About this listen
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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 130
Most of us have heard of gluten - a protein found in wheat that causes widespread inflammation in the body. Americans spend billions of dollars on gluten-free diets in an effort to protect their health. But what if we’ve been missing the root of the problem? In The Plant Paradox, renowned cardiologist Dr. Steven Gundry reveals that gluten is just one variety of a common, and highly toxic, plant-based protein called lectin.

Gut: The Inside Story is an entertaining, informative tour of the digestive system from the moment we raise a tasty morsel to our lips until the moment our body surrenders the remnants to the toilet bowl. No topic is too lowly for the author's wonder and admiration, from the careful choreography of breaking wind to the precise internal communication required for a cleansing vomit.

The benefits of restrictive diets like paleo and keto have been touted for more than a decade, but as renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, or "Dr. B", illuminates in this groundbreaking audiobook, the explosion of studies on the microbiome makes it abundantly clear that elimination diets are in fact hazardous to our health. What studies clearly now show - and what Dr. B preaches with his patients - is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism, balancing our hormones, and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases.

Our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions—and feel incredible today—is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function—the most important and least understood factor in our overall health. As Dr. Casey Means explains in this book, nearly every health problem we face can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy. To live free from frustrating symptoms and life-threatening disease, we need our cells to be optimally powered so that they can create “good energy,” the essential fuel that impacts every aspect of our wellbeing.

Drawing on cutting-edge science and her own pioneering research, biochemist Jessie Inchauspé offers ten simple, surprising hacks to help you balance your glucose levels and reverse your symptoms—without going on a diet or giving up the foods you love.

All you need to know to fix your health
I have bought and listened to all of Dr. Gundry's books from Audible. I listen to them while out walking each morning. This one is just an extension of his previous books with more up-to-date information and thinking. We are still learning about the gut microbiome and oral microbiome and how they impact our overall health but I think 95% of people would benefit from Dr. Gundry's teachings.

Great Content - Tough Listening Experience!
Gut Check offers a wealth of fascinating information about digestive health and our wonderful microbiome (or Gut Buddies as the author calls them), making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand this crucial aspect of wellness. However, the audiobook experience is hindered by the author’s voice, which can be difficult to listen to for extended periods. This distraction detracts from the overall impact of the content, which is unfortunate.
I'm confident the non-audio version would have provided a much better experience.

A bit of a quack
The book was full of interesting information. However the overall tone is daunting and fear mongering about how basically all foods including lectins are our to kill us. Anyways I did take away some value from the book but overall felt it is fringe material. Lots of loose ends based on studies from rats and mice which is great and could be true in the human body but for now those studies have not been done. I would say read with a grain of salt and take what you like and leave what you don’t!

Saved my health
I liked this book as it includes scientific research to back up the importance of changing the way I eat. I liked how it has the reader reflect on the information presented for gut health and make one's own decisions on what needs to be done. For me, I need to know why I should or should not eat something and this book clearly explains this. I had no idea the huge impact our food has on our gut-brain health at a microbial level. I loved this book because it helped my gut issues. Following the Gut Check program I have seen such a positive difference in my gut and brain health. Knowing what I know now after listening, and taking notes, re-listening to this audiobook, I am for once excited about food. Now food does not cause abdominal pain, bloating etc, now I can eat the foods that support my gut microbiome and have no pain. The information in this book helped me and I hope it helps you!

Good content, annoying narration
Really interesting information but I wish I'd bought the physical book. The narration is very strange. He tries to be animated but consistently emphasizes the wrong word. Time and time again this would distract me so much that I'd miss what he said completely. It was a chore to get through, despite the helpful content.
