Dr. William Davis is a guest we’ve had on the show many times before. This time we invited Dr. William back to explain why he feels that Health Coaches are the perfect healthcare practitioners to help unwell humans get to the root cause of their health issues. As he sees it, by focusing on relatively simple diet and lifestyle changes, this will positively affect the incredibly diverse and important human intestinal microbiome and lead to improved health.
In this episode, Dr. William shares with us why he (a cardiologist) moved away from surgery for heart issues and focused instead on lifestyle. He also dives deep into how to get the cardiac help you need, the new and unconventional approaches to heart disease prevention, and how the intestinal microbiome is tied to so many health outcomes. Erin and Laura also ask Dr. William a handful of the questions you, the listener, had about the intestinal microbiome.
To you health coaches out there, do yourself a favor and get a copy of Dr. William’s book Super Gut: A Four-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight. Be sure to check out primalhealthcoach.com. to enroll in our new specialty certification course, the Human Intestinal Microbiome in Health and Disease. Dr. William wrote this program exclusively for us to help arm you health coaches with the knowledge you need to help millions and millions of people.
There’s a ton to learn from this episode, and honestly, Erin and Laura really just scratched the surface with Dr. William. You and your bacteria are going to love it and learn a gut full.
