About this episode
Dr. Steven Gundry takes his scalpel to four of the most stubborn weight loss myths in modern nutrition—the ones that have you white-knuckling through miserable diets while the scale refuses to budge.
Questions answered in this episode:
- Does eating fat actually make you gain weight?
- Why doesn't counting calories work for weight loss?
- Can you lose weight with exercise alone?
- Is weight gain really about willpower and discipline?
- What role do gut bacteria play in weight loss?
- Why do most diets fail in the long run?
- How does gut health affect your metabolism and cravings?
- Is cottage cheese a weight loss food?
Tune in to learn why real, lasting weight loss is a "side effect" of ending the war in your gut—and why the number on the scale is your gut buddies' business, not your calorie counter's.
