  • The pitfalls of eating a strict ketogenic diet, and how we can gain the benefits of manufacturing ketones by simply compressing our eating window.

  • The complex role of polyphenols on our gut health, which influences everything from mitochondrial uncoupling, vascular flexibility, and LDL oxidation.

  • Dr. Gundry’s favorite polyphenol and post-biotic-rich foods, and why he is such a big fan of adding vinegar to your diet.
