by Dr. Steven Gundry | Apr 1, 2025 | 0 comments

If you’ve ever been told to give up pasta, load up on veggies, and eat yogurt for a healthier gut—you’re not alone.

But as I often say, popular advice isn’t always good advice.

In this episode of the podcast, I break down what’s really going on with these so-called “health” foods. You’ll learn which pasta alternatives can actually support your health, which vegetables might be working against you, and which yogurts are truly gut-friendly (plus the ones that are worse than ice cream).

On this episode you’ll learn:

A surprising pasta alternative rich in magnesium and potassium—nutrients that support both heart and gut health (2:35)
The fiber-rich pasta that delivers 25% of your daily fiber in just one serving (and it happens to be one of my personal favorites!) (4:19)
