The Dr. Gundry Podcast

Did you know a big week at work can be harder on your body than running a marathon? Or that playing a spirited game of ping pong can affect your ability to "throw down" on the tennis court?Harvard graduate and entrepreneur Will Ahmed says your body can be under immense strain... without you even knowing it!With that in mind, he created a system to uncover the "secrets" your body is trying to tell you.That system is WHOOP, a wearable band Will describes as a "24/7 life coach."WHOOP gathers data on your heart rate, temperature, respiration, sleep patterns, and other metrics — helping you understand how your body works, and what it needs to thrive.Ultimately, this can help you train smarter, sleep better, and even deal with jet lag! And for Dr. Gundry Podcast listeners, you'll receive $30 off - enter code "gundry" for $30 off a new Whoop Strap 2.0 and subscription at join.whoop.com.On today's show, Will and I will discuss how his experience as a college squash player inspired him to create WHOOP. We'll also talk about how WHOOP is helping elite athletes, and Fortune 500 executives "bounce back" from everyday stressors — and how it can help YOU, too. Additionally, Will shares a simple "hack" to avoid feeling rundown, takes on WHOOP's critics, and discusses the "big picture" implications of using data to optimize human performance.

Pizza and beer may make you feel good in the moment — but after an hour there's a good chance you won't be feeling so good anymore. Many of us do this: We eat what "feels good" in the moment without thinking about how we're going to feel later. So many foods don't really satisfy you. Instead they leave you feeling tired and hungrier than before you sat down to eat!Entrepreneur and author Hannah Bronfman says it's time to make a change. In her new book, Do What Feels Good: Recipes, Remedies, and Routines to Treat Your Body Right, Bronfman explains how people can live a lifestyle based on listening to their bodies and eating the foods that make them feel happiest and healthiest — without overindulging.I've been telling my patients for years about the importance of listening to their bodies and connecting what they eat to how they feel. And on today's show, Bronfman and I will discuss the surprising connection between your diet and breakouts you might be getting!Bronfman will also discuss what it means to "do what feels good," discuss her personal struggles with body image and an unhealthy relationship to food, and offer some practical tips about how to start listening to your own body, eat what makes YOU feel good, and have fun. But be warned: Bronfman's positive attitude and approach to eating and wellness are contagious — you may even want to start doing what feels good as soon as you've finished listening!

As many of you already know, Steven Gundry MD has a reputation for maintaining healthy skepticism. If you've been watching the videos on this channel, you may have seen him debunking certain health myths and fads, from the carnivore diet or wheatgrass shots.But just because it's a fad, doesn't mean it's necessarily bad. And, in the case of bone broth, it certainly combines some contradictory (you might even say "paradoxical" elements) for followers of the Plant Paradox. The first hint is in the name... bone broth, after all, is based in animal protein, which should be approached with caution. However, there are some pretty amazing claims (i.e. it helps heal leaky gut, boosts the immune system and even reduces cellulite??).But, could all these claims be true, or have they been overhyped by marketing companies? Let's find out! In this video, Steven Gundry MD evaluates the major health claims associated with this alleged superfood. So whether you've recently considered jumping on the bone broth bandwagon, or even if it's already a staple in your diet, it never hurts to see the bigger picture.

"If I can see it, I can change it"When he began studying psychiatry, Dr. Daniel Amen's dad asked him why he didn't want to become a "real doctor". And that was just the beginning of a career full of profession-related misconceptions, including the stigma-loaded narrative that psychiatry is only for "crazy" people.But instead of accepting the prevailing narrative, Dr. Amen worked to revolutionize the psychiatric field from within. Having been trained as an x-ray technician, Dr. Amen was one of extremely few psychiatric doctors who was actually interested in studying the brain itself. Using controversial brain-imaging SPECT scans has allowed him to catch problems in the brain before they develop into more serious conditions (such as Alzheimer's), and also to identify the physical causes of trauma (i.e. alcohol, physical trauma, nutrition).Dr. Amen has overcome huge social and institutional pressures in his career, to become America's "most famous psychiatrist". He has also published multiple best-selling books (including a #1 New York Times bestseller called Memory Rescue).In this episode of the podcast....Dr. Daniel Amen, talks to Dr. Gundry about why he hates the term "mental illness", why getting less sleep hinders your ability to make good decisions (gulp!), how you can actively change your mood by killing ANTs (automatic negative thoughts), and why he believes that psychiatric problems are actually brain problems.Get in touch with Daniel Amen:Website - YouTube - Linkedin -TwitterI WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU!

For those of us following the Plant Paradox, or any diet for that matter, it can be difficult to toe the line between finding dietary "alternatives", and straight up cheating on the diet. It doesn't help when we see items on the "no" list proudly displayed at the local health food store. Or, when a food item becomes so popular, we can't distinguish whether it's a fad or... actually healthy.For many people (and despite hours of Googling), these questions go unanswered. This is why Dr. Gundry is back with another Q&A episode of the podcast: to help you ditch the fads and keep on track with your health goals!

We can all fall into traps and bad habits when it comes to nutrition, particularly when items are marketed as health foods. And fruit is a huge trap for a lot of people.As dedicated Dr. Gundry listeners already know: our bodies were not designed to eat fruit all year round. However, since we've evolved to salivate at the sight of yummy fruits (as a means to bulk up for winter), it becomes really hard to resist those juicy-looking clementines in the produce aisle.In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Gundry answers your questions and helps you reconcile the gap between what you want to eat, and what you should be eating.
