From the moment we are born, our cells begin to age. But aging does not have to mean decline. World-renowned surgeon Dr. Steven Gundry has been treating mature patients for most of his career. He knows that everyone thinks they want to live forever, until they hit middle age and witness the suffering of their parents and even their peers. So how do we solve the paradox of wanting to live to a ripe old age—but enjoy the benefits of youth? In this episode I interview renown cardiologist and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Steven Gundry to discuss how we may be living longer but not better, how to reverse the disease of aging and prevent Alzheimers, how some vegetables may actually be harming our health, how lectins could be related to the rise of autoimmune diseases, how to help children develop healthy habits, and so much more!  For more info on Dr. Gundry visit: https://drgundry.com I also highly recommend his books: The Plant Paradox: https://drgundry.com/books/ The Plant Paradox Family Cookbook: https://drgundry.com/books/ The Longevity Paradox: http://www.harperwave.com/book/9780062843395/The-Longevity-Paradox-Steven-R.-Gundry-MD/ And follow him on social media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstevengundry/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrStevenGundry/ Twitter: https://www.facebook.com/DrStevenGundry/   Additional resources: Get my new 21 day brain detox program here: https://theswitch.app Register now for my 2020 Mental Health Summit Dec 3-5 in Dallas, TX!
