A world-renowned cardiothoracic surgeon, gut-health pioneer, and bestselling author of The Plant Paradox, Dr. Gundry has spent over 20 years uncovering why so many people are still sick, tired, and struggling — and, more importantly, how to reverse it. He has helped hundreds of thousands of patients and followers lose stubborn weight, overcome autoimmune disease, eliminate chronic inflammation, and reclaim energy they thought was gone forever.

What sets this health podcast apart? Dr. Gundry still sees patients six days a week, analyzing real bloodwork to track exactly how nutrition and targeted supplements reduce inflammation, heal leaky gut, and stop disease in its tracks. Every episode is rooted in his latest clinical findings — not outdated guidelines.

Four times a week, joined by leading MDs and top researchers, he delivers the science-backed answers most people spend years searching for — on gut health, weight loss, longevity, autoimmune disease, and upgrading your diet for lasting results.

Your body was designed to heal. Dr. Gundry will show you how.

The Dr. Gundry Podcast

Traveling back in time is impossible. Giving your cells a fresh start is not. In this episode, I dig into stem cells: what wakes them up, why the wall of your gut matters so much, and the two very different ways cells die. One causes inflammation. The other, called autophagy, lets your body rebuild itself from the inside out. I break down how time-restricted eating, polyphenols, and mitochondrial uncoupling work together to build a genuinely new you every three months. Plus, a great question on probiotic toothpaste, and why gut dysbiosis keeps showing up in my migraine patients.

How to Turn On the "Age Backwards" Switch | EP 418.A

Everyone's chasing the wellness hack that'll finally crack the code on living longer: cold plunges, biological age tests, or extreme fasts.

But my guest today just wrote an entire book making the opposite argument: most of that noise doesn't matter nearly as much as we think, and the real answer to a long, healthy life is a lot simpler than the wellness industry wants you to believe.

Dr. Ezekiel "Zeke" Emanuel is a Harvard-trained oncologist, Vice Provost for Global Initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania, and a former special advisor on health policy to the Obama administration. His new book, Eat Your Ice Cream: Six Simple Rules for a Long and Healthy Life, lays out six evidence-based rules for a longer, better life.

This one will change how you think about "doing wellness right."

 • Why perfectionism should NOT be your goal when it comes ot healthy habits (3:37)

right • ice cream might actually lower your risk of type 2 diabetes (24:48)

The Retirement Decision That Could Be Shrinking Your Brain | EP 418

Sugar isn't just a habit; it's one of the most addictive substances in our diet, and most of us don't even realize how much we're consuming. In this episode, I'm breaking down my simple, four-step method for kicking a sugar addiction for good, without feeling deprived.

I'll show you exactly where sugar hides on food labels (hint: it's not where you think), teach you the quick math trick that reveals the real sugar content in any packaged food, and explain why "healthier" sugars like honey, agave, and coconut sugar are still sugar. I'm also breaking down why some fruits are secretly loaded with fructose, which ones are safer bets, and why fruit today isn't the same fruit your grandparents ate.

I'll get personal too, sharing my own history with Diet Coke addiction and why artificial sweeteners can trick your brain into craving more sugar, not less. Plus, my go-to sugar substitutes, the dark chocolate brand I actually trust, and the "healthy Coke" recipe I first shared years ago that still holds up today.

If you've ever felt like sugar has a grip on you, this episode gives you a real, sustainable path out — one small step at a time.

Bad breath could be the earliest warning sign of something happening deep inside your body, and most people are trying to fix it with exactly the wrong tools.

5 Best BRAIN Foods for a Better Memory, Sharper Focus | EP 316.A

Big Pharma bet billions on one theory: clear the amyloid, cure Alzheimer's.

A new Cochrane review of 20,000+ patients just proved them wrong — these drugs don't work, and they may be putting your brain at risk. So what's really driving this epidemic?

My guest today, six-time New York Times bestselling author and board-certified neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter, says the answer lies in a set of cells most people have never even heard of — and he lays it all out in his new book, Brain Defenders.

The good news is, you already have more control over them than any drug could ever give you.

We're talking about microglia, the brain's immune cells, and why the choices you make today may matter more than anything a prescription pad can offer.

