0:00.0	Hey everybody, welcome to Health Theory. Today's episode is round two with the extraordinary
0:04.9	Dr. Stephen Gundry. He's a New York Times best-selling author of the Plant Paradox, and most recently,
0:10.1	the longevity paradox. He's also an award-winning, renowned heart surgeon and researcher,
0:15.6	as well as the former president of the American Heart Association. But the crazy part of his story
0:20.7	is that he left the profession he built his entire career around at the height of his success.
0:25.2	When he realized he was just dealing with symptoms and not addressing the underlying causes
0:29.7	of those symptoms, and that's where I want to start today. Your book kicks right off with the
0:35.0	myths of aging. I want to believe that we can sort of age and reverse, that we can get stronger,
0:40.8	better looking, more robust as we age, but that is not conventional wisdom. But you debunk it
0:46.8	right off the bat. Yeah, hit us with it. We want to be a Benjamin Button, so you know,
0:51.2	you don't want to actually de-age. And I really think it's possible. In fact, when people look at
0:58.3	my pictures really at the height of my surgical career in the mid-90s, and then compare those pictures
1:07.4	to me now, there's actually no doubt that I'm actually a younger man than I was almost 30 years
1:17.0	ago. Better skin. Like, what are we judging that by? Better skin. Better texture. My skin. One of the
1:24.0	things I talk about in the book extensively is your skin is actually a mirror of the lining of
1:33.6	your gut. The lining of your gut, which is the surface of a tennis court, is actually your skin
1:40.6	turned inside out. What is it that makes you think that the gut is so influential in aging
1:46.0	specifically? Because people think of like, I'm going to get arthritis. It's wear and tear.
1:50.0	It's just what it is. I've used my joints so much that they're going to be tapped out. It actually
1:55.5	does make intuitive sense. And so what you talk about in the book is really sort of kicks people
2:02.9	into a new way of thinking about it. So why is the gut so tied to what we think of as actual aging?
2:08.2	So here's the deal. There's a wonderful animal model for aging that involves a little worm
