About this listen
"I read this book...it worked. My autoimmune disease is gone, and I'm 37 pounds lighter in my pleather." (Kelly Clarkson)
Most of us have heard of gluten - a protein found in wheat that causes widespread inflammation in the body. Americans spend billions of dollars on gluten-free diets in an effort to protect their health. But what if we’ve been missing the root of the problem? In The Plant Paradox, renowned cardiologist Dr. Steven Gundry reveals that gluten is just one variety of a common, and highly toxic, plant-based protein called lectin. Lectins are found not only in grains like wheat but also in the “gluten-free” foods most of us commonly regard as healthy, including many fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, and conventional dairy products. These proteins, which are found in the seeds, grains, skins, rinds, and leaves of plants, are designed by nature to protect them from predators (including humans). Once ingested, they incite a kind of chemical warfare in our bodies, causing inflammatory reactions that can lead to weight gain and serious health conditions.
At his waitlist-only clinics in California, Dr. Gundry has successfully treated tens of thousands of patients suffering from autoimmune disorders, diabetes, leaky gut syndrome, heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases with a protocol that detoxes the cells, repairs the gut, and nourishes the body. Now, in The Plant Paradox, he shares this clinically proven program with listeners around the world.
The simple (and daunting) fact is, lectins are everywhere. Thankfully, Dr. Gundry offers simple hacks we easily can employ to avoid them, including:
- Peel your veggies. Most of the lectins are contained in the skin and seeds of plants; simply peeling and de-seeding vegetables (like tomatoes and peppers) reduces their lectin content.
- Shop for fruit in season. Fruit contain fewer lectins when ripe, so eating apples, berries, and other lectin-containing fruits at the peak of ripeness helps minimize your lectin consumption.
- Swap your brown rice for white. Whole grains and seeds with hard outer coatings are designed by nature to cause digestive distress - and are full of lectins.
With a full list of lectin-containing foods and simple substitutes for each, a step-by-step detox and eating plan, and delicious lectin-free recipes, The Plant Paradox illuminates the hidden dangers lurking in your salad bowl - and shows you how to eat whole foods in a whole new way.

Since the introduction of dietary guidelines calling for reduced fat intake in the 1970s, a strange phenomenon has occurred: Americans have steadily, inexorably become heavier, less healthy, and more prone to diabetes than ever before. After putting more than two thousand of his at-risk patients on a wheat-free regimen and seeing extraordinary results, cardiologist William Davis has come to the disturbing conclusion that it is not fat, not sugar, not our sedentary lifestyle that is causing America’s obesity epidemic—it is wheat.

Writing with clear, persuasive language, he explains why conventional treatments that rely on insulin or other blood-glucose-lowering drugs can actually exacerbate the problem, leading to significant weight gain and even heart disease.

Because of our highly processed diet, pesticides, and overuse of antibiotics, our guts are now missing so many of the good bacteria that we require to be healthy. As a result, many of us have lost control over our health, weight, mood, and even behavior. With cutting-edge research, Dr. Davis connects the dots between gut health and modern ailments such as SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), a silent and profound epidemic, which affects one out of three people and is responsible for an astounding range of human health conditions.

might work for some
so i bought this to see if it had anything in for my husband who has a host of middle age conditions. the subject was very interesting and I'll definitely be incorporating some of the ideas into our general eating plan. I'm going to agree to disagree on the subject of meat and aging, there are a few high amimal fat cultures out there that remain healthy just as there are high carb, so its not the macros. The description of blood markers that he described actually describes my hisband in a very spooky way, and i was looking forward to seeing the recipes. These are why the book got a lower rating than 5 stars. They barely match the text, look awful, sound awful and were a real let down. I'll try the principles of the book but not the recipes. i hate chicken and good luck finding pasture chicken, not even whole foods sells it. you have to go online, almonds are in the recipes but not in the approved foods list ( almonds are reactive for me so a no go) and eggs everywhere even after saying keep proteins low. just sloppy and boring and another food i react to. just nothing to make and dont give me that vegan egg garbage, they dont work and taste like f@rt. sloppy.

Intriguingly appropriate!
Great Narrator! Easy on the ears to follow. Fascinating subject matter for those into the subject of healthy living, nutrition, and longevity.
Great view point for vegetarians and vegans to meat eaters. Worth a listen. Grundy is believable because of his background and observations from patients. With a career as a heart surgeon in the Blue Zone, Loma Linda, Ca.

What you don’t know will kill you!
I met “The Plant Paradox” when I had just come off 80mg of Pravastatin due to leg pains. I have already seen great results, and I am determined to follow Dr.Gundry’s advice to resolve my high cholesterol safely. I have been treated with Rapatha, so this is serious!
