The gut microbiomes of many if not most modern people have been devastated by highly processed diets, biocides and overuse of antibiotics, which has destroyed countless beneficial bacteria required for optimal health. The impacts are many, upon our mental health, moods, weight and behavior. Our guest in this show, Dr. William Davis, Cardiologist and Author of the books Wheat Belly, Undoctored, and Super Gut [https://drdavisinfinitehealth.com/about/], exposes the problem with our wheat addiction and has connected the dots between gut health and common modern ailments and complaints.

The ancient bacteria that keep our digestion highly functional have been dying, and replaced by harmful microbes that negatively impact our physical and mental wellness. Supergut draws on cutting edge research, to connect the dots between gut health and modern ailments including SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, a silent and profound epidemic affecting 1 out of 3 people. Entire species of microbes have disappeared creating numerous health conditions that were uncommon 50-100 years ago. Digestive disorders, Parkinson’s, autism, ADD, ADHD, and neurodegenerative conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer’s are more prevalent than ever before.

Super Gut shows us how to eliminate bad bacteria and restore “good” bacteria and reprogram our microbiome. By addressing the root cause of gut flora disruption, we can improve health. Disease factors can be lessened or eliminated, and oxytocin levels can improve. Moreover, brain health, anti-aging, weight loss, mental clarity, and restful sleep can all be results of a healthy microbiome. In this episode, Dr. Davis will share how a restored microbiome is the key to lasting inner and outer health.
