Today we're joined by cardiologist and best-selling author of
the Plant Paradox – Dr. Steven Gundry. Dr. Gundry shares with us
some of the hidden dangers of so-called "healthy" food and what we
should be looking out for in our diets.
We chat about one of the most talked-about items in healthy
food culture – gluten. Dr. Gundry shares that gluten is a type of
lectin, which is simply a plant protein that can actually be found
in lots of foods. But, while lots of people have started adopting a
gluten-free diet, that doesn't mean that they're avoiding lectins
altogether and these proteins can be associated with inflammation
and a variety of other health issues.
Dr. Gundry shares about how lectins affect people differently
and how so many diseases begin in the gut. He shares that by simply
eating and eliminating the right foods, many people are
seeing a reverse in inflammation, symptoms, and conditions. We also
chat about the seven deadly disruptors that Dr. Gundry shares in
his book and how these toxins are connected to so many health
issues.
The good news is this: there are tons of
substitutions we can make so we can still enjoy some of our
favorite foods while also avoiding these disrupting ingredients.
All in all, Dr. Gundry offers up tons of things to think about when
it comes to what we're fueling our bodies with and how we can trace
things back to our gut and overall wellbeing.
