Welcome to the Dr. Gundry Podcast. The weekly podcast where Dr. G gives you the tools you need to boost your health and live your healthiest life.

Welcome to the Dr. Gundry Podcast. What loves to munch on your mucus while protecting you from those pesty plant lectins and tight you're about to find out.

Now if you take probiotics you're probably familiar with common strains like lactobacillus but unless you've read my books like the longevity paradox that tout their incredible properties you may not have heard about this incredible lifespan boosting bacteria.

First identified in 2004 acrimoncy amucinophilia which literally translates to mucus loving is a species of bacteria that helps to maintain our gut lining.

And until now it's never been available as a supplement. Enter pendulum life the first company to offer acrimoncy in a pill form.

I'm so excited to have scientists Colleen Cutliffe on as CEO and co founder of pendulum to tell us all about it. We're going to talk about this bacteria's benefit and why acrimoncy is so unique.

So hold tight. We've got an exciting deep dive into the latest in microbiome discoveries that will help you and your loved ones live to a ripe old healthy age. We'll be right back. Stay tuned.

Giving up inflammatory foods you love or are used to eating like eating corn and corn based products can be tough when you're starting the plant paradox protocol.

And that's why I always recommend finding a good substitute. Today I want to address popcorn. Sure it's associated with good times like carnivals theme parks and movies but rest assured popcorn is not a good time for your gut buddies.

Over time any corn based product including popcorn will break down your gut wall barrier which leads to leaky gut.

However, there's a great alternative to it popped sorghum by nature needs. Sorghum is one of my go to yes grains on the plant paradox program because it doesn't have those toxic lectins like corn does.

Sorghum pops a little smaller than corn kernels but knowing it's not going to wreck your digestion system makes up for its size.

Nature Nates pop sorghum comes in delicious flavors too. My wife and I just can't get enough of the Himalayan sea salt flavor but the rosemary garlic or avocado oil and salt is great too.

I've got big news to share with you. My new book Unlocking the Keto Code will drop March 2022 and I can't wait for all of you to read it.

I know you're probably thinking why is Gundry talking up his new book when it doesn't come out for six months?

Well because it relates to our generous podcast sponsor LMNT you see they make an incredible electrolyte drink which is necessary for all you Keto Terrians and if you try to keto diet you may have experienced the dreaded keto flu.

The symptoms of keto flu often stem from low electrolytes especially low sodium.

There are two reasons why low carburs tend to be low on sodium. One whole food keto diets are naturally low in sodium.

Two you excrete more sodium in a carb restricted state. You have fewer electrolytes going in and more going out. It's a formula for electrolyte deficiencies and keto flu.

The good news is that replenishing electrolytes can remedy keto flu symptoms fairly quickly.
