Gluten Dangers. Why gluten is bad for your health and making you fat. Randy Alvarez, host of The Wellness Hour, discussing the book Wheat Belly with author and cardiologist Dr. William Davis. For more information visit drdavisinfinitehealth.com/

Every day, over 200 million Americans consume food products made of wheat. As a result, over 100 million of them experience some form of adverse health effect, ranging from high blood sugar to unattractive stomach bulges or “Wheat Bellies”. Dr. Davis reveals, that excess fat has nothing to do with gluttony, sloth, or too much butter: It’s due to the whole grain wraps we eat for lunch.

    Went completely gluten free 25 years ago, within 2 weeks I was free of migraines, arthritis, Ibs and mood instability. It saved my life going gluten free

    There should be a saying: tell me what you eat and I will tell why you are sick.
  • @alexalexiev3629
    I can only speak for myself. I am gluten intolerant. Stopping gluten saved my life.

    I recently adopted a Wheat ( Gluten ) free diet after years of being a physical and Emotional Wreck always fatigued, and it's the best thing I ever did.

    This doctor is a genius. Everyone should listen to him, at least try it for few weeks. You will see the difference.

    I had IBS really bad. A friend of mine suggested that I remove gluten from my diet (her doctor was a holistic and natural doctor/nutritionist) who explained to her what gluten does to people. I removed wheat/gluten from my diet in January 2021 and went 5 months without it. I felt a million times better and my IBS was gone. I recently added gluten back to my diet to see what would happen. I went right back to bloating, constipation, sharp a abdominal pain, diarrhea, headaches and low energy. I removed it again 2 weeks ago and I feel so much better now and I can actually take a proper SH*T everyday! Removing gluten is the best thing I’ve ever done for myself, besides quitting smoking.
  • My dog has a gluten allergy, noticed after he broke out in a rash and started scratching all the time. Had to switch him to grain free food, he's better now.
  • eating wheat causes me to have joint pain. Now, I look at bread, pasta as PAIN 😫
  • I can’t agree more I am a nurse of over 40 yrs and have almost turned my back on the the medical pharmaceutical model. I’ve turned around numerous health issues and lost 20kg and maintained my weight for the first time in my life. I’m passionate about this topic!
  • @randytyson755
    Dr. Davis should be commended for telling the truth!

    I’m an adult with Aspergers and when I switched my diet and cut out gluten, dairy, & sugar, my sensitivity to sounds, light, touch, ability to cope with stress, as well as my anxiety, went way down to like nothing. I heard about it from Chris Kresser on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Anyone with ASD or a kid who has it should look into this.

    Even with no noticeable symptoms, giving up wheat improved how I felt, less hungry. more energy etc. and I couldn't figure recently why all my trousers wont quite stay up round my waist. Prove it to yourself, its worth it.
  • He shouldn't have said their are no candy or candy bar withdrawal symptoms. Sugar is a big addictive for many people.
  • @msgreeneyesexy
    my whole life has changed since listening to William Davis.....bought the book...bought the cookbook......lost weight(was never over weight...but lost alot of inches in my waist area........feel fabulous...
  • I was eating salads and meat for 2 weeks. I was running in the morning and evening for a few hours. One day I got emotionally disturbed and had wheat cookies and porige. Next day, I couldn't jog and couldn't even walk for half a time I did previously. Eating salads and stoping sugar and wheat has increased my capacity to jog and excersise gradually, but starting wheat again had a reverse effect just in One Day.

    Love this man. All my health issues disappeared following his advice.
  • @LetitbeLetit

  • @Tysonbax
    I didn't know the difference between hunger and wheat addiction until i stopped ingesting wheat. Now i absolutely know the difference and losing weight isn't an isssue, that and i feel amazing :)

    I have been on 4 High Blood Pressure meds since i was 34. I am fit and my total cholesterol was really good. My doctors could not understand why my BP was so high at that age. The 4 meds got the BP down to around 130/84. I was supposed to be on these meds for the rest of my life. On my 50th birthday , i decided to experiment by giving up sugar , milk and wheat one at a time. When i gave up wheat, my blood pressure suddenly dropped to 112/76. Not even the 4 meds could give me those figures. I concluded that my BP problems must have been caused by the wheat and my body was naturally fighting it off hence my high BP. I stopped my meds for two days and my BP did not go up, went without the meds for a week and still had BP around 120/80. I now take a blend of flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, goji berries with my homemade coconut milk for breakfast and my BP is constantly below 120/84, my skin looks younger ,my brain is clearer and cholesterol is great.
