Against the Grains

By Lee Aase • March 29, 2023

Throughout 2023 we're highlighting a different element of HELP: The Health, Energy & Longevity Plan each month in a series called HELP Explained.

If you want to learn more about the negative effects of grains, here are a couple of New York Times bestsellers you might find worth reading, as they have helped to inform our recommendations in HELP.

Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health by William Davis, M.D.
Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth about Wheat, Carbs and Sugar—Your Brain's Silent Killers by David Perlmutter, M.D.

To encourage your exploration, here are a couple of videos featuring these authors:

I've learned much from both Dr. Davis and Dr. Perlmutter, and hope you'll take time to watch these videos. I hope they whet your appetite to check out these two books as well as others they've written.
