I'm excited to welcome back Dr. Steven Gundry to The Human Upgrade for his sixth appearance, a tribute to his remarkable insights and ongoing research.

Dr. Gundry, a true pioneer, is renowned for his books like "The Plant Paradox" and his groundbreaking work on lectins, changing how we understand our body's reaction to food. He's also a top cardiothoracic surgeon and a leader in robotic cardiac surgery, with over two decades of research into the microbiome, using diet and nutrition as key treatment tools. His book, "Unlocking the Keto Code," and his wellness line, GundryMD, have made significant impacts in health and nutrition.

In this episode, we dive into cutting-edge research from his new book “Gut Check.” Dr. Gundry discusses the microbiome's connection to disease, and gut health's role in hormone regulation, crucial for mental health during menopause. He'll also share insights on dietary choices, the truth about parasites, and nicotine's unexpected role in longevity.

Dr. Gundry's transformative wisdom bridges traditional and alternative medicine. A big thank you to him for another enlightening visit. Thanks for joining us on this journey of discovery!
