Ethan Suplee is thrilled to sit down with Dr. Stephen Gundry on the American Glutton Podcast to explore the alarming decline in America’s health since the 1970s. Together, they dive into the gut microbiome’s crucial role in regulating hunger and supporting weight loss, examining how antibiotics, glyphosate, and processed foods have severely disrupted this delicate system. Dr. Gundry offers practical solutions—such as incorporating prebiotic fiber and fermented foods—to help restore balance. The conversation also tackles the downsides of quick-fix drugs like Ozempic. This eye-opening episode challenges conventional health wisdom and offers real hope for sustainable change.
