1109. The #1 Way to Fix a Leaky Gut & Feel Better FAST (What to Eat + What to Avoid) w/ Dr. Steven Gundry

Hey, Heal Squad! This week we’re diving deep into gut health with the brilliant Dr. Steven Gundry, cardiothoracic surgeon turned bestselling author and gut-health pioneer. Dr. Gundry breaks down why gut bugs are the real MVPs of your health, and how most of us are accidentally feeding the wrong ones. He explains how hidden triggers like lectins, sugar alcohols, and even “clean” foods are disrupting your microbiome, keeping you stuck in the inflammation spiral. PLUS, we get into why gut health affects your brain, mood, and even weight… but also shares the small changes that make a big difference. From what to ditch to what to eat more of, this conversation will help you simplify gut healing and feel better, faster. Let’s reset that gut & tune in!! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: You're feeding the wrong gut bugs. Most of us unknowingly nourish harmful bacteria by eating foods like oats, tomatoes, or sugar alcohols, which disrupt the microbiome and drive inflammation, fatigue, and brain fog. Lectins are triggering inflammation. These plant proteins (found in “healthy” foods like beans and nightshades) can damage the gut lining and lead to autoimmune issues, leaky gut, and chronic disease, especially when your gut is already compromised. Gut health is brain health. Your gut bugs produce key neurotransmitters and regulate inflammation. When the wrong bugs take over, it impacts mood, focus, and even motivation. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist DR.
