My favorite healthy eating and weight loss app for the Wheat Belly Lifestyle
It can sometimes be overwhelming to begin a new way of eating, or as we say, “woe.” The Wheat Belly lifestyle, my grain-free and low-carb, high-fat nutrition plan, can take time and practice. But I say “Time well spent!”
The Wheat Belly lifestyle has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation. It also retrains your mind and body to no longer depend on carbs and frees you from the proteins in grains that keep you feeling hungry and damage overall health.
Cut out the wheat, the gliadin and gluten–and all grains– and you reduce the risk of many chronic diseases as well as lose stubbo...

L. reuteri, collagen, and strength training to minimize loose, sagging skin after weight loss
Combine our unique strategies of
Consuming our L. reuteri yogurt that boosts oxytocin
Supplement collagen hydrolysates
Strength train
to minimize or prevent loose sagging skin after substantial weight loss, as typically happens on the Wheat Belly and Undoctored lifestyles.
L. reuteri boosts oxytocin that makes gaining muscle much faster and more effective. Oxytocin also provokes a marked increase in dermal collagen, amplified further by supplementing collagen hydrolysates. The combination of these three strategies stacks the odds in your favor of not having to deal with the loose skin folds after losing, say, 50, 100 or ...

Stack the odds in favor of reversing type 2 diabetes
A carb-restricted diet is only a START in stacking the odds in favor of fully reversing, or at least minimizing, type 2 diabetes.
You must address the several factors in health that allow insulin to do its job, i.e., restore INSULIN RESISTANCE. This is what we do in the Wheat Belly Total Heath and now Undoctored lifestyles.
Transcript:
Let’s talk about how you can stack the odds in favor of a full reversal of Type II diabetes. You know what, about 90% of people, who have Type II diabetes — even if they’ve had it for 5 years, 10 years, or longer, can become confidently non-diabetic, or at the very least,...

Dancing in the Rain: On Becoming More Emotionally Resilient
During the first half of my life, I tried to find THE solution to my depression and anxiety — a cure that would forever eradicate my symptoms. I was a gullible consumer of dogmatic books and advice promising Nirvana: by balancing my gut bacteria, by committing to a daily meditation practice, by taking fish oil and vitamin D, or by sweating out my toxins through hot yoga six times a week.
While those are all pieces of my recovery program today, none of them alone provided the answer. After years of meandering down dead-end paths, I arrived at the hard realization that I would forever be with some symptoms. My mood dis...

Reduce HIGH TRIGLYCERIDES naturally and safely . . . without scam products
High triglyceride levels are as common as muffin tops and man breasts. You will find a triglyceride level among the four values on any standard cholesterol panel. High triglycerides are either ignored by most doctors or reflexively “treated” with drugs, such as fibrates (Lopid, fenofibrate), prescription fish oil (Lovaza, Vascepa) and, of course, statins. But buried in this single triglyceride value is tremendous insight into diet, metabolic efficiencies, and cardiovascular risk, with control using natural, non-medication means easy to accomplish with absolute NO need for overpriced Big Pharma scam products.
Why are ...

Statistical Certainty: Less is More
By ANISH KOKA MD
The day after NBC releases a story on a ‘ground-breaking’ observational study demonstrating caramel macchiatas reduce the risk of death, everyone expects physicians to be experts on the subject. The truth is that most of us hope John Mandrola has written a smart blog on the topic so we know intelligent things to tell patients and family members.
A minority of physicians actually read the original study, and of those who read the study, even fewer have any real idea of the statistical ingredients used to make the study. Imagine not knowing whether the sausage you just ate contained rat droppings. At...

Natural Answers for Depression
If you experience depression, you will typically be prescribed an antidepressant, an SSRI or other agent, and have to endure the common side-effects such as weight gain, aggression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and erectile dysfunction. If you consult a psychologist or counselor, the underlying psychological underpinnings (if any) are explored, strategies devised to cope. But there will almost never be talk about your diet, nutritional deficiencies that amplify dark moods, or the microbiome.
Yet there are very powerful strategies available that have potential to substantially lift mood. Such solutions won’t, of course...

