Episode Description

In his book “Plant Paradox” Dr Steven Gundry discusses some of the dangers with eating plant foods. In a way of protection, some plants produce toxins called lectins that can be harmful to human health. With a mission to dramatically improve human health, happiness, and longevity through his unique vision of diet and nutrition, he is sharing this information in this interview.

Dr. Risk’s Thoughts

At first I thought this interview would be just about another diet. When I realized that “Plant Paradox” is about more than that, I got very interested. Having Celiac Disease, I wondered if lectins were affecting me. I followed the “Plant Paradox” food list and I cut them out for a week and lost 6lbs of inflammation! My diet was already very strict, so all I had to do was cut out certain vegetables, so it was an amazing reaction! I am hoping to buy a pressure cooker so I don’t have to keep a strict diet, and see great value to the information in Dr. Gundry’s book. I love the “Plant Paradox” recipes, and have tried several!
