Thank you Dr.Gundry! I have been watching your podcast for long time, and my whole family benefit from your healthy diet information a lot. I shared my health discoveries with my friends, they bought and read your Plant Paradox, and they are changing their diet. My husband has terrible insulin resistance problems and I also have family gene for high blood sugar after meals. I read your books, Plant Paradox and Diet Revolution. I learned tons of very effective ways to make food choices. My husband is doing very well without taking medicine, and I changed my food list and my eating habits , I feel much healthier now and I am confident that I will continue to improve our life quality with your pleasant and healthy podcasts. 👍Wish you a very happy and prosperous life ahead.🙏Thanks a lot!❤️
IGF-1 is why non vegans retain a youthful appearance and don't look prematurely aged. It has a dark side as well if a diet isn't well balanced with enough plant foods. IGF-1 is basically the active form of growth hormone. Its primarily made in the liver and keeps us looking youthful.
Dr Gundry, I'm a huge fan - thank you for all you do, calm approach and sharing your healing knowledge with us🙏💖 Please keep posting your Q&A videos as well as continue your research and writing your great 📚 papers/books!!
Hi Dr Gundry! I love your videos and I sure learn a lot every time! I usually make your book recipes and I love them! Can you help me decide if I should have a dental implant? I’ve been researching and I’m afraid to have a metal in my body. What option would be the healthiest in your opinion?Thank you so much!
Dr. Gundry, You mentioned slippery elm tea as part of your daily routine. Could you tell, or have you already told, us what your everyday regimen is. If I remember correctly, you change it up according to the season? Should WE also develop a regimen and change it up periodically? If so, what are the advantages to doing so? I am grateful to you for all your work...writing books, making videos, seeing patients...makes me tired just thinking about it. 🙂
Thank you dr. G The problem that’s driving me crazy is that l am not sure anymore of what is right to do or what’s not. Most respected doctors tend to recommend contradictory advice when it comes to fight disease or maintain good health… No fruit, no rice , no bread , no dairy or animal protein, no beans , no soy ,no saturated fat and the list is endless… Help us
white basmati rice is ok just cook it then cool it then reheat it, white sourdough bread is fine but not to much, Butter is excellent as long as it's org, eggs are good as long as they are org or free-range. chicken is good esp if you marinate it overnight. blindly following anything is a bad idea, find what works for you. do your own research. avoid cold foods and drinks as the body has to work hard to warm them up to body temp eat slowly and chew your food well, really really well and I promise you will see an improvement.

Great episode as always! I never hear you nor anyone talk about the SPLEEN! What exactly does it do and is there a specific food that would help keep it healthy? You saved my life Dr G! Love love love you!!!
Dear Dr. Gundry, I am so grateful to you for your discoveries re lectins, as it has restored my ability to walk and use my arms again. Before "The Plant Paradox," it looked like I was destined to a very painfully arthritic future! So I could not be more grateful to or have greater respect for you. That said, there is one subject, however, on which your advice seems to conflict with all others, & about which I am totally at a loss as to what to believe, bcz your info is sooo different from that of all the other doctors I also respect and follow on YT. That subject is our daily requirement of PROTEIN! And specifically, how much I need to eat and from where to obtain it, since I am currently obese and still attempting to burn off my fat by healing my insulin resistance w a low-carb, moderate fat, "moderate" protein, essentially "keto" diet. I am also 73 yrs young, w already obvious muscle loss, and have heard that muscle loss is actually the greatest health concern for those in my age group and older! So altho I know there is considerable conflict between the diet protocols for longevity and those for building muscle, and that emphasizing either means compromising the other, I simply can't figure out which to emphasize at this stagenof my life...or at any stage hereafter, at my age. So my questions are these: If I reduce my intake of animal proteins - and protein in general - to the level of daily protein that you say we actually need (around 30 grams?), won't I be compromising my muscle strength to a dangerous extent? I always read that there is a greater need for protein after age 60-65, w recommended numbers of grams well over 100 per day! And so, I am really scared to go very much below that. So ... can you PLEASE address the protein needs of seniors such as myself? Thank you so, so much in advance!
One of the best sources is Dr. Gundry's books and one of his podcasts. Go to his UA-cam channel and do a search. I think this subject is pretty recent. Also, go to Dr. William Davis, MD,'s UA-cam channel and do the same thing. He's also a cardiologist and super smart. He's the author of "Wheat Belly". Can't for wrong with either one. Davis is excellent. Gundry says that Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease caused by lectins. He'd put you on a lectin free diet like he has many of this patients suffering from the same thing. Don't worry. Hashimoto's is definitely reversable as are most all, if not all autoimmune "diseases" ... which are really symptoms to something in your diet that shouldn't be there.

