You’re not just what you eat—you’re what your microbes eat. And some of them? They might be making you anxious, addicted, or even depressed.
Dr. Steven Gundry says your microbiome may be hijacking your brain—and your mood.
The former world-renowned heart surgeon turned gut-health pioneer is back to share his latest discoveries, and they’re wild. We’re talking about bacteria in the brain, microbiomes that reward eating disorders, and the shocking reason Alzheimer’s drugs keep failing.
Learn why your gut is the root of mental health issues and how specific bugs in your belly may literally be driving addiction.
Dr. Gundry also explains the exact gut-healing protocol he uses in his clinic (yes, he still sees patients six days a week) that you can implement today.
Key discussion points…
