“ I ’ m losing my hair on the Wheat Belly lifestyle! ”
It’s a complaint I hear occasionally from people starting the Wheat Belly lifestyle: “I’m losing my hair. Big clumps of hair fall out when I brush!”
Why does this happen? And is it permanent? Will people become bald after a few months?
Take a look at the many before/afters people have posted on the Wheat Belly Facebook page and the photos I’ve posted over the years on the Wheat Belly Blog. Even within the first few days, we commonly witness a curious and dramatic reduction in facial swelling, reduction in around-the-eye puffiness, reversal of skin redness. Many people look quite different. In ...

What Has A.I. In Medicine Ever Done For Us? At Least 45 Things!
Remember Monty Python’s
brilliant Life of Brian movie scene where the Palestinian insurgent commando,
planning the abduction of Pilate’s wife in return for all the horrors they had
to endure from the Roman Empire, asks the rhetorical question: what have the
Romans ever done for us? With the hype and overmarketing, not to speak about
the fears around A.I, we asked the same question. What has A.I. in medicine
ever done for us? Well, we found at least 45 things.
I have 45 responses to
the pressing question on everyone’s mind who is interested in healthcare but
tired of the hype or the doomsday
scenarios around A.I.: ...

Sclerosing orbital lesions: broadening the differential diagnosis of " idiopathic sclerosing pseudotumor "
Sclerosing orbital lesion(the biopsy revealed it to be Erdheim-Chester disease)Sclerosing lesions of the orbit can present a diagnostic conundrum. Often submitted with a differential diagnosis that includes idiopathic sclerosing pseudotumor, it is incumbent upon the pathologist to rule out other diagnostic possibilities before designating the lesion as idiopathic. In order to survey the range of diagnoses for such specimens, we searched over a 10-year period for specimens submitted to the University of Colorado pathology department which either clinically or pathologically raised the possibility of idiopathic sclerosing ps...

6 Inspiring Books That Will Lift Your Mood
Losing yourself in the pages of a riveting novel or memoir is a legitimate form of therapy. Even better is coming away from the characters and the story with a renewed purpose and sense of hope.
John Green, one of my favorite authors, said “Great books help you understand, and they help you feel understood.” I think that’s true especially for people who struggle with depression and anxiety or some other chronic illness that is stigmatized in our culture. Between the covers of a book, we find a new world that shines some light on our reality.
Here are a few inspiring books that will “help you understand and help you...

Calorie Restriction Affects the Plasticity of Fat Tissue, Not Just the Amount of Fat Tissue
The practice of calorie restriction, a reduction of up to 40% below the usual ad libitum calorie intake, while still obtaining optimal levels of dietary micronutrients, is well known to slow aging and extend life in near all species and lineages tested to date. Calorie restriction produces sweeping changes in the operation of cellular metabolism, such as upregulation of a range of cellular stress responses, including the maintenance processes of autophagy. It also, however, has the obvious outcome of greatly reducing body fat, particularly the visceral fat that clusters around the organs of the abdomen.
Visceral fat...

Ten reasons to never eat wheat
How can conventional dietary advice gotten it so wrong?
Rather than eating plenty of “healthy whole grains,” people on the Wheat Belly lifestyle eat absolutely no grains and enjoy spectacular weight loss and reversal of hundreds of health conditions as a result. Unfortunately, many people view this as a “gluten-free” lifestyle which is incorrect.
Here are 10 reasons why no bagels, pretzels, or sandwiches made from wheat flour should ever cross human lips.
Gliadin-derived opioid peptides (from partial digestion to 4- and 5-amino acid long fragments) increase appetite substantially–as do related pro...

What ’ s the story with iodine?
Iodine is an essential nutrient, but one that many have forgotten about despite the fact that iodine deficiency was a major public health crisis all throughout human history until 1924.
Iodized salt was the solution to iodine deficiency. But, since the FDA advised everyone to cut back salt intake, iodine deficiency and even goiters (enlarged thyroid glands due to lack of iodine) are making a comeback along with weight gain, fatigue, thinning hair, high blood pressure and other health problems, yet the solution is so simple.
The post What’s the story with iodine? appeared first on Dr. William Davis. (Source: Wheat Belly Blog)

The Informed Thyroid: Address Your T3
It’s a peculiar, though not entirely unexpected phenomenon: You’d expect endocrinologists, specialists in glandular health, to be the champions of restoring optimal thyroid status. Instead, they are the most misinformed and neglectful.
Much of this is due to their ignorance of the emerging science that has emerged over the past two decades on the impact of INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS on thyroid status, something they would not be aware of unless they examine the TOXICOLOGICAL evidence demonstrating that the thyroid gland and thyroid hormones are disrupted by common chemical exposures.
Ignore your ignorant endocrinolo...

The Cruelty of Managed Medicare
By HANS DUVEFELT MD
Jeanette Brown had lost twenty pounds, and she was worried.
“I’m not trying,” she told me at her regular diabetes visit as I pored over her lab results. What I saw sent a chill down my spine:
A normal weight, diet controlled diabetic for many years, her glycosylated hemoglobin had jumped from 6.9 to 9.3 in three months while losing that much weight.
That is exactly what happened to my mother some years ago, before she was diagnosed with the pancreatic cancer that took her life in less than two years.
Jeanette had a normal physical exam and all her bloodwork except for the sugar num...

Is the ketogenic diet dangerous?
Answer: No—unless you do it for more than a few months. After a few months, the upfront metabolic and weight benefits will begin to reverse and new health problems arise. We know this with confidence. I raise this question once again because more and more people are coming to me reporting problems. It may take months, even years, but the long-term consequences can be quite serious.
Achieving ketosis by engaging in a very low-carbohydrate, high-fat lifestyle is—without a doubt—an effective means of losing weight, breaking insulin and leptin resistance, reversing type 2 diabetes and fatty liver, redu...

Mental Health and Hyperhidrosis
Hyperhidrosis is defined as abnormally excessive sweating unrelated to heat or exercise. If you have this condition you might find yourself sweating so much that it soaks through your clothes or drips off your hands. Hands, feet, underarms and the face are areas that are typically affected, and the sweating usually occurs on both sides of the body.
The most common form of hyperhidrosis is known as primary focal (essential) hyperhidrosis. The nerves responsible for signaling sweat glands become overactive, even though they haven’t been triggered by physical activity or a rise in temperature. It’s interesting to note...
