It’s time for a gut check! I’m honored to welcome Dr. Steven Gundry, one of the world’s top cardiothoracic surgeons and a pioneer in the nutrition space. He hosts the top-rated health show, The Dr. Gundry Podcast, and is the founder and director of the International Heart & Lung Institute and The Center For Restorative Medicine.
He is also the New York Times bestselling author of The Plant Paradox, and he recently released his latest book, Gut Check: Unleash The Power Of Your Microbiome To Reverse Disease and Transform Your Mental, Physical, and Emotional Health.
Today, we’re talking all about the gut – the root of so many health outcomes. Dr. Gundry explains what happens in the gut doesn’t stay in the gut, revealing how the gut microbiome impacts our brain health, reproductive health, and more.
But this one’s full of solutions, too. Dr. Gundry breaks down the markers of leaky gut syndrome, and how he treats it, inspiring us with the life-changing results his patients have experienced.
He offers his top tips for individuals and families to heal their guts. Plus, we get into what everyone is missing about probiotics. This is a fascinating episode for anyone who’s ever experienced stomach issues, or simply wants to optimize their overall health, starting with their gut.
