Amy was skeptical . . . but look at her now!
Amy shared her photos after a year on the Wheat Belly lifestyle. Just look at the breathtaking change!
“Thank you Dr.Davis for changing my life! One year ago I gave Wheat Belly a try thinking it would never work. I went along with it with a friend, thinking we would last two weeks.
“One year later, no cheat days, I’m a lifer!”
Unlike a “diet,” this shift in food choices that restores health is easy to adhere to because we do something very special: we remove the addictive, appetite-stimulating effects of gliadin-derived opiates. These are the wheat-derived peptides that cause mind ̶...

Starting Again.
Just made my blog public again, so sure there aren't many who find this site or read it, but it has given me some clarity as to writing for myself. This was simply to be a type of diary that I could look back and see where I had become depressed/hypomanic and see if there was any triggers or long it could have been going on. I guess it is what many bipolars would call a type of mood marker, although I guess it has turned into so much joy.I'm sure I mentioned it, but I made it public because my husband asked me to. He had applied for CIO job and didn't want it to be found since he is the only person that I...

Deglutenize Your Brain
A recent study from Monash University in Australia has the media declaring that gluten is good for everybody, harmful only to those with celiac disease.
Is this true? Has gluten from wheat, rye, and barley been exonerated? Should we go back to the supermarket and resume buying bread, rolls, bagels, and pasta?
In this small study, 37 people with presumed “non-celiac gluten sensitivity,” NCGS, or celiac disease-like symptoms in the absence of the intestinal destruction or antibody abnormalities (e.g., transglutaminase antibodies), demonstrated no unique response to purified gluten protein. The investigators, fol...

No Longer Count Calories And Lose Weight Like Sarah
Sarah relates this story of how, after years of struggle with health and weight, she finally found the answer.
Her story is especially interesting as she worked in the weight loss industry.
“I have struggled all my life with my weight and food was always my comforter.
In my late 30′s, I managed to lose 40 kg [88 lbs] and reach my goal weight with a major weight loss company in which I became a consultant. But, if I was previously fat and unhappy, I was now thin and unhappy. My years of chronic low-fat dieting led me to develop binge eating disorder. I felt like such a fraud and I was struggling to maintain my...

Don't Tell Yourself You Don't Care
Do you know the three words you never want to say to yourself when you’re faced with eating decisions? “I don’t care.” Say them and you know what food- and body-abusing road you’re heading down. The fact is, you do care. You care, you care, you care!
Not long ago, I was privy to observing a friend debate whether to eat something that wouldn’t be healthy for her due to food allergies and other metabolic problems. I listened to her struggle aloud and knew she was heading for defeat when she said, “I just don’t care.” Of course, she overate—carbs, of course—as I sat there helplessly and mutely watchin...

What are teens hoping to feel when they self-harm?
This study has made an important contribution to an under-researched aspect of self-harm, although it leaves many questions unanswered. For instance, one explanation for the more frequent self-harming observed among those who say they self-harm because they want to experience pain, is that the act triggers pain-relief mechanisms in the brain - a form of euphoria. And yet, self-harming was less frequent among those who said they self-harmed for satisfaction. This potential contradiction could be due to vagueness in the meanings of the words used - is the pursuit of euphoria (via pain) different from the pursuit of satisfact...
