Why can ’ t I lose weight?
Let’s cut through the garbage advice on weight loss: cutting fat does not work, limiting calories ensures long-term failure. The Wheat Belly and Undoctored lifestyles get you off to a powerful start, but you can take it further. Here, I discuss seven additional strategies.

8 Health Risks of Untreated Depression
Medication side-effects can seem unbearable at times: dry mouth, nausea, dizziness, constipation. Certain prescriptions can also increase our risks for developing chronic conditions like thyroid disease and diabetes. Three years ago, I decided that the pills’ side-effects weren’t worth the relief they brought, so I slowly weaned off all my medication. I then plummeted into a severe depression that ended up taking a far greater toll on my health than the nuisance of my drugs. You may be justifiably concerned about how your mood stabilizer and antidepressant are altering your biochemistry, but also consider the grave con...

Unwrinkled
Can you stop—-genuinely stop-—the progress, the ravages, of aging? Is it possible to arrest skin thinning and sagging, bone loss, muscle atrophy, impaired healing, hormonal depletion, i.e., all the trappings of aging and stay somewhere around 40 until you reach 100? Can you continue to ride a bicycle, dance the samba, remain slender, vigorous, energetic, smooth and unwrinkled well after peers have given into gravity and age? Or, if you are already beyond age 40, can you turn the clock back 10 or 20 years and regain the vigor, strength, health, and smooth skin that you were misled into thinking you’d regain by eating ...

What Do I Do When My Antidepressant Stops Working?
This study examined 103 patients with bipolar 1 disorder who, despite taking a mood stabilizer, experienced frequent relapses. During a 12-month period, the group receiving cognitive therapy had significantly fewer bipolar episodes and reported less mood symptoms on the monthly mood questionnaires. They also had less fluctuation in manic symptoms. It’s normal to panic in the days and weeks your symptoms return; however, as you can see, there are many options to pursue. If the first approach doesn’t work, try another. Persevere until you achieve full remission and feel like yourself again. It will happen. Trust me on th...

Why do so many Americans now have thyroid disease?
An astounding number of people now have thyroid disease in some form sufficient to cause weight gain or block weight loss, cause feelings of being inappropriately cold, fatigue, and add to heart disease risk. But why? Unfortunately, it is from the combined effect of several trends in the modern human diet and exposures to industrial chemicals. Addressing your thyroid status is therefore a modern necessity. The post Why do so many Americans now have thyroid disease? appeared first on Dr. William Davis. (Source: Wheat Belly Blog)

Why Your Doctor Won ’ t Prescribe the T3 Thyroid Hormone
There is a simple reason why doctors typically refuse to prescribe the T3 thyroid hormone and it has nothing to do with science, side-effects, or potential dangers. As with so many things in healthcare, it boils down to Big Pharma and money. The solution is to find a better-informed doctor.

Wheat Belly: Ten Rules for Healthy Eating
A hundred thousand years ago, you’d have no doubt what and how to eat. You would wake up every morning, grab your spear, club or axe and go kill something, wander and gather berries, nuts, or dig in the dirt for roots and tubers, or set traps for fish and reptiles. If you succeeded in the hunt, you would consume every organ that included thyroid, thymus, pancreas, stomach, liver, as well as meat. You’d drink water from streams and rivers, allow skin surface to be exposed to sunlight. You would NOT shower with soap or shampoo, apply hand sanitizer, drink chlorinated water, consume foods laced with herbicides and...

Why are Americans so deficient in iodine?
Despite being an essential nutrient, so many people fail to obtain an adequate intake of iodine, even fewer obtain an ideal intake. Yet getting iodine is so easy and inexpensive. But don’t rely on the doctor to tell you how or why, as he/she is too busy planning your next procedure or trying to hand you a drug prescription, since doctors really don’t know how to dispense genuine health. Transcript: Let’s talk about iodine. Now I’ve talked about iodine before. It’s in the Wheat Belly Total Health program. It’s in the Undoctored Wild-Naked-Unwashed program. But I feel like the iodine mes...

Susanne: Not gluten-free, not ketogenic . . . but hugely successful in health and weight loss
Susanne learned her weight and health lessons the hard way, making many common mistakes . . . until she finally found the Wheat Belly lifestyle for restoration of magnificent health and slenderness: “I started Wheat Belly in September of 2017. I figured I’d give it a try to see if it would work for me. I had just looked into the Keto diet but hated the fact that you had to count micros and calories. It was the one thing that always discouraged me from starting a diet. Wheat Belly sounded like something I could stick with. After all, watching your carbs and eliminating grains and sugar seemed easy enough. “Pr...

Mainstream medicine needs to play offense
Last summer, I published a post called“Alternative Medicine is Kicking Our Ass.” In it, I focused on one particularly slick alt-thyroid site that has done a masterful job of sowing doubt regarding the advice mainstream physicians give to our patients about the thyroid.
