Dr. Terry Wahls returns to the show to tackle hot topics like the keto diet and intermittent fasting, discuss whether fruit is really all it's cracked up to be, and discuss why gluten-free doesn't always mean there's no gluten at all. In 2000, Dr. Wahls was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and within a few years, she was confined to a wheelchair. But instead of just relying on conventional medicine, she radically transformed her diet. Within a year, she'd ditched the wheelchair — and the cane — and was back on her beloved bicycle. She chronicled this remarkable change in her book The Wahls Protocol (which is now out in a new edition). Dr. Terry Wahls is a professor at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, a bestselling author, and one of the foremost experts on the power of nutrition to reverse autoimmune disease.

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.

We also chat about his incredible, record-breaking treks around the globe, and how YOU can become a runner too... even if you hate running!
