What if washing your vegetables was actually working against your health? In this fascinating clip from The Dr. Gundry Podcast live at the Oxnard Farmer’s Market, heart surgeon Dr. Steven Gundry explains exactly why he buys organic carrots — and eats them straight from the bag without washing them. The soil-based bacteria clinging to that carrot? That’s not dirt. That’s medicine. New science shows that eating certain bacteria actually trains your immune system to be less reactive and more balanced — and your gut microbiome is the direct beneficiary. But there’s another reason Dr. Gundry insists you eat them raw: the moment you cook a carrot, you release all of its sugar content. Raw carrots are slow to digest, meaning your microbiome gets to feast on that sugar before it ever hits your bloodstream. It’s one of the simplest, cheapest, and most powerful gut health habits you can start today.
