Dr. Gundry’s Plant Paradox vs. Longevity Paradox

Thanks for watching! Are there any other health topics you'd like to hear more about? - Dr G

Mushroom, like Quorn...does it work against gout?

I would like to hear about diabetes and the foods on the paradox

As you state in your book I have been omitting any foods that can be harmful for someone with kidney disease. What supplements would you recommend for someone with Berger disease(autoimmune kidney disease)?

Ok. My wife & I started the plant Paradox 3 weeks ago. Just now reading Longevity. However, she’s having low energy problems. Any suggestions?

Is coconut good for us

Does the Longevity Paradox work for very young children? I didn't think it did because of the fasting element. What would need to be adjusted to make it work for toddlers?

Hi Dr. Gundry, can we ask how to heal from severe eczema because cortisone, steroids, antibacterial and antihistamine are only working temporarily. We hope you can make a how to video. Thanks!

Moringa , is it healthy and lectin free?

Dr Grundry, you say that we should consume lots of olive oil. I read that 70 % of olive oils are either fake or are diluted with cheaper much worse oils like canola. Can you suggest source of or a pure olive oil brand. I would very much like to comply with your suggestion of consuming lots of this great oil. I have at least 2 1/2  gal of olive oil that did not pass the freeze test and I have to throw it out.

What can I do to get off of my blood pressure medication

Can you explain more about bipolar and anxiety? How can certain foods improve these issues? Thanks!!!

What about pea protein that's showing up everywhere now... Good or bad?

You wear the best suits. And, always a great suit, shirt and tie color coordination. When I worked in New York City, I owned 23 custom-made suits and over 100 silk ties, tons of shirts, shoes, etc. You're lookin' good, Doc!

You mentioned herbs for your longevity paradox. I have one to add is tumeric which is in mustard sauce. I highly recommend this since it is beneficial to all your digestion health.

Hi Dr. Gundry, cardiac arrest survivor and enthusiastic follower of the plant paradox. I'm reading the Longevity Paradox and understand your thoughts on animal protein - specifically beef. Q: What are your thoughts on Collagen Peptides? I'm adding a scoop to my morning green smoothie - should I continue? Thanks for all you do.

Dr Gundry. As an Asian, we eat a lot of rice and in General, we cook them with normal rice cooker. Pls advice and talk about the white rice . Many Tks.

IN YOUR RECIPES DO YOU ALL ORGANIC FOODS IF POSSIBLE?

I have Collagenous Colitis and would love to hear about any dietary successes . Thank you!

Thank you for your research, books and humor. Will you be writing anything in book for for Apoe4 patients? The Longevity Paradox has some, but it does not distinguish between coconut oil as much as other research I've read. With Apoe4 people, it's hard to find enough food for health when so much is removed, especially if other food allergies exist! Would love more Apoe4 recipes :-)

Hello Dr Gundry, Greeting from Munich, Germany! I know that none of grains are on your yes list. But what do you think about organic gluten-free oats. They don't appear to cause me any trouble. Keep the great work! Thanks much!

Hello Dr Gundry. In some of your recent work, you have advocated for the consumption of resistant starches. e.g. White Indian Basmati rice which has been cooked, cooled overnight, and reheated. I have recently experimented with a few resistant starches such as cassava, taro, sweet potato, and Jamaican yams, subjecting them to the same cooking and cooling treatment as you recommended for the Basmati rice. I felt fantastic. My question: How much should we eat? Based on the macronutrient numbers for these starches, I should eschew anything more than a tablespoon or two of these per day. However, my experience says that I can handle more. Do you have a guideline for the frequency and quantity for these kinds of resistant starches?

Can you discuss why cruciferous vegetables are safe compared to nightshades? Do cruciferous vegetables have lectins?

What about fructose? I find I get very bloated with Onions. Should I still avoid this before I start.

Great video, Dr Gundry. Appreciate your take on most things! Confused about your comments regarding canned beans...I don’t think anyone cans beans (home or commercial) without using a pressure cooker of some sort. Beans are just too subject to bacteria in any other form of canning, so I certainly think every brand is pressure cooked, not just Eden’s and that is probably by standards for processing. Would be glad if you did some more research into that and verify and if you agree, you could just encourage people to buy canned beans if they are not going to pressure cook their own, and not just endorse Edens. Thank you!

does grinding flax seed make them harmful

What’s the deal with sprouted/soaked nuts and grains? Are raw walnuts ok?

Lentils vs miracle noodles. Miracle noodles love them I get my protein from sardines every day.

Dr. Gundry, I carry one copy of the APOE4 Gene and was wondering if hemp tofu is okay to eat?

Diet is my main interest.

What about beer ? There's no mention yet it's fermented. Wine clearly okay if limited, but is beer harmful to gut buddies ?

