| Is Sourdough Bread The Healthiest Bread? | EP 431 | 05 Nov 2026 | 00:14:40 | |
Ten years ago, I told Dr. Oz on his daytime show that sourdough was the best of a bad choice, and somehow that turned into “Dr. Gundry says eat sourdough.” Today, I’m setting the record straight. In episode 431, I’ll explain why the very thing that makes sourdough special may not do what you’ve been led to believe, and why the problem may go deeper than the flour itself. I’ll share a surprising story about patients who seemed to be doing great until something changed. I’ll also pull back the curtain on what’s really going on inside U.S.-made bread, and why even the artisan bakery down the street may not be the safe haven you think it is. If you love bread (like I do!) but care about your gut health and longevity more, this one’s for you. I’ll also leave you with some swaps for when you really gotta have a loaf, plus a quick answer to a listener’s question about vitamin D3. In this episode, you’ll learn:

| Blood Pressure Isn’t a Salt Problem: What I Got Wrong for Years | EP 430 | 03 Nov 2026 | 00:30:10 | |
What if the pill your doctor handed you is silencing the smoke alarm while the real fire keeps burning? Today on the podcast, I’m sharing what I got wrong about high blood pressure for most of my career, and why the real root cause may not be in your heart, your blood vessels, or your salt shaker at all. I’ll walk you through the molecule that tells your blood vessels to relax, the bacteria that help you make it, and the foods that can start turning things around this week. I’ll also tell you about one nightly habit almost all of you share, and why it may be working against you. A few highlights from today’s episode:

| The Poop Questions You’re Too Polite to Ask | EP 429 | 29 Oct 2026 | 00:30:47 | |
Poop. Did you know that what lands in your toilet every day is the most honest report card your body will ever hand you? In episode 429, I’ll answer all the poop, constipation, and gut health questions you’ve always wanted to ask, and we’re going to do it rapid-fire because you sent in so many. Here’s what most people never realize: a large proportion of your poop is living and dead bacteria, not the food you ate. That means its size, shape, color, and smell are telling you how well you’re feeding your gut buddies. Give them what they want to eat, and you’ll see a giant coiled snake looking back up at you. Don’t, and you get little hard pellets, or worse. I’ll explain how often you should really be going, when blood in your stool means it’s time to see a doctor, and why floating, greasy, or clay-colored stools deserve your attention. We’ll also get into coffee, undigested food, fecal transplants, and whether there’s a right way to sit on the toilet. Because the road to health is paved with good intestines. Some of the questions I’ll answer in this episode:

| 7 Spices Almost No One Knows—But Should: Polyphenol Powerhouses for Your Brain & Gut| EP 428 | 27 Oct 2026 | 00:17:46 | |
Ready to spice up your life? I’ve got seven spices almost nobody in this country has heard of—even though they’ve been used in kitchens and medicine cabinets around the world for thousands of years. From Grains of Paradise (my daily swap for black pepper) to black seed, sumac, and a smoky cardamom that protects your liver, the research is finally catching up to why these ancient ingredients work. As Hippocrates said, let food be thy medicine — and now we know why. In this episode, you’ll learn:

| MASH & Fatty Liver: The Diagnosis Your Doctor Is Probably Missing | EP 427 | 22 Oct 2026 | 00:27:00 | |
What IS fatty liver? Why nearly every patient I test has some degree of fatty liver, and how to reverse it — because this may be the most common condition almost nobody knows they have. On this episode, you’ll learn:
Caught in time, fatty liver is one of the most reversible problems I see — but first you have to know it’s there. Support our sponsors who made this episode possible:

| Creatine & The "Magical" Brain Effect (and how to buy the RIGHT creatine) | EP 426 | 19 Oct 2026 | 00:15:04 | |
Creatine has more to do with your brain than your biceps. It helps your cells recycle ATP, the energy your brain burns through faster than almost any tissue you've got. So it isn't really about building bigger muscles at all. It's about energy, focus, and staying sharp at any age. In my latest episode, I break down what creatine actually is, how much to take, and the 3 things I check on every label before I buy, because this is one of the most contamination-prone supplements out there. On this episode, you'll learn:
Done right, creatine is one of the most proven things you can take to support your muscles and your brain. Show notes/Transcript: https://drgundry.com/creatine-brain-health P.S. Creatine fuels your muscles, but it doesn't build them. That distinction is exactly why I formulated my own, MyoPeptide Complex, with the full 5-gram clinical dose plus a few things creatine alone can't do. Take a look here.

