DR. GUNDRY PODCAST: GUT HEALTH, WEIGHT LOSS, AND NUTRITION

Do your joints ache every time you get out of bed?Here's what those cheerful drug commercials won't tell you: the medications treating your rheumatoid, psoriatic, and osteoarthritis are actually transplant drugs designed to suppress your immune system — and they're managing a symptom while ignoring the real cause. In this episode, I explain why arthritis is not a normal part of aging, why your "wear and tear" joints have the same root cause as heart disease, and how 94% of my autoimmune patients get off their medications and become symptom-free within a year.On this episode, you'll learn:Why the happy, dancing people in arthritis drug commercials couldn't be further from the truth (02:17)The real reason your immune system attacks your own joints — and it's not a "mistake" (03:04)How 50% of Dr. Gundry's patients had blood-test-proven rheumatoid arthritis with zero joint pain (04:27)The shocking reason a heart attack can be the very first sign of rheumatoid arthritis (04:44)What Dr. Google gets wrong about voice changes as an arthritis symptom (06:25)The one question Dr. Gundry asks patients that makes their eyebrows shoot up (09:36)Why a stent or bypass gives you a 50% chance of a joint replacement within five years (13:26)The exact blood tests to ask your doctor for — and the one panel most people skip (14:49)How a patient named Jerry canceled his knee replacement and skipped around the exam room (17:48)The truth about how much olive oil you actually need for its benefits (19:22) See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Were you just told you have osteopenia or osteoporosis?Here's what your doctor may not have mentioned: they're the same disease, and the drugs commonly prescribed for it can actually make your bones more fragile, not stronger.In this episode, I break down the real warning signs, expose the suspicious timing between DEXA scan technology and the drug industry that followed it, and share how my own wife reversed her osteoporosis without a single prescription.For full show notes and transcript: https://drgundry.com//osteoporosis-osteopenia-symptomsOn this episode, you’ll learn:  Why osteopenia and osteoporosis are actually the exact same condition (01:12)Which warning signs could mean you have a hidden compression fracture you’re unaware of (02:57)What Google gets wrong about "uncommon" bone loss symptoms (05:12)Why your balance problems might have nothing to do with your bones — and everything to do with your spine (5:45)The reason a sudden change in posture could be a red flag your body is sending you (06:17)What osteoblasts and osteoclasts are actually doing inside your bones every single day (011:00)The disturbing reason dental surgeons refuse to do implants on patients taking popular bone drugs (13:05)How a leaky gut could be the true root cause of your bone loss, not aging (14:48)The surprising story of how my own wife reversed her osteoporosis by changing her diet, not by medication (15:03) See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if everything you've been told about good skin is upside down?My guest today, Camille Hermann, spent 15 years formulating products for L'Oréal, Clarins, and Eucerin — and then walked away from it all.Why?

Every time you pop an antibiotic, you think you're winning the battle, but what if you're quietly losing the war? Sure, antibiotics can be lifesaving. But in our modern times, antibiotics are often prescribed for everything… even when they make no difference at all. Most people never stop to ask: Do I really need this antibiotic? Or better yet: What studies show this will actually help my condition? And ultimately, we never stop to ask what happens after the infection clears. The truth is, that the prescription your doctor handed you may have saved you from one problem while creating a much bigger one you won't see coming for months — or even years.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what antibiotics are really doing to your gut, why the damage goes far deeper than you've been told, and what you can actually do about it if you've ever taken one, or a hundred.On this episode, you’ll learn:  Why you should think twice before filling that next antibiotic prescription (00:06)What Stanford researchers say about getting your gut bacteria back after a course of antibiotics (03:47)What your gut bacteria have to do with your immune system (03:55) Why conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and mystery rashes may actually be your gut waving a red flag (05:15)Exactly what to ask your doctor before you accept a broad-spectrum antibiotic prescription (08:00)The top tips for rebuilding your gut after antibiotics (it isn't as simple as taking a probiotic!) (12:10)All about the shocking amount of antibiotics found in meat (14:53)The real reason your pet may be suffering from itchy skin (17:53) For full show notes and transcript: https://drgundry.com/do-i-need-antibioticsThank you to our sponsors!

NAD is everywhere right now: supplements, injections, podcast topics, longevity clinics. And I'll be honest, when something gets this trendy, I get skeptical. But NAD is different. This is actually something I've been watching closely for nearly 25 years, and the science has finally caught up.Here's what most people don't realize: the exhaustion, the brain fog, the slower recovery you've been chalking up to "just getting older"? That's often your NAD levels in freefall, and it's happening earlier than you think.On this episode, I'm breaking down what NAD actually does inside your cells, why most supplements on the market are quietly failing you, and what I looked for when I finally designed my own formula — Gundry MD Elevate NAD+. I spent years waiting to make one until I could develop an NAD supplement that delivered you real results. On this episode, you’ll learn:  What the "second baseman" is, and why it is the most important player in your cellular health (3:09)All about the French Paradox and its connection to NAD research (4:32)What fasting and strength training have in common that no one talks about (6:15)The dirty secret about most NMN supplements on the market (7:35)3 reasons your NAD gets depleted (and what a well-designed formula like Gundry MD Elevate NAD+ actually does about it) (15:25)The checklist I use to evaluate any NAD supplement (17:41)What age should you actually start thinking about NAD support (12:21)What real NAD support looks like in practice (hear my personal story) (10:57) A special thank you for being part of our podcast family, use code PODCAST25 for 25% off your purchase of my brand-new NAD supplement.

I trained at one of the world's most prestigious medical institutions and spent years following conventional medical wisdom.

We'll explore the gut microbiome revolution, the outdated thinking still shaping healthcare today, and the discoveries that completely changed the way I approach weight loss, heart disease, inflammation, and chronic illness.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Peptides are suddenly everywhere. From anti-aging injections and collagen powders to skincare serums and “miracle” supplements, they’ve become one of the biggest wellness trends on the internet. But here’s the problem: most people have absolutely no idea what peptides actually are — or whether the products they’re using are helping them… or potentially harming them.In this episode, I break down the science behind peptides in a way that actually makes sense. I explain why these tiny compounds play such a major role in how you age, recover, think, and feel — and why your body’s relationship with them changes dramatically over time.I also share an important warning about the growing peptide craze, including what I’ve seen happen firsthand with patients who jumped on the trend too quickly.If you’ve been curious about peptides or wondering whether they’re truly worth the hype, this episode will help you separate real science from clever marketing. On this episode, you’ll learn:  Why peptides have suddenly become the hottest trend in longevity— and whether they actually live up to the hypeThe 4 completely different types of peptides most people confuse (and why that matters for your health)Which peptide category I personally believe is NOT ready for everyday useHow aging quietly changes your body’s natural peptide productionThe dangerous mistake many people are making with trendy online peptide productsWhat happened when several of my own patients experimented with injectable peptidesThe 3 things a well-designed peptide supplement should actually support if you want real resultsWhat peptides are really doing inside your body every single day For the full episode and transcript: https://drgundry.com/what-are-peptides Thank you to our sponsors!
