if after 1.g4 the move 2.Nxd5 is dangerous for black, then I hope you don't mind black playing 1... Nxc3 instead of almost passively waiting for white's winning move 2.Nxd5.
(1.g4? Nxc3! 2.bxc3)
The same as with 1.Nxd5, black just can't leave the strong Knight there and will recapture with 1... cxd5.
(1.Nxd5? cxd5!)
