Super Body: A 3-Week Program to Harness the New Science of Body Composition and Restore Your Youthful Contours
Modern weight loss drugs may seem like a miracle cure, but they actually cost us our long-term health, reducing our muscle mass which is vital for youthful vigour, mobility and overall health. When we lose weight this way we gain it back as fat - whether through yo-yo dieting or Ozempic - and end up in worse shape than before.
Dr Davis argues that the solutions to weight management, and our overall health, lie in restoring the natural situation to which we as human beings are genetically programmed. In Super Body, he shows you the natural, easy strategies which will help you lose weight safely and effortlessly,
*Wheat/grain elimination - to decrease appetite, stabilize blood sugar and reduce inflammation and 'leaky gut'.
*Sugar elimination - to reduce insulin levels and improve insulin sensitivity for long-term weight management.
*Addressing common nutrient deficiencies that contribute to insulin resistance.
Drawing on his own groundbreaking research into the 'Gut/Muscle Axis', Dr Davis will show you how to restore your long-term health through diet, microbes and supplements, leading to improved mood, enhanced athletic performance, better sleep and heightened immunity.

4.5 The author Dr. Davis is a renowned cardiologist. He know’s what he’s talking about and explains his research in detail. He’s written several books, Wheat Belly, Super Gut and now Super Body a 3 week program to restoring your body closer to good health. So where does this book go ? Gut biome, it’s all in the gut, it starts and ends there. If your gut biome is off, everything else will be too.
His program is strict, it is very low carb, high protein, high fermented foods, there are many everyday food items to avoid. No wheat, no grain, no corn, no sugar, seed oils which seems extreme and felt like it to me while I was reading it. I’m a vegetarian so most of my diet would be gone. Or I’m just not willing to give up my wheat ? Both. But I will follow many of his suggestions on getting my biome back and have already started some ferments.
There are recipes for getting that good stuff back into your system and a list of supplements to help too.
I think this is a good book for anyone wanting to turn their system around and maybe lose some weight. If nothing else the education offered here is invaluable.
