1110. Why You Have Gut Problems: The TRUTH About “Healthy” Foods & Your Mitochondria w/ Dr. Steven Gundry

Heal Squad x Maria Menounos

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back for Part 2 with the one and only Dr. Steven Gundry! We’re talking about why your favorite “healthy” foods, like cucumbers, tomatoes, and bell peppers, might actually be hurting your gut. Dr. Gundry breaks down what lectins are, how they trigger inflammation, and how to work with your body instead of against it.

We also get into how energy doesn’t come from caffeine or carbs, it comes from your mitochondria. And spoiler: most of us are draining our energy systems without realizing it. Dr. Gundry shares exactly how to nourish your mitochondria and start feeling better fast.

Plus, the truth about olive oil. How much is too much? (Hint: you're probably not using enough.) And why this one food might be the ultimate anti-aging tool.

This is exactly what your gut really needs to thrive. Tune in, Heal Squad!!

HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:

• “Healthy” foods can hurt you. Many foods labeled as “heart-healthy” or “gut-friendly” (like whole grains and beans) are loaded with lectins that can damage the gut lining and cause inflammation.

• Energy isn’t just about calories, it’s about mitochondria. Dr. Gundry explains how mitochondrial health is the real key to energy, longevity, and healing… and why most people are running on low power without realizing it.

• Olive oil is liquid gold. It feeds your good gut bugs, supports anti-aging, reduces inflammation, and improves mitochondrial function. Gundry recommends aiming for a liter per week for optimal health.
