Ask The Low-Carb Experts (Episode 3): ‘Healthy Whole Grains?’ | Dr. William Davis

PLEASE VISIT AND SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR:

NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: http://cmp.ly/3

It’s been fun launching my THIRD podcast dedicated to promoting the positive and life-changing message of healthy low-carb living. In just two short weeks, the “Ask The Low-Carb Experts” podcast has broken into the Top 10 of Health podcasts overall, been featured among the “New & Noteworthy” Health podcasts on iTunes, and garnered some truly fantastic ratings and feedback from listeners who are excited about this interactive LIVE show that airs on Thursday nights at 7PM ET. If you’ve been listening and become a fan of my new show, then I’d LOVE to have your review on iTunes to help us keep the momentum going to tell the world that low-carb is far from being a “fad” and that health is genuinely improving in the lives of real people who are implementing this effective nutritional approach. If you missed Episode 1 with Jackie Eberstein on “Weight Loss Obstacles” or Episode 2 with Dr. Ron Rosedale about “All Things Leptin, then go check them out to see what my new podcast project is all about! Fans of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show” will appreciate this weekly focus on specific topics with some of the most highly-qualified expert guests in the world featuring a Q&A session with callers on the line and questions e-mailed ahead of time. I hope you are enjoying listening as much as I am enjoying hosting it!

In Episode 3 of “Jimmy Moore Presents: Ask The Low-Carb Experts,” we pull out the big guns for a pet peeve subject in the realm of nutritional health by tackling the issue of “Healthy Whole Grains?” highlighting a Wisconsin-based cardiologist who knows a thing or two about how the health of this nation is being destroyed, not helped by the promotion of wheat and other whole grains as “healthy.” His name is Dr. William Davis and he’s certainly no stranger to the low-carb community. In 2011 he released his long-awaited book called Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health about how obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic diseases have been brought on by the enormous changes made to wheat crops in modern times.

Dr. Davis is a preventive cardiologist whose unique approach to nutrition (that is unlike what most of his fellow heart doctors are using) allows him to advocate for reversal, not just prevention, of heart disease. He is the founder of the Track Your Plaque program and lives in the state of Wisconsin. Dr. Davis has been on the cusp of identifying the key causes of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease for well over a decade with his examination into the negative impact of consuming “healthy whole grains.” He was a special guest speaker on The 3rd Annual Low-Carb Cruise discussing his work promoting heart health through prevention with the use of an inexpensive CT Heart Scan test and he will be one of the featured guest speakers on the May 2012 Low-Carb Cruise sharing more about this subject in a lecture entitled “The Great Whole Grain Caper.” But we were glad to have him join us on ATLCX answering listener questions in EPISODE 3 on January 26, 2012.

Listen to Dr. William Davis address the topic “Healthy Whole Grains?”:

  • The “ubiquitous” message of promoting “healthy whole grains”

  • Why the arguments against wheat are probably much worse than he is saying
  • Lectins blocking leptin means that wheat leads directly to obesity
  • We’ve “only scratched the surface” on the impact of wheat on health
  • Whether wheat germ is worse or not as bad as consuming wheat bread
  • The “superiority of health” that wheat germ has, but it’s undeserved
  • The highest concentration of glycoprotein lectins are in wheat germ
  • How wheat germ penetrates “foreign substances” into the bloodstream
  • Whether fermentation or sprouted wheat merely makes it even worse
  • If there are other physicians who are embracing the anti-wheat message

  • Why you never “feel” small LDL particles and most people have it
  • The “very rare” existence of people who don’t have Small LDL-P
  • Why a high Small LDL-P makes it “crystal clear” about what to do
  • His protocol of wheat elimination and a low-carb diet
  • Why statin drugs won’t improve the Small LDL-P issue
  • Why it’s not enough to “just eliminate wheat” without other changes
  • The genetic condition that leads people to be skinny but high Small LDL
  • How avoiding wheat isn’t just about gluten, but also amylopectin A
  • It’s about wheat avoidance and not gluten avoidance for health
  • The rise of gluten-free foods that are just as harmful as eating wheat
  • Whether soaking brown rice removes the anti-nutrients makes it healthier
