Hes Like one of those health gurus that says you can't eat anything because it's slowly killing you. You might as well eat what you like you're going to die anyways
Dr. Grundry I'v been following you for quite a while and this is getting ridiculous. No beans, no night shades, no sugar, no fructose. no spinach, no nut skin, no pasta, no rice, no potatoes, no grains, now little to no protein. What the hell are we supposed to eat ? COME ON MAN
I've been eating carnivore or animal based diet to lower my blood sugar with great results . Eating lot of eggs with butter in the morning. Avoiding carbs as much as I can. This Dr. obviously is missing a lot.
@@tedcleveland8488 Balance is me eating what makes me feel good so I can enjoy life again :) If I can confirm eggs start to become a problem, then I’ll stop eating them. I went vegan for animal rights purposes so never did I feel healthy. I was tired and weak all the time with abhorrent gut issues. I’ve done food allergy testing to pinpoint sensitivities and eggs did not raise any of my inflammatory markers. Eggs are a supper food my doctors recommended I eat because it has so much of the vital nutrients my body lacked. Where as my lectin/oxalate salads causes my gut to suffer.
@@tedcleveland8488 You're probably better of sprinkling olive oil on your food and getting immediate fatter around you waste every day. Balance? Right.
Animal protein has been my life saver. Your plan doesn't work for everyone. Are they cooking the animal protein in seed oil for these cancer studies you use, I'm not convinced. My grandparents lived into their late 90s and they ate eggs and bacon every single day, butter, beef, chicken from their yard and lard. They didn't eat the junk in our grocery store grandma died from a hemorrhage and grandpa died from parkinson's at 99 and he didn't get it until he was 94
My grandmother lived to 93 and ate a fried egg and buttered toast for breakfast every day since she was a child. She ate tv dinners for supper. She died when the hospital overdosed her on pain meds when she had a fractured hip.
My grandfather ate three eggs a day, his entire adult life and lived to be 101. He was still out riding his tractor at 97. He also ate sausage or bacon and biscuits with jam and gravy. He was a very happy man and he thoroughly enjoyed his life.
Our grandparents n even parents ate REAL food there were no highly processed foods back in the Days the farming done by our grandparents made food we ate more nutritional but we live in a day n age where so many foods out there are fake foods... in order to have da best of health we need to adhere to advices like Dr Grundy ,Dr. Berg , Dr. Ekberg etc etc cos theres a big truth to wat they saying vs wat we are sold to buy at supermarkets n resturants....FYI just saying it's my opinion🤭🤭😁😉
I eat eggs every day. I had a break from eggs for 4-5 days and when i went to the gym i had lost 10% of my strength, it was a huge eye opener how important eggs are to maintain strength and energy. The more eggs and proteins i consume, the more strength progress i gain from gym work.
@@robbiddlecombe8392 Eggs give you more pump cuz they have the growth-factor TOR but again if you over-do it like 5-15eggs a day it can make polyps or anything that you may have grow, same is with protein powders or creatine or steroids. We are not designed to be big and lift weights every day 5-8h per day, up to 1h max light weights with slow resistance and maybe even next day off. Body and system is overloaded if you lift heavy, if you eat too much if you gain 20-30kg of weight, fake food and sugar..... Orion9K dont over-do with protein (up to 3eggs a day and max 100-150g of meat).
I totally understand what you're saying I work in construction and when I don't eat eggs for breakfast I don't have strength throughout the day And starving when it's time for dinner.
Same here, I eat mostly Eggs and Meat and at 65 I look 50 and no gray hair, not bald and I eat 6+ Duck eggs every day and Meat for lunch and dinner but in my 20's when I was a vegan I was always sick
@@TBI-Firefighter-451 Yes I have still got all my hair and the same colour .Eat some vegetables but not often and not many. I saw a video the other day that a lot of vegetables aren't good you Dr Ken Berry on RUclips is big on the Meat and eggs diet.
I'm 42 and been eating eggs my whole life, last ten plus years probably around 4 eggs per day im super fit and healthy and I eat lots of meat same with my 90 year old dad and he's thriving, he hates veggies and doesn't believe in them. My dad doesn't take a single pill. Animal fats and sunshine he says :)
100% true. Switching to carnivore / ketovore diet cured my anxiety attacks, and dumped down my tryglicerides to under 100 and my HDL is starting to sky rocket.
What I learned decades ago is Drs don’t address exceptional people, like athletes ..only average joes. You’re probably not average and I hope you don’t aim for that. Cheers
I eat 6 eggs 4 yokes each day for years. Also beef daily no issues and I have a good amount of muscle. I think eggs are one of the best things we can eat along with spinach and avocados.
@@Hippy2021 - I eat all of the above, almost every single day..I’m 44 & I’m stronger, faster, fitter & healthier than at any point in my life. It deeply saddens me that the vast majority of people can be sooo stupid as to not realise the connection between good food & good health
My grandmother ate eggs everyday for her entire life coming from a farm in Missouri. She also ate ham and beef and fish and chicken. What she didnt eat was sugar. She lived to 89, got pneumonia in a hospital after a fall and died within 24 hours. She was beautiful, still social, happy, no mental deterioration.. Im sorry Dr. Gundry, youre not speaking to the unknown factors that you nor anyone has answers to..and its dishonest and disingenuous and a complex subject as we are OMNIVORES.. correlation is not causation...
Ditto, my grandma died at 96. She also at veggies right form the garden. Cooked all meals from scratch and had a high power in her life. Also smoked like a chimney, lol.
