124: Meet Dr. Gundry’s wife!
Sometimes you meet someone and you just KNOW that person is your perfect soulmate.
Some people call it “love at first sight” — and believe me, I am living proof that it’s TRUE.
On today’s special episode, I’m joined by my wife — Penny Gundry!
You’re going to hear the incredible true story of how Penny and I reunited; how our marriage emerged from adversity stronger than ever — and how yours can, too; and the ONE thing she thinks you need to know about ME.
This is one of the best conversations I’ve EVER had on the show — and I think you’re going to love it, too!
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The EXACT moment Penny and I fell in love (literally at first sight!) (1:15)
- How Bryant Gumbel — yes, famous sportscaster Bryant Gumbel — brought me and Penny back together (7:30)
- How to know when it’s time to call it quits on a relationship — and when it’s time to come back (16:00)
- The dilemma that almost led me back to surgery — and away from Penny (18:00)

Dr G and Mrs G, this episode touches my heart dearly. When my foster child is about to return home after 3 years with us at age 3.5, I told him every night before bed,”you will work hard, be suceesful, one day, let me see you on tv so I know you are well”. You story proved that it really could happen, I will patiently wait for this moment to happen. Thank you for sharing.
great story, u 2 have a great attitude!Still can’t believe so many people discredit plant paradox and basic eating advice you give, despite all your real life experiences which are behind it.When one walks into a Ralphs or Vons and everything has wheat and grains and refined cane sugar…and then one looks at the general public’s waistline and stats on diabetes and heart disease…what is wrong with people who are so so educated but refuse to discredit wheat ..never mind acknowledge the harm of lectins? Its as if people oddly want to remain energetically depressed, health depressed. I think attitude and emotions are part of it…look at the emotional lives of Kitavans as studied by Malinowski! They have a life positive attitude….All the best
