The Dr. Gundry Podcast

When Phillip Stutts was still in his 30s, he was diagnosed with achalasia — a rare disorder of the esophagus that makes eating almost impossible and that typically affects people in their 60s, 70s, and 80s. It would have been very easy for Phillip to throw up his hands and give up. After all, there's NO cure for achalasia. But that's not what Phillip did. Instead, he resolved to not only defeat his condition, but to find a cure — something most medical professionals think is impossible. On this episode, Phillip and I chat about how the Plant Paradox helped him get off his medications, how he stays positive despite the setbacks, and the 1 thing you should NEVER skimp on.

Think calling someone hormonal is an insult? Think again. Every single person on the planet is FILLED with hormones (yes, that includes men!). But some people's bodies do a better job regulating them — and other people need help.Sadly, many "routine" practices in women's health care (particularly ones relating to hormones) are often misguided, shortsighted... even archaic.Fortunately, my guest, Dr. Jolene Brighten, is working to change that.Dr. Brighten is a speaker, author, nutritional biochemist, and naturopathic medical doctor who focuses on women's endocrine health. She has helped thousands of women address the root causes of chronic pain, acne, anxiety, and other symptoms — helping them regain control of their health.Dr. Brighten is also an expert on fertility, Post-Birth Control Syndrome, and the long-term effects associated with hormonal birth control.During this episode, we'll discuss the long-term effects of using synthetic birth control and how many doctors are inadvertently hurting their female patients.We'll also discuss Dr. Brighten's holistic approach to women's health care and what YOU can do to balance your hormones at any age.(Husbands, boyfriends, dads, and brothers — you'll want to listen to this too!

By now you've probably heard all about how toxic plant proteins — called lectins — can wreak havoc on your gut and even cause serious autoimmune diseases.But ever since I published my best-seller The Plant Paradox back in 2017, people have been asking me this one question:"Where did your idea about lectins come from?"Well, I didn't discover lectins. In fact, the science behind lectins is over 100 years-old!But I was one of the first people to theorize that lectins are THE major culprit behind so many of our modern ailments.So on today's episode of the Dr. Gundry Podcast, I'm going to take you on a journey of discovery. I'll explain the origins of my lectin theory of disease, share useful tips and tricks for cutting lectins out of your diet, and discuss the case studies that helped solidify my research.You're also going to hear me answer some of my fiercest critics and address the serious scientific scholarship underpinning everything I've written about lectins.

When it comes to healing, most of us are willing to try whatever we can to make ourselves and our loved ones feel better.And many of these non-traditional methods are VERY controversial — especially something called energy healing.While these practices are often dismissed as New Age nonsense or merely as placebo, Dr. Jill Blakeway — my guest on today's episode — makes a compelling case that energy healing can actually transform the healing process.Dr. Blakeway has a brand new book out called Energy Medicine: The Science and Mystery of Healing where she talks to practitioners, scientists, and patients about what's REALLY going on during an energy healing session.If you're not already a believer in energy medicine, after hearing Dr. Blakeway address the skeptics, you may come away convinced yourself.On this episode of the show, we'll also talk about the science behind energy medicine, about Dr. Blakeway's ample experience as a practitioner and recipient of energy healing, and about the steps YOU can take to practice energy healing yourself.

What do you think about when you hear the word "diet?"For some people, the word diet is just like the word "no." Some think dieting means cutting out many of the foods you love to eat or depriving yourself by eating less.But it doesn't have to be that way.On this episode of The Dr. Gundry Podcast, I chat with weight loss expert Eliza Kingsford about how YOU can take power back from the word "diet." Once you've taken back that power you can lose weight, stay healthy, and keep extra weight off for good.Eliza is a licensed psychotherapist and an expert on body image, weight loss, overweight and obesity, eating disorders and food addiction.

Have you ever thought about how much time you really spend sitting every single day? Maybe you drive to and from work, sit in front of a computer screen, and by the time you get home you're so exhausted all you want to do is lie down on the couch...Well, the average American now spends 21 hours a day sitting or sleeping, leaving just three hours for standing, walking, and moving around. And study after study has shown how all this sitting is making us sicker and shortening our lifespans.So what can you do about it — especially when it can be so hard to find the time to get moving?Well, on this episode of the Dr. Gundry Podcast, I'll be talking to Brett Bartholomew, a fitness expert who works with high-performance athletes and the best-selling author of Conscious Coaching: The Art and Science of Building Buy-In.Brett and I discuss the absolute easiest ways for YOU to get up and moving (even if it means doing a few squats while brushing your teeth!).

What happens when your doctor doesn't listen to you? Or worse, what if your doctor tells you that what you're feeling is all in your head? What do you do? Who can you turn to? Well, that's exactly what happened to today's guest. In her late teens, Allison Post — health coach and author of "The Gut Wellness Guide" —began suffering from unexplainable and debilitating pains and infections. But every time she went to a doctor, she always heard the same thing: Nothing's wrong with you. They told her to take an antibiotic and some painkillers and wait for her symptoms to get better. Except they didn't. Pretty soon, Allison's worst fears became a reality as she found herself in an emergency ward with a 104 degree fever fighting for her life. What happened next changed Allison's life forever. She's become an advocate for personalized care and holistic medicine because she understands how important it is for people to know someone is really trying to understand what's wrong with them. On today's episode of the Dr. Gundry Podcast, Allison and I discuss her incredible story, what it means to truly listen to your body, and how you can use a few simple tools to radically change your health and your life.

