My guest today is Dr. Tom O’Bryan, who is an internationally-recognized speaker and workshop leader about the health dangers of gluten. He is the founder of www.thedr.com and a visionary behind the paradigm shift at The Gluten Summit: A Grain of Truth. In this summit, 29 leading experts on gluten diseases and disorders met to discuss the issues. Check our resources below to find out more about the summit. Dr. Tom is here to discuss the complications of non-celiac gluten sensitivity, celiac disease, and autoimmune disease. Join us for this informative conversation!\r\nDr. Tom discusses the following:\r\n\r\nDr. Tom became known as “The Gluten Expert” after he and his wife successfully beat infertility 36 years ago by following the advice of 7 holistic health experts.\r\nHis fame spread as he was able to help friends and neighbors with health issues by following the same program and helping hundreds of couples beat infertility.\r\nEVERY couple that he worked with had food sensitivity issues, and they were “throwing gasoline on the fire” with their gluten-rich diets.\r\nGluten is THE MAIN CULPRIT WITH THE GREATEST IMPACT ON HEALTH! Symptoms can be varied and many, including seizures, rheumatoid arthritis, and infertility.\r\nDr. Tom started his Certified Practitioners Program for medical professionals all over the world; it’s for those who understand “the big picture.”\r\n“If you have sensitivity to gluten, it will manifest itself wherever your weakest link is.”\r\nDoctors usually focus on celiac disease for ALL gluten sensitivity, but the proper term is “gluten-related disorder.”\r\nGluten sensitivity will be manifest in the intestines as celiac, in the brain as ADD, and in the joints as RA---wherever YOUR weak link is.\r\nOne in 100 people in the US have celiac disease, but 60% of people have a “wheat-related disorder.”\r\n“No human can digest gluten completely.”\r\nDr. Tom explains how “pathogenic intestinal permeability” occurs because of gluten.\r\nTests for gluten sensitivity are not accurate and comprehensive. Most test for ONE gluten issue when there are really over 60 components.\r\nDr. Tom explains the elevated antibodies to the cerebellum, thyroid, and other organs.\r\n“The elimination diet is NOT the only answer to identify gluten sensitivity.”\r\n“Why would we eat a food that causes intestinal permeability in everyone?”\r\nGluten can manifest itself in ANY tissue in the body.\r\nGoing gluten-free can reverse some cancers and autoimmune diseases.\r\nGoing gluten-free can alter the microbiome in the intestines—THE most important organ in the body!\r\nDr. Tom explains how to use fermented vegetables, like sauerkraut, to foster a healthy microbiome in a gluten-free diet.\r\nThe good fat in the gut is butyrate; get it from eating different colored vegetables—at least 1 pound each day!\r\nDr. Tom explains his normal diet, even when traveling. He focuses on quality proteins and LOTS of veggies!\r\nEven ancient grains will still trigger sensitivity if you make antibodies to gluten.\r\nWheat in Europe has less “fodmaps,” which may not produce the gas and bloating that American wheat does, but the immune response is still triggered.\r\nDr. Tom explains how to guard against accidental gluten exposure and inadvertent exposure with his GI Shield digestive enzymes.\r\nDr. Tom’s goal is to lessen the period of disability at the end of life, to help people stay active and healthy until death. Gluten adds to the “wearing-down” process that can be the last ½ or 1\/3 of a normal lifetime.\r\nDr. Tom cites an ADHD study involving gluten and explains the details. It is recommended that every ADHD-diagnosed person be tested for gluten sensitivity.\r\nGluten-free products? Are they helpful and safe? Dr. Tom says that they are NOT healthy and nutrient-poor. Dr. Tom explains an FDA study that proves that most gluten-free products are not safe because of the danger of cross-contamination.\r\n\r\nHow to reach Dr. Tom and more:\r\nwww.certifiedglutenpractitioner.com\r\nwww.thedr.com   \r\nwww.thedr.com\/glutentruth     Visit this site for the FREE “The Gluten Truth Discovery Pack,” full of interviews, articles, and a $10 coupon!\r\nwww.theglutensummit.com\r\n \r\nNow it’s your turn!\r\n \r\nWHAT changes have you made in your diet? \r\nHOW have those changes affected your health? \r\nWHAT has been your biggest challenge while implementing a healthy lifestyle? \r\nWHO do you want to hear from?\r\n \r\nLet me know in the comments below and I will try my best to get them on the show!  I want to answer your burning questions and for YOU to add your thoughts to the conversation.  So go ahead and leave a comment now.  \r\n \r\nAnd if you want even more resources to heal yourself naturally, make sure you sign up for my email updates, because I share some insights in my email updates that I don’t share anywhere else.\r\n \r\nThanks so much for stopping by and until next time, remember to eat consciously, because the world needs a healthy and vibrant you!\r\nBECOME A FOOD AS MEDICINE VIP FOR FREE.  ENTER YOUR EMAIL BELOW AND RECEIVE:\r\n\r\nMy free gift, “The Clean Eating Rules.” It’s my #1 guide for how to eat to lose weight, improve your biometrics, and get more energy.\r\nSummary of Pearls shared on the show\r\nOccasional Love Letters from Dr. Anh, where I share my favorite recipes and products, upcoming events, new information I’ve learned, and other goodies \u263a\r\n\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n ","author_name":"Food As Medicine with Dr. Anh","author_url":"http:\/\/dranh.com\/","html":"
