Summary
My guest today is cardiologist, heart surgeon, medical researcher, and author, Dr. Steven Gundry.
Dr. Gundry and I go deep into a conversation around his latest book UNLOCKING THE KETO CODE. Many of us have attempted to be in "ketosis, "and not only is it nearly impossible, but it may not actually be the best thing for our health. We've all seen people who lost weight or have unlimited energy being in ketosis but there's quite a lot going on other than they never touch a carbohydrate. Dr. Gundry's latest book breaks down the science of keto that offers more benefits without the deprivation. In the end, it always seems to come back to metabolic flexibility and doing things that are great for the mitochondria.
Dr. Gundry still sees patients seven days a week because he believes this is where he can understand what patients are going through, and where he continues to learn himself. Dr. G is deeply dedicated to the research, and has a wonderful knack of explaining it in an every day and usable language, including practices that you can incorporate into your daily habits today.

| 0:00.0 | I'm Gabby Reese and welcome to the show. |
| 0:05.0 | Hi everyone, welcome to the show. |
| 0:07.0 | My guest today is Dr. Stephen Gundry, cardiologist, heart surgeon, medical researcher, and author. You know some of his past works like |
| 0:15.7 | Plant Paradox and today we're going to be discussing his latest book |
| 0:20.4 | unlocking the Keto Code. I really enjoyed this book because you know I'm |
| 0:26.2 | interested in being in ketosis or having that ability and it's it's pretty |
| 0:30.9 | frankly it's pretty hard to do and in some ways it's not, not only is it not sustainable, |
| 0:36.5 | it may not even really be the healthiest. |
| 0:39.2 | And I think as I certainly get further into these conversations, what I'm always learning and being reminded of is metabolic flexibility. |
| 0:48.0 | That yes, you would love to be burning your body stored fat, but if you eat a |
| 0:53.5 | carb you know that doesn't throw you into death spiral or bump you out of |
| 0:58.0 | ketosis and what Dr. Gundry does is explain to you first of all what is ketosis and also what are all the things |
| 1:08.1 | that signal the mitochondria to uncouple which is really one of the most beneficial things that happen while we're in |
| 1:15.6 | ketosis. So the goal isn't, I never eat a carb, you know, I only eat proteins, it's really |
| 1:21.8 | a difficult way to live. The idea is get as much information as you |
| 1:26.8 | can to understand all the ways that you can positively impact your health. |
| 1:32.5 | And that's, you know, even one of the things that signal it |
| 1:35.3 | is when you fast. |
| 1:37.0 | So he breaks it all down, he shares it. |
| 1:40.0 | There's a ton of research. |
| 1:41.9 | We get into not only ketosis and a deep discussion |
| 1:45.4 | about mitochondria uncypling, |
