What if the key to a leaner body, a clearer mind, and total food freedom isn't willpower… but your gut bacteria? In this powerful episode of The Optimal Protein Podcast , I'm joined by world-renowned physician, author, and gut health pioneer Dr. Steven Gundry to dive into the bold insights from his new book, The Gut-Brain Paradox . Dr. Gundry reveals how an imbalanced microbiome doesn't just affect digestion — it can hijack your cravings, dull your focus, and even impact your mood, behavior, and metabolism. But here's the good news: these changes are reversible. And it starts with a targeted reset. We explore how gut health connects to everything from depression and addiction to Alzheimer's and disordered eating — and how a protein-optimized, keto-friendly lifestyle can help restore your gut-brain axis for long-term health, vitality, and leanness.