It's not just eating eggs, it's the other insulin producing foods. If you avoid the wrong foods that are bad for you, I don't see a down side to eating eggs. Americans farmers back in the 50's ate the kind of breakfast that most Doctors would not recommend, Eggs, grits, sausage or bacon along with biscuits or toast. Nothing in this group could cause "Leaky Gut" except the biscuits. As far as I can recall, farmers in the 50's live very long productive lives, of course after breakfast they would go out and work their farms all day (which means burning calories), not laying around the house watching the view 😆😆
I started keto 5 months ago . Blood pressure from 140/90 to 120/70 , 246 lbs to 206 lbs . Energy high . Blood work much improved . I eat 5-8 eggs a day
yes you stopped eating krispy creames and orea cookies, useless sugar etc. now your eatin a caloric restricted diet, soon that will not work and youll sober up
I like dr. Grundy but now I am more and more confused from these advises ,, I eat 3-5 eggs every day and feel better than ever. My labs are excellent. My mother ate eggs and fatty meat every day all her life and she lived almost hundred years old ,very healthy ,never been sick.
Now I’m really confused. Years ago, eggs were considered high in cholesterol and told not to eat too much. Recent years, they say new research says eggs are perfectly healthy, even up to 4 eggs per day. Now this video says animal protein is not good. I give up. I’m no Vegan either, so it has to be animal protein for most of us.
Eat what makes you feel good! Eggs and meat healed me. All that cholesterol stuff is made up bs. Cholesterol is essential for out bodies, if we don’t eat it our body will make it.
I eat 2 scrambled eggs from my hens a day with a dash of unsweetened almond milk and a leafy green salad with a teaspoon of dijon mustard. Weigh 62kg at 5' 9'', 28 year old male. Perfect blood markers, regular exercise, no added sugars, low carb, no processed foods, and sport, in great shape. Keep eating those eggs! ❤
I eat 3 eggs every day. I'm 70. I don't eat toast or jam with it, just eggs and I'm motoring along quite fine thanks. I'm really beginning to question much of what you are saying.
@@svenjiandreson3614 Agreed! All I can add is I've been following Dr G. for years, and bought most of his products, they did really nothing for years! I found DR Berry last May & followed his advice & lost 40lbs since then.. about another 10lbs to go.. Very excited haven't felt this good for a long time! Their is so many stories like mine on his channel.. I still buy Dr. G's olive oil because it's great, but that's about it.. Yes intermittent fasting also helps a lot, I'm glad they both agree on that..and little to no sugar & lectins..But that's about it!
@@svenjiandreson3614 Don't expect any of them to present any science backed facts. They all either don't reference real studies at all or cherry pick only the ones that support their agenda.
I'm well into my sixties and was over weight, had high blood sugar and blood pressure, Since switching to a high protein keto diet I've lost the weight and my levels are all down. Enjoy your avocado and olive oil
Interesting. I did Keto during Covid pandemic to lose weight before ACL surgery. I lost 50 lbs (230-180) and I ate 1 -2 eggs, bacon and sausage every morning for a few months and more protein heavy lunch/dinner. At the start I had high cholesterol, high LDL and was pre-diabetic. After this diet, all of those numbers dropped to bottom of the "normal" or recommended ranges. My doc was pretty impressed. Maybe I didn't do more detailed test than the standard annual blood exam? I gained abt 10 back, but currently, I am on a mostly KETO diet, but a time restricted feeding diet along with supplements you recommend, Doc., along with NMN, Resveratrol and other items in the regimen from David Sinclair. I've lost 27lbs since starting the TRF diet, now back to my high school dating weight. Still little to no sugar or refined carbs or high-lectin veggies. My chol. is up a little as is LDL, but nothing to worry about.
Your cholesterol levels improved due to the weight loss, not due to the fact that what you ate was healthy. I would be very surprised if you could keep a healthy LDL of below 70mg/dl longer-term eating lots of saturated fat and cholesterol-containing foods.
That’s because this is horse 💩 I know a ton of people who lived into their. 90’s who ate eggs and fatty meats. Don’t worry, eat your eggs, they are very nutrient dense.
Well normally I listen to this guy. But, literally every other functional medicine doctor I've come across states that eggs are excellent to eat everyday. And I've been a nutritional consultant for well over 30 years. So, I'm going to keep on eating my four whole eggs per day and enjoy all the crazy health benefits. Keep in mind, this guy is right 90% of the time. But he's wrong in this video.
Agreed. In all probability he is likely incorrect with this one. I've seen the benefits of eating eggs everyday, not just myself but countless others and I think reducing protein past 40 is a crazy idea.
Tired of don't eat this, don't eat that. Did a medical exam last week. Went carnivore 6 months ago. Results are way better now than a year eating carbs, fruits and veggies. Now water, eggs , beef, pork, sheep, lamb, fish, cheese, salami, etc etc. Never felt better.
I used to be very unhealthy I weighed 220 pounds had a kidney transplant five years ago. I was on 8 different medications. I had leaky gut and arthritis. I went on clean keto only organic everything grass fed pasture raised. I started walking five times a week one hour each walk I have lost 85 pounds and all of my blood work the doctors say could not be better! They say my kidney could not be happier 😊!! My cholesterol my blood pressure my electrolytes… are all perfect. No more leaky gut! My kidney doctor my medical doctor all say keep doing what you’re doing. I also have come off 6 of the medications and I am feeling way better! I also do intermittent fasting
I can’t believe I wasted my time watching this, this is misinformation! If I ate that little bit of protein I would be so weak and wither away….I know there cuz there was a time I had less than 50g of protein a days….. I lost muscle and strength!!!
Eggs are unique and one of the best food sources. Matter of fact you’ll be hard pressed to get enough choline and phospholipids from anywhere else. Here’s the background: Gundry worked for Loma Linda, which is a 7th Day Adventist hospital. 7th Day is a strict vegetarian religion. They mix in healthcare and religion, and this is why Gundry is so against animal protein.
After advice from several other doctors, I've been eating approx 3-4 eggs every day for 2 months now including other non processed proteins. I've lost a lot of weight and never felt better! However your diet sounds healthy and good, but a hard act to follow over time, particulary when working out.
And Dr Berg just posted that he eats 4 eggs daily and focuses on animal protein. Interesting. Personally I do much much better on a high animal protein diet. My blood tests do not have any of these issues.
