In this episode, Dr. William Davis delves into the fascinating world of L. Reuteri and its impact on skin health, gut and overall well-being. Learn about the potential benefits of this probiotic strain and its connection to gut health. Topics Covered : L. Reuteri and its Benefits: Loss in Modern Populations: Dr. William Davis highlights that Lactobacillus reuteri is largely absent in modern people due to antibiotic overuse, unlike in indigenous populations and wild mammals [ 01:16 ]. Initial Benefits: Restoration of L. reuteri can lead to youthful musculature, increased oxytocin (enhancing love and affection), improved libido, and better social behavior [ 02:07 ]. Skin Health: L. reuteri dramatically increases dermal collagen, reducing wrinkles [ 02:31 ]. A clinical trial with 25 women showed a 15% increase in dermal layer thickness using L. reuteri with marine collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid, and astaxanthin [ 03:33 ]. Participants experienced more moisture and reduced wrinkle depth [ 05:19 ]. Body Composition: The same trial unexpectedly showed significant waist circumference reduction, suggesting a targeting of abdominal fat and restoration of youthful muscle [ 05:31 ]. Comparison to GLP-1 Agonists: Dr. Davis contrasts the benefits of L. reuteri with the drawbacks of drugs like Wegovy, which can lead to muscle loss and worsened health upon cessation [ 06:30 ]. Strain Specifics: Dr. Davis mentions using a specific strain, L. reuteri LRDR, in his clinical trials, chosen for its effects in animals and humans [ 09:52 ]. Dosage: Emerging evidence suggests that dosage matters, with higher doses potentially yielding better results [ 11:33 ]. Mechanisms of Action: Endotoxemia Reduction: L. reuteri helps reduce endotoxemia (bacterial breakdown products in the bloodstream), which is linked to various health issues like increased blood glucose, abdominal fat, and inflammation [ 13:39 ]. Oxytocin and Cortisol: L. reuteri increases oxytocin, suppressing appetite, and reduces cortisol levels, which are linked to abdominal fat accumulation [ 16:54 ]. Other Beneficial Bacteria and Practices: Bacillus subtilis: Dr. Davis discusses using Bacillus subtilis to make sparkling juices, utilizing the DE111 strain for CO2 production [ 19:01 ]. Saccharomyces boulardii: Recommended for minimizing gastrointestinal microbiome disruption when taking antibiotics [ 20:51 ]. Lactobacillus crispatus: Crucial for female reproductive health, reducing miscarriage risk, premature delivery, and improving vaginal health [ 22:25 ]. It can be obtained through products like Gero Fem Dophilus Advanced or by making yogurt [ 24:38 ]. Prebiotics: Role: Prebiotics feed beneficial microbes, leading to the production of metabolites like butyric acid [ 27:38 ]. Butyric Acid: Improves sleep, lowers blood pressure and sugar, reduces inflammation, and acidifies the skin, discouraging pathogens [ 28:19 ]. Types: Inulin and fructooligosaccharides are widely metabolized, but other options include galactooligosaccharides, xylooligosaccharides, and polysaccharides [ 33:51 ]. Hyaluronic acid: It is a fiber sourced from animals that blooms butyric acid producing species [ 34:35 ] Wheat: Modern Wheat Issues: Dr. Davis reiterates the problems with modern high-yield semi-dwarf wheat, including glyphosate exposure [ 37:11 ]. Differences in Wheat: The type of gliadin protein in wheat varies, affecting gastrointestinal tolerance [ 40:01 ]. Harmful Components: Amylopectin A, wheat germ agglutinin, and phytates contribute to heart disease risk, gastrointestinal toxicity, and mineral binding, respectively [ 40:23 ]. Sourdough: Fermentation reduces some harmful components but doesn't eliminate them [ 43:12 ]. Microbiome Research: SIBO: Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth is common, and correcting it can be achieved by restoring lost microbes, especially those that colonize the small intestine [ 45:43 ]. Microbe Interactions: Microbes interact with each other, and understanding these interactions is crucial [ 51:10 ]. Future Directions: Oxytocin Release: Further research is needed to understand how L. reuteri causes oxytocin release and its potential to address social isolation and narcissistic behavior [ 52:48 ]. Shape and Body Composition: Focusing on targeting abdominal visceral fat and restoring muscle, rather than just weight loss [ 54:18 ]. Resources: Books: "Super Gut," "Wheat Belly" (revised and expanded), and cookbooks [ 55:53 ]. Website/Blog: WilliamDavisMD.com William Davis MD [ 49:40 ]. Membership website: The Inner Circle [ 49:54 ] One Thing for Gut Health Today: Include fermented foods like Bacillus subtilis sparkling juice or sauerkraut [ 56:51 ].   This video explores the potential of L. Reuteri for improving skin health and overall wellness by focusing on gut health. Dr. Davis provides insights into how this probiotic strain may contribute to a healthier you.

Those of you who follow my discussions that started with the Wheat Belly series of books already know that there is a long list of reasons why humans made an enormous blunder when we first resorted to the consumption of the seeds of grasses, meaning wheat and related grains. We know this from the anthropological record of human disease, we know this from modern science that has exposed the many problems that arise with their consumption from tooth decay to arthritis. But in my many conversations with people, I find that, because we are all bombarded with the opposite message from TV commercials, media reports, even doctors and dietitians, much of the rationale and science that tells us that wheat consumption is awful for health becomes diluted, or discounted, or ignored. My Wheat Belly arguments, for instance, have been dismissed as just another “gluten-free” message that has no bearing outside of celiac disease. Or that there are bad health consequences of banishing an entire category of food. Or that, if the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans tell us that grains must be a part of the human diet, it must therefore be true. Of course, this is all not true: misinterpretations, misrepresentations, sometimes outright lies, all to prop up continued consumption of a class of “foods” that accelerate disease, aging, and should have no place in the diet of humans. So for this reason, I am going to be guilty of repeating myself and once again reiterating why the arguments against the inclusion of wheat and grains are overwhelming, the health impact of their consumption shockingly awful, and the health benefits of their abandonment huge and life-changing. _______________________________________________________________________________For BiotiQuest probiotics including Sugar Shift, go here.A 15% discount is available for Defiant Health podcast listeners by entering discount code UNDOC15 (case-sensitive) at checkout.*_________________________________________________________________________________Get your 15% Paleovalley discount on fermented grass-fed beef sticks, Bone Broth Collagen, low-carb snack bars and other high-quality organic foods here.* For 12% off every order of grass-fed and pasture-raised meats from Wild Pastures, go here._______________________________________MyReuteri and Gut to Glow can be found here: oxiceutics.comSupport the showBooks: 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

Can hormones be balanced by the microbiome? Can UTIs, STDs, and postpartum depression be reduced by good bacteria? The human body is a complex ecosystem, housing trillions of microscopic organisms, including thousands of species of bacteria, viruses, and even parasites. Each of these organisms plays a crucial role in our bodily functions. If the health of the microbiome suffers, so do we. Dr. William Davis, author of No. 1 New York Times bestseller “Wheat Belly,” reveals how modern lifestyle factors, such as taking antibiotics and being exposed to herbicides, are altering the microbiome and undermining women's health from birth through adulthood. “Young women of childbearing age have been exposed to all the disruptive factors we're all exposed to,” says Davis. What's more, females pass on bacteria and other elements of the microbiome to their offspring, influencing the health of the next generation. “The best she can do is give that child a disrupted microbiome because she herself has been disrupted.” Davis is a board-certified cardiologist. Seeing major health improvement in heart patients who made basic diet changes prompted his focus on gut health and the microbiome. A 2024 study published in Nature points to the risks of a disrupted microbiome: The offspring of microbiome-disrupted male mice had higher rates of low birth weight, severe growth restriction, and premature mortality. “There's no question that the disrupted microbiome is playing a big role ... through every phase of childhood ... and, of course, into adulthood,” says Davis. How can it be repaired? Davis joins Vital Signs with Brendon Fallon to discuss critical elements of the microbiome unique to females and how to improve its health. Tune in to discover simple, actionable steps to restore gut function, improve reproductive health, and support overall well-being. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