As someone who loves green olives not just EVOO I eat them daily after having been thoroughly soaked in water to remove most of the salt. Thing is I'm concerned after reading that olives snd EVOO contain palmitic acid which raises ldl cholesterol, wondering if I should moderate my intake more?

Is red wine preferable to non-alcoholic grape juice, and do you think resveratrol may for some reason only be fully beneficial when consumed with alcohol? Do you agree with the claim that moderate alcohol in-take is more beneficial to health than teetotalism?
That's interesting. I just watched a video - or read an article (I forget already, lol) - that linked alzheimers directly to insulin resistance, if that's any help.

Thank you dr. Gundry for answering our questions. I've been following the plant paradox since the book came out the tune of about 80 20, skin issues, joint pains, prediabetes are all gone! I have a question about squashes and melons. I had thought that you had termed them as native to the Americas and therefore a no no, but I recently saw that bottle gourd, which should be related to both, was traced back to Africa.

Gundry's dietary wisdom regarding lectins, in his own words, is predicated on Dr.Adamo's blood types. He mentions this in his books and a few podcasts. Pretty interesting! It makes sense with so many people I've advised nutritionally + family members.

Doctor Gundry, I enjoy lifting weights 5x a week pretty heavy and intense training. I also have been doing keto for over 9 months and I really don’t like how I feel on keto and lifting weights. I enjoy being on keto I have more energy, less brain fog and healthier skin and hair, but my progress in the gym is close to none. Should I increase my protein and do a modified ketogenic diet or will my body eventually adapt to being a bodybuilder on keto and I should stick to the traditional keto diet plan?
I’m very glad you asked this question. My teenage daughter is doing her best to weightlift and eat healthy-grain free, sugar-free foods, yet her energy level will decrease dramatically and I suggest lots of greens and items such as sweet potatoes, even healthy animal meats, yet she is always so tired and weightlifting is a trendy exercise for teens. I tell her to not worry so much on the weights and to exercise for longevity (protecting her knees, etc) but she insists on weightlifting to achieve the glutes so admired on social media. 🍑
hey, i was going 6-7 times in the gym for around (1,5-2h (way too much)) and i was trying to implement keto on that. I lost my libido (too much cortisol) i started balding and got some gray hairs. I didnt felt tired at all. After i implement an reasonable amount of carbs back in it all stopped. I realy like the approach of SiimLand (youtube) he is mainly keto but on workout days he eats around 150-200g carbs for optimal recovery (from potatos) but hes extreme insulin sensitive and he takes some berberine and chromium with it (whouldnt recommend chromium because its cancerogenic) after writing this i noticed thats not realy helpfull at all :D in my opinion you should max out gym results because there many studies that linked less muscles to all caused mortalitys and if youre insulin sensitive there isnt really a big need for keto in my opinion. And to keep the more energy less brain fog effects you could do it like andrew huberman and only eat some carbs in the evening (will also improve sleep quality)
@@Southernly lol, tragic.ever thought of just getting her off the Instagram instead? Antisocial media are not real life. The women she sees there are all surged up and photoshoped.
I love the spirulina Energy Bits tablets talked about on episode 165. Great, clean source and no more drinking green slime!! They are more expensive but worth it to know it's a good source.
I’ve been using these for about two months and absolutely loved them, i take both Spirulina for energy and Clorella as revovery , they’re worth the price.
Hi Dr. Gundry. Does Kelp provide us with Iodine? I take one kelp tablet everyday. I do not take multivitamin any more except vitamin D# and K2, Chlorella and spirulina from Now product. I try to eat from various group of food with two meals a day to get all the vitamins. Surprisingly, I feel much better compared to the time I was taking Multivitamin
Dr. Gundry, Thank you for answering our questions. It's really very helpful as well as encouraging. Unfortunately for you 😉 it seems that answers can lead to more questions.😲 For instance... fish oil. What are resolvents and what do they do ? I've never heard that term before so I'm very curious. Thank you again. I'm already looking forward to the next Q&A session!💙💚💜
Love the depth to which this information goes. In the case of iodine from seafood, how much wild seafood would one have to get to receive an optimal amount? What are other good sources, aside from seafood?
Hi, I believe I read on your website about there being a blood test to determine if someone is lectin sensitive. Could you please give the name(s) of that test? Thanks
16:43 REALLY, 120 supplements and 80 at night ?? Thats discouraging, I'm doing good sticking to Energy Paradox program, OMAD AND 200 SUPPLEMENTS ??? NOT sure what to think of that!!! Borderline obsessive...
I can’t take my vitamins near bed cause of the b vitamins but can’t take early in the day due to the magnesium cause it makes me tired so idk when to take it ?
Always take magnesium before bed, and of you exercise intensely, take potassium in the morning or day. Always take B-vitamins early in the day, and in the form of co-enzyme B vitamins. "B-Right" is a good brand from Jarrow, and at a good price of $13.00 + change.
My god I need YOU AS MY dr, I’m just totally lost here ugh, you mentioned to reduced Animal protein but what about meats , is that ok again confused and new here
