119: His job destroyed his health… until he did THIS
Giving up your favorite food is HARD!
So just imagine what it’s like to try quitting your favorite foods — while still cooking them in your restaurant every day.
Well, that’s exactly what happened to my guest today, star chef Seamus Mullen.
Over 10 years ago, Seamus was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis that made it almost impossible to work without medication. But after dramatically changing his diet and lifestyle, Seamus is now almost completely free of RA.
On today’s episode of The Dr. Gundry Podcast, Seamus and I will talk about his incredible health transformation, the tricks he learned to get healthy and stay healthy, and the best way to ask for a substitution at your favorite restaurant.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How you can actually “catch” an autoimmune disease (7:30)
- What LeBron James can teach YOU about nutrition (9:15)
- Why feeling uncomfortable after eating is NOT normal (10:45)
- How medicinal side effects can sometimes be WORSE than the disease (17:00)
- Why the first step to getting better… is simply giving yourself THIS advice (21:10)
- My number one rule for deciding what food to eat (26:30)

Doctor Gundry, I would love to know your opinion about the Covid vaccine and RA. I do not have RA but my mother had it most of her life. I’m concerned about taking the vaccine and whether it might cause RA to become activated within my body. Since you’re an autoimmune specialist, I thought you might have an opinion. Thanks so much!!!