Despite having written 7 books in the Wheat Belly series pointing out the harms that this “food” has inflicted on people, harms that doctors nearly always misdiagnose as an opportunity to “treat” with pharmaceuticals and procedures, questions and ideas to the contrary continue to crop up. Some of these ideas are simply due to the barrage of advertising that comes from Big Food and Big Agribusiness, industries that continue to make a lot of money by propagating fictitious claims that grains are healthy. Some of it is due to the continued repeated urgings by the U.S. government, insisting that grains should remain a staple of the American diet. Dietitians stick to their argument that all foods fit into a healthy diet, including sugary soft drinks, candy bars, and grains, provided it's all consumed “in moderation” and in the context  of a “balanced diet.” And sometimes it's just that some people are looking for novelty, the newest and shiniest thing to titillate their dietary habits. And make no mistake: the grain industry is extremely well funded, keeping many dietitians, nutritionists, publicists, etc. on the payroll to repeat the same misconceptions over and over again: “There is no evidence that wheat is bad for you, with the caveat that you eat the right amounts as recommended.”So let me dispel common myths and misconceptions that continue to swirl and threaten to derail you off the path of health and slenderness. (As in my books, my use of the term “wheat” encapsulates all forms of grains, as they share numerous characteristics.)So, in this episode of the Defiant Health podcast, let's take apart some of these commonly held myths and misconceptions surrounding wheat and grains to protect you from the flood of misinformation and disinformation. Support the Show.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

The gut microbiomes of many if not most modern people have been devastated by highly processed diets, biocides and overuse of antibiotics, which has destroyed countless beneficial bacteria required for optimal health. The impacts are many, upon our mental health, moods, weight and behavior. Our guest in this show, Dr. William Davis, Cardiologist and Author of the books Wheat Belly, Undoctored, and Super Gut [https://drdavisinfinitehealth.com/about/], exposes the problem with our wheat addiction and has connected the dots between gut health and common modern ailments and complaints. The ancient bacteria that keep our digestion highly functional have been dying, and replaced by harmful microbes that negatively impact our physical and mental wellness. Supergut draws on cutting edge research, to connect the dots between gut health and modern ailments including SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, a silent and profound epidemic affecting 1 out of 3 people. Entire species of microbes have disappeared creating numerous health conditions that were uncommon 50-100 years ago. Digestive disorders, Parkinson's, autism, ADD, ADHD, and neurodegenerative conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer's are more prevalent than ever before. Super Gut shows us how to eliminate bad bacteria and restore “good” bacteria and reprogram our microbiome. By addressing the root cause of gut flora disruption, we can improve health. Disease factors can be lessened or eliminated, and oxytocin levels can improve. Moreover, brain health, anti-aging, weight loss, mental clarity, and restful sleep can all be results of a healthy microbiome. In this episode, Dr. Davis will share how a restored microbiome is the key to lasting inner and outer health.

Those who deal with gut issues, health issues, and certain diseases might be missing something when it comes to their health. For years the food industry has told us to eat wheat and grains, but that has been making people sicker. Dr. William Davis, the author of Wheat Belly, joins the show to talk about how certain strains of wheat are wreaking havoc on our health. Dr. Davis then dives into his newer method of healing the gut and restoring balance back to the system. He uses certain strains of bacteria to build back a strong gut microbiome, with using the strand he has also seen improvement in other areas, from skin quality improvement to increasing muscle mass. -We talk about his book Wheat Belly and how he came to treat disease differently than other doctors and found that wheat and wheat germ agglutinin. Which is a non-gluten glycoprotein or lectin (combination of sugar and protein) in wheat called wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) found in highest concentrations in whole wheat increases whole body inflammation. -We then discuss how to heal the gut from a prospective of homemade yogurt with certain strains of bacteria that help heal the microbiomee   Visit https://drdavisinfinitehealth.com/ to learn more about Dr. William Davis and his work.     Looking for Personal Fitness Coaching?

Good bacteria counter colon cancer, colitis, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). What's the best way to get it? Indigenous hunter-gatherer populations in New Guinea, Kenya, and other parts of Central Africa have certain protective gut microbes that we've lost, says author of “Super Gut” Dr. William Davis. “Their health includes virtually no stomach ulcers, acid reflux, hemorrhoids ... [and other] diseases of civilization,” he adds. Twenty-five years into being a cardiologist, Dr. William Davis's attention switched sharply to gut health when he saw the dramatic results of the simple diet changes he writes about in “Wheat Belly.” But beyond diet change, “eating more fiber,” and commercial probiotics, Dr. Davis emphasizes replacing the good gut bacteria that we've lost to improve gut and overall body health. Lactobacillus reuteri is one of the good bacteria species that can be restored through a yogurt-like preparation he has developed. The bacteria colonizes the small intestine to produce bacteriocins, which are a kind of body-made antibiotic to fend off infection, says Dr. Davis. “It also ... colonizes the colon, where it has been shown to have potent anti-cancer effects,” he adds. Author of best-seller “Wheat Belly,” Dr. Davis joins Vital Signs with Brendon Fallon to reveal how gut health can be fundamentally improved, and how that improvement can be measured. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

How do wheats, grains, and sugars affect cholesterol levels? How is the wheat we eat today different from what it was just 60–70 years ago? After 25 years as a cardiologist, Dr. William Davis's attention switched sharply to gut health when he saw the dramatic results that simple dietary changes brought to his heart patients. Cutting out foods that specifically spark the creation of small low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol particles is pivotal, he says. Small LDL particles are “much more prone to oxidation, glycation; much more adherent to walls of arteries; much more likely to instigate inflammation.” “Small LDL is the driving cause of heart disease,” he says. Which foods most lead the body to produce small LDL cholesterol particles? What dietary and other measures can restore health to the microbiome? Poor diet is just one factor that has disrupted the colonies of bacteria and other microorganisms both on and within our bodies, known as our microbiome. Other factors include medications, such as antibiotics and stomach acid-blocking drugs, says Dr. Davis. The impact of this on health spans everything from depression and Alzheimer's disease to weight gain and diabetes.