Thank you Dr. Gundry..just started The Plant Paradox 5 days ago and can't wait to reap the rewards. As a single mom to 7 kiddos with severe hypertension, I believe this will not only save my life but also change it so much. Again, can't say thank you enough!!!

Hi Dr. Gundry! What about carob? Is it allowed or not? No information about this product (that is popular in some Mediterranean regions) in both Plant Paradox and Longevity Paradox. It's a legume, but seeds aren't eaten only flesh, so I'm confused...

Yes lemon I eat it everyday skin and all is that good for me

Hello Dr Gundry, thank you so much of your work, I bought all your books. I have two questions: what kind of figs should we eat, dried or fresh? And how can we build more collagen ? Kind regards, Rui

Does taking vital reds in the morning break the no breakfast before 10am rule?

I have read your first three books. Question: Have you ever heard of leaf protein -- sometimes called concentrated leaf protein? What do you think of it? Let's say it could be from tree collards, or moringa leaves, or gogi leaves, or industrial hemp leaves, or stinging nettle leaves? In other words not just kale, collards, spinach and tree collards, or micro greens. What I read is that leaf protein is made up of shorter/smaller proteins that are much easier for the body to digest, much less effort, less energy needed, digests quicker. Is that true? .... The thing is, people who are allergic to wheat, dairy and soy, and have a hard time with beans, even when those legumes are pressure cooked, do not have a lot of choices or options when it comes to protein -- IF they want to be vegan or vegetarian. The wheat protein molecule and the milk protein molecule are almost alike -- people who are allergic to one are usually allergic to the other. Leaf protein would change that limitation. That is my situation, and this is my hope. But also, in a world that will soon be ten billion people, we need new sources of cheap healthy protein. Thanks. I have a friend who had a wholesale & retail nursery that sells goji. He had tests done on the leaves and the lab found no lectins or anti nutrients in the leaves.

Hi Dr. Grundy! Could you talk about type 1 diabetes and what they are allowed to eat on your diet? Thank you so much!

Is there any benefit or detriment to drinking aloe vera juice. Is it Plant Paradox compliant? Thanks . I’ve lost 50 lbs on PP .

Thank you for all the time you spend with your research and share with us. I own your books and am following your instructions or suggestions. I am also very interested in how to follow all this with rheumatoid arthritis and any form of diabetes. These all stem from a leaky gut. God bless you.

Eden Brand has canned lentils that include tomato puree and Shoyu soy sauce, are these two ingredients pressure cooked along with the lentils, so are lectin free?

Thank you for the clarity & thank you for sharing the new research! Some people don’t understand how important ongoing research is. I agree with other comments that a new Yes/No list would be nice for us following the Longevity Paradox Plan😊

Dr Gundry. Thank you for all your work and for sharing your insights and wisdom.

Are the peels of sweet potatoes healthy to consume or should they be discarded?

Love getting my olive oil intake with purple Japanese sweet potatoes - in reasonable amounts a couple times a week. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi dr. Gundry, I am a relly big fan and a proponent of your diet and your ideas generally. I have, although, one question that bothers me, and that is about saturated fats. In one of your videos you said that if we want to stay healthy, we need to stay away from saturated fats in general, and you mentioned the famous study from dr. Ancel Keys. As I am really curious about health and healthy food´s, I read books from different authors that have a similar philosophy as yourself, with an exception of them promoting grass fed satureted fats as very healthy. Some of them were even your guests in your videos, like dr. Mercola and Dave Asprey (even he isn´t an MD, he did some serious research), and their diet plans are recognised as effective methods for healing and having more energy. I heard lot´s of times them saying that our cell membranes are greatly made up of saturated fat, and that this would be an obvious reason to consume more of these fats. They also demonised dr. Ancel Keys with some pretty strong arguments, and frankly they are just a drop in the ocean of people who share the same opinion. But, you dr. Gundry are undoubtedly the greatest name with the most impressive career of all the NY-Times best selling authors abouth health and dieting, and I would be more than thankful if you could share with us a more detailed opinion on that topic! Thank you for looking up for us and greetings from Munich!

Yes, I would like to know something about the microbiome. I have been married for 40 years. I’m assuming since I’ve been with this same person for so long we probably share some of the same gut bugs. He has had glaucoma for the past 10 years. Now I have it although there is no history of glaucoma in my family. Could I have gotten this from him? Thanks, Dr. Gundry. I love learning from you!

Thank You for your update. I agree with Andy Sichley about needing a updated list, I would also like to see a list of food that need to be pressure cooked to make them safe.Once again, Thank You for watching out for my health, and longevity.

Bigfoot seems to have the best longevity diet in the History of mankind. What does Bigfoot eat ?

How did ancient peoples time travel into the future to buy pressure cookers to cook their beans ?

Hello Dr Gundry, as a new fan of your work, at age 57 do you think i need to follow the Plant Paradox or longevity Paradox, will i get the same info form both books ?
