Dr. Tom O’Bryan has been educating us about the potential dangers of wheat and gluten for many years, and how eating wheat could potentially develop into autoimmune conditions.
In this episode we focus on wheat and brain health, including Alzheimer’s disease, brain fog and depression. Dr. Tom talks us through the immune response to wheat, via toll-like receptor IV and zonulin in the gut, through to the blood brain barrier and glial cell activity in the brain. He explains why it’s not just the gluten in wheat that’s the problem, what to test for, and why declining brain health is the “canary in the coal mine”.
“There has been, between 2013 and 2017, in a four year period - these are the most recent statistics that I can find - there was a 407% increase in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s in 30 to 44 year olds. Wow. In four years, a 407% increase in 30 to 44 year olds. This is like… can you let that sink in for a minute? What do you think has happened in the last six years now? Since that statistic cameout? Anything changed for the better in terms of air pollution?”
