week-Reprogram-Microbiome/dp/0306846977/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=] Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health; revised & expanded ed [https://www.amazon.com/Wheat-Belly-Revised-Updated-Weight/dp/1984824945/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3DWKD3MDBADTN&keywords=wheat+belly+revised&qid=1669942130&s=books&sprefix=wheat+belly+revise%2Cstripbooks%2C78&sr=1-1]

Pushback against GLP-1 agonists

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.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1795054/support] YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WilliamDavisMD [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 [https://www.amazon.com/Super-Gut-Four-Week-Reprogram-Microbiome/dp/0306846977/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=] Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health; revised & expanded ed [https://www.amazon.com/Wheat-Belly-Revised-Updated-Weight/dp/1984824945/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3DWKD3MDBADTN&keywords=wheat+belly+revised&qid=1669942130&s=books&sprefix=wheat+belly+revise%2Cstripbooks%2C78&sr=1-1]

Why Weight Loss Can Be Harmful to Your Health

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.
