Dr. William Davis discusses how modern factors like antibiotics, glyphosate, and food additives disrupt the microbiome, contributing to autoimmune, digestive, and chronic diseases. He emphasizes the importance of gut health, testing for SIBO, and restoring beneficial microbes to improve overall wellness, body composition, and longevity. He also highlights the need for a microbiome-focused approach to prevent long-term health issues, and discusses his new book, Super Body: A 3-Week Program to Harness the New Science of Body Composition and Restore Your Youthful Contours.

Over 2,000 years ago, Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, said "all disease begins in the gut."

Fast-forward to today, and science is proving this to be true. An unhappy gut may be the cause of many chronic diseases, like depression, obesity, autoimmune disease, autism, and even cancer.

One of the world's leading pioneers in gut health, Dr. Vincent Pedre, joins Dr. Friedman to explain how to cleanse, heal, and rebuild your gut for optimal health.

In his book The Salt Fix, James DiNicolantonio, a leading cardiovascular research scientist and doctor of pharmacy, overturns conventional thinking about salt and explores instead the little-understood importance of it, the health dangers of having too little, and how salt can actually help you improve sports performance, crush sugar cravings, and stave off common chronic illnesses.

Too little salt in the diet can shift the body into semi-starvation mode and cause insulin resistance, and may even cause you to absorb twice as much fat for every gram you consume. Too little salt in certain populations can actually increase blood pressure, as well as resting heart rate. We need salt in order to hydrate and nourish our cells, transmit nerve signals, contract our muscles, ensure proper digestion and breathing, and maintain proper heart function.

The Salt Fix explains how we wrongly demonized this essential micronutrient as well as explain what the current science really says about this misunderstood mineral and how to maximize its effect so you can enjoy ideal health and longevity.

Listen as DiNicolantonio joins Dr. Friedman to share more about salt's impact on the human body and why you might need more in your diet.
