0:00.0	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.
0:12.0	I've got a trivia question for you.
0:15.0	What has the most beneficial nutrients of any grain and was named the new quinoa by Vogue Magazine?
0:26.0	Are you ready?
0:27.0	If you guessed sorghum, you're right.
0:31.0	If you're like sorghum, what? Well, you're not alone.
0:36.0	It's not quite trending yet, but I'm out to change that.
0:41.0	After you discover all the benefits it offers, sorghum versus other grains, I think you'll join me on my sorghum crusade too.
0:53.0	Okay, so why do I love sorghum so much? Well, number one, this is probably my favorite reason I love sorghum.
1:02.0	Out of all the different types of grains in the world, sorghum is one of the only ones that doesn't contain lectins,

2:05.0	Now, sorghum also has a unique nutritional content. Sorghum is rich with polyphenols, especially the flavonoids.
2:16.0	Flavonoids are beloved by our gut microbiome. In fact, polyphenols in general are loved by the gut microbiome.
2:26.0	They're a prebiotic fiber in and of themselves for the gut microbiome.
2:33.0	And as you learned in unlocking the keto code, my new bestseller, these polyphenols are one of the most important ways that your overall health can be improved.
2:46.0	Sorghum is also high in bioactive lipids, like polycosynols and phytosterols.
2:53.0	If you're going to have a grain, get those benefits in a grain rather than taking it as a supplement.
