EP 79 Part 2 - Dr. John Douillard — Gluten Sensitivity and the Why Behind Eating Whole Grains
In Today’s Episode
Today we’re talking with Dr. John Douillard about a surprisingly controversial topic: wheat. Dr. Douillard is the author of a great book titled Eat Wheat, so you can see where this is going. I was so excited to interview him because he believes something that I have observed in my own life and practice, that is that eliminating wheat from someone’s diet can be beneficial, but that you must heal the gut and be able to add it back in eventually. Wheat is not the root cause of illness, a weak gut is. We also talked about the lymphatic system and the importance of eating seasonally. Make sure you listen to the first part of our interview, Episode 78, before listening to this one.
Dr. John Douillard, DC, CAP, is a globally-recognized leader in the fields of natural health, Ayurveda, and sports medicine.