“If a food is free from something, then it must be healthy, right?” Dr. Brett Carver, a wheat breeder and researcher at Oklahoma State University for nearly 40 years, has found himself spending more time defending the plant to which he's devoted his career in recent years. “A huge chunk of our population, based on easy-to-find survey data, makes dietary choices AWAY from gluten (wheat). That's about 9-12% of us, and millennials and Gen Z's lead the way. About 1 in 5 persons will reduce or eliminate gluten from their diet because they believe this to be a healthier option,” says Carver. But is this trend warranted?  For those who are diagnosed with Celiac disease, avoidance of gluten, the protein found in wheat, is a non-negotiable.  But for those of us without Celiac or non-Celiac wheat sensitivities, following a gluten-free (and therefore wheat-free) diet is likely unnecessary.   Getting to the “heart of the kernel,” Dr. Carver shares insights on why what doesn't easily undergo genetic engineering (reminde: there are no GMO wheat varieties), how wheat has and hasn't changed over the last century, and the role of FODMAPS in his work. According to Dr. Brett Carver, one of the major misconceptions around wheat is related to its origin. Many people make assumptions about the healthiness or unhealthiness of wheat based on where they think it comes from. Another misconception revolves around the changes that have occurred in wheat over the last century. Dr. Carver mentions that wheat breeding has been ongoing since the 1920s, and there is a need to understand the advancements and improvements that have been made in wheat varieties.  There is no GMO wheat in the U.S. market. Carver mentioned that wheat does not easily undergo genetic modification (GMO) due to its biology. However, he mentioned that the science of gene editing is highly developed and may become a prominent technique in wheat breeding.  Brett also outlined how DNA sequencing has revolutionized wheat breeding. With the ability to select based on DNA sequence, breeders can now make more accurate and efficient selections for desired traits, such as disease resistance or gluten quality. This advancement allows breeders to bypass the need for certain traits to be physically present and instead select based on the DNA sequence itself. This has greatly accelerated breeding progress and has the potential to improve wheat varieties in terms of both quality and disease resistance. There is a misconception that gluten in wheat has changed over the last century. He mentioned that the composition and protein of wheat have not significantly changed. Claims made in books like "Wheat Belly" about the varieties being produced and the food derived from them are not accurate. Dr. Carver conducted his own research to counter these claims and found that the perception of wheat has changed, but the reality is that wheat breeding programs have been focused on developing varieties that meet consumer demands.  The exact cause of non-celiac wheat sensitivity is still being researched and is not fully understood. However, Dr. Brett Carver mentioned a few factors that could potentially contribute to this sensitivity. One possibility is sensitivity to gluten itself, specifically the gluten that naturally occurs in wheat varieties. Another factor that Carver mentioned is the presence of certain carbohydrates called FODMAPs (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols) in wheat, which can trigger symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in some individuals. Additionally, there are proteins called amylase trypsin inhibitors (ATIs) found in wheat that have been associated with sensitivity. Further research is needed to fully understand the causes and mechanisms behind non-celiac wheat sensitivity. He wants dietitians to know he's working on a variety of those projects.

William Davis, MD provides solutions to health problems by addressing the microbiome, massively disrupted in modern people. He shows readers in his new Super Gut book, for instance, how to restore important lost microbes lost such as Lactobacillus reuteri, restored by using a unique method of yogurt fermentation that smooths skin and reduces wrinkles, restores youthful muscle and strength, deepens sleep, reduces appetite and provides many other youth-preserving and anti-aging effects. In Super Gut and in his website, DrDavisInfiniteHealth.com, he provides additional do-it-yourself-at-home strategies for benefits such as improved mood, improved athletic performance, better sleep, heightened immunity, and improved body composition. Dr. Davis is also responsible for exposing the incredible nutritional blunder made by "official" health agencies: Eat more "healthy whole grains." The wheat of today is different from the wheat of 1960, thanks to extensive genetics manipulations introduced to increase yield-per-acre. Eliminating wheat yields results beyond everyone's expectations: substantial weight loss, correction of cholesterol abnormalities, relief from inflammatory diseases like arthritis, better mood, reduced blood sugar with many type 2 diabetics being freed of insulin and other drugs, all articulated through his Wheat Belly series of books. He is also a champion of individual self-directed health, as discussed in his Undoctored book. For more information: DrDavisInfiniteHealth

Jump to the FULL Episode Show Notes here:https://healthmysteriessolved.com/161-hashimotos-connection-to-dry-saggy-wrinkly-skin-and-how-to-reverse-itBefore we review Alicia's case and introduce you to our guest expert, I know some of you have come here looking for the link to the Gut To Glow!  Here is the link: https://completenutritionandwellness.com/shop/gut-to-glow.html Be sure to use promo code GLOW to save 10% The Case: Alicia has Hashimoto's and Hypothyroidism.She's experiencing fatigue, bloating, and skin issues (dry, irritated, saggy, and wrinkly skin)She tried changing her diet based on her doctor's recommendation, but the bloating persistedShe'd tried countless lotions and potions for her skin but nothing workedI met Alicia inside my Thyroid Mystery Solved program and wasn't surprised to hear the topical treatments for her skin weren't working. Believe it or not, her bloating was my first clue as to why. The Investigation - The Gut, Skin, Thyroid Connection Most people who experience dry skin reach for the lotion. When it doesn't work, they reach for more expensive lotion. They don't realize that it's all connected to their thyroid as well as their gut especially with Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism. So, when I heard about Alicia's issues with bloating and her skin, I knew we needed to dig more into her thyroid type and also explore what is happening in her gut. This is something that Dr. William Davis has been researching for some time. You may recognize the name from his best-selling books Wheat Belly and Super Gut. He was also on the show a little while ago talking about how to improve digestion and slow down the aging process. It's episode 112 if you want to give it a listen. We are further exploring the role that our microbiome plays in skin radiance and optimal thyroid function. The Microbiome: Our Internal Powerhouse Our conversation was quite in-depth but the first thing you need to understand is that your gut is bustling with trillions of microbes. These diverse inhabitants aren't just passive bystanders; they actively influence our well-being in numerous ways, including digestion, immunity, and, as Dr. Davis highlights, our skin and thyroid health. Recent research sheds light on this fascinating connection, revealing how specific bacterial strains within our gut microbiome can significantly impact the health and appearance of our skin and the function of our thyroid gland. Dr. Davis explains that there is a good chance it's a result of SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) which is estimated to affect at least half the population, and it's particularly common in individuals with autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto's. The presence of these "bad" bacteria in the small intestine, where nutrient absorption occurs, can lead to inflammation, dryness, redness, and even rashes. Conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, rosacea, and psoriasis can all be linked to imbalanced gut flora.Restoring Balance: The Power of Lactobacillus ReuteriSo, what can we do to address this gut-skin connection and have the radiant skin we want? Dr. Davis emphasizes the importance of restoring a specific microbe we've all lost –  Lactobacillus Reuteri. This unique probiotic strain (almost impossible to find in most people today) has the remarkable ability to colonize the entire GI tract, including the small intestine.Unlike other probiotics that mainly reach the colon, Reuteri takes up residence throughout the gut, producing natural antibiotics called bacteriocins that fight off the harmful fecal microbes. This reduction in "bad" bacteria lowers the toxic burden in the bloodstream, leading to noticeable improvements in skin health.But the benefits of Reuteri go even further. It communicates with the brain via the vagus nerve, triggering the release of oxytocin, the "love hormone" known for its positive effects on skin health, body shape, and overall well-being. Oxytocin stimulates the production of dermal collagen, leading to plumper, smoother skin.Is SIBO Causing Dry, Wrinkly Skin?Dr. Davis highlights the complex interplay between various lifestyle choices and underlying health conditions. While the exact cause of SIBO remains unclear, Dr. Davis suggests some potential causes.Potential Culprits Behind SIBO:Stomach Acid Blockers: These medications, often used for heartburn, can weaken the barrier against harmful microbes, allowing them to migrate from the colon and mouth into the small intestine.Antibiotic and Glyphosate Exposure: Excessive use of antibiotics and exposure to herbicides like glyphosate can disrupt the delicate balance of gut bacteria, favoring the growth of "bad" microbes.Hypothyroidism: Reduced thyroid function (low T3) can lead to sluggish gut motility, creating an environment conducive to SIBO overgrowth.Food Additives: Certain preservatives and emulsifiers commonly found in processed foods can have antibacterial properties, further disrupting the gut microbiome.Recognizing the Signs of SIBOIf these potential culprits are ringing a few bells for you and you're feeling like you might be susceptible to SIBO, Dr. Davis shares some signs that you may have SIBO.Potential signs of SIBO:Fat Malabsorption: Oily stools or floating poops indicate undigested fat, a potential sign of SIBO interfering with fat digestion.Food Intolerances: Sensitivities to nightshades, legumes, FODMAPs, or histamine-containing foods can be linked to SIBO's disruption of the digestive process.Associated Conditions: Fibromyalgia, IBS, inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune conditions, neurodegenerative disorders, and even obesity are highly associated with SIBO and endotoxemia.Dr. Davis paints a startling picture, suggesting that SIBO and its associated endotoxemia might be the underlying cause of many modern chronic diseases. He cites studies showing a significant portion of individuals with conditions like obesity, IBS, and autoimmune diseases testing positive for SIBO. These numbers paint a grim picture, highlighting the potential vastness of this largely unrecognized epidemic.The Systemic Impact of EndotoxemiaIt's important that we also talk about endotoxemia because it impacts so much more than just the gut. Endotoxemia happens when microbes in the small intestine die, releasing toxins called lipopolysaccharides (LPS) into the bloodstream. These toxins have a domino effect, impacting various organs and systems throughout the body.Dr. Davis paints a stark picture, emphasizing that no organ is immune to the effects of endotoxemia. From skin health and brain function to thyroid regulation and heart health, this systemic inflammation can contribute to a myriad of chronic conditions. While conventional medications might address symptoms, they often fail to address the underlying root cause – SIBO and its associated endotoxemia.

