What to expect
Forget everything you've been told about dieting (from your doctor, the food industry, dietitians, and wellness influencers). You've been led down the wrong path, which has caused you to believe that calorie restriction, weight-loss drugs such GLP-1 agonists, and bariatric procedures are effective solutions for weight loss. They are NOT, nothing more than Ponzi schemes with upfront benefits, long-term disasters. Conventional weight-loss solutions are effective in the short-term but are plagued by serious problems, including virtually guaranteed weight regain over time. Muscle mass is the critical determinant of weight and provides vigor, youthfulness, and overall health. When we diet, lost muscle is regained as fat, leaving us in worse shape than before.
In SUPER Body, Dr. William Davis, MD, bestselling author of Wheat Belly and Super Gut, reveals how we can restore our health and youthful contours by returning to ancestral nutrition practices, restoring beneficial microbes, and taking synergistic supplements. The solution to losing weight lies not in pharmaceuticals or procedures but rather in restoring factors lost from the modern human life experience, specifically microbes lost due to overexposure to antibiotics and other factors, and the restoration of nutrients lost due to misguided dietary advice. Complete with a three-week program to help kick-start your journey, and including easy-to-make recipes to enhance your efforts, SUPER Body will show you how to lose the weight naturally and permanently while restoring your youthful shape and body contours.
Critics Review
-
In SUPER Body, Dr. William Davis shines a spotlight on the critical role of preserving muscle as we age - something most diets and weight-loss drugs, including GLP-1s, completely miss. These short-term "fixes" often strip away precious muscle, undermining our metabolism and overall vitality. Dr. Davis's practical, science-backed plan offers a true solution by targeting both the gut and muscle in tandem, rather than relying on quick or damaging interventions. For anyone seeking real, lasting health and strength in their later years, SUPER Body is a must-read.

SUPER Body is a powerful wake-up call in a world drowning in failed or potentially threatening weight-loss approaches. Dr Davis brilliantly exposes the flaws of conventional thinking and offers an empowering, science-based path to reclaim your body - not through deprivation or pharmaceuticals, but by restoring what modern life has taken away.

This book is a game-changer. What Dr. William Davis has uncovered in SUPER Body is something most doctors and diet programs completely overlook: the massive mistake of losing muscle during weight loss. Most weight loss methods permanently lower your metabolic rate, setting you up for rebound weight gain. If you're serious about transforming your health and avoiding the traps of modern weight loss, you need to read this book.