Gundry's two books, "The Longevity Paradox" [especially that one] and "The Energy Paradox", and to a bit lesser extent, his 1st book, "The Plant Paradox" lay out the rational for this dietary suggestion. Read his books and you'll feel A LOT better-not lost at all. It's red meat that is problematic with most people in terms of [at least, eventually] creating systemic inflammation. I learned a lot from the chapter that covers this subject, including the concept of molecular mimicry.
But the book "Energy Paradox" it will answer all your questions, and its worth learning the amazing content, learning how to be healthy, what price do u put on that ?
Hi. I have been following Claudia Curici"s recipes from creative in my kitchen. I make her lectin every day bread. She uses three different fours in the two hundred and twenty gram bread. The recipe has 150 grams of Cassava flour ,25 grams of almond four and 20 grams of tiger-nut flour as well as 20grams of flaxmeal and psyllium husk.. I wondered why she used three different fours, obviously the simple carbohydrate in only Cassava buy it self would be why too high. Hence the reason only three quarters of the bread is cassava why the other quarter is amount, tiger-nut and flaxseed. Altogether making a substantial 220 grams of heavy lectin free bread. The penny only dropped this morning after listening to the podcast and Steven Grundy commenting on the over use of simple carbohydrates in my case Cassava.I just wanted to share . Martin
For those of us that like to lift weights, how do I eat less animal protein and still maintain and grow muscle? I've tried to eat more green leaves and vegetables and nuts but I still drop weight
Great question with a answer that might appeal to you. I'm in the same postion and am a nutritionist (MS) who has experimented with every seemingly good and absolutely stupid diet there is. Gundry is rightly concerned with red meat [as he keenly explains in, I think, "The Longevity Paradox", and maybe a bit overconcerned with fish IF you're talking about athletes and bodybuilders. ONE: Fish. Look how strong Pacific Islanders are! If necessary due to kitchen and/or time restraints, buy yellowfin tuna, line-caught albacore, sardines, canned salmon [Trader Joe's] and any shellfish that you enjoy. Canned is OK. Fresh is always better. TWO: Eggs. Just don't cook them on high heat. Keep the heat low to moderate so as to not glycate the protein [crispy albumin] and not destroy the fat soluble vitamins + delicate phospholipids contained in the yoke. Famous trainer in Glendale, CA, Vince Garanda, [look him up] put competitors like Larry Scott and Frank Zane on 36 raw eggs a day in heavy whipping cream + unlimited vegetable for the 3 months before competitions. It works like taking low-dose dianabol. THREE: Buffalo mozarella [Italian style]. Goat's cheese. Cheese and other dairy made with Casein A2 milk [approved by Gundry]. High quality whey protein powder like "Precision Iso", in which the whey isn't denatured and stevia is used, NOT sucralose. FOUR: The only bar I've found-there are probably a dozen more-that is reasonably good is from the company "NuGo". It's called "Stronger Whey Protein Bar". 23 grams per bar.
I'm having a ct calcium scan....in November ...so I've been following your diet ... I have a mild regurgetaing aortic valve... Dr said not to worry ...72 years young lady single active pilates yoga walking weights swimming...but hate radiation ....is ct calcium scan dangerous .... no contrast.... thanks 😊❤️
Dr Gundry, I keep having reactive hypoglycaemia (few hours after meal) if I fast till midday and then have a high carb meal even sweet potato. What’s wrong with me?? I’m 30 years old male and thin. Blood sugars are otherwise normal. P.s I’m loving the new book energy paradox 👌🏼
Blood sugars don't really reflect insulin levels or insulin resistance until IR is long-standing and much damage already done. So it seems likely your body is over-producing insulin when you break your fast with carbs (or probably anytime you eat them). So you might want to get tested for insulin, OR just assume you have IR & modify your diet accordingly. And to do that, I would start w reducing your carbs & watching videos by Dr. Jason Fung. As to how to break your fast, however, there are some good videos on the best way to "break fast," but most times I hear the same recommendation: to break w a lean protein. And even Dr. Gundry recommends breaking on only one macro, preferably protein unless you are fat adapted, in which case you could break on a fat, like avocado. But for most of us, carbs are not the best way to start our eating schedule each day, bcz it not only raises insulin rapidly but also creates a situation where we are then triggered to overproduce each time we eat for the rest of the day! Protein, however, which also raises insulin, also raises something that offsets it (I forget what it's called), which protects us from the unwanted insulin effects. So I would definitely try breaking your fast w lean protein and see how you do w that. I'm not a health expert, however; just know this was a question of mine, too, and this is what I read. And it's been working well for me. (I actually break w homemade bone broth, into which I add garlic, ginger, leeks, mushrooms, fresh greens like parsley, & sometimes an egg, then add ACV & EVOO. And I always feel great after this! I then follow it shortly after w my main meal of the day, with my digestive juices already primed by the ACV in the broth. ) Good luck!
Dr.Gundry. thank you so much. I am very confused now. You said almond is bad. However, most of your breakfast lectin free receipts contain almond flour... can you please clarify?
Congratulations Dr. for your interesting blog, and for keeping us informed on these important health issues. What do you think of the recent studies of omega 3 supplements, that they do not protect cardiovascular health, and that only fatty acids such as EPA, are the only ones we should take. I appreciate your comments in advance. Thank you Hector Huppertz

