I cut out bread, rice, noodles, potatoes, and sugar. I was 200 lbs in February 2024. I'm 158 lbs now, August 2024. My cholesterol is HIGH. My Dr. Made me sign a release because I refused cholesterol lowering meds. My A1c went down from pre-diabetes level to below pre-diabetes level. I'm a 13 year colorectal cancer survivor. I'm scheduled for a colonoscopy in 2 days. I've been eating lots of sauerkraut😊

Thank you so much for this interview! I was a nurse for 21 years (69-90) and left bc nothing made sense--with all the advancements in technology and new discoveries, majority of doctors did not advance so the status quo remained and no one was getting better-- just surviving on MAINTANCE DRUGS--the older the patients got, the more medications they were put on.

Just want to thank you for bringing Dr Davis on. I have the family cholesterol that seems to be resistant to every diet I have e tried. I refuse to take statins and when I tried to explain about the tiny ldl and the fluffy one to my dr she became angry with me I don’t think she understood what I was talking about. And then said if you don’t take the statins you are going to drop dead with a heart attack. She’s not the first dr to tell me that. I’m 75. Have had high cholesterol all my life as all my family members have. I have looked into studies about it. I have recently started to eliminate grains from my diet mainly to reduce the arthritis I suffer from so it will be interesting to see how high my cholesterol is next visit. Wonderful talk by Dr Davis. Thank you. As a side note my heart is fine
My last checkup at the doctor was a few months ago. My blood pressure and blood sugar were fine. My cholesterol was 279. The doctor tells me he wants to start me on a low dose cholesterol medication. I says to him no thanks. He says your cholesterol shouldn't be higher than 200. He says to me what are you eating that your cholesterol is so high. I said red meat, eggs, and full fat dairy. He says to me all that stuff is going to kill you. I told him I'm staying away from carbs and sugar. He says sugar isn't really a problem. ,😂😂😂. He says to me just eat whatever you want and watch your portions. I couldn't help but laugh. He told me that he lost 40 lbs by eating whatever he wants and watching his portions. But even so, he didn't even look that healthy. My parents go to a cardiologist. And the cardiologist tells them to stay away from red meat, eggs, and full fat dairy. And he put my father on a cholesterol medication because his cholesterol was 230. I keep telling my parents high cholesterol is not dangerous. They don't want to listen
Sugar is not a problem but if u r healthy, it will be their checkbooks’ problem big time!!! They don’t want u to die, but they want u a bit sick so that u have to come back to them and get more and more prescriptions until the day you die🤷♀️
I'm 53 yrs, the latest checked up Jul 2, 2024 Total cal 323 Hdl 136 Tryg 42 Ldl 206 The doctor want me to take statin, but I asked him to give me 3months and let's see what it would be. 😂😂😂
@@MsBuffalopooHey, my sons doctor told him the very same thing. My son is type 2 diabetes. Eats tons of sugar, crazy. He put my son on cholesterol tablets, and ozempic!!! Along withfour other medications. I'm furious with the doctor!!! My son won't listen to me!
This Cardiologist is brilliant! I worked as a CCRN for 30 years caring for all kinds of cardiac patients. My total cholesterol even at age 30 and running half marathons was always in the 259 range. But my ratio of HDl and LDL was excellent and my triglycerides have never been elevated so even though my doctors have suggested me going on a statin for the last 30 years, I refused. I did agree to take a CT for calcium check and I was clear! I just wish more of my friends would believe me! Thank you so much for reinforcing my understanding. Of course, we are prisoners of “average” , “normal” lab values and we can’t do much about that but we can try to eat healthier.
All of my labs are great except my LDL has always been high, turns out I carry the Apoe4 gene which does cause high LDL which increases my overall total cholesterol
Dr Davis' book Wheat Belly, is what got me started on the low carb path -about 12 years ago, and it took a couple of years to kick in. Several other people along the way have been helpful, Ben Bikman, Ken Berry, Robert Lustig, and many others, but I will always appreciate Dr Davis work. Edit: BTW, I had the NMR -Nuclear Magnetic Resonance test (NMR is now called MRI Magnetic Resonance Imaging, as he mentioned), and it really shows the picture of LDL, HDL, TGL, and insulin resistance/insulin sensitivity very clearly. I showed it to a cardiologist friend and he had never seen one.
27:25 "does things like Drive weight gain, especially in the abdomen high blood pressure risk for dementia cognitive impairment rosacea psoriasis eczema depression anxiety fibromyalgia sleep apnea it's either a exaggerating amplifying agent or initiating factor in literally hundreds if not thousands of modern health conditions not being addressed by most doctors ."
My lipids, including the extended, lipid profile are all beautiful. And yet My cardiologist insisted on ordering statins for me. I threw them in the trash. My electrophysiologist rolled his eyes when I asked for an extended lipid panel. I stay on an animal based ketogenic diet and that seems to work well for me. Keep fighting the good fight.
