Top Foods You Should ALWAYS Have in Your Kitchen | Dr. Steven Gundry
What’s the one thing you do every day, most of us do this several times a day that impacts your health and longevity the most? If you said eat - you get a gold star!
Now why is eating so impactful? Food is information for your gut bacteria. It either feeds the good guys or the bad guys. With every bite, it can either harm your health or help your health…
In fact, I so believe in this, the principle Hippocrates said long ago: ‘let thy food by thy medicine and thy medicine by thy food.” That food and the foods to avoid are my go-to ‘prescription.’For healing my patients and in all my books, too.
So, today, it’s all about the essential and healthiest foods you need to feed your gut buddies so you can thrive!
I’ll talk about the 5 essential foods to always have in your kitchen for health, the best fermented foods to eat and also, reveal the truth behind big food’s misleading nutrition labels.

So antibiotics added to sausage is good?
Thanks for summed it all for us.
Thank you👏👏👏
Very Cool of You ❤
Your my hero!!
Whoever reads this, I pray to the universe to cure all your diseases, and to remove all your pains from your daily life 🙏

What do you mean "the universe "
The universe was created by God. Let’s not worship the creation, but the Creator. I pray that you come to the truth and believe it.🙌🏼
The universe is impersonal!
Thank you❤
This doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health. He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way. I just love learning from his simple to understand videos ... I respect this man immensely. 👍
A lot of what he teaches is incorrect. You need to listen to a great many people who actually do the research to determine what is accurate. Dr. Grundy engages in click bait. Don't drink a shot of olive oil unless you actually want to ingest 14% saturated saturated fat & be overweight.
He makes the mistake of considering all humans the same. One man's good food is another man's bad food. He ignorres that some people have auto-immune problems and there are 4 different blood types. They all do differently with different foods. Check out "Eat Right for Your Type".
He says a lot of controversial things that other whole food plant based physicians with 50 years as a vegan & who do their own research disagree with. He is quite controversial.
Amen
I respect you dr g but some of us suffer from nervous and sensitive stomach ....is there eney solutions ..
Ive been eating dark green leafy vegies since I was a child.. i have never been in hospital since then. I stay slim and energetic and been a farmer for almost 35 yrs
WOW. Thats Great. Keep up The Good work. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hopefully you don't use glyphosate or pesticides!!
@@snowbird6855 i grow my own garden and vegies with out any pesticides. I just use blood& bones fertilizer.
Had any kidney stones yet?
@@vinceedwards142 These can be easily avoided if you use apple cider vinegar or consume lemon juice.
I’d been suffering from hoshimoto for years not knowing my diet was keeping me physically & mentally sick. Your information has aided in changing my life. I changed my diet after stumbling on your lechtins video randomly and thank god I did. I’m always telling people about you now.
What specifically did you change? My daughter has Hashimotos & gained a lot of weight.
I have to disagree with MCT oil. It is great for memory/Alzheimers (wont cure it but in some patients can reduce symptoms). I swish with it - oil pulling. To drink it, causes severe heartburn.
@@shepburn4755drink some apple cider vinegar
Thank you so much Dr Gundry, I’m doing so much better now that I know how important polyphenol’s are and have made them part of my way of life❤
Can't get enough of Dr. Gundry
Same here.
I love this guy… He saved my life .. His diet has given me tons of more energy and all the supplements are rockin good!! Lectin free Plants are the way ta go! My back still hurts from time to time but it’s much better.. To put it in music terms I feel better than a cranked up Marshall stack!
Alpha lipoic acid helps my back pain immensely. It also helps my friend with very bad knees. I think it’s pretty safe. Check it out. You can take up to 1,800 mg a day according to Dr. Berg.
You’re a fountain of important information. Thank you, Dr. Gundry.