Dr Gundry! I love your 3 in one product, but just found out your company does not mail a receipt with the orders. Your customers need a receipt! Not everyone has a printer. That should be standard protocol. I called to ask for a mailed receipt and was denied. Can you address this please? It does not put a good light on your company. PS Thankyou for all your help and info!
Quest bars were originally my bars when I worked in the sports industry. Long story made short, the contract manufacturer-due to unforeseen and complicated circumstances resulting in the closing of my company-put the original formula into the hands of another company My point as a formulater? MY point is that corn fiber is not OK. Even if the corn is claimed to be non-GMO, thus apparently not contaminated with glyphosate, Round-up, or Bayer's "Liberty Link", it actually is contained with, at least, glyphosate because of the herbicide's use as a desiccant and seed growth promoter. All commercial and non-GMO wheat, rye, corn, barley, soy, alfalfa, oats, legumes, lentils and other stable crops are sprayed with Round-up to make harvesting easier on machinery and to speed up seed production. Only US certified organic foods are relatively safe to eat. Corn fiber production is as pernicious as seed oil production. Edge Bars went downhill so as to improve bottomline margins. They use to be BIG sellers at my gym and market. Now they're not even carried.
Japan has the most available types of eggs and eat more eggs than anywhere else including the most expensive ones and they create especially healthy eggs by feeding the hens certain diets...I am sure?
I watched over youtube that there are specialty expensive eggs in Japan where the hens are being fed with paprika which gives the yolk a dark orange hue and better taste.

