The Dr. Gundry Podcast

I’ve heard the argument for years about the amino acids and protein coming from animal or plant sources. I also have never liked the comparison to humans versus animals because gorillas, horses etc have different genetics than we do. We are also not about to eat as much as an animal like that to get enough amino acids to build that amount of muscle. It far easier to get your complete amino acid needs from meat and throw in a variety of fruits and vegetables for all your other nutrient needs. As a body builder I know it’s way easier to grow muscle eating animal protein. I have done a vegan diet before trying to build muscle and it is possible but way way more difficult. I had to eat way more food because the plant foods don’t have complete amino acid profiles. And the ones that do have poor ratios of amino acids. I’ve very rarely seen a big vegan body builder. All the ones I’ve come across are smaller but still in great shape. Or they have to supplement with amino acid supplements if they don’t want to spend all day every day eating enough plants to get the nutrient needs they require. Anyways, I know you don’t favor meat so you favor studies that support a plant based diet lol. Even with that being said, I still think you’re amazing even if I don’t agree with everything. You at least try to provide evidence with research. Again, no man will ever be on a gorilla level eating plants alone lol. The closest humans we have to gorillas are the worlds strongest men who eat tons of meat but even then, they are nothing to a gorilla lol.

Podcast is generally amazing. Great information education for people that don’t understand health and nutrition. Very surprised that you okayed some products from Costco that are packaged in plastic. Why?

Great health tips very helpful , I am familiar with medical terms little bit I grasp pretty much everything he says. He is a heart surgeon he knows lot about hearts he cont go wrong.

Doctor Gundry, thank you for everything you do! I have a question. Does the time controlled eating create the gallstones? When you don't eat for prolonged periods, especially if you skip meals regularly or engage in extended fasting, bile can accumulate in your gallbladder. Here's why: Bile release: Your gallbladder releases bile primarily when you eat, especially when you consume fatty foods, to help with digestion. Bile storage: Between meals, bile is stored and concentrated in your gallbladder. Accumulation: When you skip meals or fast for a prolonged period, your gallbladder doesn't receive the signal to release bile as often. Increased cholesterol: This infrequent release can lead to a buildup of bile in the gallbladder, which in turn can increase the concentration of cholesterol within the bile. Gallstone formation: Over time, this accumulated cholesterol and bile salts can harden into gallstones. Reduced gallbladder function: Fasting can also potentially cause the gallbladder to not contract or "move" as much, contributing to this buildup and gallstone formation. In summary: Not eating for prolonged periods can lead to bile accumulation in the gallbladder, increasing the risk of gallstone formation. Eating regular meals helps promote the normal release of bile and can help keep your gallbladder healthy.
