A single course of antibiotics can reduce the 10,000 species of bacteria living in your gut down to just one or two survivors — and Stanford researchers say that for some people, that gut diversity may never fully come back.

Without that diversity your gut loses one of its most critical defense systems. The bacteria that once protected your gut wall from harmful plant compounds like lectins are gone, and without them lectins get a free shot at the lining of your gut causing leaky gut, immune dysfunction, inflammation, and a cascade of health problems most doctors never connect back to antibiotics.
In the full episode Dr. Gundry breaks down exactly how antibiotics are decimating gut health across entire generations, why your skin problems, autoimmune issues, and food sensitivities may all trace back to antibiotic exposure, how conventionally raised meat is secretly dosing you with broad spectrum antibiotics without your knowledge, and the exact protocol he uses with his own patients to rebuild gut microbiome diversity from the ground up. If you have ever taken an antibiotic in your life this episode will change the way you think about your health.