Yes . I'm going opposite of the trend. When I was younger only a fringe weirdo was " vegetarian' . These days young people are going Vegan , even more extreme and the other day I ate a hamburger for the first time in 20 years!
Exercise increases IGF-1, so according to the logic in this video older people should stop exercising then which obviously doesn't make sense as exercise is fairly generally admitted as being healthy. And the claim about 20-30 grams of protein being enough doesn't seem to pan out according to people that actually study the field who say optimal is something like 1.2 to 1.6g of protein per kg of body weight and older people need it especially to prevent muscle loss and becoming frail. Protein is essential to repairing things like the intestinal gut lining, that even the doctor making these videos talks about. So if one wants to be healthy, why would they choose to be deficient in the things that potentially protects them from things like leaky gut.
All what you say can be true in only one case which is the individual doesn't do sport regularly or lift weights. Your recipe is ok for people who walk their dogs and call it exercise.
@@Vladimirleninputin exactly... yet majority of people are NOT professional athletes or working very demanding physical jobs (oil rigs, mines etc).. the videos like this are for most people... not necessarily for the small groups who might require slightly larger portions... 🤔🤷♂️ yet , you will always find that one, triggered individual who feels cheated and regards him/herself as being sidelined/omitted 🤔🤦♂️

I eat 6 eggs every day for the last one year next to 24oz ribeye steak, coming from 5 years of plant base I never felt better and all my blood work is amazing. I had a nodule by my thyroid 19mm when I was in plant base , 8 months in carnivor is gone
Sometimes I think it’s better off to try and be healthy and not let the rest stress you out. The constant worrying about what you consume can lead to its own problems.
I'm 75, and cycle 100 miles, and walk 15 miles a week. And I eat 1 to three eggs everyday! I don't expect to live forever, but for now, my quality of life at 75, isn't bad.
among most of my grandparents who did not die with cancer ate eggs because usual start of day was eggs, milk, corn flakes. Except one who got cancer in 90s, none of the other died with cancer even in his own family among those who ate it. My vegetarian friend who I hardly even saw have dairy because she was very weight conscious died with bone cancer at 25. We are really being made to believe things that are pushing us away from root cause of the problems. If cancer was caused by meat or eggs, it should have impacted all of my family members who regularly ate it and none of them were lifting weights or going to gym. They were active and walked daily. But what I saw is they all mostly lived disciplined life. One of my grandfathers who lived very close to 100 in late 90 was an omnivore, but maintained healthy lifestyle. Body is indeed another name for disease and today's toxic environment is a further cause of it.
Our ancestors ate mainly animal protein and what they could scrape up like nut and berries there wasn’t broccoli and carrots kale growing everywhere with olive oil flowing down the mountains,
You're right! and they probably didn't completely remove lectins before eating the vegetation. I'm starting to wonder if Gundry is only book smart, but has no common sense.
Eggs used to give me a stomach ache and I had to eat it with something - I raise back yard chickens now and the eggs don’t make me sick at all and in fact I feel great eating them. I’m not a big meat eater but I have found that my home raised eggs fill me up and don’t make me sick like the store bought eggs AND the big thing - I KNOW what my chickens have been eating! I agree a low meat diet is great however most people Who are vegan or vegetarian DON’T know what to eat- so many live on pasta-potatoes and salads and don’t realize they are not eating to live the life they are seeking. They may be avoiding meats but they aren’t eating what their body needs. Thank you for helping us to realize HOW to eat healthy foods. It’s changed my life in such a short time
eating eggs everyday along with lifting every day for 2 years did something odd to me: 1.) Reversed my prediabetes. 2.) My LDL cholesterol dropped a lot. 3.) HDL raised Eggs has been a health boon. Also, dropped eating any breakfast cereals.
I love Dr Gundry. Both of my parents lived until the age of 94. They ate quality food including animal foods. My father was Italian and my my mother was Polish and they did not restrict calories. Having said that, they were married for 69 years and my dad was even injured in World War II. We did grow up on copious amounts of good olive oil, and prosciutto di Parma and Parmesan cheese.❤️😀
Thing is, at the age of 45 and 73 kg, increasing drastically protein intake to around 100-150 grams/day from animal source proteins (3 or 4 full eggs/day, around 100 g of whey proteins plus meat) got me the lowest blood glucose ever (both in the morning and also in terms of spikes after eating) while being able to eat more. As a plus, I avoid any type of carbs except the ones from low glycemic index fruits, I eat also a lot of fiber and greens and I do a lot of sport. Eating plants , making sport and eating low/normal amount of proteins was helpful, but blood glucose was still not as low as it is since I increased animal protein intake.
Excellent. I have been eating egg yolk and Sardines per day for the last 14 years. With this new recommendation of about 20 or more grams of protein per day ( about 3 eggs per day) I will exclusively eat about 6 egg yolks per day. According to a recent study featured on RUclips, egg yolk has a special protein compound (pea) that is super healthful.
I was pre diabetic three years ago. Stopped eating carbs. Started eating eggs, meat, and a little veg. Lost 80 lbs in 1 year. Feeling great at 68 yrs old. Walking every day. No more blood pressure meds.
I'm getting really confused here. Im not agree on your protein theory. I've been 90% carnivore for 2 year's now. I have lost 60 pound's and I never felt better. I also managed to get rid of my several autoimmune diseases. How do you explain this?
I love how we have doctors all with supposed credentials saying the exact opposite things. Give it a year and we will be back to a balanced diet again.
It makes you feel hopeless til you realize since "experts" can't agree, then we're not doing anything wrong. Using our best judgment and listening to our bodies is the way to go.
its so awful, every doc and youtuber says something different :( to be fair. DR gundry does not look like he is lean and is doing a lot of sports or weight liftung... for me muscular and jacked people are mostly healthy, they do something right... i think 20-35 g of protein is not enough for people who are very active or do sports..
