About this course

Conventional weight loss strategies can result in near-term success and almost without exception are long-term failures. The secret may be in the gut.

There is now a substantial body of evidence relating body composition, fat storage and metabolic health to our microbiome particularly the presence or absence of key bacterial species. Dr. William Davis-renowned cardiologist and #1 New York Times bestselling author is a global authority on the human microbiome and how the gut microbes shape body composition, metabolic health, and clinical outcomes. 

He has prepared this fascinating presentation which highlights how modern lifestyles, including processed diets and widespread antibiotic use, have led to the loss of specific beneficial gut bacteria that once helped regulate weight and maintain metabolic balance. He explains that restoring beneficial microbes can help remodel the microbiome, reduce fat mass, improve insulin sensitivity, and even promote the transformation of white fat into metabolically active brown-like fat.

William presents a practical, evidence-based plan for you to help patients reprogram their microbiome-using targeted probiotics, prebiotics, dietary changes, and fermented foods-to address not only weight but also the underlying metabolic dysfunctions that drive chronic disease.