Pizza and beer may make you feel good in the moment — but after an hour there's a good chance you won't be feeling so good anymore. Many of us do this: We eat what "feels good" in the moment without thinking about how we're going to feel later. So many foods don't really satisfy you. Instead they leave you feeling tired and hungrier than before you sat down to eat!Entrepreneur and author Hannah Bronfman says it's time to make a change. In her new book, Do What Feels Good: Recipes, Remedies, and Routines to Treat Your Body Right, Bronfman explains how people can live a lifestyle based on listening to their bodies and eating the foods that make them feel happiest and healthiest — without overindulging.I've been telling my patients for years about the importance of listening to their bodies and connecting what they eat to how they feel. And on today's show, Bronfman and I will discuss the surprising connection between your diet and breakouts you might be getting!Bronfman will also discuss what it means to "do what feels good," discuss her personal struggles with body image and an unhealthy relationship to food, and offer some practical tips about how to start listening to your own body, eat what makes YOU feel good, and have fun. But be warned: Bronfman's positive attitude and approach to eating and wellness are contagious — you may even want to start doing what feels good as soon as you've finished listening!

As many of you already know, Steven Gundry MD has a reputation for maintaining healthy skepticism. If you've been watching the videos on this channel, you may have seen him debunking certain health myths and fads, from the carnivore diet or wheatgrass shots.But just because it's a fad, doesn't mean it's necessarily bad. And, in the case of bone broth, it certainly combines some contradictory (you might even say "paradoxical" elements) for followers of the Plant Paradox. The first hint is in the name... bone broth, after all, is based in animal protein, which should be approached with caution. However, there are some pretty amazing claims (i.e. it helps heal leaky gut, boosts the immune system and even reduces cellulite??).But, could all these claims be true, or have they been overhyped by marketing companies? Let's find out! In this video, Steven Gundry MD evaluates the major health claims associated with this alleged superfood. So whether you've recently considered jumping on the bone broth bandwagon, or even if it's already a staple in your diet, it never hurts to see the bigger picture.

"If I can see it, I can change it"When he began studying psychiatry, Dr. Daniel Amen's dad asked him why he didn't want to become a "real doctor". And that was just the beginning of a career full of profession-related misconceptions, including the stigma-loaded narrative that psychiatry is only for "crazy" people.But instead of accepting the prevailing narrative, Dr. Amen worked to revolutionize the psychiatric field from within. Having been trained as an x-ray technician, Dr. Amen was one of extremely few psychiatric doctors who was actually interested in studying the brain itself. Using controversial brain-imaging SPECT scans has allowed him to catch problems in the brain before they develop into more serious conditions (such as Alzheimer's), and also to identify the physical causes of trauma (i.e. alcohol, physical trauma, nutrition).Dr. Amen has overcome huge social and institutional pressures in his career, to become America's "most famous psychiatrist". He has also published multiple best-selling books (including a #1 New York Times bestseller called Memory Rescue).In this episode of the podcast....Dr. Daniel Amen, talks to Dr. Gundry about why he hates the term "mental illness", why getting less sleep hinders your ability to make good decisions (gulp!), how you can actively change your mood by killing ANTs (automatic negative thoughts), and why he believes that psychiatric problems are actually brain problems.Get in touch with Daniel Amen:Website - YouTube - Linkedin -TwitterI WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU!

For those of us following the Plant Paradox, or any diet for that matter, it can be difficult to toe the line between finding dietary "alternatives", and straight up cheating on the diet. It doesn't help when we see items on the "no" list proudly displayed at the local health food store. Or, when a food item becomes so popular, we can't distinguish whether it's a fad or... actually healthy.For many people (and despite hours of Googling), these questions go unanswered. This is why Dr. Gundry is back with another Q&A episode of the podcast: to help you ditch the fads and keep on track with your health goals!

We can all fall into traps and bad habits when it comes to nutrition, particularly when items are marketed as health foods. And fruit is a huge trap for a lot of people.As dedicated Dr. Gundry listeners already know: our bodies were not designed to eat fruit all year round. However, since we've evolved to salivate at the sight of yummy fruits (as a means to bulk up for winter), it becomes really hard to resist those juicy-looking clementines in the produce aisle.In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Gundry answers your questions and helps you reconcile the gap between what you want to eat, and what you should be eating.

Food and nature author, Eugenia Bone and Dr. Gundry talk about the importances of microbes (aka gut bugs) in this episode. Microbiology is the new frontier in human health, agriculture, and environmental science, for starters. It is the science of life, and yet most people don't have the chops to understand what is being discovered and reported on. Fifty percent of the world is microbial, which means if we don't have a little microbiology under our belts, we can't understand half of ourselves. Bone's work has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Food & Wine among other publications.
