Dr Gundry is a four-time New York Times bestselling author and Founder of the telemedicine clinic GundryHealth.com.

His YouTube channel has more than 780k subscribers with more than 70 million views and his books have sold more than 2.2 million copies in his Plant Paradox series and his newsletter has 1.5 million subscribers.

He is also the host of the Dr. Gundry Podcast with nearly a quarter of a million monthly listens.

His new book The Gut-Brain Paradox: Improve Your Mood, Clear Brain Fog, and Reverse Disease by Healing Your Microbiome flips the traditional view of the gut/brain axis on its head, revealing how our gut microbiome is driving our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and our mental, emotional, and neuronal health - and he shows us how to heal our microbiomes to take back control of our minds.

In his previous bestselling books, Dr. Gundry taught readers how to reverse disease and improve health and well-being by preventing and repairing leaky gut. In The Gut-Brain Paradox, he delves far more deeply into the mysterious and long misunderstood world of the human microbiome.

“The road to health is paved with good intestines”

Here are some of the things we talked about in today’s show:

· The microbiome has a significant influence on mental health.

· Leaky gut can lead to anxiety and depression.

· Stress and viruses can cause leaky gut.

· Eating disorders are linked to an addictive microbiome.

· Healing the blood-brain barrier is crucial for mental health.

· Gut health is connected to neurodegenerative diseases.

· Genetics play a small role in microbiome composition.

· And much more.