Doctor Gundry, I enjoy lifting weights 5x a week pretty heavy and intense training. I also have been doing keto for over 9 months and I really don’t like how I feel on keto and lifting weights. I enjoy being on keto I have more energy, less brain fog and healthier skin and hair, but my progress in the gym is close to none. Should I increase my protein and do a modified ketogenic diet or will my body eventually adapt to being a bodybuilder on keto and I should stick to the traditional keto diet plan?
I’m very glad you asked this question. My teenage daughter is doing her best to weightlift and eat healthy-grain free, sugar-free foods, yet her energy level will decrease dramatically and I suggest lots of greens and items such as sweet potatoes, even healthy animal meats, yet she is always so tired and weightlifting is a trendy exercise for teens. I tell her to not worry so much on the weights and to exercise for longevity (protecting her knees, etc) but she insists on weightlifting to achieve the glutes so admired on social media. 🍑
hey, i was going 6-7 times in the gym for around (1,5-2h (way too much)) and i was trying to implement keto on that. I lost my libido (too much cortisol) i started balding and got some gray hairs. I didnt felt tired at all. After i implement an reasonable amount of carbs back in it all stopped. I realy like the approach of SiimLand (youtube) he is mainly keto but on workout days he eats around 150-200g carbs for optimal recovery (from potatos) but hes extreme insulin sensitive and he takes some berberine and chromium with it (whouldnt recommend chromium because its cancerogenic) after writing this i noticed thats not realy helpfull at all :D in my opinion you should max out gym results because there many studies that linked less muscles to all caused mortalitys and if youre insulin sensitive there isnt really a big need for keto in my opinion. And to keep the more energy less brain fog effects you could do it like andrew huberman and only eat some carbs in the evening (will also improve sleep quality)
@@Southernly lol, tragic.ever thought of just getting her off the Instagram instead? Antisocial media are not real life. The women she sees there are all surged up and photoshoped.
I love the spirulina Energy Bits tablets talked about on episode 165. Great, clean source and no more drinking green slime!! They are more expensive but worth it to know it's a good source.
I’ve been using these for about two months and absolutely loved them, i take both Spirulina for energy and Clorella as revovery , they’re worth the price.
Hi Dr. Gundry. Does Kelp provide us with Iodine? I take one kelp tablet everyday. I do not take multivitamin any more except vitamin D# and K2, Chlorella and spirulina from Now product. I try to eat from various group of food with two meals a day to get all the vitamins. Surprisingly, I feel much better compared to the time I was taking Multivitamin
Doc, is it true that iodized salt is mixed with aluminum?
Dr. Gundry,
Thank you for answering our questions. It's really very helpful as well as encouraging.
Unfortunately for you 😉 it seems that answers can lead to more questions.😲
For instance... fish oil. What are resolvents and what do they do ?
I've never heard that term before so I'm very curious.
Thank you again. I'm already looking forward to the next Q&A session!💙💚💜
Love the depth to which this information goes. In the case of iodine from seafood, how much wild seafood would one have to get to receive an optimal amount? What are other good sources, aside from seafood?
Iodized salt
Dr. Gundry, you state that sucralose is not good for us. Can it be taken in moderation or do we need to eliminate it completely from our diet?
Good day doc, just want to ask what brand of non synthetic and affordable vit, c do you recommend?
What about almond milk?
Hi, I believe I read on your website about there being a blood test to determine if someone is lectin sensitive. Could you please give the name(s) of that test? Thanks
Buy the book it's worth the investment in your health...
Loved the episode 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻💖🌹
What you think about Jaggery power?
Thank you Dr gundry, for helping today's modern peoples with today's modern ailments. Which can affect us all so very much.
Eat eggs and meat everyday !!!!
16:43 REALLY, 120 supplements and 80 at night ?? Thats discouraging, I'm doing good sticking to Energy Paradox program, OMAD AND 200 SUPPLEMENTS ??? NOT sure what to think of that!!! Borderline obsessive...
Do you need vitamin k2 so that your body will absorb the vitamin D?
I can’t take my vitamins near bed cause of the b vitamins but can’t take early in the day due to the magnesium cause it makes me tired so idk when to take it ?
Always take magnesium before bed, and of you exercise intensely, take potassium in the morning or day. Always take B-vitamins early in the day, and in the form of co-enzyme B vitamins. "B-Right" is a good brand from Jarrow, and at a good price of $13.00 + change.

