299: Heal Your Gut, Heal Your Mind: The Connection That Changes Everything with Dr. Gundry

What if the root of anxiety, depression, and chronic disease isn't in your mind—but in your gut? In this episode, Dr. Steven Gundry reveals how leaky gut triggers everything from autoimmune disorders to brain fog, and why healing begins with feeding the right bacteria that literally send messages to your brain. He breaks down the science of lectins, fermented foods, and why our ancestors' cooking methods hold the key to reversing inflammation and reclaiming mental clarity. Steven R. Gundry, MD, is the director of the International Heart and Lung Institute in Palm Springs, California, and the founder and director of the Center for Restorative Medicine in Palm Springs and Santa Barbara. After a distinguished surgical career as a professor and chairman of cardiothoracic surgery, Dr. Gundry changed his focus to curing modern diseases via dietary changes. He has written more than three hundred articles published in peer-reviewed journals on using diet and supplements to eliminate heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune disease, and multiple other diseases.
