Gluten expert Dr. Tom O’Bryan returns to the podcast to respond to recent skepticism regarding gluten sensitivity and gluten-free diets.
This one is by popular demand. A few weeks ago, my podcast interview with Alan Levinovitz, author of The Gluten Lie, caused quite a stir.
Due to a few controversial statements made during Alan’s show, my inbox nearly blew up with requests for a rebuttal episode with Dr. Tom O’Bryan, host of The Gluten Summit.
Dr. Tom was more than happy to give his take on The Gluten Lie. In fact, he was FIRED UP!
Here are my notes:
4:13 – Do YOU need to avoid gluten? Dr. O’Bryan tells us exactly who should avoid gluten and why.
9:21 – The one test that you should take to test for gluten sensitivity, and why the other tests might not give you the results you need.
16:15 – Are ancient grains really better for you? An interesting study tells us what all gluten is doing to all humans.
17:59 – Is gluten-free just a fad? The reasons why Dr. O’Bryan thinks gluten-free is here to stay.
24:33 – What we know about what gluten does to the body, why we don’t always know what’s going on, and why we still have a lot more to learn.
33:54 – The one thing guaranteed to damage your gut, a few other culprits to watch out for and why positive results of going gluten-free are probably NOT from the gluten.
39:27 – What Dr. O’Bryan thinks is really behind the nocebo effect. Plus, his beef with sensationalism and bunk studies.
47:30 – Weighing the benefits of wheat: why indigestible fiber doesn’t do damage like gluten does.
49:47 – The European wheat myth that could be harming you – even if you don’t feel it!
52:57 – Why you can’t avoid gluten 100%, what you can do to protect yourself from gluten contamination, and why it’s so important.

Here are my notes!
3:25 – Why a philosopher and religion professor wrote a nutrition book and how food and religion have more in common than you might think!

11:15 – What paleo is, what it isn’t, and why “eat in moderation” doesn’t work.
12:50 – Where is the science? Why it’s so hard to get clear evidence on food and nutrition and whether or not we’ll ever have any answers.
19:25 – Science vs. sensationalism: mis-reporting in the media and what the scientists really have to say about their nutrition studies.
24:48 – Is it really just the gluten? The real reasons people might feel better off gluten and how to figure out if it will make you feel better, too.
28:44 – All about the nocebo effect and how your mind might be a bigger problem than the gluten.
33:15 – When “too healthy” becomes unhealthy and why we sometimes stick with something that doesn’t really work for us anymore.
38:05 – The problem with getting ahead of the scientific evidence. Plus, why the truth about food and nutrition probably isn’t as exciting as some people would lead us to believe.
45:35 – Does morally good = physically good? Why we associate feeling good with being “bad.”
50:30 – The money and marketing behind nutrition: figuring out who really has your best interest at heart and why being an equal opportunity skeptic might be good for your health.
