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.

Today I'm going to share with you a new snack you should be eating daily. It has the highest amount of plant protein of any nut and it has incredible benefits for longevity.

Plus I reveal the spices and herbs that have the greatest impact on improving your health and how to sneak them into your daily diet.

And even if you're already eating this powerhouse Indian spice you probably are missing the mandatory ingredient you must pair with it to reap the benefits.

Stay tuned because I also let you in on a little secret when it comes to fruit. And I am cover the ones I actually eat. You don't want to miss this one.

The shocking benefits of eating walnuts every day for 30 days. Now if you're looking for a new snack to indulge in look no further than walnuts.

Their versatile, delicious and incredibly nutritious. First of all walnuts have the highest plant protein content of all the nut choices.

And if you're looking to get plant protein in your diet, look no further than walnuts.

Walnuts contain phenomenal substances that I write about in my books called polyamines. What in the world are polyamines?

Well polyamines have been shown to actually improve your overall health, your overall health span and your overall longevity in multiple studies.

Polyamines, if you read my most recent two books, the energy paradox and unlocking the keto code, are some of those substances that are critical for uncoupling your mitochondria.

And if you've been paying attention, uncoupling your mitochondria results in your mitochondria, those little work courses of energy production, working better and not damaging themselves.

So polyamines are the way to go. Let me give you an example. One study show that eating pistachios, walnuts and almonds, please skin them, please.

Increases your level of buterate producing bacteria with walnuts and pistachios beating almonds in a landslide.

Now why in the world would you want to produce buterate producing bacteria? Well again if you've read my books you know that buterate is a short chain fatty acid.

And buterate in particular does two remarkable things. The cells that line our colon, our large intestine, actually get about 90% of their entire energy supply, food from buterate.

They are dependent on buterate for their livelihood. Secondly we now know that buterate is absorbed through our gut and acts very much as a substrate for producing ketones.

But buterate also has phenomenal anti-cancer properties and buterate is one of the preferred substances for your brain to use. All of this sounds like a really good thing.

The problem is most of us don't eat the foods that feed the buterate producing bacteria what they need to produce buterate.

And it just so happens that walnuts and pistachios are two of the best ways to give your gut buddies the things they need to produce buterate.

So let me give you another example. Mice that were fed walnuts had less than half as many tumors in their colons than mice that were not fed nuts.

Again, since the wall of your gut requires buterate to be healthy, it stands to reason that the more buterate those cells get, the more normal they are and the less buterate they get, the more likely they are to turn into mist of the cells.