You can't just assume they know best. You know your body best so you have got to advocate for yourself. And then you have to ask them. Can you explain why this is happening? Well, can you explain why we're doing this? Can you answer this? They have, when they're in the room with you, they cannot leave until you're done. If they say do you have any questions, and you ask questions, they can't walk away from you.Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It Interview Recap where my co-host in life Brad and I are going to dig into the solution-driven convo I have with L Ross in our last episode. If you haven't yet. Listen to that one. Feel free to pause this now. Go back and listen. And then come back and join us here. The thing about LRS you guys I can never I can barely keep her under an hour. She is going to teach you everything she knows about the topic. This has me fired up about it. (She is a strong) if not solution-driven, she is passionate. Brad Crowell 2:02  Oh yeah. And at one point she was close to tears. Lesley Logan 2:07  I know. Brad Crowell 2:07  Talking about her clients.Lesley Logan 2:09  I know. I know. So if you haven't listened to our first episode on confidence, you should go listen that it's full of honesty. And then this one was on thyroid because those are actually the two topics that she coaches on. And she's helped a lot of people in both places.Brad Crowell 2:22  Yes, she interestingly enough, wrote a book about uninformed doctors. Yeah, that is very famous. Yeah. So huge. Yeah.Lesley Logan 2:29  Before we get into that, yeah, todayBrad Crowell 2:33  Is Thursday, August 24. Lesley Logan 2:39  Is it a special holiday?Brad Crowell 2:41  Oh, it might be.It is Thursday, August 24. Lesley Logan 2:51  Let's see what the first thing is to come out.Brad Crowell 2:53  All right. The 24th. Let's go to the 24th. We're looking at International Strange Music Day or hold on my computer.Lesley Logan 3:04  Kobe Bryant Day. He died on my Brad Crowell 3:07  National Cuban Sandwich Day. It's National Coconut Week.Lesley Logan 3:13  A whole week for coconuts?A whole week for coconuts. Oh my god today was the day Pluto was demoted. Brad Crowell 3:19  Demoted? Oh, it's no longer a planet.Lesley Logan 3:21  Yeah, but you know what? In astrology that's not true. So I think the scientists got it wrong.Brad Crowell 3:27  National Ride the Wind Day.Lesley Logan 3:29  And then shout out because it is Ukrainian Independence Day. And at this time, they're still fighting for it. So anyways, wow.Brad Crowell 3:37  It's also International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition. (Oh, wow.) I think is a pretty important one. Lesley Logan 3:43  I think that's an important one. Where are you seeing that? That's not on mine. Brad Crowell 3:46  August 24. Nationaltoday.com y'all. (I'm looking at it.) in case you're wondering.Lesley Logan 3:52  I just didn't see that one. Well, I'm glad we brought it up. That's great. So we had a lot of holidays. Say today it's a big day in the whole world. It's a big, we didn't even talk about how it's National Danny day, which is like, so strange. So it's a day for Danny. You tell us which day you're celebrating today. We'd love to hear it. Also, we just got back from our West Coast tour.Brad Crowell 4:14  Holy cow. What a ride.Lesley Logan 4:16  Oh my god, bigger than honestly, like bigger than ever bigger than anything.Brad Crowell 4:23  3000 miles, 12 cities 20,000 miles,No just over 3. Twelve cities, 22 orLesley Logan 4:33  24 classes and workshopsBrad Crowell 4:35  Yeah. Classes and workshops.Lesley Logan 4:36  And hundreds of people, hundreds of hundreds of peopleBrad Crowell 4:41  Tons of decks. Lots of dogs. Lesley Logan 4:43  Big thanks to our big headlining sponsor Balanced Body. We could not have made this tour as big without you. You probably saw our tour van if you are living in the state of California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah, and you saw what looks like the funnest van in the world. Hi, that was us.Brad Crowell 5:02  Yeah. And if you're wondering what we're talking about, just go to Leslie's Instagram account at Lesley.Logan, you'll see lots of pictures and video of it.Lesley Logan 5:11  Yeah. So we're back. Brad Crowell 5:12  It was, it was awesome.Lesley Logan 5:13  I'm so excited. We were already in our bed, we sleep in the van, it's our bed, but we have a different bed at home. It's bigger. And I'm so excited for that. I'm also like, I do cold showers in the morning when I'm at home, and I could not do them on the tour. So I'm just grateful for my cold showers to wake me up and the wonderful normal dog walks that we do. It's just kind of nice when you know all the areas that you're doing.Brad Crowell 5:35  Good to be on a routine. Yeah, but we love the tour. We'll be back out on tour soon. In fact, I'm actually leaving in a few days to go to Poland, the ControlLogix Conference in Poland. (That's right.) So that's really exciting. And then when I come back from that we're actually doing Agency Mini number nine, which is our coaching group's seven-day program, you can actually sign up for it right now at profitablepilates.com/mini. That's profitable pilates dot com slash M-I-N-I. This is like a not to miss you guys. We only run it twice a year, we are tempted to only run it once a year. We don't know when that's going to happen. But I'm threatening you because it's something that's on our mind. We'd like to be transparent. I like to be honest. (Yeah) it is the last time we're running it this year. We probably won't run it again until February I think?February, March. It's not really figured out yet. So roughly six months. Lesley Logan 6:22  Um, so you want to do that if you are wanting to get any questions answered on your business around your service based business, whether you're running online or brick and mortar, y'all we help people make the money that they want to make. And it doesn't, it's not like we're all about whatever, like just making millions of dollars, we help you make the money you want to make. And one of the my favorite things I got a DM from our agency members been with us for years, she sent me a DM after biome was set. And she just said, I just wanted to reach out to you because I know you went through a lot, I want to let you know that it's because of you that I can provide for my family. I can take vacations when I want to take them with my family. And I can do that without worrying about my business. And I'm making the money I want to make. So that's because she did a mini and she trusted us about this for years. And she's wanted to have a home studio that would allow her to provide for her family and not work when they were off. So we did that for her, which is amazing. Okay, then well.Brad Crowell 7:16  And here's the deal. Lesley Logan 7:18  What's the deal? Brad Crowell 7:19  The deal is that this one is going to be one of our coolest ones yet. Each time we make an extra time we run mini we have a recap afterwards. And we just figure out like, how can we make it even better? And this time, we're doing some really cool stuff. And so actually, you can literally sign up today. So yeah, do go to profitablepilates.com/miniLesley Logan 7:43  Yeah. And then, after mini is over, we hang out with our new members and our old members, and we have a lot of fun. And then we go to Cambodia. Yeah. And this is so excited. We're going to be Cambodia for a while, because we have our retreat. And then we have someone renting out our space to rent their retreat. So yeah, that is the coolest.Brad Crowell 8:03  Yeah. So you know, the dream when we decided to get our own place, you know, there in 2018. Geez, was that someday, it would just be a full-time retreat space. And obviously, we're not taking retreats every week. But we could open that place up and offer our program and let other people fill in the blanks with their teaching. And we're doing that finally. So this is a dream come true for us. We've been talking about this for a very long time. And basically, I'm just excited that it's beginning. If you've ever wanted to run a retreat, and you're trying to figure out where and how and all the logistics and all the complications. That's exactly what we figured out. So just reach out to us and we can have a conversation, maybe we can figure out how you could take your group to an amazing place that is fun, safe, beautiful. Just like it's a bucket list for everyone that I've ever talked to everyone goes holy cow, I'd love to go there. And you know, that's why we picked that spot. So yeah, anyway, if you're in Southeast Asia, it's like a month away at this point, or I guess it's the end of August. So you know, we're going the beginning of October for our group. And you know, you could still join us, there's still some room. Otherwise, get yourself on the waitlist. And we'll tell you about next year's retreat.Lesley Logan 9:23  Yeah. And then, and then we come back and