    NBS #98: The Alarming State of Health in America with Dr. Steven Gundry

    Send us a text Dr. Steven Gundry joins Michael Rubino to reveal why America has never been sicker—and how three major changes from the 1970s triggered a wave of chronic illness we’re still battling today. From microbiome damage and leaky gut to mold exposure, glyphosate, and indoor air quality, this episode breaks down what’s really driving today’s health epidemic.

Glyphosate is an antibiotic that affects bacteria. Mold exposure can lead to serious health problems. Restoring the microbiome takes time and effort.