Such good information! Thank you
Dr Gundry I have a quick question please. I take Catherine Anston's spirulina and chlorella do I need more in my diet to be healthy than that? Thank you for what you do for humanity as it is so much needed. God bless you and yours. You're Godsent for humanity because of what certain people do to our food, etc., this day and age. Thank you for your time very much. You're so appreciated by so many. Thank you again for everything that you do. Coming from Central Texas and I've been watching you for 2 to 3 years and have learned a tremendous amount of knowledge from your videos.
Very helpful, thank you 🙏🏻🌷✨🙏🏻
Thank you for your best advice like always
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Thank you for covering the topic so comprehensively.
Dr Gundry, I’ve only just started learning all this about our diets being garbage. I just happened upon a KZhead video from Thomas Seyfried, which led me to Robert Lustig & you. While my brain gets lost in all the scientific lingo, I’ve begun catching on. I’m likely one of those people that eat all the wrong things, though, I don’t eat fast food much. I’ve never been much for sweets, maybe a few times a year, as I tend to prefer salty things. While trying to navigate through “what’s healthy and what’s not”, I find myself becoming more distressed. I can’t afford so much of what I’m supposed to eat, and I really don’t like avocados, and am allergic to coconut. I do love a good salad, but I love my tomato’s and cucumbers! Oddly enough, I’ve been eating less bread, which is weird because I love my ham and cheese sandwiches. I tried the low carb wraps, and I did well with that. Are there small steps a person can take to help start toward this healthy eating? I did start taking omega3 with the dha/epa and vitamin D, but I’m overwhelmed with all I’ve learned and how to make it work without ending up in the poorhouse!
Eat fatty red meat
You said it, small steps so don't get overwhelmed. Prioritize food most important regarding money. Elimination diet helps too what food works for YOU, not what others say work.
Add Ray Peat PHD… his work is phenomenally backed up by science.
It's very interesting video.I learn a lot.Thank you Dr Gundry
I'm coming late to hear and read Dr. Gundry after seeing him as a guest on a M.D.'s podcast where he spoke on the fact that blue zones include smokers and proceeded to tell why that benefited them. I thought that took nerve and it illicited immediate respect from me. I have a family that suffers from food allergies and sensitivities and we have controlled them all with diet and I've struggled with MSM for decades, having to see "alternative" MDs which the medical community has tried to run out of medicine until the current research is proving they were right about so much, including the gut to brain connection. Interesting about quinoa. I developed T2D before my research began for my children and quinoa will raise my blood sugar immediately to the point that I'm uncomfortable. Maybe the Incas were on to something. And so is Gundry. Thank you.
Why does Gundry concentrate on Lectins, but not Oxalates?
i wonder about this myself ..... dark vegetables have a dark side too
Thank you doctor to confirme my mother’s oldfashion cuisine based on fermented food. Im polish living in south of France, I combine méditerranéen and polish cuisine, my French husbend loves it, and ours guts love it! Thank you doctor!
I love you Dr Gundry ❤️🙏🏻
Good job on tying to educate us.We need all the help we can get!! I really appreciate your knowlege on this important subject of life.
Highly competent doctor!
Amazing Podcast as usual, great to learn something new everyday 😁 Alan H
I have studied myself about the things he says, and have to say he's right, and people that don't know that it's their loss. I suggest research it too, and then it all makes sense.
Not only great info but elegant fashion as well. Beautifully matching suits with ties and even colors of eyeglasses, very impressive! Thanks for inspiration in health and style!
Just found this channel. Thank you.
Very helpful. Great variety of healthy food. Thank you Dr. Gundry
Man o man, this is awesome stuff. I'm taking notes as I watch. Thank you for the info. I'll be watching more videos.
i love your interview 3 weeks ago with that young allrounder doctor, he has 0 idea of anything
Very interesting!!!
I love bok choy, but it is NOT bitter, nor is it among the darkest leafy vegetables - also, it will not store that long. Yes, it's a cruciferous vegetable, but since it has a high water content, it doesn't last that long in the fridge.
