William Davis, MD, is a cardiologist and the author of the groundbreaking #1 New York Times bestseller Wheat Belly. He is also the author of three additional New York Times bestsellers—Wheat Belly Cookbook, Wheat Belly 30-Minutes (or Less!) Cookbook, and Wheat Belly Total Health—as well as several other influential books, including Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox and Undoctored.

Dr. David Friedman and Dr. William Davis explore how today’s surge in chronic illness—from obesity to autoimmune disease—may trace back to a hidden culprit: the gut. They argue that modern diets, toxins, and antibiotics have quietly damaged our microbiome, while popular weight-loss trends may do more harm than good. Their message is clear: real, lasting health comes from fixing the body at its roots, not chasing quick fixes.

The brain is the central driver of our thoughts, memories, relationships, and ability to love, and it’s far more resilient than once believed. Neuroscientist Dr. Tommy Wood, author of the book, The Stimulated Mind, explains that while genetics can influence the risk of cognitive decline, nearly half of dementia cases may be preventable through lifestyle choices like physical activity, good nutrition, quality sleep, mental stimulation, and social connection.

Everyday forgetfulness is usually due to stress, distraction, or lack of sleep—not early dementia—but it can serve as a signal to improve habits. Maintaining brain health requires balancing challenge and recovery: engaging in meaningful, mentally demanding activities while allowing time for rest. Ultimately, staying mentally sharp depends less on fate and more on consistently using and caring for the brain through purposeful, active living.

Dr. Bradley Nelson, holistic physician and co-author of the brand new USA Today bestseller, The Heart Code is here to share how trapped emotions form what he calls a "Heart-Wall,"  and more importantly, how releasing these emotional blockages can transform your relationships, your health, and your life.  Don't miss this this heart-to-heart conversation.

The New York Times bestselling author of Fiber Fueled offers an empowering new program to reclaim your health, fight inflammation, and supercharge your immune system by healing your gut. We’ve all heard inflammation is harmful, but what exactly is it, why does it happen, and how can we truly heal it? The answers, it turns out, lie deep within your gut. 

Dr. Will Bulsiewicz is an award winning gastroenterologist and internationally renowned gut health expert on a mission to improve the gut health of millions.

But there was so much more – allergies, autoimmune diseases, headaches, depression, thyroid and skin problems, menopausal symptoms, metabolic and hormonal issues. These may seem like separate problems, but they share one common root cause: inflammation.

In Plant Powered Plus, Dr. Bulsiewicz unveils the transformative power of the gut-immune connection, guiding you step-by-step through an evidence-based, holistic approach to conquering inflammation and reclaiming your vitality.

Dr. William Davis discusses how modern factors like antibiotics, glyphosate, and food additives disrupt the microbiome, contributing to autoimmune, digestive, and chronic diseases. He emphasizes the importance of gut health, testing for SIBO, and restoring beneficial microbes to improve overall wellness, body composition, and longevity. He also highlights the need for a microbiome-focused approach to prevent long-term health issues, and discusses his new book, Super Body: A 3-Week Program to Harness the New Science of Body Composition and Restore Your Youthful Contours.

Over 2,000 years ago, Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, said "all disease begins in the gut."

Fast-forward to today, and science is proving this to be true. An unhappy gut may be the cause of many chronic diseases, like depression, obesity, autoimmune disease, autism, and even cancer.

One of the world's leading pioneers in gut health, Dr. Vincent Pedre, joins Dr. Friedman to explain how to cleanse, heal, and rebuild your gut for optimal health.

In his book The Salt Fix, James DiNicolantonio, a leading cardiovascular research scientist and doctor of pharmacy, overturns conventional thinking about salt and explores instead the little-understood importance of it, the health dangers of having too little, and how salt can actually help you improve sports performance, crush sugar cravings, and stave off common chronic illnesses.

Too little salt in the diet can shift the body into semi-starvation mode and cause insulin resistance, and may even cause you to absorb twice as much fat for every gram you consume. Too little salt in certain populations can actually increase blood pressure, as well as resting heart rate. We need salt in order to hydrate and nourish our cells, transmit nerve signals, contract our muscles, ensure proper digestion and breathing, and maintain proper heart function.

The Salt Fix explains how we wrongly demonized this essential micronutrient as well as explain what the current science really says about this misunderstood mineral and how to maximize its effect so you can enjoy ideal health and longevity.