8:34 If one slice of pizza every Friday is the guy's bad day per week, he's doing better than about 99.9% of people who have a bad day while eating healthy every other day of the week. I have been ketovore for over a year and plan to stay on it for good, but my old "bad days" before ketovore were an entire large pizza myself, along with either cake, pie, pastries, ice cream, etc. 😆. Those days are long gone, and it's ketovore from here on.
My oral microbiome was absolutely terrible, gum disease for years. When I stopped using mouthwash and now use natural paste along with a strict Carnivore lifestyle my gum disease went away after 45 years. And much of my plague actually disolved.
As someone who has been arguing with my doctor for years about my mildly high LDL, I absolutely love this video! I've been taking D3, magnesium & iodine for years but will now add fish oil. Thank you.
What did I miss? I thought his strong preference was fish oil. Currently I am taking krill oil. Several caps per day and twice (x 2-4 caps) per day. I did it for the phospholipids, but the EPA/DHA is very low. Much lower than good fish oils.
@@chaymaem1658 For me? I started eliminating grains in October, also I started the yogurt Dr. Davis talked about. and three months after, my sleep apnea disappeared. Then I adopted the carnivore diet, and I've been on it since. I no longer take the immunosuppressant medication I was on for autoimmune disease. I'm very thankful for his book Super Gut.
Wow! You definately picked Dr. Davis s brain. I learned so much and can't wait to check out his books and supplements. Such a pleasure to hear a Doctor speak the truth.
I surmise the answer is to avoid foods or other things that will lead to metabolic dysfunction. Avoid grains and fructose near totally. Fatty ruminant meat in abundance
How can we get in touch with Dr. Davis? I am an MD who finally realized why I was so discouraged being a "health professional". I saw the cognitive dissonance but I couldn't put the whole picture together until I heard people such as Dr. Davis, Dr. Casey Means, Dr. Ken Berry and others show me the big picture. Also my own health was suffering, and all I was offered was SSRI's, because all my labs were "normal" as well my weight and CV fitness.

Great interview! If you have Dr. Davis back, would you ask him to comment on the role of animal fats and protein on myelination of electro-cardio regulation? Also, since mitochondria dysfunction is currently a big focus in nutritional investigation, how he perceives fructose and fruit as a part of the human diet?
I've lived long enough to see the risky foods go almost full circle as well as what's considered healthy. I'm not jumping on any band wagons anymore. My mom is 101, my dad lived to 98, neither of them was particular about what they ate or followed advice of foody gurus. Life, so far as I can see, remains inexplicable.
Great discussion without getting bogged down in technical overload. Jammed packed with useful info on key supplements. Debunks some old myths as well. Thank you fir a great video.
Calcium from vegetables isn't a good bioavailable source Vegetables high in calcium tend to be high in oxalates. Oxalates bind calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc so you cant absorb them.
With all due respect I've been a vegetarian for decades now and although my Vit. D levels were catastrophically low (am taking supplements for that), my doctor was amazed that my calcium was still spot on. Many years ago I took someone's advice, that sprinkling sesame seeds on a lot of my foods would ensure good calcium levels. So, I disagree, but also wish that Dr.'s also encouraged patients to get more sunshine, which has way more benefits to health than just Vit. D, & I feel that we've all been scared to go in the sun because we've associated it with bad things. It can also have huge benefits, re. our circadian rhythms etc. Obviously sitting out in the sun with no protection for hours until you go red IS not wise, but fresh air & sunshine should be encouraged more, as long as you're not 'baking' yourself under the sun just to get a 'tan'.
Serious question regarding this test. A CAC, cardiac calcium score does not tell if you have hit plaque or soft plaque. Or how much. … The big problem is that it does not tell how much sift plaque. I get this from other doctors who are doing good work helping people with heart/artery health.
I save any bones from chicken and lamb freeze. Then I would buy oxtails and add all together and slow cook for 4 hours. A handful of peas and finely sliced onion. Couple of stock cubes and tasty and nutricious.
I’m 75 now and it seems I’m very intolerant of hot weather. I stood out talking to someone for more than 30 minutes one time and I started to feel faint and I just barely perspired. So I started taking more vitamin D at night before I went to bed vitamin D3.
Those symptoms could be an over active thyroid. I have graves disease and intolerance to heat and feeling faint are symptoms of that disease. Ask your doctor to check your T3 and T4 levels.
Simple question but important what type of toothpaste is best? I know antibacterial and added fluoride aren’t good. Thanks so much. Love this site so much😉🤓
Best info I have heard yet! Finally an explanation or the actions of VLDL. Sounds like starches are out of the question or complex sugars also. And placing very small limits on Carb intake.
This episode is so energetic and info-filled it's almost overwhelming. I wish we had a Dr William Davis nearby here in the UK. So informing and motivating thank you and Dr Davis for this brilliantly formed piece. I really need the help and your presentation has encouraged me, and given me a sense of self-empowerment. His statement that we have the power to manage our own heart health is so motivating and comforting. I just need to find an alternative to whole grains bread 😏Thank you.