@@metallisomething653 I wouldn't call it high sugar - 1 cup of Bok Choy has only 1.5 grams of carbs and .8 grams of sugar - hardly a starchy veg. ;)
in my new refidge it will last 2 weeks.
Yes I ate broccoli with nuts mixed in together 🥦 with some potatoes and bird yesterday Dr. Guntry
Definitely the best way is to go Whole food, the way they came from the earth, no manipulated by man.
This man is great
I think I grew up eating like that. At the time (in Poland) we ate sour dough bread (mostly a rye bread - the taste of it ❤❤❤), fermented cucumbers and cabbage, we soaked beans etc. I miss those foods!
I grew up with this in Estonia - fermented veg and raw marinated fish Had to learnt how to make my own kimchi, sauerkraut, marinate fish as I love these foods 🥰 Now I live in UK and not many people understand my ‘diet’ 😬😁
Does soaking beans get rid of lectins
@@kathyjohnston3971I believe some lectins but not all they're in the peel You have to rinse them multiple times. That's why our ancestors soaked beans because the shells were considered poison. He does mention two companies that make canned beans that have been pressure cooked One of them is Eden and I cannot remember the name of the other but he claims that pressure cooking is the only way to get rid of lectins. Makes sense to me
@kathyjohnston3971 I've heard if you soak by changing water several times improves results.
I think about how much it would have helped me if I had known Dr. Steven Gundry a long time ago and listened to his excellent lectures on health. He is a doctor who is essential in this era.
The best❤
You're right about lectins... what about other antinutrients: phytates, oxalates, solanines, saponins, etc?
“And no resident will say: “I am sick.”
Looking forward to that day. Can’t wait
Waiting for that day ….
Great video. Does Dr Gundry have an updated status regarding Pili nuts for APOE4 folks? In previous video, he cautioned that they should avoid until further testing about impact for APOE4. Thank you.
TY😊❤😊
Love ir Dr. G! Please check on your magazine. So much different in there from your teachings.
Dear Dr Gundry, I have been following you for years and I am in terrific shape, thank you! Sadly, I have fell upon tough economic times and no longer buy avocados (they are $9 for half a dozen at Costco, and that's the best price I have seen). Is there a close "second best"?? Thanks again!!
A very useful information! You've mentioned specifically red wine in the podcast, what about white wine?
Unfortunately, Dr. Gundry did not mention that many chocolates have been tested for levels of lead and cadmium. Consumer Reports tested many and found those with higher levels and those with lower levels of lead and cadmium. From another KZhead video, I discovered that Ghirardelli was one of the best for lower levels. Ghirardelli produces a premium baking chocolate that is 100% cacao with NO sweetener. It's the only one that I use.
Which is worst?
The only one that I can remember in the bad/worst category is Lindt Lindor.@@mariakasionis5895
He does mention it doesn’t it? He said to steer from fear
He did around 12:34
Don't worry after years of driving cars your organism is already immune to the very little amount of lead or cadmium in chocolate.
❤ Bitter guard juice is very good too
Bitter gourd.
My favorite is a kraut and mustard dog except you better make sure your hot dogs are prairie grass-fed dogs with no sulfites or nitrates or whatever else they put in them I found a brand called Teton hot dogs probably the only one I could find and they're delicious except they cost about twice as much but hey you want to live twice as long or twice as not not only that do you want to feel twice as good or twice as not those are the questions you have to ask yourself
I love it, he's carefree giving be rich to eat this way or leave the video, im poor as hell but still here😂
I soak walnuts and almonds in Half a glass of water cold water overnight, peel the almonds in the morning. Auurvedic tip. 9:33
I have been taking Paul Saldinos advice and eliminating vegetables except lettuce. Cruciferous vegetables bloat and constipate me. Magnesium glycinate helps w/ constipation. I do like walnuts purred, w/ olive oil, mustard, saurkraut, avo, acv and sardines, anchovies or mackeral. A easy salad dressing /non heat meal.
