Can Eating Plants Do More Harm Than Good?

Today’s episode dives into how eating plants can cause inflammation in the body.

“WHAT?!” You’re probably thinking. “I thought I was supposed to eat plants!”

The short answer is yes, eat plants. But the more in depth answer is maybe there are some plants that are contributing to the inflammation in your body. Today I give you the run down on lectins, plant defense systems. Lectins are thought to have evolved as a natural defense in plants, essentially as a toxin that deters animals from eating the plants.

In “The Plant Paradox”, by Dr. Steven Gundry, MD, the mechanism by which plants defend themselves from predators (us/humans) is related to (and possibly the cause of) how it affects our GI system and our ability to absorb and process nutrients. It’s an interesting hypothesis and one that as the title refers to is a paradox to what we’ve been told about how and what to eat.

Tune in to today’s episode to find out if some plants could be the source of your digestive troubles, fatigue and many other symptoms.

Leaky Gut Syndrome is a condition in which the lining of the small intestine becomes damaged, causing undigested food particles, waste products, and bacteria to "leak" through the intestines and into the bloodstream.

Make Your Heart Happy...Eat Good Fat!

The concept of “good” & “bad” cholesterol is outdated. Yet, most docs are still focused on HDL & LDL as an indicative picture of our cardiac health. Unfortunately, they are behind on the most up to date research. In this episode I explain the role of cholesterol in the body, why our cardiac health is more complicated than just HDL & LDL, what numbers your doctor should be checking in addition, and of course what foods will help you instead of contributing to the problem.
