Why Dr. Gundry Changed his Mind on Gut Damaging Foods (and 5 other things)

Intro

• Dr. Steven Gundry discusses changes in his thinking over the last seven years, which he refers to as "Plant Paradox 2.0."

Leaky Gut Testing

• Dr. Gundry talks about the availability and importance of leaky gut testing, which measures intestinal permeability using a blood test.
• He emphasizes that leaky gut is not pseudoscience and can be measured objectively.

Causes of a Leaky Gut

• Dr. Gundry explains that autoimmune patients with leaky gut have IGG antibodies to wheat germ or glutenin, even if they are gluten-free.
• He discusses how people with celiac disease still have active disease even after following a gluten-free diet.

Food Sensitivities

• Dr. Gundry shares that 90% of readers of his book "The Plant Paradox" resolved their health issues, and food sensitivity testing has revealed individualized troublemakers causing leaky gut.
• He explains the difference between food sensitivities and food allergies and discusses the impact of leaky gut on the immune system.

Food Sensitivities (continued)

• Dr. Gundry elaborates on the role of food sensitivities in causing leaky gut and how identifying and removing troublemaking foods can lead to the resolution of leaky gut and autoimmune diseases.
• He explains the markers for diagnosing leaky gut, including zonulin and actin antibodies.

High-Dose NSAIDs (00:17:34)

• Taking high-dose NSAIDs like Advil and Aleve can cause autoimmune diseases and damage the gut barrier.
• Endurance athletes and people under chronic stress can also suffer from gut barrier issues.
• Blood flow to the gut is reduced during intense exercise, which can lead to intestinal wall damage and bloody diarrhea.

Dairy & Eggs (00:20:58)

• Many patients with autoimmune diseases initially react to forms of dairy, egg white, and egg yolk.
• Fermented dairy products, such as sheep and goat cheeses and yogurts, can be reintroduced for most people.
• Almonds and almond flour have been found to trigger joint pain and other health issues in some patients, leading to their elimination from the diet.
• Cashews have caused allergic reactions similar to poison oak in some individuals.

Beef, Lamb, Pork & Unfermented Milk (00:29:56)

• Sugar molecule new5GC in beef, lamb, pork, and unfermented milk can be harmful
• Consumption linked to coronary AR disease, dementia, arthritis, and cancer
• Antibodies against new5GC attack similar molecule new5AC
• Fermented animal products or milk eliminate new5GC
• Long-lived people consume fermented sheep and goat dairy products and sausage
• Fermented meat has beneficial bacteria
• People in Andorra have a high life expectancy and consume sausage daily

Glyphosate and European Wheat (00:29:56)

• Difference in wheat genetic alterations
• Glyphosate used as desiccant on grains in the US but almost non-existent in Europe
• Autoimmune conditions improve when consuming European wheat
• US grains are loaded with glyphosate, causing health issues

Oat Story (00:29:56)

• Banned herbicide used to make oak stalks shorter
• EPA loosened rules for the herbicide during the former administration's tenure
• All US oats, including healthy brands, are loaded with the banned herbicide
