    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. Learn more from Dr. Gundry: ▪️ Website: https://drgundry.com ▪️ Products: https://gundrymd.com ▪️ Telemedicine: https://gundryhealth.com Takeaways We've never been sicker than we are today. The best medical system doesn't equate to better health. The microbiome is crucial for our immune system. Leaky gut is a significant health issue. Antibiotics have harmed our gut health. Glyphosate is an antibiotic that affects bacteria. Mold exposure can lead to serious health problems. Restoring the microbiome takes time and effort. Fermentation can help detoxify harmful plant compounds. Hydrogen gas from the microbiome is vital for health.
