The Dr. Leaf Show

From the moment we are born, our cells begin to age. But aging does not have to mean decline. World-renowned surgeon Dr. Steven Gundry has been treating mature patients for most of his career. He knows that everyone thinks they want to live forever, until they hit middle age and witness the suffering of their parents and even their peers. So how do we solve the paradox of wanting to live to a ripe old age—but enjoy the benefits of youth?In this episode I interview renown cardiologist and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Steven Gundry to discuss how we may be living longer but not better, how to reverse the disease of aging and prevent Alzheimers, how some vegetables may actually be harming our health, how lectins could be related to the rise of autoimmune diseases, how to help children develop healthy habits, and so much more! For more info on Dr. Gundry visit: https://drgundry.comI also highly recommend his books:The Plant Paradox: https://drgundry.com/books/The Plant Paradox Family Cookbook: https://drgundry.com/books/The Longevity Paradox: http://www.harperwave.com/book/9780062843395/The-Longevity-Paradox-Steven-R.-Gundry-MD/And follow him on social media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstevengundry/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrStevenGundry/Twitter: https://www.facebook.com/DrStevenGundry/ Additional resources:Get my new 21 day brain detox program here: https://theswitch.appRegister now for my 2020 Mental Health Summit Dec 3-5 in Dallas, TX!

Addiction is something many of us have experienced, whether we ourselves have battled with addiction, guilt and shame, or we know a loved one, friend or family member who is dealing with addiction. According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 19.7 million American adults (aged 12 and older) battled a substance use disorder in 2017 alone! When it comes to addiction, whether we are talking about addiction to drugs, alcohol, food, sex and so on, people are often faced with conflicting messages: they are damaged goods with little or no hope of overcoming their addiction, or it is all their fault and they are just “bad apples”.Yet reality is far more complicated, and, thankfully, far more hopeful: it is possible to take responsibility for our lives while recognizing and dealing with the negative consequences addiction. In this week’s podcast I speak about addiction and how it is possible to overcome it with Adi Jaffe, Ph.D. who is a nationally recognized expert on mental health, addiction, relationships and shame. We discuss his unconventional but effective method, how he struggled with addiction (which ended up with him in prison!), how to help someone who is struggling with addiction, and why abstinence is ineffective in addiction recovery.For more information on Dr. Adi and his courses, book, and podcast visit: https://www.adijaffe.com/bio Find him on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter: @dradijaffeIGNTD Hero Program: https://www.igntdrecovery.com/transforming-addiction-full Get his book The Abstinence Myth for free here: https://www.theabstinencemyth.com/ Additional reading: https://www.cnn.com/2012/09/13/health/jaffe-addiction-myths/index.html Additional resources:Get my new 21 day brain detox program here: https://theswitch.app Visit my website at www.drleaf.com for more resources, tips, and tools to help you improve and heal your mental health!