then I go to Chicago and I'm teaching at a club place in Chicago with a request at this point (that's in November) it's in November at this point, you just have to DME if that's what you're interested in, because we don't actually have anything up at the time of this is dropping, but it will be spaced that's limited because we can only have so many people per workshop. It's my first time teaching Chicago in a year, but also my first time teaching in a Chicago studio. Not on a conference in like five years. So excited. And then December go on the winter tour. So everything we just did. We're doing it again in the winter and because Balanced Body is our sponsor, you can best believe it's going to be fucking huge.Brad Crowell 10:04  Yeah, it's gonna be a little more spread out just because it's like probably five to 6000 miles instead of three. And, you know, we're going to be doing the loop as y'all know. So, anyway.Lesley Logan 10:17  And actually, because our audience question has to do with the winter tour, we can just dive into it. Brad Crowell 10:22  Yeah, let's just do that. Lesley Logan 10:23  I have been getting a ton of DMS. And really this question is because I don't know how to answer it. So the questions I've been getting is people putting in the DMS their city, and then asking how to get their city on the winter tour on a tour. And so we have lots of people in Florida, which y'all you have to understand what that means. You're asking us to do, you're asking us to go from Philly and drive into Florida and do you know how long Florida is so long? We've done it before. But I'm not saying we won't do it. I'm just saying it's a lot. And so where what should people do, babe? If they want their city on a tour? Well, I say the winter tour because like if you could be on the winter tour, but you could be on next year summer tour. So like, where should people like submit their city for a tour? Stop?Brad Crowell 11:12  Yeah, I just wanted to say it's a 17-hour drive from Philly to Miami. Lesley Logan 11:17  Yeah, we've done it. I remember I experienced it. Brad Crowell 11:20  So here's, here's what you do. We have an amazing team, who has figured out a whole conversation that has been repeated a few times here. So if you're interested in being a host, you could be in Canada, you could be in United States, we're figuring out these roads, you know what this could look like in the future? Hell, maybe even Mexico? I don't know.Lesley Logan 11:41  Oh, my God. Well, I might be talking about that. Yes, I would love Brad Crowell 11:45  Anyway, if you have a studio and you're interested in hosting, just chat to us go to opc.me/chat. And we will start the conversation with you and figure out you know, what makes sense when it might not be now it could be next year? It could be you know, whatever. I don't know, we haven't figured it out yet. But we are just taking note, if you want us to stop by.Lesley Logan 12:06  You should do it now because we actually are going to pick our winter tour cities in September. Because we have because we'll be in Cambodia in October. So put those in and and also just know that like you will be the host and you'll be promoting it and we will be helping you. So as much as we want to come to your space. If you also don't like to fill things then maybe submit someone else's space that you'll go to. I'm just being honest. But we're so it's just gonna be a ton of fun. It's gonna be amazing.Brad Crowell 13:00  Okay, now let's talk about Elle Russ. Bestselling author and renowned authority in thyroid health who's transformed her personal health struggles into a decade-long mission to support and educate others around the world. We are so excited to have brought Elle Russ back to the pod to talk about thyroid health, something that she's incredibly passionate about. Lesley Logan 14:31  Yeah, she is and I when she and I first invited her on the podcast, I thought we could talk about both competence and thyroid health but no, we could not. And so I'm glad we did two separate episodes. And I am I'm actually having a lot of fun because at this point in Episode 254 We keep bringing different people back because there's like more conversations to have with some of those people and I just I love it because I can get deeper into it. Anyways, that was just side by side story. Okay, I actually really loved that she wrote about how thyroid issues are fixable and solvable because I I have met many people on my journey in life. And I even had a doctor who was worried about my thyroid, and they made it seem like that was not a death sentence that's so dramatic, but like, it's a period. Done. It's like a statue.Brad Crowell 15:14  It's like congratulations, you have it. And now you have to deal with it forever. Yeah. And I really loved that she has been on this mission. And she talked about that it's achievable for every single person's thyroid problem to like, solve this issue. And I think that's really amazing. I wish more doctors knew about that. And she said that there's two reasons you might be suffering. You're either dealing with an uninformed doctor Who doesn't know how to test that yet, or you're uninformed, and you don't know about your disease. And I think like, both of those can come off really strong. But what I what I do know even as a Pilates teacher who teaches Pilates like off like, just even though I'm just teaching Pilates, like there are uninformed teachers out there, and there are people who are uninformed about the movement and capabilities of our bodies, it's the same thing in this situation. And so what we have tried to do on this podcast is bring different people on who talk and advocate about, they promote how you should advocate for yourself. And I think part of being it till we see it is not just like, pushing and procrastinating our health issues, because they keep it keep us from showing up as our best versions of ourselves, and also advocating for a doctor who listens to us. And that those two things, you could actually have both of these things, you could be uninformed and be with the doctors uninformed.Lesley Logan 16:29  Yeah, I wanted to I had another comment. You know, I grew up with a dog who had thyroid problems, and I we need to give him medicine for like, every day for the rest of his life.Brad Crowell 16:40  From the age of six I just thought that like, once you had a thyroid problem, you were you always had a thyroid problem. That was it. And then my mom. She always had like low iron and stuff. And then later in life, she has hypo and hyperthyroidism. Lesley Logan 17:26  She has both?Brad Crowell 17:26  She has both.Lesley Logan 17:29  How's that even possible? That's so crazy.Brad Crowell 17:31  I couldn't tell you, I don't really understand it. And I think that's exactly the problem, right? And from my perspective, then my mom is just going to have something she's gonna have to deal with this for the rest of her life. And so it's kind of amazing that, you know, she's suggesting that you can, these are solvable problems.Lesley Logan 17:48  Yeah. And I obviously like if you don't have a thyroid anymore, of course, you have something to deal with rest of your life. But if you have one, yeah, it can be surgically removed. And if you have one and you are struggling to keep things the way that makes you feel like the best version of yourself. What we are suggesting is that you go and get second opinions, get some help find people who are specialists in this who actually believe that there's another possibility. And I think that's really important. Like we didn't talk about this on Elle Russ podcast, but I remember many, many years ago, I was going through my own health stuff, listen to a couple different doctors. One was like the Plant Paradox. He wrote this book. He's a doctor, and he used food to heal people's heart conditions and things like that. And then the other one is Undoctored. And he wrote, I think he wrote brain, brain, brain, brain, brain brain. Anyways, probably green brain. And he also wrote the book Undoctored and he is a doctor who is like, key actually, the way I understand his story was a he was diagnosed with diabetes. And he's like, that's so crazy. I'm like, eating what the medical school taught me it was like nutrition, and there are 15 hours of nutrition that they taught me. And he had diabetes. And so he actually did some work. And he reversed his diabetes diagnosis, and the doctor's response was, oh, maybe it was a misdiagnosis. The doctor wasn't curious as to how he did it. And so you know.Brad Crowell 19:13  I think he wrote Wheat Belly.Lesley Logan 19:15  Wheat Belly. Sure. Super close. Great. Brad Crowell 19:18  Super Gut. Wheat Belly. Undoctored.Lesley Logan 19:20  Yes, yes. Brad Crowell 19:21  Rich food. Poor food. Lesley Logan 19:23  Yes. Brad Crowell 19:23  Nice. Lesley Logan 19:23  So he, what is interesting about that situation is there in life people, there's every person and there are people in every profession who just like this is that this is the way things are, that's how it goes. And then there are people who are like, hold on, why is it like that. And there's curiosity. And then I like to teach the people who study with me is like to be curious, and I want to be with doctors who are curious. Brad Crowell 19:47  Yeah, I like I had mixed emotions listening to this. You know, because I guess culturally and just in my own life we've been raised to trust our doctors, the doctor says a thing than we do the thing, you know. However, having gone through college with a guy who was studying medicine, and just kind of seeing it from that perspective, it made me realize that it's it's a, it's sometimes a process of elimination. It's sometimes, like, it's almost like its own art form. But you have to be incredibly informed, to be able to, you know, diagnose and certain people focus on different things, right? So there's just so fucking much that a doctor could learn about that if you go to someone who didn't really dig into whatever it is that you need to talk to them about. They may not be the correct person. And so they might just not know. Right? And I think that when you look at it, that way, you'll go find a doctor who specializes in the thing, so that you can talk to someone who is the most informed about it.Lesley Logan 21:03  And I just want to say this other thing, because I know that it can sound like I get a little harsh about doctors and, and also compelling elegance, little harsh about doctors. Yeah, I just heard an incredible podcast on New York Times, it was a Sunday read podcast, and it was about like dirty jobs. And like, as they call it, dirty jobs. Anyways, it was about, somebody had a segment where they would like talk about these, like, dangerous jobs that like, people were dying to do them. And somebody was, and he was doing, like, obviously, coal miners, and like, all these different things that like, probably most evil listeners would not sign up for. And someone reached out and said, hey, I know this is gonna sound crazy, but you should probably do a whole thing on doctors. And the author was like, Are you kidding? Who cares about them? They make a ton of money. They're like, they're, like, all the stuff that he's like, No, I think that if you do some research, you're gonna find this out. And the reality is, is that because of the way our especially in the US, so this is, if you're a listener in a different country, you might have a whole different experience when it comes to thyroid and medical stuff. And I would love to hear about that. But especially in the US, because hospitals are for profit, because insurance is for profit, and everybody is going over the bottom line. Doctors don't get the kid's been seven minutes with you. So it's not even that they're uninformed. Yeah, they might be just purely have no time. And then there's, they have all this pressure of going to hospital to do certain things in certain amounts of time. And everybody is stressed out. And really what's happened in the medical industry is like, actually, a lot of doctors have high suicide rate. Yeah, a lot of them have really high amounts of depression, which, you know, you would not think about these things. So listen to that podcast, because it gave me a little bit more of a perspective, like, holy fuck, they might be doing the best they can. And it's never going to be good enough, because the actual system doesn't allow them to have the time for it to be good enough. So a lot of doctors switch into taking no insurance and being paid cash. Yeah. But that's even exhausting, because you have to find people who can afford that. So it's just like, that's, that's if that make you feel happy. So, you know, I think it's like, we're in this system, where everybody is at a thing. And I just want to remind you, it is called a medical practice. And I think that even the medical world has forgotten that. It is a medical practice they're a doctor practicing medicine, just like you practice Pilates, no one is ever going, like, I just want to put that word finished. They're not finished. SoBrad Crowell 23:34  And they shouldn't be finished. I think that I think that's one of the things that, that, you know, bringing this back to Elle, you know, she was talking about curiosity, and you just mentioned finding a doctor who is constantly staying informed, you know, because of a lack of time, because of the situations that they're in. You know, there's, it's really important that you and, you know, you and your doctor are both really digging into your specific, you know, what is happening in your body. And I think, you know, like, like, you know, just one more comment on this. And I think we can move on. From my perspective, having been around you, Lesley, and seeing the amazing I am, yes, the amazingness that you are and your beautiful hair. When you went to see some of the best doctors in the UCLA system. And they were like, I don't fucking know what's wrong with you. That was shocking to me. Like, what do you mean, you don't know what's wrong with her? How is that even possible? And they're like, maybe you have AIDS, and they sent you to a fucking weird ward. I mean, it was crazy. And you know what that doctor said to me? Why are you here? Lesley Logan 24:41  She asked me, she said, I have two questions for you. Do you know why your doctor sent you here? And are you happy with that service? She she had a moment where she is a human being and she was like, I don't know why this patient is here and she asked me to stay which is so crazy to me. And I said, I'm not happy with my service. I don't know why I'm here. And she said, there's nothing wrong with you that I can help you with. Right. And that's when I went to a different I went to Chris Talley, who's not even a doctor. And he figured I was wrong me,Brad Crowell 25:14  I think he's a doctor. Lesley Logan 25:16  Is he a doctor?Brad Crowell 25:16  Definitely a doctor. Lesley Logan 25:17  Sorry, Chris. Brad Crowell 25:20  But anyway, the point is that, you know, when you know, you, I think you shared in the, in the interview, you actually shared about your experience when we moved to Vegas, about a woman who just wrote off the things that you were asking her to do, and didn't acknowledge anything that you are discussing with her. And that sucks. And that's ridiculous. And if you end up finding yourself in a situation like that, this is where you can advocate for yourself, you need to advocate for yourself, and find a different doctor, find someone who will listen to you who can understand the situation, and then, you know, work with you on the thing, because it's a puzzle.Lesley Logan 25:56  I mean, you're totally you're, I think you're like leaning into your own favorite parts here, because it is a puzzle. And you have to advocate for yourself.Brad Crowell 26:04  And in order for you to do that. Just to finish up your point, you have to understand it yourself, too. Right. So I think that if you've been diagnosed with hyper, or hypo or whatever, thyroid, I don't even know all the things. It's important that you dig in yourself, right? And that's one thing that's so cool, is the reason that Elle Russ is so passionate is because she suffered for years. And she felt herself changed from like, intense athlete to bumping into shit. And she's like, what is happening to me, and then she just wasn't satisfied with the diagnosis. She got just like what, like, this doesn't make sense. And that sent her down this path, right. And now today, she's decided this is her mission is to really help people educate themselves. So she has this really nice course that you can go in the show notes and check it out. But moving into the thing that I love that she said is that it is super important for you as a patient to be proactive about your health, especially in advocating for correct tests. Okay. Now, this is really interesting to me, because I don't, I don't actually I'm not a I don't know this, I don't know anything about these specific tests. But But Elle listed these six tests, if you're, if you are suffering with thyroid issues, she said it says th t sh, a free T three a free T for a reverse T three, those are the main four. And then there was one called a T P O antibiotic antibody, and then a TG antibody. And the balance of the conversation after that was about the struggle to actually get the doctors to run these tests. Because they you know, what, what Elle has experienced with her clients is that they go in, they asked for these tests, and the doctor say I'm gonna run the tests, and then the results come back and they didn't fucking run the tests. Lesley Logan 27:49  Well, because they ran just like one test, or they run a combine, they don't run them separately. And I actually sent her my most recent blood results, because I didn't have all these tests run. I wasn't really aware that a had thyroid thing, but I sent her what I had. And then I had another person look at them, plus my own doctor who I love and trust. And all of them agreed upon the same thing. So like everything is good with my thyroid. But it's, that's what second opinions are for.Brad Crowell 28:15  Yeah, so it's important to get a second opinion. And also she even said something that was kind of off the cuff. And it wasn't really discussed. She said, if you're familiar with what a phlebotomist is, a phlebotomist is the person drawing your blood. So she actually said, ask your doctor for these things. And she clearly has a distrust for doctors. So she said, then when before the phlebotomist even sticks the needle in your arm, ask him if these tests are available to be to be run on your blood from this place. And if they say no, then don't even get your blood drawn. And I thought that's interesting, right? Because the phlebotomist is probably more junior, they're newer to the team. They you know, and whatever. So they're not going they also will be able to give you a lot more of their time, to be honest. Yeah. Typically,Lesley Logan 29:03  When we work with Chris Talley, the phlebotomist came to my house.Brad Crowell 29:07  Yeah, yeah. So anyway, I thought that was really interesting, you know, and she said that sometimes the doctors just think that you're, you know, an ignoramus. And they're like, I know better. And I'm not gonna run the test you just asked me to do, she's talking about other times where they actually put it down, but then it just doesn't happen.Lesley Logan 29:25  You know, here's the thing, like, remember that going back to the doctor who I asked these tests for, and she was like, just like blew me off was like, hormones change throughout the day. So it's not even going to matter. Like, it's not going to give us anything. Well, my doctor ran my hormones. And then she asked me, what part of your cycle were you on when this was run? And I could tell her what day of my cycle I was on, and she could look at the test, knowing what part of my cycle is on and go and say, okay, these numbers make sense based on that there are doctors out there who can do this. Yeah, it just requires it's exhausting because we have so much to do. And I know because I had like, a member, an agency who like was hoping the lawyer would just do the thing. And she's like, I don't know, I don't know. It's like, everything is a collaboration, whether you're working with your doctor, whether you're working with a pilates instructor, whether with a business coach or even a lawyer. You can't just assume they know best. You know your body best so you have got to advocate for yourself. And then you have to ask them. Can you explain why this is happening? Well, can you explain why we're doing this? Can you answer this? They have, when they're in the room with you, they cannot leave until you're done. If they say do you have any questions, and you ask questions, they can't walk away from you. (Right.) So it is okay. And ladies, especially, especially all of you, you must be okay, asking those questions, because I know I'm not. I know I'm like, I don't want to take up your time. I don't want to waste your time. I don't want to, you know, I don't want to be rude. No, it's your fucking body. Your fucking life.Brad Crowell 30:50  I ask all the questions. This fucking guy.Lesley Logan 30:53  Yeah, he does. He's in there for half an hour. Anyway. Be like Brad.Brad Crowell 30:57  Yeah. All right, be like Brad.All right. Finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable intrinsic or targeted action items, can we take away from your combo with Elle Russ. She said spread the word. You know, when you heal from something like she has, you know, or you gain some knowledge about something that's impacted you. It's important to actually talk about it and share that with other people. Help someone who's suffering with that same thing. And obviously, you're not, you know, a doctor or someone who has spent years studying the thing. And that's okay, so do your best. Point them in the right direction. And she said you don't have to coach everyone, but you can help people out.Lesley Logan 31:57  August agrees that was that shake in the background? What about you? Um, she said perseverance pays. And I couldn't agree more. It means never give up. If there's something wrong with your health, you do not stop until you have felt you have a satisfying answer. Unfortunately, some things take us years to even understand that it's going wrong. Brad Crowell 32:15  I mean, some things are your road has has been more than 10 years now. Lesley Logan 32:20  Yep, yep. And I mean, at least I'm not in pain every day, and at least I'm not forgetting things anymore. And I'm not walking into walls. And but that's amazing. Brad Crowell 32:30  And you're sleeping.Lesley Logan 32:31  I am sleeping. I actually sleep more than I sleep six hours a day, I'm trying to get up to seven and a half without waking up in the middle of it. We're working on it. We got to six though, so that's great. But it's whatever glad you hear probably didn't happen overnight. It's probably years of in the making. And so you have to also understand that the fix is probably not gonna be overnight, right? But you should feel like your people on your team are listening to you. And so you keep going until you find people on your team who will listen to you. You owe it to yourself, you owe it to the people who are in your life, you owe it to your family, I don't care if you have no kids and no partner. You owe it to all those people who love you. Because you are the only person to do what you do the way you do it. So anyways, I that's that's her Be It actually, that I love, and I couldn't agree more.I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 33:21  And I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan 33:22  Thank you so much for joining us today. I really hope this helps you. I know this is like sometimes people think we only talk about goals here. Nope. Sometimes I talk about health, sometimes a specific part of our health. And it's because I really believe that being it till you see it is the best way to do anything in this life. And you cannot do that if your health is not up to par If your health can't get you there.

William Davis, MD, is a cardiologist and author of many books including the New York Times bestselling Wheat Belly series, UNDOCTORED, and his latest book called Super Gut! In the process of seeking optimal health, Dr. Davis discovered why most people are sick… Wheat, Grains, and Sugar! Dr. Davis will share how we can improve our […] The post William Davis, MD, Wheat Belly Lifestyle Principles appeared first on LillianMcDermott.com.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. William Davis. He provides solutions to health problems by addressing the microbiome, massively disrupted in modern people. He shows readers in his Super Gut book, for instance, how to restore important lost microbes lost such as Lactobacillus reuteri, restored by using a unique method of yogurt fermentation that smooths skin and reduces wrinkles, restores youthful muscle and strength, deepens sleep, reduces appetite and provides many other youth-preserving and anti-aging effects. In Super Gut and in his website, www.DrDavisInfiniteHealth.com, he provides additional do-it-yourself-at-home strategies for benefits such as improved mood, improved athletic performance, better sleep, heightened immunity, and improved body composition. Dr. William Davis is also responsible for exposing the incredible nutritional blunder made by "official" health agencies: Eat more "healthy whole grains." The wheat of today is different from the wheat of 1960, thanks to extensive genetics manipulations introduced to increase yield-per-acre. Eliminating wheat yields results beyond everyone's expectations: substantial weight loss, correction of cholesterol abnormalities, relief from inflammatory diseases like arthritis, better mood, reduced blood sugar with many type 2 diabetics being freed of insulin and other drugs, all articulated through his Wheat Belly series of books. He is also a champion of individual self-directed health, as discussed in his Undoctored book. Dr. Davis lives what he preaches, not having indulged in a wheat-containing bagel, ciabatta, or pretzel in many years, while consuming various fermentation products that yield unexpected health benefits. Dr. Davis lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In this episode, Dr. Davis speaks about the inspiration behind The Wheat Belly lifestyle. Then, Dr. Davis dives into how modern life in America is messing with our microbiome. Many people think that probiotics will solve all their gut problems; however, Dr. Davis explains the issues with the commercial probiotic industry. Plus, Dr. Davis explains why you shouldn't cut fat when it comes to gallstones. Tune in as we chat about supplements, the best microbiome tests, and how metabolic endotoxemia initiates insulin resistance.

So, Dr. Davis created the Wheat Belly lifestyle. Basically, Dr. Davis dared to write an against-the-grain book exposing "healthy whole grains" for the incredibly destructive genetic monster they've become. Wheat Belly is an illuminating look at what truly makes Americans sick and an action plan to clear our plates of this harmful ingredient. Learn more about Wheat Belly here: https://drdavisinfinitehealth.com/wheat-belly/ [04:20] How Modern Life In America Is Messing With Our Microbiome With each successive generation, the microbiome gets worse and worse and worse. In the US, most people by age 40 have taken 30 courses of antibiotics. There are 800 prescriptions for antibiotics written every year for every 1,000 people. Yes, many people do need antibiotics for certain situations. However, 30-50% of all antibiotics that are dispensed have no benefit to the recipient. [15:05] The Many Problems With Commercial Probiotics There are a lot of problems with the current crop of commercial probiotics. For instance, most probiotics don't specify strength. Plus, many probiotics don't tell you what strain you are taking. Failing to specify strain is a major problem. Some companies are doing double encapsulation because they've been fooled into believing that probiotics should survive untouched until it gets to the colon. One in three people has a proliferation of unhealthy stool microbes in the small bowel. So, you don't want your probiotics to be double encapsulated. That way, it can be released into the small bowel. [20:45] Why You Shouldn't Cut Your Fat When It Comes To Gallstones People think that fat causes gallstone. However, fat does not cause gallstones. General surgeons are guilty of telling people to cut their fat when taking out a gallbladder. When you cut fat, your gallbladder will store bile instead of squeezing it out. People who present with gallstones typically also have SIBO. If you're really having gallbladder symptoms, and one stone lodges in your bile duct, it is potentially catastrophic. Bile salts can be useful for your symptoms. Overall, the key is never to cut your fat and never cut your calories. [28:10] The Role of Vitamin D and Magnesium To Form a Super Gut   Vitamin D has been now shown to amplify the intestinal immune response. Magnesium is an osmotic agent that pulls water into your bowels, and it prevents slowed passage of digested food. Taking magnesium accelerates the passage of food through the GI tract. Also, taking iodine ensures that you're not going to get hypothyroidism from a lack of iodine. [31:40] An Amazing New Test That's Very Simple And Effective For SIBO Mainstream doctors should be experts at nutrition and nutritional supplements. However, they are not. Unfortunately, there is the willful ignorance of things in health because they just don't pay enough. Davis says to check out Food Marble:  It's the latest most advanced digestive breath testing device for people with IBS and digestive issues. Using the FoodMarble breath tester and app will help you find the foods that work for your digestive system. It's easy, it's validated, and it's all in your breath. Get the FoodMarble AIRE SIBO test: https://amzn.to/3sSDkVV [45:10] All About The Mucus: Why It's Critical For Your Health Mucus is in your membranes, your airway, your nasal passages, and your GI tract. Mucus is a lubricant and a protective layer. The colon is good at making mucus. However, the small bowel is not as good at making mucus. We're exposed to many things in modern life that screw up the mucus barrier. If you're not eating properly, you will have an impaired mucus barrier. [48:10] How Metabolic Endotoxemia Initiates Insulin Resistance People with insulin resistance will have a pancreas that overcompensates by increasing the production of insulin. When you have high levels of insulin, it causes fat deposition, and it blocks weight loss. How much does endotoxemia contribute to insulin resistance? Well, endotoxemia is a major driver of insulin resistance. When you reverse endotoxemia, you will see insulin drop. Then, you can finally lose weight. Read Metabolic Endotoxemia Initiates Obesity and Insulin Resistance: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17456850/ [50:05] The Best Way To Test Your Gut Microbiome Stool testing is evolving.

I first became familiar with the brilliant Dr. William Davis and his impressive body of work when I interviewed him for an episode about heart attacks way back in 2009. Later, he joined me for a podcast about his book Wheat Belly, in which we discussed why you're not eating the same kind of wheat your ancestors ate, whether wheat bread is really better than white bread, if wheat is ever OK to eat and if so, when, and good substitutes and alternatives for wheat. Today, Dr. William Davis is back to discuss his new book Super Gut: A Four-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight. In Super Gut, Dr. Davis takes his research and findings a step further and shows that because of our highly processed diet, pesticides, and overuse of antibiotics, our guts are is now missing so many of the good bacteria required to be healthy. As a result, many of us have lost control over health, weight, mood, even behavior. The ancient bacteria that keep our gut in alignment and our digestion easy have been dying off, replaced by harmful microbes that don't serve to keep us physically healthy and mentally fit. With cutting-edge research, Dr. Davis has connected the dots between gut health and modern ailments and complaints. There are entire species of microbes that have disappeared, creating health issues that were uncommon one hundred, or even fifty, years ago. A major consequence is SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), a silent and profound epidemic, which affects one out of three people and is responsible for an astounding range of human health conditions. Super Gut shows how to eliminate bad bacteria and bring back the missing “good” bacteria with a four-week plan to reprogram your microbiome based on research and techniques that not only get to the root of many diseases but improve levels of oxytocin (the bonding/happy hormone), brain health, and promote anti-aging, weight loss, mental clarity, and more restful sleep. Super Gut explains the science clearly and includes more than forty recipes, a diet plan, and resources so you can pinpoint your gut issues, correct them, and maintain your long-term health and well-being. Dr. Davis provides solutions to health problems by addressing the microbiome, massively disrupted in modern people. He shows readers in his Super Gut book, for instance, how to restore important lost microbes lost such as Lactobacillus reuteri, restored by using a unique method of yogurt fermentation that smooths skin and reduces wrinkles, restores youthful muscle and strength, deepens sleep, reduces appetite and provides many other youth-preserving and anti-aging effects. In Super Gut, he provides additional do-it-yourself-at-home strategies for benefits such as improved mood, improved athletic performance, better sleep, heightened immunity, and improved body composition. Dr. William Davis is also responsible for exposing the incredible nutritional blunder made by "official" health agencies: Eat more "healthy whole grains." The wheat of today is different from the wheat of 1960, thanks to extensive genetics manipulations introduced to increase yield-per-acre. Eliminating wheat yields results beyond everyone's expectations: substantial weight loss, correction of cholesterol abnormalities, relief from inflammatory diseases like arthritis, better mood, reduced blood sugar with many type 2 diabetics being freed of insulin and other drugs, all articulated through his Wheat Belly series of books. He is also a champion of individual self-directed health, as discussed in his Undoctoredbook.
