I have only just started learning about lectins and only about a 3rd through the book but let me tell you how amazing this is! I have been gluten free since 2009 and yet still sick! I have been constantly trying to figure out what vitamin deficiency I had or what I may be allergic too or perhaps I needed to drink a gallon of kefir and yogurt daily! But really, its the lectins! I have cheated a few times and really felt weighed down soon after which was very enlightening!
Dr Gundry is a little interesting as a personality and he does believe we evolved from great apes but he hasn't seen the memo that came out years ago that we share more DNA with the pigs and are very far from chimps and apes... I don't believe I evolved from any creature but he has GREAT info from this like the apes and horses have incredible muscle mass and all they eat is gras and leaves! He also loves looking at the Blue Zones, one of which he has lived and worked in at Loma Linda, CA. Gut bacteria and food as medicine is controversial in the medical community and these professionals feel that if there is not enough clinical trials then they will call it unverified and continue killing all of us while they wait decades for more testing on food... Dr Gundry has seen real results on himself and his patients and all those people who have read his books and watch his videos. Our gut bacteria regulates everything in our body from our digestion to our hormones to emotions to everything and most of us have decimated their population with antibiotics and poor diets. Dr Gudry has a lot of answers and as he learns more he posts more videos and writes more books. He is one of the most amazing people I have run across and I know he knows what he is talking about.
If you are sick in any way or wish to better your life and prevent disease, pick up this book. I love his writing style, he is a bit funny at times with his older humor and matter-of-fact way of explaining all this makes it an easy to understand topic. He also tells you how to fix everything in your health without buying his products. He tells you his secrets so you can go out and buy the ingredients separately. I love his podcast videos and the way he is so honest about telling you not to eat something you think is "healthy". I love Dr G!
