[@DrGundry]

Thanks for watching! What did *you* think of this week's episode? Let me know in the comments below - Dr G

[@Emma_333]

Love your videos. Please say something more about collagen!

[@paulbryce8908]

I'm trying what you are saying to do .but I dont know what fruit and vegetables to eat

[@monicagoldstein5413]

Excellent! Thank you so much! I love listening to you because I learn so much! I heard that if you fry foods with olive oil that it’s not healthy. Is this true?

[@wfcangel1wfcangel832]

Thankful for your podcasts

I'm just about positive my body is reacting to lectins in my diet. I am 100% sure that I have leaky gut syndrome. I suffer from kidney stones and have high oxalate levels. But when I go on a kidney stone free diet I eat food that contain a lot of lectins. When i eat junk food that aren't loaded with lectins i dont have high oxalate levels in my urine. For instance while on my diet I would eat alot of whole grain stuff like whole wheat bread, potatoes, tomatoes, corn in different forms my daily oxalate levels would go up to 51mg a day. Max is 45mg oxalate daily. But when I eat junk food that does not contain such high levels like whole wheat bread, corn, potatoes etc. We know that a leaky gut will allow oxalate to enter the bloodstream because of the junctions in the intestine walls are loose/ open. But when I "dont" eat whole grain foods along with other high lectin levels my oxalate levels were consistently below the maximum limit of 45mg daily. Basically when I ate high lectin foods my oxalate levels were high at 51mg daily. But when I ate a diet lower in lectins my oxalate was consistently lower at an average of 25mg daily. I could never figure out why when I eat " foods with less oxalate " but eat " healthy foods " I develop stones and feel like crap. I now know that the factor is lectin. Because all of those foods I ate to reduce kidney stones and considered healthy are loaded with lectins. I have not started my lectin free diet yet but I am about to start it tomorrow. My gut health has always been in horrible health.

My BaBa ( grandma ) ate bone broth soup daily. A poor Ukrainian. She lived a vibrant long life. She lived until 103 years old.

[@RashaudMonroe]

[@airplanegeorge]

I bake sweet potatoes whole without aluminum foil, put them in the fridge, then eat them cold right out of the skin. load them up with nutmeg, cinnamon, and or ginger. I used to eat them hot with butter but I think they have more flavor cold.

[@trees3d]

I eat a can of oysters a day packed in extra virgin olive oil … I get iron, calcium, and it has helped lower my BP … The PP diet has helped me a lot … especially the elimination of night shades

[@Lia-hd7rh]

ooof good on you, idk how you get that down

[@hdd1977m7]

Ancient Arabic tribes did not separate their grains that was introduced later. They used whole semolina or hard wheat grains and whole malt grains. From my observations and reading I noticed that the earliest signs and stories of inflammation happened around the Umaiad and Abbasid Khalif rules when they started separating the whole grains and refining them. It got a whole a lot worse after colonialism that introduced newer strains of wheat and the disappearance of the local varieties.

[@pinksooshy]

I wish you would add a list of time stamps about the topics you cover so we can go directly to the things we want to know more about.

[@V13-m2z]

You're so kind to do these videos! Thank you Dr. Gundry~ 🌻 You're awesome!

[@keyshi6257]

Handsome, genius, short great human being. God Bless you for educating our community.

[@ronmimi3282]

my grandam died at the age of 100 without any illness or whatsoever. she basically lived eating coconut and rice products because those are the major agricultural products in their province. so did my grandma had a wrong diet? by the way....she also loves to eat for lunch and dinnee sauteed mungbeans and fried fish every friday, eat vegies with string beans and bean pods almost every other day, eat carrabao or water bufallo beef almost weekly, snack on rice cake desserts cooked in sugar and coconut milk? boiled peanuts, cassava boiled in sugar, boiled or fried sweet potatoes, boiled or fried bananas.

[@CherryBerryFashion]

Perhaps thats because it wasn’t chemically altered, non gmo since it was all in her province. Which sounds amazing

[@nayantara5157]

Dr. Gundry: Can we have the success stories of your patients in short little summary (what they did, how long, and what they are free from now) in a website categorized by common diseases like, arthritis, thyroid disorder, etc., That will give others a source of inspiration and get better. Thank you for your good work.