If you are eliminating all vegetables other than lettuce you are likely not getting enough fiber to feed your gut biome. That could have long term health consequences for you. I would definitely do further research.
Magnesium citrate helps with constipation. Magnesium glycinate helps with sleeping.
Yes, but for me, sleep is elusive. I try.
Magnesium glycinate is for sleep. Magnesium citrate is for pooping.
What about anti nutrients in greens. Oxalates also. I got thyroid disease after drinking dark green smoothies every morning for months.
Like our nona's used to say: too much of anything is bad for you. I'm Mediterranean, but, we never eat super dark greens like kale raw (or spinach, etc), not to mention every day or in a smoothie. Tomatoe seeds are loaded with oxalate and considering how much italians eat it, they should all be sick, but they aren't. My husband had to eliminate oxalates for a period becouse he had some tiny kidney stones, but the issue was not about him having too much oxalates, rather he drinks too little water, so his kidneys don't "wash" properly and residues accumulate (oxalate, calcium, urine residue...).
Informative 😊
Why nobody does anything about the way the chickens are treated in farms?
Animal Societies such as Humane Society among many others are trying to help the chickens. Look into the Societies and add your voice. How we spend our dollar has a major effect.
What would you like to do?
Hello dear Doctor Gundry, I’m taking black garlic every day, what’s your opinion about taking black garlic? I thank you in advance.
I eat avocados and greens and arugula and bok choy I love .nuts hurt my stomach...i might eat a few Brazil nuts...i use tahini..I put mct oil in my coffee..i use organic olive oil from Italy...i eat cacao but yes i was nervous about the lead..i eat keto cups..Evolve brand...i eat some sourdough bread but only once a month due to carbs....i eat sauerkraut and i love raw cheeses..weird no sausage but i like organic pasture raised beef hot dogs...I have to cut them out..
Dark green leafy can apply to every tree in the forest some down right poisonous like chard and spinach. I ignored the vegetable based diet advice I had been fed throughout my life and that ended up saving my life. My friends stuck with to the shortened life end.
Thanks a lot Dr G! Is Wheat Germ oil Gluten Free?
I love kombucha vinegar
Love almonds with dark chocolate. Peanuts and other legumes are all over my blood type diet. Why not peanut butter?
maybe because it's highly inflammatory
Fantastic! I wonder what Dr. G thinks about sprouted bread?
The US Gov't has updated their overly lenient and overly forgiving maximum levels of cadmium and lead. Only a couple of brands of dark choc are w/i the newer maximum toxic levels of both lead and cadmium according to CR Mag. CR Mag is not too careless in their work product.
I like. My Brazil nuts but I only get organic Brazil nuts.Because I understand Brazil, they have a lot of pesticides.
The Chicken segment....got you a new Sub❤
CHARACTERISTICS Peanuts have a high content of unsaturated fat. Replacing saturated fat with unsaturated fat in the diet helps maintain normal cholesterol levels in the blood. Peanuts also have a high content of vitamin E, thiamin, niacin, folate, iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper and phosphorus. Vitamin E and zinc help protect cells from oxidative stress. Thiamin and niacin contribute to normal energy metabolism, while folate helps to reduce fatigue and exhaustion. Iron contributes to the normal transport of oxygen in the body, while calcium, magnesium and phosphorus help to maintain normal bones and teeth. Peanuts are also a source of protein and vitamin B6 and also have a high content of dietary fibre. Protein contributes to growth in muscle mass, while vitamin B6 contributes to the normal turnover of protein and glycogen. Dietary fiber is beneficial for digestion.
What about oxalates Dr G ?
whar about peeled walnut butter? would this be a good alternative?
Dr. Gundry ,What's the best brand of MCT ?
I drink green tea every day..several cups. Feel great! Anyone know where I can find fermented sausage here in the USA? I see some Halal on Amazon, but I was wondering if any stores carried it?
