The Gut-Brain Paradox is Dr Steven Gundry’s latest book, now available for pre-order.
People know Dr Gundry as ‘the guy who told us plants were evil foods’ but have they read his books, I wonder? The key to enjoying the wide variety of foods we must enjoy to have a healthy, diverse microbiome that promotes overall health, is to have a robust and diverse terrain - it’s a positive feedback loop we must create, and when we don’t? A whole host of issues can occur that eventually lead to a whole host of diseases and diagnoses.
We cover a LOT of ground on the show this week:
- Why the doctor he dedicated his book to, was beaten to death in an asylum
- How our terrain matters and why it took so long to understand it better.
- How you can trace different addictions to different microbiome populations/overgrowth
- How “plants don’t kill you” much as many social media accounts might try to tell you - BUT… you have to have what it takes to enjoy and process them.
- The difference between protein sources
- The label that Dr Gundry’s been given and is puzzled by “the father of carnivore diets”.
- The miracles Dr Gundry sees every day in medical practice, as he helps heal people’s terrain - heal the terrain, heal many, many different illnesses, in so many cases.
And, believe it or not, we cover even more than that list!
Enjoy the show,