This channel is talking nonsense like often before. Examine article with 134 references begins with: "Your optimal daily protein intake depends on your weight, goal, and level of physical activity: from 1.2-1.8 g/kg if you’re sedentary all the way up to 3.3 g/kg if you’re trying to minimize fat gain during a bulk. "
I go through 18 eggs per week and have for many years. I am currently 84 and can remember scrambling my own eggs at the age of 7 before school since my mom liked to sleep in. Feel fine, blood work is good. Only prescription drug I take is valsartan. Also I get my protein predominately from meat since it, like eggs, is complete protein. 50 to 100 protein grams per day. A supply of hard boiled eggs is my "snack" food. BMI 28. So far so good. (Where's that wood to knock on?)
If I am not mistaken. In other videos you advocate to replace carbs by proteins to prevent muscle loss. From what others explain, and from personal experience, eating meat with fat makes one feel full for a long time, thus reduces the total number of calories ingested daily. Add some vegetables and the production of IGF-1 will be limited… that’s basically the Mediterranean diet…
An egg has a PER of 100 All other protein is based off of that. An egg has the best amino acid profile of any food you can eat and also has ‘good fat’ in it. It’s not about the number of grams per day of protein .. It’s about the quality aka ‘amino acid profile’ of the protein one eats.
Dr G, you are making a huge mistake by telling people to reduce their protein and repeating this mistake again and again. This is a recepie for disaster, sarcopenia , osteoporosis ,increased gut permeability permeability and death! Your advice is dangerous specifically to our senior population. The alternative to protein is Carbs and you should eat a TON of to survive;and you know what happens: obesity, diabetes, heart disease etc. plus increases IGF 1 (listen to your own video about the causes of elevated IGF1). We have evolved around eating meat for our entire 300,000 years of evolution . As a functional medicine practitioner I extremely disagree with you .
I eat 1 organic pasteurize egg every morning with a half of avocado drizzled in extra virgin olive oil. With a cup of black organic coffee. No sugar of course.
Makes perfect sense to me. Everyone's body type and activity level varies. In one of his videos he says we all only need 2 and a half eggs in a day for protein.
Dr Joe Dispenza is saying “it’s not important what you eat, it’s important how (in what feeling) you eat” If you are a happy person, it’s the thing that makes you live long, not the food you eat. My 4 grandparents and my husband’s grandparents lived their 90s, and all ate lots of bread, cookies, cakes, pasta, honey, jam, yoghurt, cheese, eggs, potatoes and nightshades... I That’s why Dr Joe Dispenza is saying “it’s not important what you eat, it’s important how (in what feeling) you eat” If you are a happy person, it’s the thing that makes you live long, not the food you eat. If you are a happy person with yourself with a very few or no traumas in your subconscious mind, that makes you live long, not the food you eat...
I've heard of him. I'll look to listen to what he has to say. That sounds like the most sensible advice. All the health "experts" contradict each other, then a lot of their advice changes as time goes on. Dispenza seems more correct in reinforcing that health is holistic, and personal genetics and mental and physical health also play a part.
It's so frustrating as so many doctors are "experts" and there is research on both sides to confirm their bias. As a layman, I have no idea if eggs are healthy or not because of the fact studies say both yes and no.
Dr. Atkins did a lot of good work. Basically reducing carbs to bring blood sugar down. He slipped on ice and that killed him. He was the pioneer in reducing carbs and burning ketones. Do a video on burning ketones.
What an idiot to blame the late Atkins - he saved the life of thousands !! This Gundry is already so senile that he needs a paper to complete his talks filled with nonsense Eggs are one of the most nutritious food in this world and nobody should fear eggs! The man is dangerous!
I'm Understanding that People on the "Beef Only Carivor Diet",,, expirence "Less Inflammation and Greater Weight Loss" ! While Elderly men "NEED EXTRA PROTEIN" to Combat Muscle Loss, OK, 30 grams... You've Convinced me to cut Lectin Veggies. 69,,, and just lost 35 lb last 6 months...
Dr you seem to get most other recomandations right, except the intake of eggs, surprisingly countless people derived unimaginable benefits when taking an average of two eggs daily.
My grandparents lived to 106/109 years old. They smoke, drank hard liquor, stayed up playing majan. They were active, rode bicycles, did gardening and hand-washed just about everything. Nothing special in their diet. We used to have fresh crushed cucumbers cold dish spiced with sugar, soy sauce and garlic every day. They brew a pot of green tea and drank it the entire day until It became tasteless lol😂😂 they gone through wars and very content with whatever they owned. The entire family of three generations used to share just one egg in breakfast noodle. We didn’t have much of meat to eat but both me and my sister grew super tall like my dad and grandpa. They had full black hair until mid 80 yo. Reading, journaling, painting, traveling. They had a fantastic life in a free country.
Thanks for the advice and positive example! I believe watching what others have done to live long, happy healthy lives is probably the best place to get accurate advice.
I’m basically trying some of everything and seeing what works for my body. I do t think any meal plan is one size fits all. I do have leaky get and get inflamed with certain food. Even just making sure I walk 10k steps a day, changes my entire body. Sunlight and exercise can help a lot. Also, working on mental health. I didn’t start to have health issues until I had extreme stress from neighbors. Doctors want to put everything on age, but my grandmother poured butter on her eggs and ate with lard a lot. She loved to be 94. But she was very active. It’s so hard because there are so many conflicting messages about food.
I ate a plant based diet supplemented with small amounts of animal protein. I did amateur bicycle racing, lifted weights, and was always tired and run down. Had all the trace vitamins/minerals/electrolytes etc. Did this for decades and read all the books, thought I was doing everything right. Met a gymnast and a couple of people who were really into competitive athletics. A whole new world of nutrition and supplementation opened up. When I changed my diet slightly to include about .7gm protein/lb. of Lean body wt. my body wt. dropped, no more tiredness, my brain fog disappeared, interest in life returned like I was 18 again, put on more muscle, etc. I now follow the money to check out all these different diets that come and go and find the reason behind them. It should be very clear by now, that there should be consensus among most researchers on what a human diet is .... and there kind of is that...within groups of people, like the different athletes, different societies around the world, and so forth. But how much of these so called perfect diets are promoted for desk riders who don't do any exercise, athletes who use have tremendous calorie needs like pro bicycle racers and strongmen, runners, cross fitters, heavy construction workers, sedentary doctors who are over-fat, and their female front office workers who are well-rounded out, .......The whole thing is insane. Follow the money, find out the nutrition of the people who do what you want to do, find out the research behind it, look at the societies where these diets come from. In the end, there are different nutritional needs for people who do different things. If your whole goal in life is to live longer and nothing else, then your life will be hell. My Dad lived to 102, stopped teaching school, at 88, had a beer every day, and the full German type diet until a few years before death. How many people are going to spend their lives in hell, trying to live as long as possible instead of becoming the best they can be, with energy and vitality and free of disease as they can possibly be......
