How do I submit a question to Dr Gundry for his podcast??
Thank you!
Dear Dr Gundry,
I’ve asked this question a few times through your other websites and video comments and haven’t seen any response, and I think it is an important one, so here goes again: I’m very interested in your opinion of the use of insect sourced protein, especially cricket protein powder, as a sustainable and healthy protein source.
It seems to me that it would be very synergistic with the lectin avoidance diet since it contains an abundance of one of the primary ingredients in your Lectin Shield and Total Restore supplement formulas, N-acetyl glucosamine. “Chitin is a long polymer of N- acetyl glucosamine and is considered to be … These insects have been found to have high protein contents ranging from 43.75% …” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213453017301015
Previously I also suggested that your team come up with one of your great recipes using one of the cricket protein powders which are increasingly available both on the web and at more health food stores.
I think it’d be great if your team could put together a recipe for a kind of energy ball or bite using cricket protein powder along with some healthy fat, like coconut butter or avocado, and flavored of course with high polyphenol organic non-dutched cocoa powder. You could throw in optional healthful ingredients like Dr G’s Heart Defense supplement, maca powder or other adaptogens, hemp seeds, cinnamon, espresso, etc.
By the way, I’m already adding cricket protein powder for extra nutrition to the “Dr. Gundry’s favorite chocolate drink” you introduced us to in your YouTube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEIxqsxpUBw It makes a great tasting protein boosted drink!
Whaddaya say, Dr G?

Hello Dr. and I’m a newbie,
I’m finishing up on a Hep C regiment, 90 days of Mavret 100/40 once a day and clear of Hep C. Recently I was diagnosed as a on the cusp diabetic and high cholesterol. As a test run for 3 months I’m taking 5mg of Rosuvastatin, 1Tb and 500mg Metformin ER 1x/daily for the diabetes and high cholesterol. Plus I’m taking your Total Restore as directed. It’s been a week that I’ve taken Total Restore. Honestly, I’m don’t like pills but I’m really trying to take better care of myself late in life. Better late than never.
I’m 72 yrs young, with high blood pressure since the age of 50, maintained by Olmesarttan Medox/hctz 40/25mg 1x/day and, in good shape. Most people think that I’m 45 yrs old but arthritis reminds me just how old I feel.
I weigh 172 lbs and H 5’8″. Exercise by walking a mile per/day and ride my bike 2 miles 3x week. Changed my eating habits, no starches, high in vegetable and fruit consumption, especially mango, which my stomach tolerates, no dairy, and use goats milk for recipes.
My question: Am I on the right track for better health and healing? Or should I reconsider taking prescribed meds for diabetes and high cholesterol?
Hi Dr Gundry,
Will lectins be completely removed from legumes and seeds after they have been either (1) Fermented and made into yogurt form; or (2) sprouted?
For example, is yogurt made from cashew milk (aka “Cashewgurt”) lectin-free? Are sprouted pumpkin seeds lectin-free?
Dr. Gundry.
I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Is it true that cruciferous vegetables interfere with thyroid function?
I am 69 year old female who had aortic valve replacement in 2012. Because of that, I need to take antibiotics before my routine dental appointments. How can I replenish my gut sufficiently every 6 months? It worries me so much, I am considering having my teeth pulled and getting dentures so that I will not have to take the antibiotics. The consequences of not taking them could be deadly. I have read it can take years to replenish your gut after antibiotics. I would appreciate any advice. We have read both books and follow the Dr Guidry diet.
Does pressure cooking brown rice or black rice (forbidden rice) neutralize the lectins?
