Some foods I used to recommend… I don’t anymore.

Why? Because after decades of testing my patients — and digging into the latest research — I’ve uncovered surprising truths about foods you probably eat every day.

In this episode of the Dr. Gundry Podcast, I’m sharing the foods I’ve completely changed my mind about (and what I eat instead). This is exclusive content you’ll only hear in the audio version of the podcast — so make sure to listen until the end.

I’ll also spill the truth about nut butters — which ones are true health heroes, and which ones are hiding gut-damaging ingredients you need to avoid.

And if you love coffee as much as I do, you’ll want to hear my simple tips to make your morning cup a brain-boosting, longevity-supporting powerhouse.
