  What happens when you keep triglycerides 60 mg/dl or less? 15.08.2026 13分

  Of the four values provided on any standard cholesterol panel, the triglyceride value reveals the most about your health. Ironically, it is often the value most commonly ignored or dismissed, or simply treated using the wrong agents. Here is what you can expect if you keep triglycerides 60 mg/dl or less.

  An end to heart disease click bait: How heart disease is REALLY caused and managed 06.08.2026 13分

  You've seen the click-bait headlines: "Take this one supplement and dissolve plaque," or "Eat this one food every day to dissolve plaque." None of this true, any more than reducing cholesterol "dissolves plaque." There is a logical and scientifically validated approach to gain control over coronary atherosclerotic plaque and thereby risk for heart attack and related cardiovascular events. It begins with identifying, then eradicating, small dense LDL particles. Think of small dense LDL partic...

  One of the best kept secrets in healthcare: The diameter of your thoracic aorta 05.08.2026 8分

  Many people have had an echocardiogram, CT heart scan, or other imaging test of their heart or chest during which an enlarged ascending thoracic aorta was identified--but you are almost NEVER told. Yet an enlarged aorta is a diseased aorta that puts you at risk over time of aneurysm rupture, dissection, both of which are catastrophic, and "mini-strokes" from fragmentation of atheroclerotic plaque. Here is how to know whether this applies to you and, if it does, what you can do about it...

  Smoke inhalation: Cardiovascular risk factor 21.07.2026 6分

  The recent Canadian wildfires that have caused a thick blanket of smoke to cover the upper Midwest and Northeast is, as reported by the media, a threat to people with lung conditions. But it also adds to risk for heart disease, rarely or never mentioned and therefore often dismissed. But smoke inhalation is indeed a cardiovascular risk factor. Here is some of the most compelling evidence for this phenomenon. Support the show YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WilliamDavisMD Blog...

  Thoracic Aortic Dissection: What To Know 13.07.2026 10分

  Senator Lindsay Graham recently died unexpectedly from a thoracic aortic dissection, taking the world by surprise. Is this something you should be concerned about for your own health? You may actually have already been tested for this, even if the results were not shared with you. Here is a discussion about what an aortic dissection is, why and how it occurs, how to find out if it applies to you, and what you can do to stop it from posing danger.

  Bacteriocins: Key to surviving the age of antibiotics? 12.07.2026 13分

  Normally, you should have numerous species of microbes inhabiting your gastrointestinal tract and other body locations that produce bacteriocins, i.e., natural antibiotics that keep unhealthy microbial species from taking over. Unfortunately, modern antibiotics, while necessary at times, have killed off species that were previously protecting you by producing bacteriocins. This allows the emergence of health problems mostly unique to modern people including weight gain, type 2 diabetes, irrit...

  Why is cholesterol testing not dead yet? 02.07.2026 16分

  Why are we still using 1950s technology to predict and manage risk for heart disease in the form of cholesterol testing? Superior methods have been available for >30 years. Sadly, the key is money. If superior methods to identify and manage risk for heart disease are essentially without cost, how would the healthcare industry make its money?

  Why does curing type 2 diabetes remain a secret? 24.06.2026 20分

  I find it shocking that, as easy as type 2 diabetes is to reverse, backed up by even human clinical trials validating this concept, few doctors inform their diabetic patients of this. Oddly, now that GLP-1 agonist (disastrous) drugs are available, the reduction in blood sugar coupled with weight loss has brought the idea of type 2 diabetes remission to the forefront, since it now is profitable to reverse it. But you do NOT need any pharmaceutical to reverse type 2 diabetes...

  How can you know when SIBO is gone? 19.06.2026 12分

  If you have made efforts to reverse small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, SIBO, how can you know whether you have succeeded? Here are a number of indicators you can use to decide. After all, reverse SIBO and the endotoxemia that accompanies it provides huge advantages in virtually every aspect of health: emotional, physical, social.

  "I have a 'cheat' day once per week--Is that okay" 20.05.2026 12分

  If you are trying to eradicate one of the REAL causes of risk for heart disease, small dense LDL particles, is a once-per-week "cheat" day allowable? Can you get away with it by exercising more the following day, or being extra strict? No. Unfortunately, small dense LDL particles are unforgiving and persist for an unusually long period in the bloodstream, thereby adding to risk for cardiovascular disease.

  Understand the "Universe" of Small Dense LDL Particles 14.05.2026 12分

  Why does much of the world cling to the outdated notion that cholesterol is the cause of heart disease and that reducing cholesterol is the solution, even after decades of evidence have more than amply demonstrated that this approach is woefully inadequate? Sadly, it's about money. But you do not have to be hogtied by financial concerns. You can take a path that actually works. You can start by measuring small dense LDL particles that gives you a mountain, an entire "universe," of insi...

  Infertility, Miscarriage, Premature delivery: The Crucial Role of Endotoxemia 04.05.2026 15分

  The evolving science has become overwhelming: Lipopolysaccharide endotoxemia, i.e., the entry of bacterial breakdown products into the bloodstream, is a major driver of multiple problems in female reproductive health. Unfortunately, this crucial factor is almost never addressed in conventional healthcare settings. Thankfully, there are steps YOU can take personally to address this important health issue.

  "Why do I have food intolerances? 24.04.2026 20分

  Food intolerances are growing and more and more people are unable to eat FODMAPs-containing foods, histamine-containing foods, nightshades, legumes, fructose-containing foods and numerous others, sometimes reduced to consuming only a handful of "safe" foods. Why is this happening, something that was virtually unknown only a generation or two ago? Much of it is due to the excessive proliferation of Proteobacteria species in your gut. But it's not just about food intolerances, as these i...

  Why Life is Better Without Wheat 15.04.2026 14分

  If you are given the kindergarten version of a healthy diet, well, you can expect mediocre results at best, disastrous results at worst. Why not graduate to a higher level of dietary understanding? But don't count on obtaining such insights from conventional sources. Here are some cold, hard facts about the consumption of wheat and grains that everyone should be aware of.

  Understanding the Microbiome: Endotoxemia and Translocation 07.04.2026 17分

  They are somewhat more advanced concepts, but the microbial phenomena of endotoxemia and translocation are proving to be critical processes in initiating or worsening a long list of human health conditions. Because most mainstream doctors have abdicated their responsibility in providing advice to maintaining or regaining health, it is up to YOU to understand these important concepts.

  What is gluten and why you should avoid it 29.03.2026 19分

  Despite my Wheat Belly series of books having been read by millions of people in nearly 40 countries, many people still think that a grain-based diet is healthy. Many also confuse this message with being "gluten-free." Let's think about this issue more clearly so that you understand the power you have in your hands to assume control over health and weight by being smarter and better informed than the misguided masses following dietary guidelines or are victims of an exploitative food industr...

  Why is grain elimination good for oral health? 15.03.2026 18分

  Scientific insights into the oral microbiome are yielding many new lessons for dental health: mouthwashes are actually dangerous, fluoridated drinking water does not prevent cavities, some toothpastes contain harmful additives. But the most important factor for dental health is often neglected: the role of eliminating grains. The amylopectin A of grains is a major factor in degrading dental health and the oral microbiome.