The alternative to whole grain bread is ELIMINATE BREAD ! 😊 Or, start making egg white bread recipes. There are many versions here on RUclips. Look up Indigo Nili.
Sourdough bread is healthy. The fermentation process removes phytates which block mineral absorption and lower gluten significantly. Sourdough bread stabilizes blood sugar for 24 hours. If you get a starter you can make sourdough pizza which is really tasty.
Dr. Davis, I trust this finds you, have listened to your explanation in the context of cardiac diseases and I think you are very right. Have also listened to other cardiologists views, it makes people get confused, I take this opportunity to most sincerely thank you so much for highlighting the real causes ot cardiac diseases. Please continue the awareness, it helps when people get the right information of the real issues, and the actual causes of cardiac diseases. Once again many thanks indeed.

@@jessyanthony1352Not much. Heavy metals accumulate in large fish that have more time to grow and take it in. Eat sardines and small fatty fish such as herring, mackerel, etc. Those are not even farmed.
❤ thank you so much for your honesty all the information thats going to help so many people. My cardiologist wanted to place me stitins and i refused because I am very well aware what they do to your bones my cousin is younger than me and her bones are destroyed and so is my Aunt and other people that i know. Its not easy because doctors feel you are clueless. So i stop going to the cardiologist because he insisted that i take meds. ❤
Wow Jesse, fabulous interview. Love the genius of Dr. Davis. As usual, you had great questions to draw it out. Too bad he didn’t cover the new data about what’s called the “CAC Paradox.” This is cutting-edge data out of JACC (American College of Cardiology, top cardiology school on the planet) and Cleveland Clinic (ranked #1 globally for cardiovascular care) where they labeled this - the CAC Paradox/ It’s so new he may not know about it yet. The Dr. John Rumberger criteria Dr. Davis brought up is from back in 2008. CAC Paradox is a counter-intuitive process where a person gets a CAC score of say 600, proceeds on a successful lifestyle change (drops weight, eats better, working out, all blood markers fantastically better, etc.) and their score goes UP, not down! This new data shows that’s a GOOD thing. To be clear, it wasn’t a paradox to the researchers and doctors, but they knew it would be puzzling for patients. The patient has stabilized their soft, inflamed, dangerous plaque which IS the cause of heart attacks and strokes. I quote Cleveland Clinic “The CAC (Coronary Artery Calcium) score is like the tip of an iceberg, whereas the soft plaque is what’s under the surface. What’s really dangerous is the soft plaque, and estimates reflect an approximately four times as much soft plaque present as hard, or calcified, plaque.” That means your subsequent CAC score can go from 600 to 2,400 and you are actually BETTER and out of danger. You’ve turned your soft, unstable, inflamed, and dangerous plaque into stable, non-dangerous, calcified plaque. This was also confirmed in another new study from JAMA Cardiology titled “The Importance of Coronary Artery Calcium Density.” So don’t freak out if your score goes UP instead of down after getting healthier. I was fortunate to get this new science into my book prior to publication. (Chapter 19) Again, fabulous job Jesse!!!
True. But, our ancestors ate large ruminant animals. These animals nutrition profile was very different from today's cow that end their life in feed lots. For example, Omega 3 in a cow today is miniscule if it is grain finished. Thus, you need to eat other food to get any serious amount of Omega 3.
Feedlot animals are filled to the brim with stress hormones, growth hormones, antibiotics and fed a very poor diet to maximise profits. Buy pasture raised if your pocket will allow it.
Good discussion. Not sure what to think of if all. A lot to process, but good food for thought. Over the last 5 years I've changed my diet for the better, but still have unhealthy eating habits. Staying on task is the challenge. Also, light weight lifting 4 days a week. The challenge is to be consistent. I take D3, K2, Magnesium, CoQ10, B-Complex, Zinc, daily. Vitamin C 3x weekly, and Iron 1x a week. I also take 10 g of Creatine and Chicken Collagen daily, and a drop of 2% Iodine. As a 70 year old male, on the whole, I feel and look better for my age than when I was 50. Grateful!
my cholesterol 450 with statins227 did 20 yrs on statins im almost crippled with pain so i stopped stains gonna work on sugar intake taking multivitamin omega3 d3withk2 gonna see how i do
There's so much good information here. First time I've seen Dr. William Davis and I'm a new fan. I have done so much research on the fish oil question and have finally landed that I should focus on getting it from salmon and sardines because the chance of oxidation for even the "good" fish oils is so high. (Dr. Berry, Dr. Chaffee, Dr. Shanahan, PubMed). So to hear Dr. Davis say oxidation or rancid supplements is really not an issue anymore makes me put my hands on my forehead. So much conflicting info from credible doctors and researchers. Also, 3 grams of DHA/EPA is HUGE. That's a lot of daily capsules based on how much DHA/EPA is in your average supplement. What to do?? (Love Dr. Davis' enthusiasm, btw!)
