The Dr. Josh Axe Show

What if some of the most trusted ideas about cholesterol, heart disease, grains, fat, and even exercise were never as solid as we were told—and the consequences are now showing up in weaker muscles, damaged guts, and rising chronic disease? Cardiologist and #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. William Davis has spent more than a decade challenging the foundations of modern nutrition—from cholesterol myths to the hidden dangers of modern wheat. In this episode, we uncover what today’s wheat does to the body that ancient wheat never did, why even one weekly “cheat meal” can disrupt inflammation and cholesterol for weeks, and what your doctor may not be telling you about statins, muscle loss, and the true drivers of heart disease.

Most people believe slowing down after 40 is inevitable, but science tells a very different story. The fastest agers aren’t older; they’re nutrient-depleted, inflamed, and metabolically stressed.
