The SHOCKING TRUTH About The Carnivore Diet You NEED TO KNOW!| EP 420.A

Let's be clear: Dr. Gundry has NOTHING against the carnivore diet as an elimination diet. In fact, some of his patients practice it, and it does support their gut health because it removes all lectin-containing compounds in your diet. But there’s much more information you need to know if you plan on practicing this diet. That’s why in this episode he will be discussing the shocking truth about the carnivore diet you need to know.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if I told you the "healthiest bread on earth" comes from a recipe that was originally supposed to be baked over human feces?It's true, and that recipe is straight out of the Bible.Right now, the internet is obsessed with the so-called Bible diet, also known as the Biblio diet, Promised Land diet, the Daniel diet, or simply biblical eating, but most of what's out there is cherry-picked scripture with zero context.So I decided to do it properly: chapter and verse, calling out what ancient eating habits actually got right, and where scripture needs a serious update.By the end, I'll give you my own Plant Paradox version of the biblical diet, the modern nutrition rules ancient wisdom got right thousands of years before science caught up.For full show notes and transcript: https://drgundry.com/is-the-biblio-diet-healthy On this episode, you’ll learn:  The one Bible verse that sums up an entire ancient diet in a single line, and why it still holds up today (03:20)Why the "butter" in Genesis wasn't anything like what's in your fridge, and what it means for your gut (04:39)The surprisingly smart trick ancient people used on their beans and lentils that most home cooks skip today (08:30)Why biblical households rarely ate their own cows, goats, or chickens (09:38)Why I disagree with Leviticus on shellfish (10:40)The real reason ancient grains may have existed, and it might not be for the bread you're thinking of (14:38)My three modern fixes to the "Biblio diet," plus the full Gundry-fied version you can start eating this week (16:21)Why fermenting sourdough does NOT do what everyone claims it does for gluten (16:21)Thank you to our sponsors!

Traveling back in time is impossible. Giving your cells a fresh start is not. In this episode, I dig into stem cells: what wakes them up, why the wall of your gut matters so much, and the two very different ways cells die. One causes inflammation. The other, called autophagy, lets your body rebuild itself from the inside out. I break down how time-restricted eating, polyphenols, and mitochondrial uncoupling work together to build a genuinely new you every three months. Plus, a great question on probiotic toothpaste, and why gut dysbiosis keeps showing up in my migraine patients.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Everyone's chasing the wellness hack that'll finally crack the code on living longer: cold plunges, biological age tests, or extreme fasts.But my guest today just wrote an entire book making the opposite argument: most of that noise doesn't matter nearly as much as we think, and the real answer to a long, healthy life is a lot simpler than the wellness industry wants you to believe.Dr. Ezekiel "Zeke" Emanuel is a Harvard-trained oncologist, Vice Provost for Global Initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania, and a former special advisor on health policy to the Obama administration. His new book, Eat Your Ice Cream: Six Simple Rules for a Long and Healthy Life, lays out six evidence-based rules for a longer, better life.This one will change how you think about "doing wellness right."For full show notes and transcript: https://drgundry.com/zeke-emanuel-longevity-rules-eat-your-ice-creamOn this episode, you’ll learn:  Why perfectionism should NOT be your goal when it comes ot healthy habits (3:37)Why early retirement could be quietly speeding up cognitive decline (10:12)The simple "wellness trifecta" that is way easier than you’d think (14:17)A surprisingly consistent habit shared by nearly every person who lives past 100 (21:44)How a nightly scoop of the right ice cream might actually lower your risk of type 2 diabetes (24:48)Why doing THIS has a real edge over structured workouts when it comes to protecting your brain (29:44)Why Dr. Emanuel refuses to do this standard male screening test (34:12)One small fix for the late-night screen habit that's sabotaging your sleep (43:48)The actual evidence-based guidance on wine and longevity (49:46)Thank you to our sponsors!

Sugar isn't just a habit; it's one of the most addictive substances in our diet, and most of us don't even realize how much we're consuming. In this episode, I'm breaking down my simple, four-step method for kicking a sugar addiction for good, without feeling deprived.I'll show you exactly where sugar hides on food labels (hint: it's not where you think), teach you the quick math trick that reveals the real sugar content in any packaged food, and explain why "healthier" sugars like honey, agave, and coconut sugar are still sugar. I'm also breaking down why some fruits are secretly loaded with fructose, which ones are safer bets, and why fruit today isn't the same fruit your grandparents ate.I'll get personal too, sharing my own history with Diet Coke addiction and why artificial sweeteners can trick your brain into craving more sugar, not less. Plus, my go-to sugar substitutes, the dark chocolate brand I actually trust, and the "healthy Coke" recipe I first shared years ago that still holds up today.If you've ever felt like sugar has a grip on you, this episode gives you a real, sustainable path out — one small step at a time.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Big Pharma bet billions on one theory: clear the amyloid, cure Alzheimer's.A new Cochrane review of 20,000+ patients just proved them wrong — these drugs don't work, and they may be putting your brain at risk. So what's really driving this epidemic?My guest today, six-time New York Times bestselling author and board-certified neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter, says the answer lies in a set of cells most people have never even heard of — and he lays it all out in his new book, Brain Defenders.The good news is, you already have more control over them than any drug could ever give you.We're talking about microglia, the brain's immune cells, and why the choices you make today may matter more than anything a prescription pad can offer.For full show notes and transcript: https://drgundry.com/david-perlmutter-alzheimersOn this episode, you’ll learn:  All about the new study that found leading Alzheimer's drugs deliver almost no benefit (02:09)Why the so-called enemy in your brain is not what we thought at all (07:34)What microglia are, and why these overlooked immune cells may be the real gatekeepers of your brain's health (05:15)How everyday metabolic issues like blood sugar and insulin resistance can affect your brain (09:30)Why one in nine Americans over 65 is already living with dementia (and most don’t know it) (14:08)The surprising connection between Parkinson's, depression, and even autism spectrum conditions (15:11)How THIS lifestyle program helped 70% of Alzheimer's patients stabilize or even improve their cognitive function — no drugs required (17:09)The one mindset shift Dr. Perlmutter says has to happen before any diet or exercise plan will actually work for your brain (22:17)Why getting quality sleep does more for your brain than you think (27:49)The simple blood test you should request NOW to gauge your Alzheimer's risk (33:25)Why women make up two-thirds of Alzheimer's patients (35:29)The critical window for starting hormone replacement therapy (40:08)The truth about antibacterial mouthwash, and why it might be quietly working against your brain health (58:14)A 25-year-old flossing study that predicted exactly what today's top neurology journals are just now confirming (01:00:05)Dr. Perlmutter's honest answer to whether you should take the newer Alzheimer's drugs your doctor may be recommending (01:05:31)More about Dr. David Perlmutter:Dr. David Perlmutter’s websiteDr. David Perlmutter’s InstagramNew book: Brain Defenders: Harness the Power of Your Immune Cells to Protect Your Brain for Life by Dr. David PerlmutterResearch:Cochrane ReviewTanzi StudyThank you to our sponsors!