The recent fish oil and vitamin D studies: Go beyond the headlines
Results of a much-anticipated trial on fish oil and vitamin D generated conflicting headlines recently. Some stories declared good news about the popular supplements. Reuters wrote that fish oil “can dramatically reduce the odds of a heart attack while vitamin D’s benefits seem to come from lowering the risk of death from cancer.” The Washington Post reported […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

Why does the Wheat Belly lifestyle reduce blood pressure so effectively?
We’ve seen it over and over again: Embark on the Wheat Belly lifestyle, particularly our complete program, as detailed in the Wheat Belly Total Health, Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox, and Undoctored books, and high blood pressure (BP) plummets sufficient to allow people to get off one, two, three, even four blood pressure medications.
The program is so quick and powerful that blood pressure medication(s) need to be reduced or eliminated immediately upon starting the program (one drug at a time), as we do not want to risk any low blood pressures (hypotension). And note that we achieve dramatic reductions in BP by NOT ...

How NOT to have high blood pressure
Patient suffers from hypertension. Woman is measuring blood pressure with monitor.
The average American’s lifetime risk for developing high blood pressure is 90%, even using the lax definition of hypertension in clinical studies (that typically don’t label a BP high unless it is 140/90 mmHg or higher, even though we know that, for example, risk for stroke and cardiovascular begin to rise with a systolic, or top, value of only 115 mmHg).
Here’s a checklist that, if followed, allow the majority of people with high blood pressure (BP) to reduce both systolic and diastolic values over time and be freed of the...

What Big Pharma does NOT want you to know about LDL cholesterol
Those of you following these Wheat Belly and Undoctored Blog posts know that it is no secret that Big Pharma is a predatory, manipulative, cutthroat industry that employs underhanded and unethical tactics as routine business. Part of their huge economic success is that they are so effective in getting my colleagues, mainstream physicians, to drink their Kool-Aid and do a lot of the dirty work for them. Just witness what happened in the opioid crisis—it couldn’t have happened without the willing participation of physicians.
It’s no different with “treating” cholesterol, total and LDL, with stat...

Malchemy: Converting health to sickness
Alchemy is an ancient pursuit dating back some 40 centuries, an effort to explore immortality, panaceas that cure any and all human diseases, and the conversion of, say, lead to gold to generate endless riches. It was also a collection of efforts that helped divine scientific exploration and explore early chemistry.
So what is “malchemy”?
Malchemy (mal = bad) is my term for the magical conversion of healthy, slender, well-adapted humans with healthy skin, bones, teeth, and gastrointestinal tracts to that of obese, fatigued, bloated, red-faced, disease-plagued humans, a startling and dramatic transformation. Whi...

Do you get brain fog with probiotics?
We may now have an explanation for the people who experience brain fog with probiotic use.
We already know that intolerance to prebiotic fibers within the first 60 minutes of ingestion have small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, SIBO. If you experience excessive gas, bloating, abdominal discomfort, or diarrhea within the first hour of consuming, say, inulin, a raw white potato, or legumes, it is virtually certain that you have SIBO that must be addressed if you desire full recovery of health. Recall that uncorrected SIBO can account for fibromyalgia, IBS, restless leg syndrome, psoriasis, and marked long-term potential for...

Omega-3 fatty acids for mood disorders
Omega-3 fatty acids are found primarily in fish oil and certain marine algae. Because depression appears less common in nations where people eat large amounts of fish, scientists have investigated whether fish oils may prevent and/or treat depression and other mood disorders. Two omega-3 fatty acids — eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) — are thought to have the most potential to benefit people with mood disorders.
How might omega-3s improve depression?
Different mechanisms of action have been proposed. For example, omega-3s can easily travel through the brain cell membrane and interact w...
