"I want to teach them how to eat, so I never have to operate on them.” - Dr. Steven Gundry.

Dr. Steven Gundry isn't your average doctor. Armed with a prestigious degree from Yale University, 40 years experience as a renowned cardiothoracic surgeon, and a reputation for confronting medical challenges that others avoid, he's reshaping the landscape of healthcare. The results Dr. Gundry is seeing, most medical professionals say are impossible.

Central to Dr. Gundry's pioneering approach is a fundamental belief: our gut holds the key to our overall well-being. Through his groundbreaking work, epitomized in his bestselling book "The Plant Paradox”, his weekly Dr. Gundry Podcast, and his wait list-only clinics, he's enlightening millions about the pivotal role of gut health in fostering vitality. Yet, Dr. Gundry doesn't merely preach theory – his methods yield tangible, life-altering results. Astonishingly, up to 94% of his patients witness marked improvements in autoimmune diseases within a remarkably short span of a year under his expert care.

What distinguishes Dr. Gundry from his peers is his unwavering emphasis on prevention.

“I shouldn't operate on people and then teach them how to eat to avoid me in the future,” said Steven Gundry M.D. in the Biohack Yourself Documentary by Lolli Brands Entertainment. “I should teach them how to eat, and I'll never have to operate on them.”

Instead of adopting a reactive stance, he's empowering individuals with the knowledge to safeguard their health, potentially obviating invasive medical interventions proactively. However, Dr. Gundry's approach transcends conventional dietary advice. He's at the forefront of the biohacking movement, harnessing cutting-edge techniques to optimize health at a cellular level.

Dr. Steven Gundry's groundbreaking twist on Hippocrates’ assertion that "all disease begins in the gut" but also that “all disease can be cured in the gut” has become a cornerstone of his medical philosophy, evident in all his books like New York Times bestseller Longevity Paradox, and practice. Through extensive research and six-days-a-week clinical practice, Dr. Gundry has discovered a profound connection between gut health and a wide array of chronic diseases. According to his findings, 100% of his patients with autoimmune disorders exhibit a condition known as leaky gut. This condition, characterized by increased intestinal permeability, allows toxins, undigested food particles, toxic plant proteins called lectins, and harmful microbes to escape into the bloodstream, triggering inflammation and immune responses that can manifest as various autoimmune diseases.

Dr. Gundry's research doesn't stop at autoimmune disorders. He has also found that 100% of his patients with diabetes or pre-diabetes and those suffering from coronary artery disease exhibit signs of leaky gut when tested. This startling discovery underscores the critical role of gut health in developing and managing these prevalent conditions. By addressing the root cause – an impaired gut barrier – Dr. Gundry has successfully reversed these conditions in many patients.

Dr. Gundry's visionary work extends beyond individual wellness to encompass a broader societal perspective. He is a vocal advocate for raising awareness about the perilous consequences of glyphosate on crops and antibiotics in factory farming, advocating vehemently for a more sustainable approach to agriculture.

Shockingly, approximately 70% of antibiotics produced in the United States are administered to livestock on factory farms, not to treat illnesses, but to expedite growth and weight gain. These antibiotics, ingested unwittingly through our food supply, wreak havoc on our gut microbiome – a delicate ecosystem crucial for maintaining optimal health.

Moreover, Dr. Gundry elucidates the intricate relationship between antibiotics, gut health, and disease susceptibility. He underscores how these antibiotics disrupt the delicate balance of our gut microbiota, rendering us susceptible to an array of debilitating health conditions, ranging from compromised immunity to metabolic disorders.

"Antibiotics from the food we eat have destroyed our gut bacteria. The problem is that broad-spectrum antibiotics, which are fed to animals, along with acids, acid reducers, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals, have wiped out our gut's defensive line,” says Dr. Gundry. “It’s like calling people out of the stands to protect the quarterback; now there’s nobody to guard against plant compounds we normally would handle. The quarterback, us, is getting sacked every time, and we wonder why things are out of control. It's because we've lost the ability to manage these compounds."

Dr. Gundry's groundbreaking endeavors extend far beyond the realm of diet and antibiotics. Fearlessly challenging conventional wisdom, he has championed various unconventional approaches to health optimization, such as time-controlled eating and the elucidation of the intricacies of mitochondria function.

By challenging the status quo, Dr. Gundry is not only expanding the horizons of medical knowledge but also paving the way for transformative breakthroughs in healthcare.

Dr. Steven Gundry's innovative approach to health includes an emerging field known as biohacking – specifically, biohacking the intestines to function the way they’re supposed to.

Through his groundbreaking work, Dr. Gundry demonstrates that gut health is the cornerstone of overall wellness, and by fine-tuning this complex system, individuals can achieve profound health transformations.

One of the most compelling aspects of Dr. Gundry's work is the tangible results he sees in his patients. For instance, he recounts the story of a patient who, in just six months, saw three autoimmune markers return to negative.

This is not pseudoscience; these are measurable, verifiable outcomes that underscore the efficacy of his methods.

"I get to see this," Dr. Gundry says. "And again, that's why I show up for work every day, because I see now what I would have described as miraculous."

Dr. Gundry’s philosophy is rooted in the belief that health is in the individual's hands. By equipping people with knowledge and often inexpensive or free health hacks, he empowers them to take control of their own health. His teachings are not just about dietary changes but encompass a broader lifestyle overhaul that includes intermittent fasting, mindful eating, and avoiding harmful substances that disrupt gut health.

Programs like the upcoming "Biohack Yourself" documentary aim to spread this message far and wide. Dr. Gundry hopes these programs will help people understand that their health issues are not their fault and that there hope. With tweaks to diet and lifestyle we all can improve our well-being and longevity, despite whatever our genes say we are at risk of.

By demystifying the science and providing clear, actionable advice with his Yes and No foods list, Dr. Gundry is helping individuals realize that they have the power to biohack their way to better health, turning what was once thought impossible into achievable reality. He sees patients six days a week in his Palm Springs and Santa Barbara locations as well as virtually.

While Dr. Gundry's methods may seem audacious and controversial to some, his unwavering commitment to empowering individuals and challenging the norms of traditional medicine has catalyzed a revolution in healthcare. Through his relentless pursuit of knowledge and unparalleled dedication to improving health outcomes, Dr. Steven Gundry is not merely changing lives – he's reshaping the very fabric of healthcare for generations to come.