Broccoli rabe the best! 😋
Dear Dr. Gundry, I just ordered your gut check health book. It's not the first book of yours I have read. What I really want to know is what are you brewing in your tea? Even though we live in the desert of Southern Nevada, I love hot tea. Thanks for sharing!
I'm not 100% sure but I think he usually has his vital reds mixed with water on his podcasts. But if you did want a vibrant tea coloured the same as his vital reds, I'd say hibiscus tea is of similar colour 😁
I make my own kombucha. I make it with sugar and tea. ...what could I use instead of sugar?
I was with a bad gastrointestinal issues and I decided to buy sourdough bread and almost killed me. I takin treatment for leaky gut and not sure if I will be able to eat sourdough bread or bread again.
The commercial bread I have has yeast in it. It's listed on the label.
Thank you kindly for this very important video on eating healthy vegetable's and nuts ❤
link to prep to eat
Yes..small bottle EVOO. Was telling my mother ab that yesterday. Great vid and thanks. One question...most dark choc, even with higher cacao %, has some added sugar. Is that okay? Looks like ab 4g per serving in Lindnt dark choc 85% cacao. Added sugar is bad news and too much will damage mitochondria, right?
U can easily find 100% chocolate. I only consume this sort of chocolate and can not bear a sweetness of 85 %.
Dr. Gundry Please make a video on chocolate. good and not so good
Hi Dr. Gundry, great video thanks. have you heard of Peptide BPC 157? It is apparently related to gut and joint health benefits. Could you do a podcast about this?
This worked great for me. No side effects either. I took them orally for 1 month and my shoulder pain went away my knees feel so much better also.

The vinegar recommended (napa valley) contains sulphites? Is there another recommendation with doesn’t contain sulphites?
Doctor Gundry, can I take advocado oil capsules, because I hate eating avocado's.

Any thoughts on Trans-vaccenic acid (TVA) which helps prevent cancer and is found mainly in meat and dairy? "University of Chicago researchers studied hundreds of different nutrients that influenced the growth of cancer cells and the ability for cancer treatments to work and zeroed in on one called Trans-vaccenic acid (TVA)."
How do you ferment quinoa???
what’s the chip he said to use to dip guac?
Dr Gundry, you recommend trying Napa Valley Naturals Balsamic Vinegar. I looked it up on Amazon, You failed to tell us that this Vinegar is high in added sugar. The label states "12% added sugar, 2% natural sugar. This is a high-carb/sugar food. What do you think about this?
Good for you! You're doing your research and not blindly adhering to what someone says just b/c they have MD behind their name. Cardiologist have been giving very poor dietary information to patients for decades. This man gives a great deal of very poor information.
@@annemccarron2281totally agree. He has many erroneous assertions (and some good ones too) and provides no research evidence to base his opinions on. Many of these Drs know nothing about nutrition.
I make my own apple cider vinegar and yogurt etc so I know what's in them!

He cannot recommend a brand!
I feel like this is information overload but I am trying to add mor cruciferous vegrtables in my diet. I love arugula! I crave that bitter taste.
As for dark chocolate, buy only those with no alkali. There is a list of dark chocolates w/o lead & cadmium in it.

I get canker sores when I eat almonds, walnuts or sun flower seeds.
Peeled almond butter?? Does anyone have an actual brand or recommendation? Not seeing anything on amazon
I only eat 1 slice bread a week. For the rest don’t eat bread or cereals. I make ‘ bread’. From eggs and some seeds, a bit oliveoil, vinegar, salt and natrium bicarbonate. Sometimes i add a bit vegetables. And i make my own yogurt. = very easy. Without a machine
Thank you Dr Gundry. I’m not to the point to just have one when it comes to chocolate. It’s from my past carb/sugar addiction. My question has to do with what I’ve been told the detrimental affects of oxalates in certain foods, such as almonds, chard, spinach, and even chocolate. Is this a concern. Thank you,
