Publisher's Summary
In this groundbreaking addition to his New York Times bestselling Plant Paradox series, Steven R.Gundry, MD offers a definitive guide to the gut biome and its control over its home—us!—revealing the unimaginably complex and intelligent ecosystem controlling our health and teaching us how to heal our guts to prevent and reverse every type of disease.
We may believe that we are the masters of our fates, but in reality, we are at the mercy of hundreds of trillions of single-celled organisms that exert control over every aspect of how our minds and bodies function. These are the diverse species of microbes living in our guts, mouths, and skin that work together synergistically to communicate with each other and with every system in our bodies. You are your microbiome’s home, and it wants to take care of you, but first you have to protect it.
In Gut Check, Dr. Steven Gundry reveals the emerging science proving that Hippocrates was right—all disease begins in the gut. When our microbiomes are out of balance, it affects our immune systems, our hormone levels, our mental health, our longevity, and our risk of developing autoimmunity, heart, and neurodegenerative disease, as well as arthritis, diabetes, and cancer. Yet, not all hope is lost: disease can also be healed in the gut if we choose to treat our microbes right. In Gut Check, Dr. Gundry shows us how.
In his warm, authoritative voice, Dr. Gundry provides us with the keys to unlocking our gut health, allowing our bodies, and its microbiome, to function at their highest potential. Sharing shocking new research as well as a detailed eating plan with food lists and recipes to heal and rebalance the microbiome, Gut Check provides the cutting-edge information and tools we need to repair our health and reclaim our lives.

Lectin free plus MCTs
A quite highly prescriptive eating routine backed by historical food preparation processes aimed at reducing gut irritants & feeding good gut bacterial with the aim of improving mitochondria to produce energy in the body.
Best practice us to destroy lectins in food by using a pressure cooking or by natural fermentation which destroys lectins and, since all disease begins in the gut, removing damaging lectins & adding fibre & resistant starches & reducing toxins, like fructose, & irritants to your diet should allow your body to be healthier & function better.
Each book Dr Gundry writes builds on his clinical experiences to further refine his advice. The price of good health is eternal vigilance❗

The best book to start with
I’ve read or listen to approximately 15 books on Health and longevity in the last 12 months and when it comes to the confusion over what to do and how to do it reading this book 1st will give you a lot of clarity as most health issues start from the gut. I like the fact that as more scientific evidence becomes available Steven Gundry is able to adapt and move with the times.

Gut and life changing
So much information I needed to buy the book and a highlighter to take in all the information to adapt it to my life. It’s a book I’ll listen to multiple times to take it all in.

Gut bio IS the new silver bullet to good health
By the time you reach the end of this book you might be pondering what the future of visits to your doctor will look like. I’d hazard a guess those blood tests might be replaced with poop tests!

Good Info - But Not Accessible.
This is a book that contains some very good information that is no doubt very helpful to know, but my goodness is that information buried deep under the jargon and biology lesson. My take on this book is that if you want to know all the biological processes and are prepared to wade through a LOT of that before you get to the practical stuff - you will probably enjoy this.
However if you are after practical advice that you can action - there is so much non-essential guff to plough through. I have this on Audible so had to listen to it all because there isn't really anywhere you can easily access to tell you where the useful bits are. This book is probably better in a Kindle or hardcopy version so you can more easily skip the biology lessons.
It was honestly a pretty hard slog. Which is sad because generally I agree with the author on the importance of gut health and even try and eat a relatively microbiome friendly diet - it is a subject I like and am interested in. And I still struggled to enjoy this book.
If I was the author I would reformat the whole thing to have the practical information at the beginning - and then have a Part 2 where he explains all the biology for those who care about that.
TLDR: Good info, but really hard to read/listen to

Avoid lectin and fructose at all costs 😀
The continual (over) use of technical jargon served to pad the book and confuse the reader. The underlying argument was interesting and a number of eat vs don’t eat food lists were useful.