Just look up the subject. There are some studies that shiw 70 percen of the fish oils are rancid. Others, using a different method show 70 percent are not rancid. It appears that the method used to determine rancidity is the key. But even if the cooprrect number is 70 percent rancidity, what about the other 30 percent? The people supporting that number never ask that question and personally, I am suspect of the ethics and honesty of many of those people. Nevertheless, I try to get my Omegas from fish.
Just started taking 1teaspoon of organic certified protected dulse flakes, product nutritional facts say one tablespoon 426 mcgs is 284 percent again I'm only taking one teaspoon . Found this podcast at the right time !! Thank you for a great conversation 😊😊
I've been watching your interviews a lot lately Jesse, brilliant and informative, I've shared often. Thanks for what you do, it's really helpful, keep it up ❤
Fruit is all genetically modified to be sweeter and will induce sugar spikes. They’re also heavily spayed with pesticides. I’m not an expert, but I now avoid fruit. I used to eat lots of super sweet grapes. Not anymore
That is so weird , I do exactly those four supplements everyday. I do 325mcg of iodine from kelp in a pill not from the Lugols. I used to use Lugols which tasted nasty. I also do K2 with my VitD. I also do vitamin A and B12 twice a week. I love and use tons of Himalayan Salt, it's the bomb.
@@ianstuart5660not me. I was deficient and any time I took iodine or kelp supplements, my thyroid gland swelled up very painfully. I started to suspect "Hashimoto's." But I started Lugol's about 2 months ago and have ZERO negative side effects!
Dr Davis what you've said about calcium tabs is interesting. Few years back a close friend told me her inlaw (male) died suddenly. Autopsy showed he had calcified arteries. He was taking calcium tabs. Same friend worked with female who had the same condition but luckily cardiologist diagnosed it. Not sure what her outcome was.
Thank you Dr Davis for this information that has put my mind at ease about my cholesterol. I refuse to take Statin drugs. I am taking the supplements that you recommend.😄❤❤
This was a fantastic interview-great questions and even better answers!! Really learned so much and confirmed my choices. Two years ago, I heard a talk by Dr. Robert Lustig and that changed everything for me. I completely eliminated all Ulta process food, sugar, and alcohol.. it’s been easy and have not missed anything! I’m so happy to hear more beating the drum of ultra processed food/sugar problems and confirming my choices!🩷 I really appreciated the supplement number recommendations, dosing, etc. that was very helpful! I plan on checking out my supplements on consumer labs too! Thank you again for a wonderful interview! This was outstanding, very enjoyable and easy to listen to.
I’m 75 now and it seems I’m very intolerant of hot weather. I stood out talking to someone for more than 30 minutes one time and I started to feel faint and I just barely perspired.
Drink electrolytes. 72 YO F. I am very low carb. My entire wellbeing improved dramatically when I started to add a tsp of salt to my water at least twice per day I also take potassium and magnesium supplements. Some people need less salt, but I need more. Also a good quality salt like Redmonds
My blood test last week came back with a TSH= 21.4 😳 ...and you say 18 is super high? ...could that be the reason why my LDL is 599, HDL 126, Trig. 67? My T3 uptake 25, T4 6.5 seemed in the normal ranges. I don't trust regular doctors😢 I was taking 6 drops 2% Lugols, and lowered to 2 drops after my test results. I also eat 1 or 2 cans of sardines daily.
I take magnesium at night and it has help with my sleep 😴 i have a huge issue trying to fall asleep this issue is not new i have always since I was a little girl never slept more then 5 to 6 hrs. I am older retired and I truly need more sleep and magnesium has honestly helped me stay asleep.

I have been ketovore for over a year and plan to stay on it for good, but my old "bad days" before ketovore were an entire large pizza myself, along with either cake, pie, pastries, ice cream, etc. 😆. Those days are long gone, and it's ketovore from here on.
William Davis is a great thinker. He started me on my health journey more than 5 years ago. Great advice, common sense. Pay attention
Great interview/interviewer. Thanks for letting him speak and then refocusing on what we can do for ourselves. Really great method.
💙
Damn, this doc is outstanding when it comes to explaining the basics of achieving metabolic health...as good as I've seen, and I've seen a lot.
Better than many! 😊
My oral microbiome was absolutely terrible, gum disease for years. When I stopped using mouthwash and now use natural paste along with a strict Carnivore lifestyle my gum disease went away after 45 years. And much of my plague actually disolved.
Excellent, I've heard very similar stories very often!
I also quit mouthwash and fluoride and 8 months into carnivore. I switch between charcoal and mineral powders!!! Love them both!! ❤✌🏼
@@thesuev7621 So has your oral health improved?
Oregano and rosemary oil in coconut oil base as a toothpaste and seasalt in water as a mouthwash....
Gymnema sylvestra powder as toothpowder...
Yay Dr Davis - ‘Supergut’ is the only book I’ve packed to move to my new home.
I’m a real Lactobacillus fan!!
Lovely to see you here.
Doctor Davis is the best doctor in the world bar none.
I learn so much from Dr. Davis and I am an MD...A gynecologist so not in my field but I love this doctor
@@christinecollins4105I love your humility and integrity!!
I go to a heart doctor for PVCs. My colesterol was high. He didnt jump and put me on meds. He did put me on magnesium for PVCs. Not all docs jump.
Hi what form of magnesium, thanks?
Dr Davis is brilliant and so very enjoyable to listen to; so much info is packed in this video ~ thank you
Brilliant. Glad to see Phil Davis in his element.
Illiam Davis, Cardiologist
As someone who has been arguing with my doctor for years about my mildly high LDL, I absolutely love this video! I've been taking D3, magnesium & iodine for years but will now add fish oil. Thank you.
What did I miss?
I thought his strong preference was fish oil.
Currently I am taking krill oil.
Several caps per day and twice (x 2-4 caps) per day.
I did it for the
phospholipids,
but the EPA/DHA is very low.
Much lower than good fish oils.
@glenntimberlake2413 ooops, that's what I meant. Not Krill oil!
Great interview with excellent doctor. Very informative on cardiovascular health & overall homeostasis.. bringing him back would be highly advisable.
Oh my Dr. David is extremely brilliant thank you for sharing this information!
I see 3 books behind Dr Davis that i read way back when i was first diagnosed with gluten (& dairy) intolerance. Excellent books.
Dr Davis saved my gut!!
He saved mine too!
Hi, Great news, do you follow strictly the diet and how long it took for you to heal ? 🌸
@@chaymaem1658 For me? I started eliminating grains in October, also I started the yogurt Dr. Davis talked about. and three months after, my sleep apnea disappeared. Then I adopted the carnivore diet, and I've been on it since. I no longer take the immunosuppressant medication I was on for autoimmune disease. I'm very thankful for his book Super Gut.
A few months before my dad died of heart attack, he told me how his cholesterol was low. 😮
Wow! You definately picked Dr. Davis s brain. I learned so much and can't wait to check out his books and supplements. Such a pleasure to hear a Doctor speak the truth.
One of the most informative videos I have watched in a long time. Thank you.
💙
Jessie, you are an excellent interviewer. Thank you.
It's good to see Dr. Davis talk about something different than bread...
Talk about how to create the large fluffy LDLs as opposed to the small very dense LDL. We want to displace the small ones.
I surmise the answer is to avoid foods or other things that will lead to metabolic dysfunction. Avoid grains and fructose near totally. Fatty ruminant meat in abundance
Dead good session, so informative and Jesse is great at drawing out those nuggets of wisdom
Jesse, you are skilled at keeping these speakers on topic.
Thanks 🙏🏻
How can we get in touch with Dr. Davis?
I am an MD who finally realized why I was so discouraged being a "health professional". I saw the cognitive dissonance but I couldn't put the whole picture together until I heard people such as Dr. Davis, Dr. Casey Means, Dr. Ken Berry and others show me the big picture. Also my own health was suffering, and all I was offered was SSRI's, because all my labs were "normal" as well my weight and CV fitness.
40% People may have MTHFR and be low Metabolises, MAY have Cytochrome p450. And have High Homocysteine..
correct MINERALS- ✔️zinc- Copper- Iodine- potassium- MAGNESIUM.. calcium from food Balance
women from 35, All hormones lower, Many develop Depression. From these lowering hormones. And low Vit D 3… And imbalance of Biome/ Omega 3.. minerals.. Water soluble Vitamins..,
So do Men From 40.. instead of Anti- Depressants.. we need Correct Healthy Biome .. magnesium ✔️
Correct VIT D. And correct Folate blood level Plays a MAJOR role.. with preventing Pre- Eclampsia- Miscarriages
- High Homocysteine.. ( MTHFR) needs folate (not Folic acid) and all other B vits.. to Assist.. !
His website
Love me some Dr. Davis
Great interview! If you have Dr. Davis back, would you ask him to comment on the role of animal fats and protein on myelination of electro-cardio regulation? Also, since mitochondria dysfunction is currently a big focus in nutritional investigation, how he perceives fructose and fruit as a part of the human diet?
I've lived long enough to see the risky foods go almost full circle as well as what's considered healthy. I'm not jumping on any band wagons anymore. My mom is 101, my dad lived to 98, neither of them was particular about what they ate or followed advice of foody gurus. Life, so far as I can see, remains inexplicable.
Back in the day...our food wasn't processed or contaminated.
Great video Jesse and Dr Davis. Thank you very much! 👍😃
Just a plethora of information! Does it have to end? Just such a wonderful guest that broke down all I need to know about risks. Thank you so much!
Thank you both so much for this incredible conversation!!!