| Asthma: How to Fix It | Ep 425 | 16 Oct 2026 | 00:24:31 | |
Asthma. What if the wheezing, the tight chest, the inhaler you reach for every spring isn’t really a lung problem at all? In this episode, I’ll explain why asthma has skyrocketed since the 1960s and what you can do to fix it. Questions I’ll answer:
Topics covered: asthma and the immune system, leaky gut and inflammation, the hygiene hypothesis, endotoxins as “nature’s allergy shots,” antibiotics in early life, the microbiome and immune “education,” gut buddies, Akkermansia and the mucus layer, lectins and the gut wall, molecular mimicry, dogs, dirt, and microbial diversity, and restoring your inner terrain.

| Why Ibuprofen is a “Hand Grenade” for Your Gut | EP 424 | 13 Oct 2026 | 00:28:55 | |
In this episode, I break down the real reasons we feel pain in the first place, why the most popular over-the-counter painkillers are quietly making your pain worse the longer you take them, and the smarter, natural tools I reach for with my own patients. From ice versus heat, to Epsom salt baths, to the surprising gut connection behind migraines, I’ll show you how to work with your body’s signals instead of blasting through them. Because when you understand that pain is information, you stop asking “how do I make this stop?” and start asking the far more important question: “why is my body telling me this?” On this episode, you’ll learn:

| Your Mouthwash Is Hurting Your Heart (Here’s the Fix) | EP 423.A | 08 Oct 2026 | 00:15:40 | |
What if a 30-second morning habit could lower your blood pressure — no pill, no diet overhaul? In this episode, I'll reveal an ancient trick modern science just confirmed, and why the “minty fresh” mouthwash in your cabinet may be quietly driving your blood pressure up. Highlights:
Topics covered: nitric oxide and blood pressure, the oral microbiome, eNOS and aging, why mouthwash raises blood pressure, dietary nitrates, tongue scraping benefits, leaky gut, leaky mouth, gingivitis and heart health, oral bacteria and heart valves, flossing and C-reactive protein (HS-CRP), inflammation, gut buddies, lectins and gluten, leaky gut and hair loss in women, and natural blood pressure support.

| Why You're Losing Muscle As You Age — And The Secret to Getting It Back | EP 423 | 06 Oct 2026 | 00:24:21 | |
I'll bet you've never heard the word sarcopenia — but I promise you, it's happening to you right now. Starting around age 30, you begin quietly losing muscle mass, and here's the scary part: most of my patients never feel it happening until it's robbed them of the last 20 good years of their life. So today, I want to let you in on something I've learned after seeing patients six days a week for over 25 years: this kind of muscle loss is NOT a normal part of aging. I can prevent it, and so can you — at any age. In this episode, I break down what I call the gut-muscle axis — how a leaky gut, beaten up by lectins, NSAIDs, and antibiotics, shrinks your protein-absorbing surface area from the size of a tennis court down to a ping-pong table. That's why I tell my patients the problem isn't that you need more protein as you get older. It's that you can't absorb the protein you're already eating. I'll also explain why I think of your muscles as the "customers" that insulin has to sell to, why 88% of overweight folks (and 50% of normal-weight folks) are insulin resistant, and why I'm so concerned about GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic — because up to 40% of the weight you lose on them is muscle, the one tissue you cannot afford to give up. Plus, I'll show you how sealing your leaky gut blocks myostatins (the little compounds that keep your muscles from growing), why the real money is in your butt and thighs — not your "guns" — and the two free, do-it-at-home strength moves my old friend Jack LaLanne swore by, which you can knock out while you're brushing your teeth. Here's my take-home message, and I mean it: it is never too late to seal your gut and rebuild the muscle that matters most. What I cover: sarcopenia, muscle loss and aging, leaky gut, gut health, insulin resistance, GLP-1 and Ozempic side effects, protein absorption, the gut-muscle axis, myostatin, strength training after 60, metabolic flexibility, frailty, healthspan, and longevity.

