Wheat Belly Author comes to The Woodlands

THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- In his #1 New York Times bestselling blockbuster, "Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health", William Davis, MD, blew the lid off the obesity epidemic in this country. The real problem is not too much fat and sugar and too little exercise?the true culprits are the so-called “healthy whole grain” products aggressively marketed to us by food companies and endorsed as “heart healthy” by government agencies.

Wheat has changed dramatically over the past 50 years under the influence of agricultural scientists who have genetically altered it beyond recognition with no questions asked about whether these agricultural manipulations are compatible with human health. The adverse effects?ranging from minor rashes and high blood sugar to dementia, arthritis, and the buildup of stubborn belly fat (“wheat bellies”)?can be banished with one simple step: Saying goodbye to wheat.

Dr. Sakina Davis, owner of Woodlands Wellness, met Dr. William Davis at a conference she attended. Dr. Sakina Davis is a big proponent of making lifestyle changes to obtain health and wellness naturally. She spends a great deal of time educating her patients and hosting seminars to give tools to enable people to take charge of their health. She was so intrigued by Dr. Davis’ book that she invited him to The Woodlands to give a talk with her about the importance of eliminating grain from your diet.

“I am honored that Dr. William Davis accepted my invitation to join me. Educating people on healthy eating is something that I am very passionate about and we are excited to bring this wheat-free revolution to our local community,” states Dr. Sakina Davis.

Wheat – The Unhealthy Whole Grain took place on Feb. 19th at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott. After Dr. William Davis presented his approach to healthy living, Dr. Sakina Davis and Fred Emmite, R.Ph joined him onstage for questions and answers. The event was attended by over 500 people and included local vendors that have products to support wheat-free living.

This simple change in diet yields incredible and unexpected health benefits, not just for the celiac or gluten sensitive, but for everyone. Followers of Wheat Belly have lost up to 100 pounds without going hungry, feeling deprived or fatigued, or missing their favorite foods.

WILLIAM DAVIS, MD, stumbled on the incredible power of a wheat-free approach to health as a preventive cardiologist when he first set out to remove all foodstuffs made of wheat because of their potential to raise blood sugar. When he observed unexpected and extravagant health benefits with wheat removal, he started asking some tough questions to understand why. Dr. Davis is Medical Director for Track Your Plaque, an online heart disease prevention program, and writes frequently for national publications and health Web sites. He lives with his wife and three children in Fox Point, Wisconsin, where there are no pitas or bagels in his cupboards.