Thank you! It's about time someone posted this!! He should have time stamped each subject!!
What about Milkadamia containing Sunflower lectins
How do you know if you are effected by almonds?
My god I need YOU AS MY dr, I’m just totally lost here ugh, you mentioned to reduced Animal protein but what about meats , is that ok again confused and new here
Gundry's two books, "The Longevity Paradox" [especially that one] and "The Energy Paradox", and to a bit lesser extent, his 1st book, "The Plant Paradox" lay out the rational for this dietary suggestion. Read his books and you'll feel A LOT better-not lost at all.
It's red meat that is problematic with most people in terms of [at least, eventually] creating systemic inflammation. I learned a lot from the chapter that covers this subject, including the concept of molecular mimicry.
So we shouldn’t eat wild caught fish as in sardines or salmon more than once day? Thanks so much. Dr. G!
But the book "Energy Paradox" it will answer all your questions, and its worth learning the amazing content, learning how to be healthy, what price do u put on that ?
Dr Gundry greetings from Wales, UK
Do apricot seeds (B12) have lectins?
Hi.
I have been following Claudia Curici"s recipes from creative in my kitchen. I make her lectin every day bread. She uses three different fours in the two hundred and twenty gram bread. The recipe has 150 grams of Cassava flour ,25 grams of almond four and 20 grams of tiger-nut flour as well as 20grams of flaxmeal and psyllium husk.. I wondered why she used three different fours, obviously the simple carbohydrate in only Cassava buy it self would be why too high. Hence the reason only three quarters of the bread is cassava why the other quarter is amount, tiger-nut and flaxseed. Altogether making a substantial 220 grams of heavy lectin free bread. The penny only dropped this morning after listening to the podcast and Steven Grundy commenting on the over use of simple carbohydrates in my case Cassava.I just wanted to share . Martin
Konkac noodles are not banned in Australia 🇦🇺
That always happens... The recipe is prime, then they change it.
We have real eggs in Switzerland too!
For those of us that like to lift weights, how do I eat less animal protein and still maintain and grow muscle? I've tried to eat more green leaves and vegetables and nuts but I still drop weight
Great question with a answer that might appeal to you. I'm in the same postion and am a nutritionist (MS) who has experimented with every seemingly good and absolutely stupid diet there is.
Gundry is rightly concerned with red meat [as he keenly explains in, I think, "The Longevity Paradox", and maybe a bit overconcerned with fish IF you're talking about athletes and bodybuilders.
ONE: Fish. Look how strong Pacific Islanders are! If necessary due to kitchen and/or time restraints, buy yellowfin tuna, line-caught albacore, sardines, canned salmon [Trader Joe's] and any shellfish that you enjoy. Canned is OK. Fresh is always better.
TWO: Eggs. Just don't cook them on high heat. Keep the heat low to moderate so as to not glycate the protein [crispy albumin] and not destroy the fat soluble vitamins + delicate phospholipids contained in the yoke.
Famous trainer in Glendale, CA, Vince Garanda, [look him up] put competitors like Larry Scott and Frank Zane on 36 raw eggs a day in heavy whipping cream + unlimited vegetable for the 3 months before competitions. It works like taking low-dose dianabol.
THREE: Buffalo mozarella [Italian style]. Goat's cheese. Cheese and other dairy made with Casein A2 milk [approved by Gundry]. High quality whey protein powder like "Precision Iso", in which the whey isn't denatured and stevia is used, NOT sucralose.
FOUR: The only bar I've found-there are probably a dozen more-that is reasonably good is from the company "NuGo". It's called "Stronger Whey Protein Bar". 23 grams per bar.
Thanks gundry, do you have a multivitamin product,
I'm having a ct calcium scan....in November ...so I've been following your diet ... I have a mild regurgetaing aortic valve... Dr said not to worry ...72 years young lady single active pilates yoga walking weights swimming...but hate radiation ....is ct calcium scan dangerous .... no contrast.... thanks 😊❤️
Does flax meal cause leaky gut

