Summary
I'm excited to welcome back Dr. Steven Gundry to The Human Upgrade for his sixth appearance, a tribute to his remarkable insights and ongoing research.
Dr. Gundry, a true pioneer, is renowned for his books like "The Plant Paradox" and his groundbreaking work on lectins, changing how we understand our body's reaction to food. He's also a top cardiothoracic surgeon and a leader in robotic cardiac surgery, with over two decades of research into the microbiome, using diet and nutrition as key treatment tools. His book, "Unlocking the Keto Code," and his wellness line, GundryMD, have made significant impacts in health and nutrition.
In this episode, we dive into cutting-edge research from his new book “Gut Check.” Dr. Gundry discusses the microbiome's connection to disease, and gut health's role in hormone regulation, crucial for mental health during menopause. He'll also share insights on dietary choices, the truth about parasites, and nicotine's unexpected role in longevity.
Dr. Gundry's transformative wisdom bridges traditional and alternative medicine. A big thank you to him for another enlightening visit. Thanks for joining us on this journey of discovery!

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the human upgrade with Dave Asprey. |
| 0:06.0 | Formerly, Bulletproof Radio. Hi. Dave Asbury. Today is an interview with a guy who's probably done more than you might know. |
| 0:29.2 | His name is Dr. Gundry, well-known guy and a friend. He's written the plant paradox and the |
| 0:36.0 | longevity paradox and the energy paradox and he's maybe best known for his work on |
| 0:40.8 | lectins, one of the plant toxins that he and I agree are causing some problems in people, not always in the same people the same way, but a big deal. |
| 0:50.0 | But what you probably don't know is he's also a pioneer in robotic cardiac surgery amongst other many different things |
| 0:58.0 | And on that note I actually had my first robotic surgery yesterday with a robot inside my abdomen floating around |
| 1:05.6 | stitching up a very small hernia that's been there for a while that I |
| 1:10.4 | decided to preventatively get repaired but I've never done robotic surgery before. |
| 1:14.0 | So it's kind of cool to be on the fun with someone who years ago has been a pioneer in robotic surgery because it's kind of amazing what you can do. So Dr. Gundry, appreciate your work in the world of |
| 1:23.8 | traditional and alternative medicine. Thanks for being here. Well good to see you |

| 1:50.0 | It's free. Now, there's your sixth time on the show. In fact, that's putting you up |
| 1:56.0 | there to be one of our most common guests. The last time was number 912 and so it's been a few hundred episodes since you're on. |
| 2:04.6 | I find you just have this incredible energy and curiosity about the world |
| 2:09.9 | which you've been able to maintain through I'm going to say multiple segments of your career in medicine. |
| 2:15.8 | And we're going to talk about your new book called Gut Check about reversing diseases and |
