Welcome to Dr. Gundry’s Insights
Dr. Gundry is back with answers to some of the most common questions from viewers. In this video, we focus on various health topics, from the benefits of decaf coffee to the worthiness of bone broth. Stay tuned for some practical advice that can help you make better nutritional choices.
Raw vs Cooked Leafy Greens
Some individuals wonder if cooked leafy greens are more beneficial than raw ones. Dr. Gundry explains that while cooked greens might be easier on those with irritable bowel, leaky gut, or autoimmune issues, raw greens can be excellent for those looking to incorporate olive oil and vinegar into their diets. Consider blending cooked greens with olive oil for a nutritious soup.
The Truth About Bone Broth
Bone broth is often touted for its gut health benefits, but Dr. Gundry warns against it due to the potential for arsenic and lead contamination. Instead of broth, opt for vitamin C and lysine to support collagen production.
Decaf Coffee: A Healthy Choice?
Dr. Gundry reassures that decaf coffee offers the same polyphenol benefits as regular coffee, especially if water-processed. Although caffeine has its pros, decaf coffee might be a better choice for those sensitive to caffeine, offering a gentler way to benefit from coffee’s nutrients.
Alkaline vs Hydrogen-Rich Water
According to Dr. Gundry, alkaline water is largely unnecessary, as it doesn’t significantly alter body pH. However, he suggests hydrogen-rich water as it has shown improvements in blood flow and mental health. Gundry MD even has a solution in the form of H2 Restore tablets.
Starting a Lectin-Free Diet
Dr. Gundry emphasizes removing mischievous grains and pseudo grains from your diet for a good start on a lectin-free lifestyle. With products like sorghum, millet, and several lectin-free pastas, you can enjoy familiar textures and tastes without lectins.
Innovative Recipes with Lectin-Free Grains
Enjoy innovative cooking with lectin-free grains like making oatmeal out of millet or utilizing sorghum in soups and stuffings. They offer an alternative that still satisfies your cravings for traditional dishes.
The Convenience of Lectin-Free Pasta
Lectin-free pasta made from sorghum and other ingredients are truly convincing. Dr. Gundry’s pasta manages to replicate the traditional feel and taste, which can make transitioning to a lectin-free diet much easier.