For full show notes and transcript: https://drgundry.com/david-perlmutter-alzheimers

On this episode, you’ll learn: 

All about the new study that found leading Alzheimer's drugs deliver almost no benefit (02:09) • Why the so-called enemy in your brain is not what we thought at all (07:34)
What microglia are, and why these overlooked immune cells may be the real gatekeepers of your brain's health (05:15) • How everyday metabolic issues like blood sugar and insulin resistance can affect your brain (09:30)
 • Why one in nine Americans over 65 is already living with dementia (and most don’t know it) (14:08)
 • The surprising connection between Parkinson's, depression, and even autism spectrum conditions (15:11)
How THIS lifestyle program helped 70% of Alzheimer's patients stabilize or even improve their cognitive function — no drugs required (17:09)The one mindset shift Dr. Perlmutter says has to happen before any diet or exercise plan will actually work for your brain (22:17) • Why getting quality sleep does more for your brain than you think (27:49)
 • The simple blood test you should request NOW to gauge your Alzheimer's risk (33:25)
 • Why women make up two-thirds of Alzheimer's patients (35:29)
The critical window for starting hormone replacement therapy (40:08) • The truth about antibacterial mouthwash, and why it might be quietly working against your brain health (58:14)
 • A 25-year-old flossing study that predicted exactly what today's top neurology journals are just now confirming (01:00:05)
 • Dr. Perlmutter's honest answer to whether you should take the newer Alzheimer's drugs your doctor may be recommending (01:05:31)

The Alzheimer's Drugs Don't Work — Here's What Does (featuring Dr. David Perlmutter) | EP 416

Water is essential for life—but could drinking more of it actually be working against you?

In this episode, I’m tackling one of the biggest hydration myths out there: that everyone needs eight glasses of water a day. I’ll explain why your individual water needs may be very different, how drinking too much water can throw off your electrolyte balance, and why overhydration may even affect how efficiently your heart works.

Plus, I’ll share the signs you may be overdoing it, what really counts toward your daily hydration, and a smarter way to think about water and electrolytes. Before you refill that giant water bottle again, you’ll want to hear this!

Are You Drinking TOO Much Water? The Hidden Danger of Overhydration | EP 415.A

I once had a patient tell me, "You don't know much about vitamin D, do you?" 

He had a point, not because I hadn't studied it, but because so much of what we're taught about vitamin D simply hasn't caught up to the research.

My patient’s question led me down a path of research that changed how I treat every patient who walks through my door.

In this episode, I break down

 • Why vitamin D isn't a vitamin at all but a hormone quietly running the show for your gut and immune system
 • Why the "toxic" dose you've been warned about is a myth that's kept millions of people needlessly deficient
 • Why this one hormone might be the closest thing we have to a longevity switch.

Plus, learn the exact number I push my own patients' levels to, and why your doctor's idea of "normal" is probably way too low.

For full show notes and transcript: drgundry.com/how-much-vitamin-d-should-i-take

On this episode, you’ll learn: 

 • Why vitamin D isn't actually a vitamin (01:11)
How nearly 80% of new patients turn out to be vitamin D deficient (you probably are too!) (01:31) • What vitamin D has to do with the diversity of your gut microbiome (02:18)
 • What a major university research group discovered about vitamin D at doses most people assume would be dangerous (09:04)
 • A real patient story from this week, and the dose it took to finally get his vitamin D levels where they needed to be (11:33)
The sweet spot dose of vitamin D that works for most people — and who might need to dial it back (12:46) • Why doing THIS to your peppers might be the trick to enjoying them without the reaction (16:32)

The #1 Fish I Recommend for Better Brain & Heart Health | EP 414.A

Have you asked ChatGPT or Claude a health question before? 

AI is already changing how patients research symptoms, read labs, and make health decisions — and that could be one of the most empowering shifts in medicine, or a potential disaster. My guest today knows exactly where that line is.

Dr. Vivienne Ming is a theoretical neuroscientist who's spent 30years building AI to expand human potential, founding more than a dozen companies along the way. She has built one of the first AI systems ever designed to help manage a disease, and she shares it all in her new book, Robot-Proof: When Machines Have All the Answers, Build Better People.

On this episode, we get into where AI genuinely helps your health, where it quietly diminishes your own power of intellect and reason, and why the smartest "mind" in any room isn't a genius or a supercomputer. 

On this episode, you’ll learn: 

 • Why doctors and AI make "complementary" errors—and how combining them beats either one alone 
(01:31)How outsourcing your thinking to AI over a lifetime could raise your risk of THESE health issues (06:54) • A fascinating experiment that reveals how you can build richer, denser brain connections through
 this • 
(10:03) • Why your brain does a nightly cleanup during sleep 
(13:25) • The "nemesis prompt" trick for using AI to challenge you instead of letting it do the thinking for you 
(15:24) • What the "Jiffy Lube colonoscopy" problem is, and which doctors suffer from it the most 
(18:13) • The hidden bias problem in medical AI—and why it may perform worse for underrepresented populations 
(27:42)The real reason AI hallucinations can never be fully eliminated, and what that means for how much you should trust it (30:00)A simple technique for using AI to build real understanding of any health condition (40:15) • Practical guardrails for deciding how much to trust an AI answer before you bring it to your doctor 
(45:02)