Dr Gundry, I keep having reactive hypoglycaemia (few hours after meal) if I fast till midday and then have a high carb meal even sweet potato. What’s wrong with me?? I’m 30 years old male and thin. Blood sugars are otherwise normal. P.s I’m loving the new book energy paradox 👌🏼
Blood sugars don't really reflect insulin levels or insulin resistance until IR is long-standing and much damage already done. So it seems likely your body is over-producing insulin when you break your fast with carbs (or probably anytime you eat them).
So you might want to get tested for insulin, OR just assume you have IR & modify your diet accordingly. And to do that, I would start w reducing your carbs & watching videos by Dr. Jason Fung.
As to how to break your fast, however, there are some good videos on the best way to "break fast," but most times I hear the same recommendation: to break w a lean protein. And even Dr. Gundry recommends breaking on only one macro, preferably protein unless you are fat adapted, in which case you could break on a fat, like avocado.
But for most of us, carbs are not the best way to start our eating schedule each day, bcz it not only raises insulin rapidly but also creates a situation where we are then triggered to overproduce each time we eat for the rest of the day!
Protein, however, which also raises insulin, also raises something that offsets it (I forget what it's called), which protects us from the unwanted insulin effects. So I would definitely try breaking your fast w lean protein and see how you do w that.
I'm not a health expert, however; just know this was a question of mine, too, and this is what I read. And it's been working well for me. (I actually break w homemade bone broth, into which I add garlic, ginger, leeks, mushrooms, fresh greens like parsley, & sometimes an egg, then add ACV & EVOO. And I always feel great after this! I then follow it shortly after w my main meal of the day, with my digestive juices already primed by the ACV in the broth. )
Good luck!
@@cherylh4688 agree , I do cook similar . People should pay attention on blood group and what to eat according to it
What's your view on using Lupin beans as they are popular among my keto friends. Cheers.
Dr.Gundry. thank you so much.
I am very confused now. You said almond is bad. However, most of your breakfast lectin free receipts contain almond flour... can you please clarify?
EAT 10 ALMONDS EVERY MORNING DEEPED IN WATER OVERNIGHT, IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR MEMORY. I DON'T EAT THE SKIN.
Congratulations Dr. for your interesting blog, and for keeping us informed on these important health issues.
What do you think of the recent studies of omega 3 supplements, that they do not protect cardiovascular health, and that only fatty acids such as EPA, are the only ones we should take. I appreciate your comments in advance.
Thank you

Can we eat eggs even if they are feed with corn?
I do intermittent fasting and the Bvitamins don’t do well for me on an empty stomach. But I on,y eat from after lunch until about 6:30-7. What do you recommend
I use nutritional yeast
Dr Gundry! I love your 3 in one product, but just found out your company does not mail a receipt with the orders. Your customers need a receipt! Not everyone has a printer. That should be standard protocol. I called to ask for a mailed receipt and was denied. Can you address this please? It does not put a good light on your company. PS Thankyou for all your help and info!
What about that study that states too many eggs is colorectal cancer risk?

Hey Dr. Gundry what about bitter vegetables like bitter ground
it’s in his book buy it, it’s a worth it, what kind of price do you put on your Health?
“Energy Paradox”
Quest bars were originally my bars when I worked in the sports industry. Long story made short, the contract manufacturer-due to unforeseen and complicated circumstances resulting in the closing of my company-put the original formula into the hands of another company My point as a formulater?
MY point is that corn fiber is not OK. Even if the corn is claimed to be non-GMO, thus apparently not contaminated with glyphosate, Round-up, or Bayer's "Liberty Link", it actually is contained with, at least, glyphosate because of the herbicide's use as a desiccant and seed growth promoter.
All commercial and non-GMO wheat, rye, corn, barley, soy, alfalfa, oats, legumes, lentils and other stable crops are sprayed with Round-up to make harvesting easier on machinery and to speed up seed production.
Only US certified organic foods are relatively safe to eat. Corn fiber production is as pernicious as seed oil production. Edge Bars went downhill so as to improve bottomline margins. They use to be BIG sellers at my gym and market. Now they're not even carried.
Wow, thank you for sharing this information. Please, what energy bar/protein bar or supplements do you use/recommend?
@@Southernly No bars period. Every bar is simply manufactured food. Avoid bars stick to whole foods.
Good stuff
Love you 😚

we also have an epidemic where we get sugar in our bodies and discriminate salt, so that doesnt help either.
Japan has the most available types of eggs and eat more eggs than anywhere else including the most expensive ones and they create especially healthy eggs by feeding the hens certain diets...I am sure?
I watched over youtube that there are specialty expensive eggs in Japan where the hens are being fed with paprika which gives the yolk a dark orange hue and better taste.
Dr Gundry are teff grain lectins free?