[@brawlking2230]

Thank you for talking about the importance of Vitamin D !!!!

[@littlevoice_11]

Does pressure cooking destroy the antioxidants, vitamins and reduce mineral content of foods? Doesn't heating foods increase AGEs and acrylamide?

[@expofcam]

you should show us what you eat in a day!

[@charliemackey-lowe1889]

Backed sweet potatoes- I never heard this before but actually did it yesterday. I steamed my potatoes, put them in the fridge while I was at work and then reheated for dinner!

[@benv5798]

White rice can be stored for 10 years while brown rice can be stored for 1 year. That is the primary reason white rice won over brown.

[@sonyamoyler9237]

I really appreciate all your great information and education. Thank you Dr. I also love the way you dress, I love your variety of ties and eye glasses, you always look very nice and well groomed!

[@larryputra3692]

Lol

[@yvesjeaurond8898]

Thank you for a great show. In the summary below the video, a time index for the three or four main topics would be helpful. Would it be of interest to comment on the water disaster in Flint michigan, and how diet can help (or not) with lead poisoning?

[@chocolatcats]

Dr. Berg & Dr. Gundry...the best...if anyone I know is listening to this, remember, HE HAS CUT OPEN BODIES for a living for many years...he's a leading heart surgeon!....he knows his stuff!

[@airplanegeorge]

I would like to see Drs Berg and Gundry debate on wheat grass juice powder.

[@Derbnage]

Dr Berg is a chiropractor, not a real MD.

[@cindymccauley3454]

Most MD doctors are not interested in knowing this kind of info. Doctor in Latin means teacher. Dr Berg is brilliant in knowing how the body works also. I feel that it is valuable to listen to different perspectives. Being predudiced to others making contributions because of the little letters after their name limits acquiring knowledge that could help.

[@alejandroescarcega9288]

Derbnage and dr Gundry is a heart surgeon not a nutritionist !

[@pamelajohnson1852]

Regarding taking large quantities of vitamin D: I have watched several of your videos where you suggest taking large quantities of vitamin D, and I have not heard you say to take its co-factors K2, magnesium and A. According to Dr. Kate Rheaume-Bleue's book "Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox", if your body is low in K2 (like those who have eliminated dairy) and you take large amounts of D, the lack of K2 can allow calcium to go into tissues like the heart and veins, instead of teeth and bones, causing calcification, which in some cases can lead to a heart attack. As a Cardiologist, I thought I would hear you mention this. Can you speak to this, please?

[@geirwiwansivertsen7981]

I live in Thailand, where we have fresh fruits all year. So guess people here naturally can eat fruits in winter time!?

[@onopuni7864]

I'm allergic 2 deodorant, what I have found that works perfectly is a tablespoon full of baking soda w/a couple drops of water, rub it into a paste & smear it under your arms, Blessings lita

[@williamstenson2483]

You have to look for aluminium free baking soda/ sodium bicarbonate

[@rebeccayoung9533]

Dear Dr Gundry - You are the best, listening from London. Can you give any advice for someone who suffers from migraines (me), but ‘mostly’ follows the plant paradox plan. Thank you for everything you do.

[@florprado7055]

Thank you for all you are teaching us to be healthier!

[@phelanisserelaford5426]

I'm not sure, but I can only tell you from my experience I have used every brand of coconut. Coconut oil, I don't believe causes any type of allergy symptoms I believe it is how it is being manufactured what it may be coming in contact with or what maybe added into it. If you're going to have a reaction to coconut oil I would think. My reaction what occur no matter what coconut oil I used so that led me to believe that it is the brand. I wrote These Brands down that works fine for me and I have had no more problems

[@sarahclare7746]

Terry Mr I'm glad to see your comment. You took the words out of my mouth.

[@CreativeDee]

Dr. Grundy, I was lead to believe that Vitamin D3 must be taken with K2. What are your thoughts on that ? Does your way of eating increase Kidney Function for those people with Kidney Disease ? Have you done a study on that or have Patients that have proven it has in fact increased their Kidney Function. I am a Stage 3, I am near my goal weight and have Diabetes Type 2 under control due to Low Carb High Fat and Keto.

