In 'The Energy Paradox', Dr. Steven R. Gundry expands on his previous discussions of gut, microbiome, and mitochondrial health, linking immune malfunction to the mental and physical symptoms of fatigue. The book offers a fresh look at one of the top health issues plaguing Americans—fatigue—and provides tools to quiet the autoimmune battle within, which depletes energy reserves and leads to mood disorders and weight gain. Dr. Gundry includes new guidelines on increasing mitochondrial energy production, nourishing the microbiome, and lists of energy-boosting and energy-depleting foods, along with 30 new Plant Paradox-approved recipes.

In Unlocking the Keto Code, Dr. Gundry reveals the biological mechanism behind keto diets, focusing on a cellular process called 'mitochondrial uncoupling. ' He explains that ketones are not the sole fuel source and that a very low-carb diet can lead to muscle wasting and poor cognitive health. Instead, Gundry proposes a more flexible approach, incorporating plant-based foods, ketone-generating foods like goat and sheep milk products, and timed eating schedules to achieve the benefits of ketosis without extreme carb restriction. The book is grounded in cutting-edge science and includes food lists, hacks, and new recipes, making it accessible for those who have tried and failed on traditional keto diets, as well as vegetarians and vegans.
