“Prioritize Your Gut Health for a Longer Life. Did you know that 70–80% of your immune cells are located in the gut? This means your gut health plays a crucial role in overall immunity,” Brockie wrote.
Dr. Gundry emphasizes that maintaining a healthy gut microbiome can help manage chronic illnesses and improve conditions like:
- Leaky Gut
- Autoimmune Diseases
- Heart Disease
Here are his top 6 strategies to fix your gut:
Berberine
Berberine is one of the most popular supplements out there for: Weight management, Carb metabolism and Gut Health. Dr. Gundry recommends it for many reasons to stay healthy, particularly as we age.
Avoid Lectins
Lectins are proteins found in many plants that act like tiny daggers in your stomach. These can create microscopic tears in your stomach lining, leading to leaky gut. They can also increase the growth of harmful bacteria in your stomach. Avoid high-lectin foods such as:
- Legumes: kidney beans, black beans
- Nightshades: Tomatoes, potatoes
- Soy: Tofu, soy sauce
- Processed foods with added sugars and unhealthy fats
These foods cause inflammation and digestive issues, Brockie wrote.
Instead, Dr. Gundry recommends yogurt.” Fermented foods have probiotics that are great for your gut. These foods offer benefits for digestion and overall well-being. Yogurt is arguably the best way to incorporate probiotics into your diet,” he said.
Intermittent Fasting
Dr. Gundry discusses intermittent fasting extensively, emphasizing its potential benefits. It improves your fat burning, cell energy and lifespan and health span.
Focus on Food Quality: Many modern diets are dominated by processed foods and added sugar, which lack essential nutrients. These low-quality foods can harm your gut, make you sick and cause obesity. Dr. Gundry emphasizes focusing on nutrient-dense options during your eating window, such as:
- Vegetables
- Avocado
- Meat
Minimizing processed foods and sugars ensures your body gets essential nutrients for effective fasting, he wrote.
Boost Your Immune System with Nutrition: Dr. Gundry shows how the right nutrients can boost your immune system. Simple dietary changes can strengthen your body’s defenses. These changes help you stay healthy and resilient against common illnesses. He recommends a four-day gut-soothing meal plan using foods such as:
- Turmeric root
- Onions
- Garlic
- Black pepper
- Cabbage
He also explains that cabbage activates gut receptors that calm the immune system, helping your body relax and recover, he wrote.
Healthy Fats for Longevity
Dr. Gundry advocates for healthy fats to boost weight loss and wellness. Olive oil is a nutrient-rich choice that keeps you full longer while offering numerous health benefits. Avocados are rich in healthy fats and fiber, keeping you full longer.
“Dr. Gundry reveals how gut health, immune-boosting nutrition, and supplements can lead to a longer, healthier life. Repairing your gut can lead to a happier life. I’ve found gut health to be one of the most important factors in overall wellness, Brockie said.