Listen as DiNicolantonio joins Dr. Friedman to share more about salt's impact on the human body and why you might need more in your diet.

We have with us, Dr. Robert Lustig here today to help us set the record straight as a leading expert on metabolic health and nutrition.

Dr. Robert Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist with expertise in metabolism, obesity, and nutrition. He holds a bachelor's in science, from MIT, a doctorate in medicine from Cornell University, and a master of studies and law from UC Hastings College of Law, and is an emeritus professor of pediatrics in the division of endocrinology.

He's authored several popular books, including Fat Chance, and The Hacking of the American Mind: The Science Behind the Corporate Takeover of Our Bodies and Brains, and the just-released Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine.

We all know that food is medicine for the body—but what if your mindset is medicine for the soul? In this powerful episode, we’re joined by Dr. Josh Axe, a leading expert in functional medicine, nutrition, and gut health, to dive into the intersection of physical nourishment and mental resilience. Dr. Axe shares insights from his New York Times bestselling book, "Think This, Not That," which explores 12 transformative mental shifts to help you break through limiting beliefs and reach your full potential.

From optimizing your health to redefining success and purpose, this episode is packed with practical tools and inspiring wisdom for anyone seeking to thrive—body, mind, and spirit.

Stress puts our health at risk, damaging our body’s systems and contributing to irritability, anxiety, depression, headaches, insomnia, and a myriad of other diseases and ailments.

But, people can disarm the harmful effects of stress naturally and holistically. Dr. Bradley Nelson offers these six tips for beating the stress of daily life.

1. Control what is in you. Eat healthy, live whole foods. The shorter the time from tree to tasting, from ground to gourmet, the more positive energy you will receive.
2. Control what is around you. Stay away from chronically toxic people and situations. Stay off of negative social media.
3. Eliminate clutter, physical and spiritual. Clean lines and open spaces in your living area can provide calmness and serenity. Purge yourself of emotional clutter like trapped emotions.
4. Literally “ground” yourself. This concept is also known as “earthing.” You know that great feeling you have after a day at the beach? That is about more than a day of relaxation. Standing or walking in bare feet in grass, sand, or even on a concrete surface that is immediately above the soil can rid your body of ever-so-damaging negative energy.
5. Embrace joy. As they say, “laughter is the best medicine.” Share random hugs and smiles. Think about all you have to be grateful for and share that gratitude. Keep negative energy at bay with positive thoughts and acts.
6. Slow down and love the little things. Humans have adopted the rat race as a way of life, and it need not be that way. There is nothing and no one more important than YOU. Make sure you have sufficient alone time and use it to enjoy what makes you content. A walk in the woods, smelling fresh-cut grass, watching children play, a day of reading... The possibilities are endless.

Listen as Dr. Nelson joins Dr. Friedman to explain why the best remedies for stress are all about kindness and simplicity. He also shares information from his newly expanded and updated book, The Emotion Code.

Dr. Martha Beck is here to discuss how anxiety is fueled by the brain's negativity bias and offer creativity as a way to break the anxiety cycle. She distinguishes between anxiety (ongoing worry) and fear (a survival response), suggesting techniques like deep breathing and self-compassion to manage anxiety. She also emphasizes limiting exposure to negative media and the importance of purpose and creativity in reducing stress. Lastly, she highlights the gut-brain connection in managing anxiety.

Dr Sue Varma joins Dr Friedman to discuss something we could all use a little more of—optimism. We live in a world filled with stress, uncertainty, and a never-ending stream of bad news. It’s easy to get caught in a cycle of negativity, feeling like things are out of our control. Dr Varma shares how optimism isn’t just for the naturally cheerful; it’s something we can train our minds to embrace—a skill, a science, and a practice.  

 Her groundbreaking book, Practical Optimism isn’t about wishful “glass half full” thinking—it’s rooted in real science and practical strategies that can help us not only survive tough times but thrive because of them. If you’ve ever wondered how some people are able to bounce back stronger after setbacks—or if you’re ready to shift your perspective in a way that boosts your health, happiness, and success—this episode is for you.

Over the years, Dr. Friedman has featured every diet... keto, vegan, plant-based, paleo, pescetarian, and the popular intermittent fasting diet.