| Are You Eating TOO MUCH Protein? New Longevity Research Explained | EP 422.A | 01 Oct 2026 | 00:17:33 | |
Are we focusing on the wrong thing when it comes to protein and healthy aging? In this episode, I break down fascinating new research from my friend Dr. Valter Longo that could change the way you think about protein, muscle, and longevity. The key may not be how many grams of protein you eat, but how much of one specific amino acid, methionine, you're getting. I explain what the study found, why too much or too little methionine may matter, and how mTOR, IGF-1, GLP-1, and gut health fit into the picture. I’ll also share why I don't believe getting older automatically means you need to pile more animal protein onto your plate, and the protein sources I prefer for supporting strength while keeping longevity in mind. If you're over 50 or 60, eating a high-protein diet, or simply want to stay strong as you age, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

| Gundry MD Discounts: The Smartest Way to Save on Your Supplements | EP 421.A | 24 Sep 2026 | 00:14:05 | |
I explain why high-quality formulas can cost more than what you’d find on a drugstore shelf, and walk you through specific ways to lower what you pay—including a subscription option that can save you up to 60% on certain products, plus a free My Account option that gives you more control over your orders and access to member-only pricing. I also share a real example from my own patients about what can happen when you stop taking a formula that’s working—and why staying consistent can matter just as much as finding the right product in the first place. Whether you’re new to Gundry MD or you’ve been taking a formula for years, I’ll give you a simple checklist to help make sure you’re getting the best deal available.

| Why I Quit Running After 20 Years, And What I Do Instead: Guest Mark Sisson | EP 421 | 22 Sep 2026 | 00:50:51 | |
Most people think more cardio is better for you. Run more, burn more, live longer, right? Well, my guest today says that's backward. He's suffered from aching knees, a busted hip, and a he has a brand-new book to prove it. Mark Sisson is a New York Times bestselling author and the co-founder of the barefoot shoe company Peluva. He was one of the very first people I read when I left heart surgery to become a nutritionist, and today he's back with his latest book, Born to Walk: The Broken Promises of the Running Boom and How to Slow Down and Get Healthy One Step at a Time. We get into why walking may beat running for long-term health, the surprising way running can actually work against your weight loss, and why Mark and his son built Peluva. This episode is going to change how you think about every single step you take. For full show notes and transcript: https://drgundry.com/mark-sisson-born-to-walk On this episode, you’ll learn:

| The SHOCKING TRUTH About The Carnivore Diet You NEED TO KNOW!| EP 420.A | 17 Sep 2026 | 00:21:07 | |
Let's be clear: Dr. Gundry has NOTHING against the carnivore diet as an elimination diet. In fact, some of his patients practice it, and it does support their gut health because it removes all lectin-containing compounds in your diet. But there’s much more information you need to know if you plan on practicing this diet. That’s why in this episode he will be discussing the shocking truth about the carnivore diet you need to know.

| Can the Bible Diet Help You Lose Weight? A Doctor's Verdict | EP 420 | 15 Sep 2026 | 00:18:43 | |
What if I told you the "healthiest bread on earth" comes from a recipe that was originally supposed to be baked over human feces? It's true, and that recipe is straight out of the Bible. Right now, the internet is obsessed with the so-called Bible diet, also known as the Biblio diet, Promised Land diet, the Daniel diet, or simply biblical eating, but most of what's out there is cherry-picked scripture with zero context. So I decided to do it properly: chapter and verse, calling out what ancient eating habits actually got right, and where scripture needs a serious update. By the end, I'll give you my own Plant Paradox version of the biblical diet, the modern nutrition rules ancient wisdom got right thousands of years before science caught up.