Researchers like Alan Aragon or Brad Schoenfeld, who specialize in fitness and muscle hypertrophy, come up with way, WAY higher recommendations than 20-30 grams of protein a day, after they scooped up dozens of studies together. The cancer building potential of IGF-1 (which increases with animal protein full of leucine) depends a lot of your lifestyle. It's heavily affected by how much exercise you do, how glycogen depleted your muscles are, how insulin sensitive they are, how much repair they need etc. IGF-1 doesn't just get distributed evenly throughout the body. It can have more affection for receptors in the muscles, if you actually use them for moderate to heavy exercise. This video sheds too much of a simplistic view on the mechanics on these 'cancer building hormones' in my view.
Every person is different. My mother ate roasts, gravies, eggs and bacon and loved her sweets. She passed away at 94 from a respiratory illness. So, how many eggs can you eat each day safely? I like eggs but I am afraid of the cholesterol. Can olive oil help reduce the cholesterol level in eggs? Thanks
Dr Gundry must be very rich to go to Europe all the time. Snobby rich people can afford hand crafted olive oil. These videos don't apply to us poor people...
"As we get older there is nothing in us we want to grow." ... But that's not true. You should grow muscles as you get older and get stronger over time.
Dr Gundry, are you talking about just animal protein or are you talking about all protein? I do not eat meat very often, maybe once a month but I do eat yogurt almost daily. So are you saying that if I eat a cup of yogurt daily I should not be eating an egg a day? I like to hard boil eggs to eat when I feel I need a boost, better than eating sugar or bread products. Please explain. Thank you.
I have been eating 3-6 eggs on most days for about 40 years, now in my 60's & doing well, no fat, and I have the blood pressure of an olympic athlete, even though I am not an athlete & only do minimal exercise.

The good side effect is that you probably ate less meat this way.

Animal protein has been my life saver. Your plan doesn't work for everyone. Are they cooking the animal protein in seed oil for these cancer studies you use, I'm not convinced. My grandparents lived into their late 90s and they ate eggs and bacon every single day, butter, beef, chicken from their yard and lard. They didn't eat the junk in our grocery store grandma died from a hemorrhage and grandpa died from parkinson's at 99 and he didn't get it until he was 94
thats inconvenient for the message, isnt it? my grandparents were very similar..
My grandmother lived to 93 and ate a fried egg and buttered toast for breakfast every day since she was a child. She ate tv dinners for supper. She died when the hospital overdosed her on pain meds when she had a fractured hip.
Dr Berg eats 4 eggs per day. He looks way healthier than this guy
Berg is a lot younger than Gundry. I think Gundry looks terrific for his age.

It's not just eating eggs, it's the other insulin producing foods. If you avoid the wrong foods that are bad for you, I don't see a down side to eating eggs. Americans farmers back in the 50's ate the kind of breakfast that most Doctors would not recommend, Eggs, grits, sausage or bacon along with biscuits or toast. Nothing in this group could cause "Leaky Gut" except the biscuits. As far as I can recall, farmers in the 50's live very long productive lives, of course after breakfast they would go out and work their farms all day (which means burning calories), not laying around the house watching the view 😆😆

Emma Morano lived to 117 years of age ,for most of her life she ate 3 raw eggs per day .
Anecdotal
I've eaten eggs and meat every day for years and I don't plan to stop.
I like dr. Grundy but now I am more and more confused from these advises ,, I eat 3-5 eggs every day and feel better than ever. My labs are excellent. My mother ate eggs and fatty meat every day all her life and she lived almost hundred years old ,very healthy ,never been sick.
Now I’m really confused. Years ago, eggs were considered high in cholesterol and told not to eat too much. Recent years, they say new research says eggs are perfectly healthy, even up to 4 eggs per day. Now this video says animal protein is not good. I give up. I’m no Vegan either, so it has to be animal protein for most of us.
Eat what makes you feel good! Eggs and meat healed me. All that cholesterol stuff is made up bs. Cholesterol is essential for out bodies, if we don’t eat it our body will make it.
Just reduce protein by a third
Every 10 years they change the storyline

Interesting. I did Keto during Covid pandemic to lose weight before ACL surgery. I lost 50 lbs (230-180) and I ate 1 -2 eggs, bacon and sausage every morning for a few months and more protein heavy lunch/dinner. At the start I had high cholesterol, high LDL and was pre-diabetic. After this diet, all of those numbers dropped to bottom of the "normal" or recommended ranges. My doc was pretty impressed. Maybe I didn't do more detailed test than the standard annual blood exam? I gained abt 10 back, but currently, I am on a mostly KETO diet, but a time restricted feeding diet along with supplements you recommend, Doc., along with NMN, Resveratrol and other items in the regimen from David Sinclair. I've lost 27lbs since starting the TRF diet, now back to my high school dating weight. Still little to no sugar or refined carbs or high-lectin veggies. My chol. is up a little as is LDL, but nothing to worry about.
Your cholesterol levels improved due to the weight loss, not due to the fact that what you ate was healthy. I would be very surprised if you could keep a healthy LDL of below 70mg/dl longer-term eating lots of saturated fat and cholesterol-containing foods.
Losing weight does not equal good health, but being overweight is almost always unhealthy.
