The next Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox Challenge begins Wed April 15th!
Yes, you are practicing social isolation and shelter-in-place during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Low-carb diets: Only the START to regain health and lose weight
While a low-carb diet is an excellent choice to achieve goals such as weight loss, stacking the odds in favor of reversing type 2 diabetes and fatty liver, and beginning the process of reversing skin rashes and autoimmune diseases, you don’t want to make the mistake of ending your efforts at diet alone.
Regardless of the variety of low-carb diet you choose—Atkins, paleo, keto, Wheat Belly, Undoctored, etc.—failure to add several components, especially prebiotic fibers that nourish bowel flora, can limit or even undo all of your health benefits. You can further your success by also addressing common nutri...

The Case of the Bald Baker
Here’s an excerpt from the Revised & Expanded Edition of Wheat Belly, page 184:
I had a heck of a time persuading Gordon to drop the wheat.
I met Gordon because he had coronary disease. Among the causes: abundant small LDL particles along with the usual accompaniments of low HDL, high triglycerides, and high blood sugar. I asked him to completely remove the wheat from his diet in order to reduce or eliminate the small LDL particles and thereby obtain better control over heart health.
Problem: Gordon owned a bakery. Bread, rolls, and muffins were part of his everyday routine, three meals a day, seven days a week. ...

Lonnie and Carrie ’ s Wheat Belly journey
“
Living the Wheat Belly and Undoctored lifestyle will not rid our lives of all adversity. But it can make you stronger, more optimistic, and resilient. Here is Lonnie and Carrie’s story:
“One year ago today, my life changed in unthinkable ways. I discovered the Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox book and read it during my kids’ spring break. I had dabbled in the ‘paleo’ diet world a bit over the last five years with inconsistent success and had some idea about how good I felt when eliminating grains…
“But the protocols in this book seemed to go further then just diet, like addressin...

Travis and Ashley rediscover health and slenderness on the Wheat Belly lifestyle
Ashley convinced her husband, Travis, to join her in following the Wheat Belly lifestyle that began with the Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox. Ashley lost 70 pounds, while Travis experienced both weight loss and health/emotional benefits. Travis elaborates:
“I feel like I have a new lease on life and I feel better than I have ever felt in my entire life (40 years old).
“I started this WOE at 285 lbs on July 21, 2019, so it’s been 8 months and I’m down 65 lbs. It took me a couple months before I finally felt like I had completely detoxed and felt great everyday. It’s a bit overwhelming at first but it all be...

Some unconventional thoughts on coronavirus (COVID-19)
Public health authorities are advising frequent hand washing and social distancing, especially in the absence of confirmatory testing for COVID-19. I don’t have any wisdom to add to these practices. Vaccines are in the works, as are anti-viral drugs—nothing to add here, either.
But let me reiterate what we do in the Wheat Belly and Undoctored lifestyles. In general, we do not treat diseases; we correct the factors that allow disease to emerge in the first place—a big difference.
Take rheumatoid arthritis, for example. In conventional healthcare, the joint pain and swelling of rheumatoid arthritis are sup...

Meet VLDL: The REAL Cause of Heart Disease
Here’s a video from my YouTube channel. (Oh, you didn’t know I had a YouTube channel? You can find almost 300 additional videos there.)
VLDL particles, NOT LDL cholesterol, determine whether heart disease is in your future or not, as VLDL is a pivotal lipoprotein particle that influences the composition of virtually all other lipoprotein particles in the bloodstream.
Statin cholesterol drugs therefore focus on the wrong measure. Good news: You have profound control over VLDL particles and their consequences using nutrition and selected nutritional supplements to reduce VLDL and the triglycerides they contain. T...

Insulin Resistance: the silent killer that you can completely reverse – even if your doctor doesn ’ t know how
You may have already heard the term “insulin resistance,” as it has been widely discussed by doctors and the media. But did you know that you can reduce or reverse it in the vast majority of people?
Insulin resistance, i.e., the inability of the body’s cells, especially liver, muscle, and brain, to respond to insulin and allow blood sugar to enter cells, drives numerous abnormal health conditions including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, fatty liver, Alzheimer’s dementia, and cancer. It is therefore a driving force behind so many modern and common chronic health conditions.
