Check out all my individual health protocols here >> Dr. Steven Gundry joined us today to talk about his book The Plant Paradox: The Hidden Dangers in ""Healthy"" Foods That Cause Disease and Weight Gain and the Plant Paradox diet. We talked about how to heal leaky gut, the power of lectins and what causes autoimmune diseases and so much more. Is leaky gut real? Many people will say that only natural medicine doctors talk about this mysterious thing called leaky gut. Leaky gut is real and there are many causes to what we call leaky gut. Some of these are glyphosates, and even gluten. These food molecules actually create tears in the villi inside our digestive tract. These villi are fed from the bacteria that live in our microbiome. If undigested food particles pass through the "tight junctions" then they make it into our blood stream in much larger sizes than they should be. The result is leaky gut, irritible bowwel syndrome (IBS), colitis or crohn's disease. It's been said that all disease begins in the gut and health begins in the colon. The ability for human beings to be able to effectively break down, process and absorb vitamins and minerals from our food depends on the integrity of our gut lining and mucousa. If food particle are able to pass through the walls of our intestines directly into our blood stream it creates an immune response. If this happens for long periods of time the results is some long term chronic disease like auto immune diseases and even colon cancer. Dr. Steven Gundry's Plant Paradox diet and Plant Paradox recipe book gets into lectins and how lectins bind to certain cells in our body and create high levels of inflammation in the body resulting in diseases. We get into... * What foods are high in lectins * Why lectins must be avoided * Why you should remove lectins before healing your gut * How immunity works in plants * What lectins do once ingested * Ideas for optimal gut health * The role of polyphenols * and much more! I hope you enjoy this Dr. Gundry video and interview we did with Dr. Gundry. There are many things you can do to heal your gut like take Restore from Dr. Zach Bush, consume Aloe Vera, Colostrom, bone broth and more but if you're continually ingesting foods high in lectins that are poking holes in your digestive tract then you're not getting to the root of digestive woes!