[@Rucuz]

Earlier humans did eat fruit year round but for how far back it goes is uncertain. Natives on the praries of North America made pemmican with meat and berries and ate it year round. The Hunza in Pakistan ate dried apricots year round. Drying food is one of the oldest food preservation technologies, it happens by itself in nature. How much was eaten is up for debate, it also may have created a lot of cavities.

[@VALLIEAVERY]

I started Lectin Sheild about 3 weeks ago. I have noticed less gas and less trips to the bathroom. I've also noticed that my stools are not as soft. I used to go to the restroom a few times a day and almost always ended up with VERY loose stools. Now they are consistent and less "messy".

[@yourcaptain1]

I have a simple question with juicing: Doe the skins and bulk material not carry all the toxins and sprays and chemicals that do not make it into the fruits and vegetables being juiced? And what is your take on distilled water and cleaning out the body? Thank you for the amazing education you are giving through this podcast.

[@pontevedra660]

Doc you are nothing but FANTASTIC .....you have saved my life I sincerely thank you from my heart.....Honnêtement docteur tu es magnifique !!, merci, ana maria

Please talk about OXALATES IN GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES ♥️

Please keeps these going. Great info

[@niacinberry5]

We Lived on Beans n Pork !! Cod once a week..lumberjack poor families...but we lived to 105 yo Most of us then.. Lumber barons fed us not so good pork ..but it was at least Fatty Pork n little meat ..it was boiled and then kept cold to slice for our lunches ..with black boiled loose tea. And biscuits ..but many many Buckwheat Ploys/ pancakes .n black strap molasses .

[@TrutherThinkTank]

But I wonder though about Dr. D’Adamo’s (Eat Right for your Type author) work that shows how certain lectins can effect some blood types and not others.

[@peggyhall5363]

Interesting. Corn okay to eat(GMO)? Eating is complicated. Coconut oil helps fight parasites, yet as stated help things get through gut wall. Mixed information from Drs., researchers, et al. When to eat, how to eat, what really is safe & healthy to eat? We are bogging down bc we are uncertain of just about everything. One thing off topic, but I am experimenting with is wearing a zapper, copper, magnets, using botanicals herbs, turmeric et al diy tea mix, grounding( barefeet on concrete; on grass or soil, a person can get parasites from infected ground.) Cast iron, why coated? A pretty informed man says cast iron alone. Is there not just a coming together of the knowledge? Why such conflict? Thank you, I do try most of what you suggest. You are appreciated so much more than mere words can express.💕🎈🌹

[@nemaro100]

I think he said quorn. The word is new to me.

[@alansaxon]

Since being plant based for three years probably explains why I feel so wretched and in pain... I've ordered Plant Paradox.

[@KatherynInc.]

I used to drink freshly squeezed carrot, beat, lemon, celery juice daily and it helped for a while but I became nauseated and I am wondering if I overdosed on lectins and needed a break from it.

[@ritalawson7020]

Roxann Huffman leave the deadly nightshade family alone that means tomatoes eggplant peppers potatoes, and leave silerbeet alone too much oxalates.

Also - I would like to know about all the people who live in year round hot climates - therefore having fruit available year round? Thanks so much.

Dave Asprey recommends bulletproof coffee grassfed butter and grain octain oil. I drink 1 cup in the morning. Works great for me

[@drksdofthmoon]

Man, Dr. Gundry is gonna disrupt all these big peanut companies! Lol

[@korbandallas8931]

I buy chickpea pasta now....double the protein than regular gluten pasta, still high in carbs which is fine for me, but is that a better alternative or am I wasting my time? I have zero issues with gluten, just tryin to eat as healthy as possible, as I am now eliminated grass fed beef and going all shellfish and lots of olive oil!

[@TanyaDarling1]

What broth do you use when you make soup? Love you and your brain! Thanks!

[@cristinav5043]

i love all the q& a s dr Steven!

[@cherielacroix7006]

Thank You Dr Gundry for sharing your knowledge.. Question... what is your opinion on collagen? AND what is your opinion on putting butter in your coffee?

