Gut Check: The Power of Your Microbiome ...

Best In Wellness
About this episode

In this week's episode of The HEAL Podcast, I am thrilled to sit down with Dr. Steven Gundry, a renowned cardiothoracic surgeon who has transitioned from the operating room to a New York Times bestselling author focused on curing modern disease through healing the gut. His bestselling book, 'The Plant Paradox,' revolutionized the way we perceive and consume certain “health” foods. His newest book, 'Gut Check,' dives even deeper into the intricate relationship between our microbiome, our immune system, and our overall health. 

Within this episode, we discuss a number of his latest findings, including the groundbreaking science affirming Hippocrates' belief that all disease begins in the gut. We also explore the core content of 'Gut Check', which is set on providing a blueprint to rebalancing the microbiome and healing leaky gut which is the pre-cursor and/or cause of the rise of auto-immune conditions. This episode is rooted in science and overflowing with hope for anyone struggling with chronic or mystery illnesses.

Dr. Steven Gundry is an influential figure in health and nutrition who wears many hats. As the host of The Dr. Gundry Podcast and Founder/Director of The International Heart and Lung Institute Center for Restorative Medicine, he delves into the intersection of diet and disease elimination. Additionally, he is the creator of Gundry MD Wellness Products and has a prolific career boasting over 300 published articles in peer-reviewed journals. Tune in now to gain valuable perspectives on gut health and to discover practical strategies to optimize your well-being.
