Home Page - John Douillard's LifeSpa Presents: Eat Wheat Book

Eating gluten and dairy-free has taken the health food industry by storm. Food manufacturers are realizing that unless they offer a gluten-free version of their product, it is increasingly difficult to be competitive. Studies show that within a single year, as many as 100 million Americans consume gluten-free products. Non-dairy foods and milk substitutes have also become increasingly common: in 2015, the U.S. dairy alternatives market was worth 2.09 billion, and growing.

Please join me in exploring the nature of food sensitivities and the trending gluten-free and dairy-free diets that often accompany such sensitivities. After all, our direct human ancestors have been eating wheat and other grains for 3.4 million years. Early humans have been grinding wheat into flour for 30,000 years. Could the gluten- and dairy-free trend be missing the point? Are these types of elimination diets really necessary?

The research in Eat Wheat is so compelling because it suggests that the popular "grain brain" phenomenon is merely a myth. To get at the real issue, we have to turn our attention to the lymphatic system, where path becomes very clear: decongest the lymphatic system, reboot digestive strength, and shift our food focus away from simple sugars to good, healthy fats, along with foods in their whole natural state.

I wrote Eat Wheat to guide you through through process of reintroducing gluten and dairy back into your diet. Backed by over 600 scientific studies and 30 years of clinical practice, I will walk you step-by-step through the digestive healing and lymphatic decongestion process. Don't miss this opportunity to feel great again and empower yourself on the journey to health.

John Douillard has been on the leading edge of dynamic optimal health for decades. And I have personally benefited from it. Now — he questions our obsession with gluten free, dairy free eating by asking the question, “Why, after centuries of eating these foods with no problems are so many people so adversely affected by them?”

His answer to that question is scientifically accurate and thought-provoking. It’s because our digestion is suboptimal to begin with. And our detoxification systems are overloaded for many other reasons. Dr. Douillard has helped thousands of people cure their food intolerances by treating the cause at its root — not just the symptom. And whether or not you ever decide to consume gluten or dairy again, what you’ll learn in this book is crucial to your health.

Eat Wheat is clearly the most brilliant and groundbreaking dietary book in recent years that everyone should carefully read – both the lay person and the medical professional. Dr. John Douillard explodes the myths behind gluten intolerance and reveals the real culprit in our own weakened digestive systems.

He exposes similar issues behind the wholesale rejection of dairy products, which like wheat, have enormous nutritional value and usage going back thousands of years. He reveals the faulty science and commercial propaganda that have turned millions of people against some of the most valuable foods in human history.

Dr. Douillard highlights the wisdom of Ayurvedic medicine and its profound insight into the role of Agni or the digestive fire, which modern medicine has not yet properly understood. He carefully explains how, by improving our digestive fire, we can increase both our food choices and promote our own positive health and vitality.
