The Gut Brain Paradox: How Your Microbiome Controls Your Mind with Dr. Steven Gundry

"I can seal your leaky gut. It'll take a while, but I can seal it. But if you keep swallowing razor blades, you're gonna tear it right open." - Dr. Steven Gundry What if I told you that your brain isn't actually in charge of your thoughts and cravings? My longtime neighbor and friend, Dr. Steven Gundry, just blew my mind again with revelations that completely change how we think about hunger, decision-making, and brain health. We're walking around, believing we're making conscious choices about food, but the truth is that our gut bacteria are pulling the strings, like puppet masters. This conversation unveiled the shocking connection between our deteriorating gut health and the rise in neurological conditions we're seeing in women over 40. From the patient with Parkinson's who got her life back to why you feel amazing eating pasta in Italy but feel inflamed after a "healthy" meal at home, Dr. Gundry reveals the hidden razors we're swallowing daily that are literally shredding our gut lining and creating brain inflammation.