Judy Morgan is here to discuss her new book, Yin & Yang 2.0 Nutrition for Dogs: Maximizing Health with Whole Foods, not Drugs. The book has recipes for different health conditions in dogs - arthritis, obesity, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, allergies, skin disease, lung disease.

Food can be used as medicine in place of pharmaceutical prescriptions and veterinary prescription diets that are made with horrible ingredients.

In her new book, Judy Morgan uses food as medicine based on Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine Food Therapy - using the "energetics" and properties of food to solve different problems in the body. For instance, heat is produced with infection and inflammation - food can be used to "cool" the problem. Phlegm (mucous, snot, thick discharges) can be dissolved with food. Damp (fluid accumulation in the chest, abdomen, gastrointestinal tract, or limbs) can be drained using specific foods. All this is explained in the book.

Every being has a "Constitution" or "Personality" - there are five Chinese element personalities: Fire, Earth, Water, Metal, and Wood. There is a personality quiz in the book to determine your dog's personality. This helps predicts which organ systems may get out of balance under certain conditions. Food can be used to keep the element balanced and that is explained in detail.

The number one cause of death in America is cardiovascular disease. On average, somebody dies of a heart attack or stroke every 36 seconds. After losing several family members to heart disease, today's guest also came very close to being one of these statistics. Until he discovered nitric oxide, a molecule that was awarded a Nobel Prize in medicine for reversing heart disease.

If you’re eating a healthy diet and you’re still dealing with fatigue, inflammation, anxiety, recurrent injuries, or chronic pain, the problem could be your spinach, almonds, sweet potatoes, and other trusted plant foods. And your key to vibrant health may be quitting these so-called superfoods.

After suffering for decades from chronic health problems, nutrition educator Sally K. Norton, MPH, discovered that the culprits were the chemical toxins called oxalates lurking within her “healthy,” organic plant-heavy diet. This book shines light on how our modern diets are overloaded with oxalates and offers fresh solutions including:

• A complete, research-backed program to safely reverse your oxalate load
• Comprehensive charts and resources on foods to avoid and better alternatives
• Guidance to improve your energy, optimize mood and brain performance, and find true relief from chronic pain 

In this groundbreaking guide, Norton reveals that the popular dictum to “eat more plants” can be misleading. Toxic Superfoods gives health-seekers a chance for improved energy, optimum brain performance, graceful aging, and true relief from chronic pain. 

“Toxic Superfoods” is available HERE and wherever books are sold!

Weight loss is one of our top health concerns, so much so that we keep looking for good ways to lose weight, preferably a way that is easy, effective, and permanent. It turns out that, when properly chosen, certain foods cause weight loss, with no need for the deprivation and planning that most weight-loss regimens require.

In his next book, leading nutrition researcher and author Dr. Neal Barnard reveals three breakthroughs that are supported by research, revealing that certain foods:
1. can reduce the appetite
2. trap calories so they are flushed away and cannot be absorbed, and,
3. increase the body's ability to burn calories for about three hours after each meal. These breakthroughs make weight loss incredibly easy, without calorie counting or deprivation. This diet encourages people to eat, not to stop eating. Dr. Barnard also reveals that some of the foods we think are good for us can actually be harmful, like salmon, goat cheese, and coconut oil, all of which pass easily into body fat...and often overstay their welcome. To make it easy, Dr. Barnard will include a simple to follow meal plan that includes delicious, and even indulgent recipes which include foods we have often been told to avoid, like potatoes and pasta, so you can eat real food, and still lose real weight.

The New Approach to Health:
Using Power Foods to Cause Rapid, Permanent Weight Loss
Scientists have found that certain foods trigger weight loss automatically. Unlike the usual approach to dieting which focuses on going hungry and avoiding the foods you love, the Power Foods approach encourages you to add specific foods that cause weight loss.
Power Foods work in three ways: First, they trigger satiety, taming your appetite so that you naturally eat less. Second, they trap calories in your digestive tract and carry them out with the wastes. Third, they ramp up your metabolism, so you burn calories faster hour after hour.

There are dozens of Power Foods, including common, everyday foods, like blueberries, melons, apples, and asparagus, as well as certain spices (cinnamon, ginger, and hot peppers). Blueberries, for example, get their color from anthocyanins, which have been associated with weight loss in research studies. Cinnamon contains a natural ingredient that boosts metabolism. Weight loss can be as easy as including these foods in your daily routine, say, with French toast made with cinnamon and topped with blueberry syrup.
The Power Foods and how to use them are spelled out in the Power Foods Diet, the new book by Neal Barnard, MD, author of the best-sellers Power Foods for the Brain and The 21-Day Weight-Loss Kickstart.