[@cherylford3596]

Has Dr. Gundry talked about using CBD oil or hemp? Would love to hear his opinion on this.

[@charissecarvill8986]

Hemp seeds are on the list

[@1aliveandwell]

Interesting, so what do you eat !!?? Are there other foods that the lectins might 'stick' to? Potatoes have been cultivated for over 1000yrs. Almonds are extremely high in oxalic acid sweet potatoes are high also).

[@lateeerv9868]

Dr. Gundry, do Moringa, Chlorella, and Spirulina powders contain bad lectins? Thanks!

[@giseledesjardins8239]

So interesting, the growth regression. My daughter growing up had this growth, gaining weight then losing it. I did not realize looking back how we ate this way naturally. We used to call it the Christmas Tree growth. She would plump out, grow up and thin out. Out up in, out up in. Maybe that was a natural process, as she was the only one that did that it seemed.

[@suzannerodriguez1869]

Why are canned beans bad for us? Don’t the factories pressure cook them before they can them?

[@SJ-gj7mx]

Is Millet or Buckwheat ok? What about Hazelnuts, walnuts, Macademia nuts and Pistachios?

[@dacanale]

My granny had a coconut allergy, except on Easter when it was on a fresh coconut cake😋

[@janetsacher7637]

Very easy way to peel potatoes - just boil water and put them in for a little - then the skins will slip off - kind of like people do when getting skins off of tomatoes.

[@GEMINICT]

How safe are chickpeas if they are soaked for 24 hours changing the water every few hours and then pressure cook them?

[@neverthat8654]

I just bought both THE PP and THE PP COOKBOOK and my questions are, What about places that don't have winter? Places that are tropical all year long? How do we go about fruits that grow here all year long since the past melleniums? How do we go about the Plant Paradox Diet since our climates and weather are almost worlds apart? Also, do our DNA and Location have an effect on the ability to break foods different from others? And does it mean advantages and disadvantages on some foods? PLEASE & THANK YOU!

[@gregc9946]

I have lived in many tropical locations and they all still have seasons :) There is a dry season and a monsoon season, so it may be more about wet and dry than temp. There were still seasons for avocado, mango, etc. But he is against eating a lot of fruit anyway except avocados or green fruits like mango, banana and papaya because of the sugars.

[@augustobrignardello9999]

Potatos has being eaten by South America natives (Inkas and lots of other cultures) long time ago .....

[@michaelwade4922]

Dr Gundry is not an African, I am so here are some corrections. The fig in Africa fruits all year round, and is a staple for many different monkeys and baboons. We eat their fruit too. Africa has plenty of slow stupid mammals, the noisiest is the porcupine, which is the size of a medium sized dog. Easily trapped and eaten. Bees are everywhere, plenty of honey. The big one is omega threes, plenty about on our shoreline, Google Standloopers. And in Africa sheep not beef where herded. Lastly name me one African gold medalists althete, who doesn't consume animal protein?

[@JonathanDavidLife]

Hey doc, there's a Dr. In Florida Dr. Morse who is healing people with fruit. Can you expand on how this is possible if what you say about fruit is so bad?

[@denisenurse1960]

Does vitamin K2 pull calcium off a stabilized plaque in an artery causing a heart attack? You’re the best! Thank you

[@mwet77]

Dr Gundry, I have a question for you. First of all, I enjoy the Vital Reds every day. The one thing I notice most, in addition to more energy, is that I sleep much more restful. Question: I would like to try Energy Renew. Would this take the place of Vital Reds. Can one substitute for the other. Which is best? Or could I use both? Thank you!

[@commiesareevil3823]

Bone broth is a good source of collagen and it has lots of minerals in it but you need to get at least two all five types of collagen which is in Ancient Grains products and hydrolyzed collagen is digested better you need collagen for your face your muscles tendons bones and ligaments

[@alejandroescarcega9288]

I am starting to have the impression that you do not like meat ! Dr ken Berry and you should have a talk !

