Metabolic Health OG William Davis, MD - #39
Episode description
Can you possibly identify if someone's at risk of a heart attack or cardiac arrest? That question run through Dr. William Davis’ mind when his mother died due to cardiac death. He found the helpful predictor and the most common cause of coronary disease, and it is not cholesterol as we were led to believe. The culprit? Grains and sugars. He counters different notions about health and treatments and addresses the factors that allow the disease to emerge in the first place: diet, lack of nutrients, and disrupted microbiome.
We talked about his transformation from a traditional cardiologist to one of the leading voices in the metabolic health field. We discuss the role of supplements, hormones, and the surprising importance of probiotics in restoring and maintaining metabolic health. We finish up with an unexpected twist - symptom-specific probiota.