In this scientifically proven program, Power Foods do the work for you at home, at restaurants—anywhere you eat. You will never count calories again. And while exercise is always a good idea, the program works whether you exercise or not.
The Power Foods Diet includes 120 mouthwatering recipes, from French Toast and Wild Blueberry Muffins to Creamy Chipotle Butternut Soup, Southwest Chili, and Pesto Spaghetti with Broccoli and Sundried Tomatoes. And don’t forget dessert! The Power Foods ingredients are built into Blueberry Pops, Triple Berry No Churn Sorbet, a Fruity Banana Split, and Carrot Cake. There are also plenty of tips for people who prefer convenience foods or who generally eat in restaurants.

The approach is revolutionary:
• Power Foods bring you a healthier weight, healthier cholesterol level, lower blood pressure, and healthier blood sugar.
• Power Foods boost your energy, making you look and feel younger.
• Power Foods let you end “dieting” forever.
• Power Food allow you to enjoy eating again—at home or restaurants. No more skimpy portions.
• Among the Power Foods are those under study for their ability to reduce the risk of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

Music is something most people enjoy but research shows it also has therapeutic and healing properties.

Music can help decrease chronic pain and lower depression. The right song can stimulate serotonin and dopamine levels, the body’s neurotransmitters that regulate emotional well-being. It can help lower heart rate, blood pressure, and reduce the stress hormone called cortisol.

Joining Dr. Friedman is Bill Protzmann, an accomplished musician who has spent decades studying the healing power of music.

He is a successful IT entrepreneur who holds magna cum laude degrees in piano performance and creative writing. He’s an Associate Member of the American Music Therapy Association and a member of the Healing Music Organization.

Dr. Friedman chats with Bill on how to use music functionally in everyday situations including improving performance at work, strengthening communication and relationship skills, and combatting depression.

Are you having a hard time losing weight no matter what diet you try?

Research shows chemicals in food, the cookware used to prepare it, and even the containers we store our food in may be the cause of the growing obesity epidemic. Exposure to these chemicals has been shown to interfere with the way the body metabolizes fat, which can lead to weight gain, even if you eat a healthful diet and exercise regularly.

In this episode of To Your Good Health Radio, Dr. Friedman exposes hidden chemicals that may be sabotaging your weight loss goals and he shares what you can do about it.

We hear about a common chemical used in plastics for food and drink storage that mimics estrogen and has been proven to increase fat cell growth, the biggest issue facing our nation is the childhood obesity epidemic, and how to read food labels for “hidden ingredients” that are linked to weight gain.

1. Control what is in you. Eat healthy, live whole foods. The shorter the time from tree to tasting, from ground to gourmet, the more positive energy you will receive.
2. Control what is around you. Stay away from chronically toxic people and situations. Stay off of negative social media.
3. Eliminate clutter, physical and spiritual. Clean lines and open spaces in your living area can provide calmness and serenity. Purge yourself of emotional clutter like trapped emotions.
4. Literally “ground” yourself. This concept is also known as “earthing.” You know that great feeling you have after a day at the beach? That is about more than a day of relaxation. Standing or walking in bare feet in grass, sand, or even on a concrete surface that is immediately above the soil can rid your body of ever-so-damaging negative energy.
5. Embrace joy. As they say, “laughter is the best medicine.” Share random hugs and smiles. Think about all you have to be grateful for and share that gratitude. Keep negative energy at bay with positive thoughts and acts.
6. Slow down and love the little things. Humans have adopted the rat race as a way of life, and it need not be that way. There is nothing and no one more important than YOU. Make sure you have sufficient alone time and use it to enjoy what makes you content. A walk in the woods, smelling fresh-cut grass, watching children play, a day of reading... The possibilities are endless.

Dr. David Friedman sits down with Jacqueline Haskins, author of "Kick Ass Healthy LADA," to discuss the often overlooked and misdiagnosed form of diabetes called LADA.

Haskins explains the difference between prediabetes and LADA, emphasizing the need for early detection. They also discuss the difference in treatment for type 2, type 1, and LADA diabetes. Haskins encourages individuals to advocate for themselves and request the antibody test for accurate diagnosis.
