How to heal your microbiome; the problem with fibre; and why it’s good to be gassy.
“We’ve done a pretty good job of trying to annihilate the most important part of us, and that's our microbiome. But the good news is that you can develop a good relationship with [it] and save your life if you're interested.” – Steven Gundry, M.D.
Whether it’s headaches, anxiety, heart problems, diabetes or cancer, most disease starts in the gut (especially if it’s a leaky gut). But finding a fix can be confusing–what exactly are you meant to eat?
Dr. Steven Gundry, a cardiothoracic surgeon by profession, pivoted his career after decades of treating heart patients to focus on food, nutrition and the gut.
After watching a patient recover from “untreatable” coronary artery disease through diet and supplements, what he once considered pseudoscience became the answer to many health problems.
Beginning with The Plant Paradox, Dr. Gundry has authored numerous bestselling books on how to eat to make nice with your gut and improve your energy. His latest, Gut Check: Unleash the Power of Your Microbiome to Reverse Disease and Transform Your Mental, Physical, and Emotional Health, goes even further into the influences of the microbiome on your mood and emotions. He also makes eating for gut health easier than ever before.
In this episode, Dr. Gundry explains how the gut is so deeply connected to our emotional and physical health, why he strongly believes in the power of supplements for regaining control over your health, and what exactly we should be adding to our diets to feed our microbiome.
