166: He went lectin-free and it changed EVERYTHING (Plant Paradox vegan)

by Dr. Steven Gundry | Jul 26, 2021 | 0 comments

If you’ve been following the Plant Paradox Program for a while now, there’s a good chance you’ve been spending more and more time in your kitchen – and that’s great!

Because the truth is, it’s nearly impossible to find healthy, lectin-free meals by dining out or ordering from your favorite restaurants.

Even the so-thought “healthy” options – such as salads, soups, or veggie dishes – usually contain hidden dangerous ingredients – like Omega-6 loaded oils or lectin-bomb ingredients.

And while you might occasionally come across a truly lectin-free option, cooking at home is your BEST tool for finding success on my program.

And my guest knows just what I’m talking about.

On this episode, I speak with The Sensitive Vegan. After struggling with some pretty serious health issues, he was able to completely turn his health around by following my Plant Paradox Program.

He now has his very own lectin-free cooking channel on YouTube, where he shares his creative recipes in a step-by-step, easy to follow manner.

The Sensitive Vegan and I share his impressive journey to health, tips for vegans on the Plant Paradox, and professional cooking advice to help YOU cook your way to better health.
