What if the secret to healing from chronic illnesses lies within your gut? Join us for an insightful conversation with Dr. Steven Gundry, a medical veteran with decades of experience, as we unravel the critical role of our gut microbiome in treating conditions like leaky gut and autoimmune diseases. Dr. Gundry walks us through how our gut microbiome has evolved, impacting our health and sparking the rise of modern diseases. His insights on how diet can shape our health and how the right bacteria can assist in breaking down harmful substances like gluten and oxalates are truly enlightening.
We engage Dr. Gundry in a fascinating discussion about leaky gut, gluten, and their profound impacts on health. We unravel the role of actin, an essential protein in our immune system and investigate how testing methods can give us a health report card. Dr. Gundry shares his findings about the prevalence of antibodies to various forms of gluten in his patients, and how restoring gut health can revitalize the vital communication channel between the immune system and the gut.
We wrap up with Dr. Gundry sharing his inputs on the Human Microbiome Project and its connection to autism spectrum disorder. Emphasizing the importance of a healthy diet during fetal development and discussing the potential dangers of Roundup, a herbicide linked to leaky gut and other health issues, Dr. Gundry urges us all to make conscious consumer choices to influence the food supply. The conversation closes on a hopeful note, with Dr. Gundry speaking about his upcoming book, Gut, and how his food supplement company, GundryMD, is aiding in understanding the underlying causes of leaky gut and other health issues. Join us in this enlightening journey and discover how you can take control of your health, one gut bacteria at a time.

Memorable Quotes
"We used to have a fantastic defense system against the various environmental troublemakers that we encounter, and that includes plants that we eat and that includes fungi and molds, and we had a really robust system that could not only handle what was thrown at us but, maybe just as importantly, would educate the immune system.""We can heal your leaky gut, I can give you supplements that will do it, but if you keep swallowing razor blades every day, then you're just going to slice it right back open.""The other thing we've seen with some of our really mischievous autoimmune patients who have four or five active autoimmune diseases. A lot of those folks react to all forms of dairy and a lot of those folks react to all forms of milk, of eggs sorry, both yolks and whites. Now, the good news is, once we seal everything up, we can reintroduce a great number of these foods. Sometimes not all of them, but most of the time we can reintroduce these things, which is exciting. That's the carrot on the stick. I hold off, I hold out for people. There's hope."Resources Mentioned