Good on you keep up your dietary lifestyle recipies you should feel very proud of yourself

Keep in mind, this guy is right 90% of the time. But he's wrong in this video.
Agreed. In all probability he is likely incorrect with this one. I've seen the benefits of eating eggs everyday, not just myself but countless others and I think reducing protein past 40 is a crazy idea.

Tired of don't eat this, don't eat that. Did a medical exam last week. Went carnivore 6 months ago. Results are way better now than a year eating carbs, fruits and veggies.
Now water, eggs , beef, pork, sheep, lamb, fish, cheese, salami, etc etc. Never felt better.
Everyday egg eater, for over a year now, anywhere from three to a dozen. No cancer yet.
I used to be very unhealthy I weighed 220 pounds had a kidney transplant five years ago. I was on 8 different medications. I had leaky gut and arthritis. I went on clean keto only organic everything grass fed pasture raised. I started walking five times a week one hour each walk I have lost 85 pounds and all of my blood work the doctors say could not be better! They say my kidney could not be happier 😊!! My cholesterol my blood pressure my electrolytes… are all perfect. No more leaky gut! My kidney doctor my medical doctor all say keep doing what you’re doing. I also have come off 6 of the medications and I am feeling way better! I also do intermittent fasting
I can’t believe I wasted my time watching this, this is misinformation! If I ate that little bit of protein I would be so weak and wither away….I know there cuz there was a time I had less than 50g of protein a days….. I lost muscle and strength!!!
Eggs are unique and one of the best food sources. Matter of fact you’ll be hard pressed to get enough choline and phospholipids from anywhere else.
Here’s the background:
Gundry worked for Loma Linda, which is a 7th Day Adventist hospital. 7th Day is a strict vegetarian religion. They mix in healthcare and religion, and this is why Gundry is so against animal protein.
Thanks, that makes sense. Dr Berg is a devout Scientologist, he has 11m followers.

@@Jg-ej8zs He even looks like an Evangelist right? Hes just the Church nutritionist.

After advice from several other doctors, I've been eating approx 3-4 eggs every day for 2 months now including other non processed proteins. I've lost a lot of weight and never felt better! However your diet
sounds healthy and good, but a hard act to follow over time, particulary when working out.
And Dr Berg just posted that he eats 4 eggs daily and focuses on animal protein. Interesting. Personally I do much much better on a high animal protein diet. My blood tests do not have any of these issues.

I have been a vegetarian since '89 but not sure about going back to meat
Yes . I'm going opposite of the trend. When I was younger only a fringe weirdo was " vegetarian' . These days young people are going Vegan , even more extreme and the other day I ate a hamburger for the first time in 20 years!
Exercise increases IGF-1, so according to the logic in this video older people should stop exercising then which obviously doesn't make sense as exercise is fairly generally admitted as being healthy. And the claim about 20-30 grams of protein being enough doesn't seem to pan out according to people that actually study the field who say optimal is something like 1.2 to 1.6g of protein per kg of body weight and older people need it especially to prevent muscle loss and becoming frail. Protein is essential to repairing things like the intestinal gut lining, that even the doctor making these videos talks about. So if one wants to be healthy, why would they choose to be deficient in the things that potentially protects them from things like leaky gut.
True words 👍
All what you say can be true in only one case which is the individual doesn't do sport regularly or lift weights. Your recipe is ok for people who walk their dogs and call it exercise.
Exactly - One size doesn't fit all.

Eggs are a MIRACLE food there is no debating it.
Sometimes I think it’s better off to try and be healthy and not let the rest stress you out. The constant worrying about what you consume can lead to its own problems.
AMEN!!
I'm 75, and cycle 100 miles, and walk 15 miles a week.
And I eat 1 to three eggs everyday!
I don't expect to live forever, but for now, my quality of life at 75, isn't bad.
among most of my grandparents who did not die with cancer ate eggs because usual start of day was eggs, milk, corn flakes. Except one who got cancer in 90s, none of the other died with cancer even in his own family among those who ate it. My vegetarian friend who I hardly even saw have dairy because she was very weight conscious died with bone cancer at 25. We are really being made to believe things that are pushing us away from root cause of the problems.
If cancer was caused by meat or eggs, it should have impacted all of my family members who regularly ate it and none of them were lifting weights or going to gym. They were active and walked daily. But what I saw is they all mostly lived disciplined life.
One of my grandfathers who lived very close to 100 in late 90 was an omnivore, but maintained healthy lifestyle.
Body is indeed another name for disease and today's toxic environment is a further cause of it.
Agreed!
Our ancestors ate mainly animal protein and what they could scrape up like nut and berries there wasn’t broccoli and carrots kale growing everywhere with olive oil flowing down the mountains,
😅 Perfect!
You're right! and they probably didn't completely remove lectins before eating the vegetation. I'm starting to wonder if Gundry is only book smart, but has no common sense.
Eggs used to give me a stomach ache and I had to eat it with something - I raise back yard chickens now and the eggs don’t make me sick at all and in fact I feel great eating them. I’m not a big meat eater but I have found that my home raised eggs fill me up and don’t make me sick like the store bought eggs AND the big thing - I KNOW what my chickens have been eating! I agree a low meat diet is great however most people
Who are vegan or vegetarian DON’T know what to eat- so many live on pasta-potatoes and salads and don’t realize they are not eating to live the life they are seeking. They may be avoiding meats but they aren’t eating what their body needs. Thank you for helping us to realize HOW to eat healthy foods. It’s changed my life in such a short time
Dude it looks like most of the comments here do not support what you say about eggs.
Respectfully Dr Gundry, gram for gram, egg yolks contain more total protein than egg whites do. Be well doctor. Thank you for all your efforts.
eating eggs everyday along with lifting every day for 2 years did something odd to me:
1.) Reversed my prediabetes.
2.) My LDL cholesterol dropped a lot.
3.) HDL raised
Eggs has been a health boon. Also, dropped eating any breakfast cereals.
