Dr. Steven Gundry trained as a cardiothoracic surgeon at one of the most elite medical institutions in the world. He followed the science. He trusted the system. And then — driven by his relentless commitment to his patients — he started questioning everything. In this episode, Dr. Gundry gets brutally honest about the moment he realised that some of the most widely accepted principles in modern medicine were not just incomplete — they were wrong. What he shares in this episode is not what the medical establishment wants you to hear. But after 30 years of working with patients and watching the same broken advice fail them over and over again, he’s done staying quiet.
From the cholesterol myth to the calories in calories out model, to the gut microbiome revolution that is rewriting everything we thought we knew about weight, inflammation, heart disease, and chronic illness — Dr. Gundry pulls back the curtain on a medical system that has been asking the wrong questions for decades. And the reason most doctors are still behind? It may have more to do with who is funding their education than you’d like to think.
