Dr. Steven R Gundry MD 5 Books Collection Set

This five-book paperback collection brings together key titles by Dr Steven R Gundry MD, spanning his work on lectins, ageing, energy and ketogenic dieting. Across the set, Gundry challenges commonly held assumptions about “healthy” foods and explores how specific biological processes may influence wellbeing.

The books draw on recurring topics including the gut and microbiome, inflammation and fatigue, and the role of mitochondria. One title focuses on lectins, described as plant-based proteins found in foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, dairy and grains, and discusses their potential impact on the gut and systemic inflammation. Other volumes outline approaches to ageing well, examine links between immune malfunction and symptoms of fatigue, and describe a cellular process referred to as mitochondrial uncoupling in relation to keto diets.

Included titles

• The Plant Paradox
• The Longevity Paradox
• The Energy Paradox
• Unlocking the Keto Code
• The Plant Paradox Quick and Easy

Synopses

The Plant Paradox Quick and Easy

This book follows on from The Plant Paradox, which presents a different view of foods often regarded as healthy. It discusses lectins, a type of protein found in fruits, vegetables, legumes, dairy and grains, and describes their effects on the gut, systemic inflammation, and links to disease and weight gain.

The Plant Paradox

Dr Gundry describes gluten as one form of lectin, a plant-based protein he characterises as highly toxic. He notes that lectins are found in grains such as wheat as well as in foods marketed as “gluten-free”.

The Longevity Paradox

Gundry argues that “diseases of ageing” are not simply caused by age, but relate to how people have lived over decades. He sets out an approach to ageing well based on supporting the health of microorganisms that live within the body.

The Energy Paradox

This title expands on Gundry’s discussions of gut, microbiome and mitochondrial health. It links immune malfunction to mental and physical symptoms of fatigue, including exhaustion, brain fog, depression, anxiety and low metabolism.

Unlocking the Keto Code

Gundry outlines a biological mechanism he says helps explain the success of keto diets: a cellular process called mitochondrial uncoupling. He also states that ketones are not the “magical” fuel source they are often presented to be.
