DR. GUNDRY PODCAST: GUT HEALTH, WEIGHT LOSS, AND NUTRITION

What if I told you that the secret to better skin, a sharper brain, and a healthier heart could fit inside a single shot glass?

You've got a bottle of extra virgin olive oil sitting in your kitchen right now. I'd bet money on it. But I'd also bet you're only using it for one thing, cooking.

Every time you pop an antibiotic, you think you're winning the battle, but what if you're quietly losing the war? Sure, antibiotics can be lifesaving.

Or better yet: What studies show this will actually help my co...

NAD is everywhere right now: supplements, injections, podcast topics, longevity clinics. And I'll be honest, when something gets this trendy, I get skeptical. But NAD is different. This is actually something I've been watching closely for nearly 25 years, and the science has finally caught up. Here's what most people don't realize: the exhaustion, the brain fog, the slower recovery you've been cha...

You can't scroll through your feed for five seconds without seeing someone talking about Ozempic, Wegovy, or the newest GLP-1 drug. But here's what nobody is telling you: your body was already designed to make its own version of this appetite-suppressing hormone.  However, most of us have stopped feeding the good bacteria responsible for producing it. In this episode, I'm breaking down the gu...
