Dr. Gundry and Dr. Junger are here to tell you what your gut is trying to tell you about your health. They believe that a healthy gut is the key to good health and longevity, they also believe that disease begins in the gut. Get ready for this amazing interview where we dive into leaky gut and the importance of good gut health.
Dr. Gundry welcomes back his long-time friend and cardiologist turned gut health expert, Dr. Alejandro Junger. It’s true: most Americans have gut dysfunction without even knowing it. But the gut isn’t just about digestion—it’s the control center for your immunity, mood, and energy.
Dr. Alejandro Junger is the Founder of the Clean Program, he’s also a New York Times best-selling author of books like “CLEAN 7: Supercharge the Body’s Natural Ability to Heal Itself” and a pioneer in uncovering the root causes of complex health issues—many of which lead back to one vital system: the gut.
His innovative approach, blending ancient wisdom with modern science, has helped thousands of people restore their health through detoxification, gut repair, and nutrient replenishment.
In this episode, we explore how all disease begins in the gut, how to “pay rent” on your health before it’s too late, and the small, everyday habits that can set you up for a lifetime of wellness.
Plus, we discuss the fascinating gut-brain connection, healing with food, and the game-changing science of time-restricted eating.
