Your Gut Controls Your Mood, Cravings, and Even Personality w/ Dr. Gundry

Is Your Gut Controlling Your Mind? What if I told you that your thoughts, cravings, and even your personality might not be coming from your brain—but from your gut? Today, I sit down with Dr. Steven Gundry, a world-renowned cardiothoracic surgeon and best-selling author, to uncover the shocking truth about the gut-brain connection and how the bacteria in your gut could be running the show.

For years, we've been told that mental health is all about brain chemistry. But Dr. Gundry reveals that your gut microbiome directly influences your mood, cognition, and even addictions. Whether it's sugar, alcohol, or even opioids, the bacteria in your gut can literally create cravings, fuel addiction, and manipulate your behavior. And if that doesn’t wake you up, he also shares how healing your gut can help reverse depression, anxiety, and even improve your personality.

We also break down the hidden dangers in your diet, from glyphosate (a common herbicide) to ultra-processed foods that are destroying your gut lining and wreaking havoc on your health. Plus, Dr. Gundry gives practical steps to rebuild your microbiome, including the power of fermented foods, the dangers of certain antibiotics, and the key nutrients your gut NEEDS to thrive.

This episode is a game-changer—whether you’re looking to improve your mental clarity, kick an addiction, or just take your health to the next level. Listen up, take notes, and start paying attention to your gut—because it might be the real driver of your life.
