Steven Gundry, MD
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.
The Plant Paradox
The Hidden Dangers in \"Healthy\" Foods That Can Wreck Your Health—And What You Can Do About It
Dr. Stephen Gundry
Dr. Steven Gundry's "The Plant Paradox" explores the impact of lectins, proteins found in plants, on human health. The book argues that lectins can trigger inflammation and various health problems, advocating for a lectin-restricted diet. Gundry provides a detailed list of lectin-rich and lectin-free foods, offering practical advice on meal planning and lifestyle changes. The book has generated significant discussion and controversy within the nutrition community, with some praising its insights and others criticizing its claims. It remains a popular resource for those seeking to improve their health through dietary modifications.
