A Letter From Dr. Steven Gundry

Hello, my name is Dr. Steven Gundry – founder of Gundry MD. If you’re interested in getting help feeling more vital energy, getting your body into shape, and giving yourself the best possible chance at a long and happy life… I’d like to assure you: You are in the right place.

I founded Gundry MD with one mission: To help dramatically improve human health, happiness, and longevity through my unique vision of diet and nutrition.

I believe I’ve discovered some unconventional truths about human nutrition. The Gundry MD philosophy is a radical departure from the traditional dietary “wisdom” which has failed so many Americans over the past few decades.

My research may offer a breakthrough for those of you who have struggled for years with your energy levels, your body, and your health. If you’ve tried everything and nothing has worked… I’d like to offer you HOPE.

For over thirty years, I have been one of the world’s pre-eminent experts in heart surgery. My experiences took me to new frontiers of medical science. I was a driving force behind major breakthroughs in medical technology and surgical procedures – breakthroughs that revolutionized the way doctors save lives.

But back in 2001, while I was Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Loma Linda University, I was asked to treat a chronically ill, overweight patient. This man was considered a hopeless case, someone who couldn’t be helped even by surgery. But “hopeless cases” have been a specialty of mine over the years, and I was willing to take on this man’s challenge when no one else would.

I discovered that the patient had actually reversed his heart-threatening symptoms – symptoms he was told were inoperable – with a combination of natural, dietary nutrients. This led me to pursue further research of my own. The conclusions I made were unmistakable… and they led directly to the foundation of Gundry MD.

One of the keys to strong, sustainable health lives in all of us… in the form of beneficial microbes. These “good bacteria” are in danger of dying out, due to dietary and environmental issues that overload our systems with threatening “bad” microbes. Once you begin taking care of your “good” microbes – or, as I like to call them, “your gut buddies” – you can begin an incredible transformation.

And I know… because it worked for me.

When I first met this “lost cause” patient, I was seriously overweight myself. I had high blood pressure, “bad” cholesterol, all the warning signs for oncoming diabetes and heart disease. I worked out regularly and tried to watch my diet, but I was still struggling with my weight. But by following the principles of my new research – a study I am now calling “Holobiotics” – I lost 70 pounds in just one year.

The path to Gundry MD…

This is why, in 2002, I left my former position at California’s Loma Linda University Medical Center, and founded The Center for Restorative Medicine. I have spent the last 14 years studying the human microbiome – and developing the principles of Holobiotics that have since changed the lives of countless men and women.

My center – based in Palm Springs, CA – is devoted to teaching patients how to live healthier lives through diet and lifestyle choices. My ultimate vision is to help them avoid the kind of surgeries I performed for over three decades.

And the rest of the medical world is still catching up.

It took me over 30 years of working with the toughest cases to make these new discoveries. I created Dr Gundry MD to share them with you.

You see, while I’m able to serve a few hundred patients a year at my medical centers, I know my reach is limited. In fact, I currently have a 6-month waiting list for those who wish to see me in Palm Springs.

While I love seeing patients, I knew I could also help more people by providing small, easy steps that anyone could take to improve their health at home. You don’t have to wait even one week to take advantage ofthese simple discoveries that have been life-changing for many others. And if you’d like to see what others thought, read all Gundry MD reviews.

With that said, welcome to Gundry MD! I’m honored to have you here, and it is my pleasure to help guide you toward a healthier, fitter, and happier future.

Steven Gundry, MD