I love Dr Gundry. Both of my parents lived until the age of 94. They ate quality food including animal foods. My father was Italian and my my mother was Polish and they did not restrict calories. Having said that, they were married for 69 years and my dad was even injured in World War II. We did grow up on copious amounts of good olive oil, and prosciutto di Parma and Parmesan cheese.❤️😀
Thing is, at the age of 45 and 73 kg, increasing drastically protein intake to around 100-150 grams/day from animal source proteins (3 or 4 full eggs/day, around 100 g of whey proteins plus meat) got me the lowest blood glucose ever (both in the morning and also in terms of spikes after eating) while being able to eat more. As a plus, I avoid any type of carbs except the ones from low glycemic index fruits, I eat also a lot of fiber and greens and I do a lot of sport. Eating plants , making sport and eating low/normal amount of proteins was helpful, but blood glucose was still not as low as it is since I increased animal protein intake.
Excellent. I have been eating egg yolk and Sardines per day for the last 14 years. With this new recommendation of about 20 or more grams of protein per day ( about 3 eggs per day) I will exclusively eat about 6 egg yolks per day. According to a recent study featured on RUclips, egg yolk has a special protein compound (pea) that is super healthful.
I have hens, I have eaten eggs everyday for my whole life...ate 6 yesterday
And are you still alive?
I was pre diabetic three years ago. Stopped eating carbs. Started eating eggs, meat, and a little veg. Lost 80 lbs in 1 year. Feeling great at 68 yrs old. Walking every day. No more blood pressure meds.
I'm getting really confused here. Im not agree on your protein theory. I've been 90% carnivore for 2 year's now. I have lost 60 pound's and I never felt better. I also managed to get rid of my several autoimmune diseases. How do you explain this?
I love how we have doctors all with supposed credentials saying the exact opposite things. Give it a year and we will be back to a balanced diet again.
It makes you feel hopeless til you realize since "experts" can't agree, then we're not doing anything wrong. Using our best judgment and listening to our bodies is the way to go.
its so awful, every doc and youtuber says something different :(
to be fair. DR gundry does not look like he is lean and is doing a lot of sports or weight liftung... for me muscular and jacked people are mostly healthy, they do something right... i think 20-35 g of protein is not enough for people who are very active or do sports..
This channel is talking nonsense like often before. Examine article with 134 references begins with: "Your optimal daily protein intake depends on your weight, goal, and level of physical activity: from 1.2-1.8 g/kg if you’re sedentary all the way up to 3.3 g/kg if you’re trying to minimize fat gain during a bulk. "
I go through 18 eggs per week and have for many years. I am currently 84 and can remember scrambling my own eggs at the age of 7 before school since my mom liked to sleep in. Feel fine, blood work is good. Only prescription drug I take is valsartan. Also I get my protein predominately from meat since it, like eggs, is complete protein. 50 to 100 protein grams per day. A supply of hard boiled eggs is my "snack" food. BMI 28. So far so good. (Where's that wood to knock on?)
If I am not mistaken. In other videos you advocate to replace carbs by proteins to prevent muscle loss. From what others explain, and from personal experience, eating meat with fat makes one feel full for a long time, thus reduces the total number of calories ingested daily. Add some vegetables and the production of IGF-1 will be limited… that’s basically the Mediterranean diet…
An egg has a PER of 100
All other protein is based off of that.
An egg has the best amino acid profile of any food you can eat
and also has ‘good fat’ in it.
It’s not about the number of grams per day of protein ..
It’s about the quality aka ‘amino acid profile’ of the protein one eats.
Dr G, you are making a huge mistake
by telling people to reduce their protein and repeating this mistake again and again. This is a recepie for disaster, sarcopenia , osteoporosis ,increased gut permeability permeability and death!
Your advice is dangerous specifically to our senior population.
The alternative to protein is Carbs and you should eat a TON of to survive;and you know what happens: obesity, diabetes, heart disease etc. plus increases IGF 1 (listen to your own video about the causes of elevated IGF1). We have evolved around eating meat for our entire 300,000 years of evolution . As a functional medicine practitioner I extremely disagree with you .
Eggs are bad for us??? That's insane.
No more Gundry for me. 👎🏻
Been eating eggs for breakfast since 30+ years, everything is good
I’ll tell my 95 year old mother in law who’s eaten eggs everyday since she was 3 years of age
I work out a lot and i feel like i dont recover well if i dont eat protein like 160-200g a day.
I eat 1 organic pasteurize egg every morning with a half of avocado drizzled in extra virgin olive oil. With a cup of black organic coffee. No sugar of course.
Does it matter if you’re exercising or not? If you’re active, you can eat more protein.
Makes perfect sense to me. Everyone's body type and activity level varies. In one of his videos he says we all only need 2 and a half eggs in a day for protein.
"You don't need protein to build muscle"??? That's like saying you don't need water to stay hydrated
Dr Joe Dispenza is saying “it’s not important what you eat, it’s important how (in what feeling) you eat” If you are a happy person, it’s the thing that makes you live long, not the food you eat. My 4 grandparents and my husband’s grandparents lived their 90s, and all ate lots of bread, cookies, cakes, pasta, honey, jam, yoghurt, cheese, eggs, potatoes and nightshades... I That’s why Dr Joe Dispenza is saying “it’s not important what you eat, it’s important how (in what feeling) you eat” If you are a happy person, it’s the thing that makes you live long, not the food you eat. If you are a happy person with yourself with a very few or no traumas in your subconscious mind, that makes you live long, not the food you eat...
I've heard of him. I'll look to listen to what he has to say. That sounds like the most sensible advice. All the health "experts" contradict each other, then a lot of their advice changes as time goes on. Dispenza seems more correct in reinforcing that health is holistic, and personal genetics and mental and physical health also play a part.
It's so frustrating as so many doctors are "experts" and there is research on both sides to confirm their bias. As a layman, I have no idea if eggs are healthy or not because of the fact studies say both yes and no.