[@Rocketscientist66]

Yeah me too 😠 How can he say we don‘t need animal protein?? Sorry but everyone who knows anything, knows that animal protein and it’s amino acids are much more bioavailable & absorbed by humans. And animal fats are also very healthy. Of course these products should come from pasture-raised, grass-finished animals 🤓

[@kostiskouros1429]

Dr. Gundry please write a book on cure method for coronary artery disease. Which blood markers you use, which supplements you use, apo e4 and real cases of disease reversal. It will be your legacy!!!

He's right about the size of fruit. I'm old enough to remember

[@daurenasrymbetov2382]

Thanks for your excellent work. I just listened few of your videos and subscribed.

[@AngieStonesPhD]

We spend so much time deciphering what is and is not good for us. I thin we should go back and listen to our bodies or even better, old people in the family or even those we meet on the street. I bet, they won't have any idea what we are talking about today...good...not good...etc.

[@bford3977]

THIS is what I'm preaching. Listen to your bodies! Maybe use some of these plans as a GUIDE, but that's it.

[@nicorompos1768]

Angie Stones Ph.D. The reason why people spend so much time with these topics is that most of them clearly listen to their bodies to begin with. Because all these folks are sick and battle with disease, they obviously try to figure out what to eat and what not.

[@stevebryan2710]

Dr Grundry, you say that we should consume lots of olive oil. I read that 70 % of olive oils are either fake or are diluted with cheaper much worse oils like canola. Can you suggest source of or a pure olive oil brand. I would very much like to comply with your suggestion of consuming lots of this great oil.

[@karunbhandari3430]

Hello Dr. Gundry, You are doing an amazing job. My question is - can pregnant women (or those who are planning towards that) follow the same lectin free diet plan?

Can you please, pretty please let me know what I can replace the things I have allergies to, Mushrooms, Cinnamon and sweet potatoes. I noticed these are some of the major things in all recipes but not sure what to replace them with?? Christmas my favorite holidays because I love the lights is terrible for me I can not shop or go to any stores at that time the smell cinnamon hits me and chokes me so bad.

[@opinionsarelike3865]

After reading your promising book “the plant paradox” and just having started on the diet this morning I was just wondering how it is that brown rice is loaded with lectins yet rice bran oil is okay?

[@johnnyblack946]

Dr we want to now what do you eat ?

[@barriemoore1687]

It’s about what he “Doesn’t “ eat !!

[@tuanuufereti6125]

So how do we replace the nutrition we would have gotten from eating fruit if fruit is not a health food???

[@SI-ln6tc]

Maybe they should make genetic modify vegetables without lectins??

[@MrBryancslim]

So, white rice is good for you now? Brown rice is bad because of lectins?

[@0effort]

should i peel sweet potatoes & carrots before cooking them? i usually leave the peel (and eat it) as i assume most vitamins are there.

[@Chryslers1]

One of his videos says to leave the peel on. I just found out about this Dr Gundry & I feel like I'm going to be starving myself lol

[@theGee64]

Vitamins are destroyed by the heat when cooked

[@alexanderalza5685]

This sh..t got so complicated! It is impossible to maintain this kind of diet living in Russia I can say. At least if you are not a billionaire and have your own farm! But my question is this. What is the best way to cook stuff? Rice,buckwheat,oats,legumes ... I should soak everything first and then pressure cook them or steam cook? What about vegetables? It's better to eat them raw,cooked o fermented? I prepare my own sauerkraut and fermented beets, but what about tomatoes,chili,sweat pepper etc.? HEEEEELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TC-fk9gl]

What about foods and cellulite? Anything I can do to make it better. I am 7 1/2 tall 143 lbs woman 62 years no smoking.

[@lindamurray5503]

I went through breast cancer and chemo both in 2010, then endometrial cancer in 2017, more chemotherapy, but no radiation this time. I ate alot of legumes, whole grain bread and rice, could the lectin cause the types of cancer I have been through.

[@carlgregory2806]

to prevent cancer its important to maintain a low sugar and alkaline environment as this prevents acidity and cancer cells cannot thrive. Rice, bread etc are high processed carbs and not favourable given the conditions you stated

[@emmettmurphy1]

What about the plastics in canned food?
