    Why You're Losing Muscle As You Age — And The Secret to Getting It Back | EP 423

    I'll bet you've never heard the word sarcopenia — but I promise you, it's happening to you right now. Starting around age 30, you begin quietly losing muscle mass, and here's the scary part: most of my patients never feel it happening until it's robbed them of the last 20 good years of their life. So today, I want to let you in on something I've learned after seeing patients six days a week for over 25 years: this kind of muscle loss is NOT a normal part of aging. I can prevent it, and so can you — at any age. In this episode, I break down what I call the gut-muscle axis — how a leaky gut, beaten up by lectins, NSAIDs, and antibiotics, shrinks your protein-absorbing surface area from the size of a tennis court down to a ping-pong table. That's why I tell my patients the problem isn't that you need more protein as you get older. It's that you can't absorb the protein you're already eating. I'll also explain why I think of your muscles as the "customers" that insulin has to sell to, why 88% of overweight folks (and 50% of normal-weight folks) are insulin resistant, and why I'm so concerned about GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic — because up to 40% of the weight you lose on them is muscle, the one tissue you cannot afford to give up. Plus, I'll show you how sealing your leaky gut blocks myostatins (the little compounds that keep your muscles from growing), why the real money is in your butt and thighs — not your "guns" — and the two free, do-it-at-home strength moves my old friend Jack LaLanne swore by, which you can knock out while you're brushing your teeth. Here's my take-home message, and I mean it: it is never too late to seal your gut and rebuild the muscle that matters most. What I cover: sarcopenia, muscle loss and aging, leaky gut, gut health, insulin resistance, GLP-1 and Ozempic side effects, protein absorption, the gut-muscle axis, myostatin, strength training after 60, metabolic flexibility, frailty, healthspan, and longevity.

    Can the Bible Diet Help You Lose Weight? A Doctor's Verdict | EP 420

    What if I told you the "healthiest bread on earth" comes from a recipe that was originally supposed to be baked over human feces? It's true, and that recipe is straight out of the Bible. Right now, the internet is obsessed with the so-called Bible diet, also known as the Biblio diet, Promised Land diet, the Daniel diet, or simply biblical eating, but most of what's out there is cherry-picked scripture with zero context. So I decided to do it properly: chapter and verse, calling out what ancient eating habits actually got right, and where scripture needs a serious update. By the end, I'll give you my own Plant Paradox version of the biblical diet, the modern nutrition rules ancient wisdom got right thousands of years before science caught up. For full show notes and transcript: https://drgundry.com/is-the-bible-diet-healthy/ On this episode, you’ll learn:   The one Bible verse that sums up an entire ancient diet in a single line, and why it still holds up today (03:20)Why the "butter" in Genesis wasn't anything like what's in your fridge, and what it means for your gut (04:39)The surprisingly smart trick ancient people used on their beans and lentils that most home cooks skip today (08:30)Why biblical households rarely ate their own cows, goats, or chickens (09:38)Why I disagree with Leviticus on shellfish (10:40)The real reason ancient grains may have existed, and it might not be for the bread you're thinking of (14:38)My three modern fixes to the "Biblio diet," plus the full Gundry-fied version you can start eating this week (16:21)Why fermenting sourdough does NOT do what everyone claims it does for gluten (16:21) Thank you to our sponsors!