| The 5-Minute Morning Routine That Can Change Your Life with Jim Kwik | EP 419 | 08 Sep 2026 | 00:58:31 | |
I've spent 25 years telling patients the same thing: I can show you the path, but you have to walk it. Nobody proves that better than my guest today. Jim Kwik was labeled "the boy with the broken brain" as a kid — migraines, learning disabilities, couldn't keep up in school. Today he's the guy Navy SEALs, Olympic athletes, and Fortune 500 CEOs call when they need to think sharper and perform better. His new book, Limitless Daily: 366 Keys to Train Your Brain, Master Your Mind & Win Every Day, distills decades of that work into five minutes a day. We get into what actually happens in your brain in those first waking minutes, why willpower isn't the reason you're stuck, and whether leaning on AI is quietly costing you your own ability to think.

| How to Turn On the "Age Backwards" Switch | EP 418.A | 03 Sep 2026 | 00:14:29 | |
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.

| The Retirement Decision That Could Be Shrinking Your Brain | EP 418 | 01 Sep 2026 | 00:52:25 | |
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.

| The 4-Step Sugar Detox That Even a Diet Coke Addict Can Follow | EP 417.A | 27 Aug 2026 | 00:17:30 | |
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.

| 5 Bad Breath Fixes Your Dentist Never Told You About | EP 417 | 25 Aug 2026 | 00:20:30 | |
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. It's rarely just a hygiene issue.

| The Alzheimer's Drugs Don't Work — Here's What Does (featuring Dr. David Perlmutter) | EP 416 | 18 Aug 2026 | 01:12:19 | |
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.

| Are You Drinking TOO Much Water? The Hidden Danger of Overhydration | EP 415.A | 13 Aug 2026 | 00:15:24 | |
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.

| Using AI for Medical Advice? Here's the Best (and Worst) Way to Do It | EP 414 | 04 Aug 2026 | 00:52:39 | |
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.

| The Arthritis Lie: Why "Wear and Tear" Isn't Wearing Out Your Joints | EP 412a | 23 Jul 2026 | 00:21:22 | |
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:

Were you just told you have osteopenia or osteoporosis?

| The Skin-Gut Connection: What a French Cosmetics Insider Wants You to Know | EP 411 | 14 Jul 2026 | 00:48:57 | |
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? Because she realized the industry she helped build was treating symptoms while ignoring the real cause. Camille is now a skin biologist who calls the skin "the dashboard of your biology" — a window into your gut, your hormones, and even your brain. In this episode, we break down what your acne, eczema, and thinning hair are actually trying to tell you, why the French seem to eat everything and stay lean anyway, and why I've been putting olive oil in my mouth and on my face for years.

| Antibiotics, Leaky Gut, and the Microbiome Crisis Nobody's Talking About | EP 408 | 23 Jun 2026 | 00:21:45 | |
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:

| I Waited 25 Years to Make This Supplement. Here's Why. | EP 407.A | 18 Jun 2026 | 00:21:15 | |
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:

| The Truth About GLP-1 Nobody in Pharma Wants You to Know | EP 407 | 16 Jun 2026 | 00:17:01 | |
You can't scroll through your feed for five seconds without seeing someone talking about Ozempic, Wegovy, or the newest GLP-1 drug. But here's what nobody is telling you: your body was already designed to make its own version of this appetite-suppressing hormone. However, most of us have stopped feeding the good bacteria responsible for producing it. In this episode, I'm breaking down the gut-centric theory of hunger, a fascinating concept that completely changed the way I think about appetite, cravings, and weight management. Plus, I'll share what happened when I personally experimented with a specific category of food for my upcoming book and experienced something I can only describe as... injecting GLP-1. Without the injection. On this episode, you’ll learn:
