The Ben Azadi Show
The Gut: A Guide to a Healthy Lifestyle
Dr. Ben Huh: I'm a big fan of your work from his previous books, Wheat Belly Undoxed and now you have this amazing book called Super Gut. We're going to dive deep into your brand new book, which is out now. You know, why did you become obsessed with the gut? And I know your background as a cardiologist. Well, you know, with the success of the Wheat Belly lifestyle of thousands of people doing this thing where you eliminate this creation of modern agribusiness called wheat. They're just not well supplied by a modern lifestyle.
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.

[00:30] The Inspiration Behind The Wheat Belly Lifestyle
- Every day, over 200 million Americans consume food products made of wheat.
- 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.

[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.

[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.