Doesn’t the egg white help with nutrient absorption from the yolk? Thank you Dr. Gundry.
Yes, I believe so.
Doc, can you provide any evidences to support what you said? Thank you!

My grandparents lived to 106/109 years old. They smoke, drank hard liquor, stayed up playing majan. They were active, rode bicycles, did gardening and hand-washed just about everything. Nothing special in their diet. We used to have fresh crushed cucumbers cold dish spiced with sugar, soy sauce and garlic every day. They brew a pot of green tea and drank it the entire day until It became tasteless lol😂😂 they gone through wars and very content with whatever they owned. The entire family of three generations used to share just one egg in breakfast noodle. We didn’t have much of meat to eat but both me and my sister grew super tall like my dad and grandpa. They had full black hair until mid 80 yo. Reading, journaling, painting, traveling. They had a fantastic life in a free country.
Thanks for the advice and positive example! I believe watching what others have done to live long, happy healthy lives is probably the best place to get accurate advice.
I’m basically trying some of everything and seeing what works for my body. I do t think any meal plan is one size fits all. I do have leaky get and get inflamed with certain food. Even just making sure I walk 10k steps a day, changes my entire body. Sunlight and exercise can help a lot. Also, working on mental health. I didn’t start to have health issues until I had extreme stress from neighbors. Doctors want to put everything on age, but my grandmother poured butter on her eggs and ate with lard a lot. She loved to be 94. But she was very active. It’s so hard because there are so many conflicting messages about food.
I ate a plant based diet supplemented with small amounts of animal protein. I did amateur bicycle racing, lifted weights, and was always tired and run down. Had all the trace vitamins/minerals/electrolytes etc. Did this for decades and read all the books, thought I was doing everything right.
Met a gymnast and a couple of people who were really into competitive athletics. A whole new world of nutrition and supplementation opened up.
When I changed my diet slightly to include about .7gm protein/lb. of Lean body wt. my body wt. dropped, no more tiredness, my brain fog disappeared, interest in life returned like I was 18 again, put on more muscle, etc.
I now follow the money to check out all these different diets that come and go and find the reason behind them. It should be very clear by now, that there should be consensus among most researchers on what a human diet is .... and there kind of is that...within groups of people, like the different athletes, different societies around the world, and so forth.
But how much of these so called perfect diets are promoted for desk riders who don't do any exercise, athletes who use have tremendous calorie needs like pro bicycle racers and strongmen, runners, cross fitters, heavy construction workers, sedentary doctors who are over-fat, and their female front office workers who are well-rounded out, .......The whole thing is insane.
Follow the money, find out the nutrition of the people who do what you want to do, find out the research behind it, look at the societies where these diets come from.
In the end, there are different nutritional needs for people who do different things.
If your whole goal in life is to live longer and nothing else, then your life will be hell.
My Dad lived to 102, stopped teaching school, at 88, had a beer every day, and the full German type diet until a few years before death. How many people are going to spend their lives in hell, trying to live as long as possible instead of becoming the best they can be, with energy and vitality and free of disease as they can possibly be......
Yiu are out of your mind I eat eggs every day for years I am on better shape than when I was in my 20
Rubbish about the protein!
When I restricted my protein, I fell sick
Researchers like Alan Aragon or Brad Schoenfeld, who specialize in fitness and muscle hypertrophy, come up with way, WAY higher recommendations than 20-30 grams of protein a day, after they scooped up dozens of studies together. The cancer building potential of IGF-1 (which increases with animal protein full of leucine) depends a lot of your lifestyle. It's heavily affected by how much exercise you do, how glycogen depleted your muscles are, how insulin sensitive they are, how much repair they need etc. IGF-1 doesn't just get distributed evenly throughout the body. It can have more affection for receptors in the muscles, if you actually use them for moderate to heavy exercise. This video sheds too much of a simplistic view on the mechanics on these 'cancer building hormones' in my view.
Exactly.
Every person is different. My mother ate roasts, gravies, eggs and bacon and loved her sweets. She passed away at 94 from a respiratory illness. So, how many eggs can you eat each day safely? I like eggs but I am afraid of the cholesterol. Can olive oil help reduce the cholesterol level in eggs? Thanks
I gave up sugar for 5 years and felt terrible! Now, I eat a dozen glazed donuts every day with my morning beers and I feel great
😮
Damn bro🔥 drink lots of water at least👍🏻
Greetings from Poland from Beti. I love your doctor and thank you for sharing your knowledge. I need it very much .
Dr Gundry must be very rich to go to Europe all the time. Snobby rich people can afford hand crafted olive oil. These videos don't apply to us poor people...
It is more difficult
There is cheaper high quality Morrocan extra virgin olive oil called Terra Delyssa. It's legit, 13 dollars a liter at most stores.
Not his fault ur poor
"As we get older there is nothing in us we want to grow." ... But that's not true. You should grow muscles as you get older and get stronger over time.
Vegan for 6 years, it was the worse years of my live .. Now abdfor four years I'm in keto diet and eat more than three eggs a day ,I'm healty😅😅😅
5 whole eggs with two cups of berries and a dash of maple syrup every morning for years. No problems on my bloodwork whatsoever
I sadly eat peanuts every day. I think about my arms going numb when I sleep. Maybe I'm having cardiac failure from arterial sclerosis like you say!
Some people are intolerant to legumes. Yours might be a sign of intolerance. I suggest you read The Wahls Protocol.
Dr Gundry, are you talking about just animal protein or are you talking about all protein? I do not eat meat very often, maybe once a month but I do eat yogurt almost daily. So are you saying that if I eat a cup of yogurt daily I should not be eating an egg a day? I like to hard boil eggs to eat when I feel I need a boost, better than eating sugar or bread products. Please explain. Thank you.
I think everyones body is different.... some people do great on a Keto diet while others do not.
I have been eating 3-6 eggs on most days for about 40 years, now in my 60's & doing well, no fat, and I have the blood pressure of an olympic athlete, even though I am not an athlete & only do minimal exercise.
