Dr. Steven Gundry: Is Fungus Secretly Running the World—and Your Gut?  : 1270

Dr. Steven Gundry: Is Fungus Secretly Running the World—and Your Gut? : 1270

If your brain feels foggy, your mood swings like a pendulum, or your cravings seem to control you—this episode will flip what you think you know about your body and your mind. Because what if your thoughts… aren’t really yours?

In this mind-altering episode of The Human Upgrade, Dr. Steven Gundry reveals a startling new theory: your gut microbiome might be controlling your thoughts. From addiction and depression to obesity and inflammation, the microbes living in your gut—bacteria, fungi, viruses, even parasites—may be pulling the strings on your brain chemistry, mood, and behavior.

Dave Asprey and Dr. Gundry dive deep into The Gut-Brain Paradox, exposing how the gut-brain axis operates more like a microbial command center than a digestive system. You’ll learn why probiotic pills rarely work, how the wrong microbes can drive compulsive behavior, and how toxic foods, glyphosate, and antibiotics have turned our guts into neurological war zones.

Most shocking of all? Microbes may not just influence addiction—they may cause it.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How your gut microbiome can hijack your brain and influence your thoughts and behavior

• Why certain microbes may actually cause addiction, obesity, and depression

• How antibiotics, glyphosate, and processed foods are turning your gut into a desert

• How to rebuild your gut ecosystem using postbiotics, fermented foods, and precision inputs

• Why food cravings might be microbial mind control—and what to do about it

• What the latest science reveals about the gut-brain axis, neurotransmitters, and neuroinflammation

Jonathan Kos is an IT professional and a recent follower of the Bulletproof Diet.  He is a 44 year old IT professional . At 6' 3" and a former college athlete that played football, competitive ice hockey up until the age of 25 he was an extremely fit 220 lbs and my coaches wanted me up to 275 or so to play the defensive line so I was eating literally non stop to put weight on. After college he dropped down to around 200 lbs and eventually settled at for me was a healthy 235.  As he got older and more settled in his job, his weight climbed and he couldn’t keep his weight in check with exercise alone and he started to have to diet he was up to 300 lbs and was exercising more that ever but the weight didn’t come off. After he met his wife, exercise was out the window, a carb heavy diet was in, and his weight ballooned up to 365lbs. He was about to give up until he heard Tait Fletcher on Joe Rogan's podcast mentioning Bulletproof ® Coffee and he gave it a shot. He lost 45lbs in 45 days, and is here to share his experience with you.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

#44: Salt and self-experimentation with Greg Pomerantz

#44: Salt and self-experimentation with Greg Pomerantz

For Greg Pomerantz everything is a science experiment. He takes citizen science to a personal level by biohacking his blood pressure and detailing his data. He blogged about his self-experiment research on salt clarifying some concerns he had about salt’s effect on the body. He determined what his salt type is, either one is salt sensitive, or one that isn’t affected much by increases in salt. He discusses how to do that in today’s podcast.