Great discussion without getting bogged down in technical overload. Jammed packed with useful info on key supplements. Debunks some old myths as well. Thank you fir a great video.
Calcium from vegetables isn't a good bioavailable source Vegetables high in calcium tend to be high in oxalates. Oxalates bind calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc so you cant absorb them.
With all due respect I've been a vegetarian for decades now and although my Vit. D levels were catastrophically low (am taking supplements for that), my doctor was amazed that my calcium was still spot on. Many years ago I took someone's advice, that sprinkling sesame seeds on a lot of my foods would ensure good calcium levels. So, I disagree, but also wish that Dr.'s also encouraged patients to get more sunshine, which has way more benefits to health than just Vit. D, & I feel that we've all been scared to go in the sun because we've associated it with bad things. It can also have huge benefits, re. our circadian rhythms etc. Obviously sitting out in the sun with no protection for hours until you go red IS not wise, but fresh air & sunshine should be encouraged more, as long as you're not 'baking' yourself under the sun just to get a 'tan'.
Serious question regarding this test.
A CAC, cardiac calcium score does not tell if you have hit plaque or soft plaque. Or how much.
… The big problem is that it does not tell how much sift plaque.
I get this from other doctors who are doing good work helping people with heart/artery health.
Great interview, Dr. Davis made it simple and understandable. Thank you
I save any bones from chicken and lamb freeze. Then I would buy oxtails and add all together and slow cook for 4 hours. A handful of peas and finely sliced onion. Couple of stock cubes and tasty and nutricious.
Bone broth
I’m 75 now and it seems I’m very intolerant of hot weather. I stood out talking to someone for more than 30 minutes one time and I started to feel faint and I just barely perspired. So I started taking more vitamin D at night before I went to bed vitamin D3.
Those symptoms could be an over active thyroid. I have graves disease and intolerance to heat and feeling faint are symptoms of that disease. Ask your doctor to check your T3 and T4 levels.
Would Love to see this Dr. debate Dr Brownstein on iodine. I'm definitely in the Brownstein camp.
I took large doses of Lugols iodine on that protocol and kicked out the largest amount of lead they had ever seen.
Great podcast and really enjoyed the explanation of how food especially carbs and sugar gets broken down inside the body.
Simple question but important what type of toothpaste is best? I know antibacterial and added fluoride aren’t good. Thanks so much. Love this site so much😉🤓
great discussion - you have to admit, William does have good skin for someone over 60
This is an extremely informative video thanks.
Best info I have heard yet! Finally an explanation or the actions of VLDL. Sounds like starches are out of the question or complex sugars also. And placing very small limits on Carb intake.
Awesome video. Thanks for what you do!
Love this Doctor as he does NOT support and push the GLP1 nonsense
This episode is so energetic and info-filled it's almost overwhelming. I wish we had a Dr William Davis nearby here in the UK. So informing and motivating thank you and Dr Davis for this brilliantly formed piece. I really need the help and your presentation has encouraged me, and given me a sense of self-empowerment. His statement that we have the power to manage our own heart health is so motivating and comforting. I just need to find an alternative to whole grains bread 😏Thank you.
The alternative to whole grain bread is ELIMINATE BREAD ! 😊 Or, start making egg white bread recipes. There are many versions here on RUclips. Look up Indigo Nili.
Sourdough bread is healthy. The fermentation process removes phytates which block mineral absorption and lower gluten significantly. Sourdough bread stabilizes blood sugar for 24 hours. If you get a starter you can make sourdough pizza which is really tasty.
Dr. Davis,
I trust this finds you, have listened to your explanation in the context of cardiac diseases and I think you are very right.
Have also listened to other cardiologists views, it makes people get confused, I take this opportunity to most sincerely thank you so much for highlighting the real causes ot cardiac diseases.
Please continue the awareness, it helps when people get the right information of the real issues, and the actual causes of cardiac diseases.
Once again many thanks indeed.

Excellent interview! There is so much valuable information.
I use Solgar Omega 3 and I eat sardines and wild salmon a few times a week.
Yummm!
Too much heavy metal
love sardines, they have the highest cheapest Omegas
@@NicHe-df8jchow heavy metals in sardines?
@@jessyanthony1352Not much. Heavy metals accumulate in large fish that have more time to grow and take it in. Eat sardines and small fatty fish such as herring, mackerel, etc. Those are not even farmed.
❤ thank you so much for your honesty all the information thats going to help so many people. My cardiologist wanted to place me stitins and i refused because I am very well aware what they do to your bones my cousin is younger than me and her bones are destroyed and so is my Aunt and other people that i know. Its not easy because doctors feel you are clueless. So i stop going to the cardiologist because he insisted that i take meds. ❤
Wow Jesse, fabulous interview. Love the genius of Dr. Davis. As usual, you had great questions to draw it out.
Too bad he didn’t cover the new data about what’s called the “CAC Paradox.”
This is cutting-edge data out of JACC (American College of Cardiology, top cardiology school on the planet) and Cleveland Clinic (ranked #1 globally for cardiovascular care) where they labeled this - the CAC Paradox/ It’s so new he may not know about it yet. The Dr. John Rumberger criteria Dr. Davis brought up is from back in 2008.
CAC Paradox is a counter-intuitive process where a person gets a CAC score of say 600, proceeds on a successful lifestyle change (drops weight, eats better, working out, all blood markers fantastically better, etc.) and their score goes UP, not down! This new data shows that’s a GOOD thing.
To be clear, it wasn’t a paradox to the researchers and doctors, but they knew it would be puzzling for patients. The patient has stabilized their soft, inflamed, dangerous plaque which IS the cause of heart attacks and strokes.
I quote Cleveland Clinic “The CAC (Coronary Artery Calcium) score is like the tip of an iceberg, whereas the soft plaque is what’s under the surface. What’s really dangerous is the soft plaque, and estimates reflect an approximately four times as much soft plaque present as hard, or calcified, plaque.”
That means your subsequent CAC score can go from 600 to 2,400 and you are actually BETTER and out of danger. You’ve turned your soft, unstable, inflamed, and dangerous plaque into stable, non-dangerous, calcified plaque.
This was also confirmed in another new study from JAMA Cardiology titled “The Importance of Coronary Artery Calcium Density.”
So don’t freak out if your score goes UP instead of down after getting healthier.
I was fortunate to get this new science into my book prior to publication. (Chapter 19)
Again, fabulous job Jesse!!!
Loved when he said “u dont have sweet tooth - u have wheat tooth!”. Lol
Don't cook with seed oils and cut sugar out .Eat animal fat and meat.Thats the only things your ancesters were eating maybe a few fruits in seasons.
True. But, our ancestors ate large ruminant animals. These animals nutrition profile was very different from today's cow that end their life in feed lots. For example, Omega 3 in a cow today is miniscule if it is grain finished. Thus, you need to eat other food to get any serious amount of Omega 3.
Dr Berry and Dr Chaffee said the omega 3s wasn't that much lower in grain finished beef.
Feedlot animals are filled to the brim with stress hormones, growth hormones, antibiotics and fed a very poor diet to maximise profits.
Buy pasture raised if your pocket will allow it.
Thanks. Dr. William Davis is amazing.
Good discussion. Not sure what to think of if all. A lot to process, but good food for thought.
Over the last 5 years I've changed my diet for the better, but still have unhealthy eating habits. Staying on task is the challenge.
Also, light weight lifting 4 days a week. The challenge is to be consistent.
I take D3, K2, Magnesium, CoQ10, B-Complex, Zinc, daily. Vitamin C 3x weekly, and Iron 1x a week. I also take 10 g of Creatine and Chicken Collagen daily, and a drop of 2% Iodine.
As a 70 year old male, on the whole, I feel and look better for my age than when I was 50.
Grateful!
This was one of the most informative and well explained videos about all these issues! Thank you very much! I learned a lot!!
my cholesterol 450 with statins227 did 20 yrs on statins im almost crippled with pain so i stopped stains gonna work on sugar intake taking multivitamin omega3 d3withk2 gonna see how i do
I cut out all grains for the last 10 years. RARELY do I consume any grain. MAYBE once a year.
A remarkable and important discussion. Thank you very much!
There's so much good information here. First time I've seen Dr. William Davis and I'm a new fan. I have done so much research on the fish oil question and have finally landed that I should focus on getting it from salmon and sardines because the chance of oxidation for even the "good" fish oils is so high. (Dr. Berry, Dr. Chaffee, Dr. Shanahan, PubMed). So to hear Dr. Davis say oxidation or rancid supplements is really not an issue anymore makes me put my hands on my forehead. So much conflicting info from credible doctors and researchers. Also, 3 grams of DHA/EPA is HUGE. That's a lot of daily capsules based on how much DHA/EPA is in your average supplement. What to do?? (Love Dr. Davis' enthusiasm, btw!)
Just look up the subject. There are some studies that shiw 70 percen of the fish oils are rancid. Others, using a different method show 70 percent are not rancid. It appears that the method used to determine rancidity is the key. But even if the cooprrect number is 70 percent rancidity, what about the other 30 percent? The people supporting that number never ask that question and personally, I am suspect of the ethics and honesty of many of those people.
Nevertheless, I try to get my Omegas from fish.
@@kronos77 Thanks for your comments and insight. Much appreciated!
Just started taking 1teaspoon of organic certified protected dulse flakes, product nutritional facts say one tablespoon 426 mcgs is 284 percent again I'm only taking one teaspoon . Found this podcast at the right time !! Thank you for a great conversation 😊😊
Love your show Jesse - u are an amazing interviewer.
This is an extremely informational video!
Great video
I've been watching your interviews a lot lately Jesse, brilliant and informative, I've shared often. Thanks for what you do, it's really helpful, keep it up ❤
Thanks Jesse, I love your podcast and I'm a pharmacist. 😊
I don't have a cardiologist but if I did, I would want a You Tube cardiologist. My umpteenth doctor is brain dead just like the ones before.
Me too. I would pick Dr Nadir Ali.
I’d like to get the name of the Japanese company with the marine collagen. Also the weight loss supplement. Thank you.
Thank Dr. William Davis! RUclips is so full of manipulation and “influencers” SuperGut really helped me. Kind regards!
Dr William a Great trueman because who revealed the hidden truth.
I love Dr will and he like.
Explained so well 👌
Can you eat fruit or is that part of the sugar avoidance?
Fruit is all genetically modified to be sweeter and will induce sugar spikes. They’re also heavily spayed with pesticides. I’m not an expert, but I now avoid fruit. I used to eat lots of super sweet grapes. Not anymore
That is so weird , I do exactly those four supplements everyday. I do 325mcg of iodine from kelp in a pill not from the Lugols. I used to use Lugols which tasted nasty. I also do K2 with my VitD. I also do vitamin A and B12 twice a week. I love and use tons of Himalayan Salt, it's the bomb.
You find the Kelp just as good as using the Lugols?
@@ianstuart5660not me. I was deficient and any time I took iodine or kelp supplements, my thyroid gland swelled up very painfully. I started to suspect "Hashimoto's." But I started Lugol's about 2 months ago and have ZERO negative side effects!
@@ianstuart5660 IDK, I don't feel different with either one. I use it as a preventative measure.
@@andredaedone5
OK, thanks!
I had bad. Stomachs, blood in faeces and real discomfort feeling down there, I took mega doses of iodine for a year now it's all gone.
Outstanding info thank you so much for all that you do
Dr Davis what you've said about calcium tabs is interesting. Few years back a close friend told me her inlaw (male) died suddenly. Autopsy showed he had calcified arteries. He was taking calcium tabs. Same friend worked with female who had the same condition but luckily cardiologist diagnosed it. Not sure what her outcome was.
K2 is supposed to make calcium go to the bones instead of the arteries.
@@solitairecat1 from memory drs weren't prescribing K2 with calcium about 10+ years ago. Probably do now.
Very interesting. I must watch it again.
Plus: I like his clock I'm sure my mum had one 50 years ago.
But I don't think his is working!
😂
Been married 49 years. Received a clock just like that for a shower gift. Lol Don't have it anymore though.
My fridge always has, or at least try to have, Dr. Davis's yogurt!!!
What does that mean what is Dr Davis's yogurt?
@@Sconzette very strange. I posted the link to his yogurt video and got removed. You could search for Dr Davis SIBO yogurt. It is also on his channel.
@Sconzette the recipe is in Dr Davis's book SUPER GUT.
So blessed to have a doctor that is not concerned with my ldl numbers 🙌 he supports my carnivore lifestyle
Yes, supports your confirmation bias and puts your health at risk. Good luck with that
@@DM-vs8jr I don't rely on luck
Prove it. @@DM-vs8jr
Thank you Dr Davis for this information that has put my mind at ease about my cholesterol. I refuse to take Statin drugs. I am taking the supplements that you recommend.😄❤❤
Thank you! ❤ Dr. William Davis!
This was a fantastic interview-great questions and even better answers!! Really learned so much and confirmed my choices. Two years ago, I heard a talk by Dr. Robert Lustig and that changed everything for me. I completely eliminated all Ulta process food, sugar, and alcohol.. it’s been easy and have not missed anything! I’m so happy to hear more beating the drum of ultra processed food/sugar problems and confirming my choices!🩷
I really appreciated the supplement number recommendations, dosing, etc. that was very helpful!
I plan on checking out my supplements on consumer labs too!
Thank you again for a wonderful interview! This was outstanding, very enjoyable and easy to listen to.
Thank you for this - really good insights
I’m 75 now and it seems I’m very intolerant of hot weather. I stood out talking to someone for more than 30 minutes one time and I started to feel faint and I just barely perspired.
Drink electrolytes. 72 YO F. I am very low carb. My entire wellbeing improved dramatically when I started to add a tsp of salt to my water at least twice per day I also take potassium and magnesium supplements. Some people need less salt, but I need more. Also a good quality salt like Redmonds
Celtic sea salt
My blood test last week came back with a TSH= 21.4 😳 ...and you say 18 is super high? ...could that be the reason why my LDL is 599, HDL 126, Trig. 67?
My T3 uptake 25, T4 6.5 seemed in the normal ranges.
I don't trust regular doctors😢
I was taking 6 drops 2% Lugols, and lowered to 2 drops after my test results. I also eat 1 or 2 cans of sardines daily.
I take magnesium at night and it has help with my sleep 😴 i have a huge issue trying to fall asleep this issue is not new i have always since I was a little girl never slept more then 5 to 6 hrs. I am older retired and I truly need more sleep and magnesium has honestly helped me stay asleep.
