Dr. Steven Gundry, M.D., is a world-renowned cardiologist, heart surgeon, medical researcher, and author. After working in medicine for more than 40 years, Gundry shifted his focus to teaching people how to avoid surgery in the first place through simple diet changes.

Gundry’s holistic, food forward approach has helped his clients lose weight, reduce chronic disease risk, and live longer, healthier lives.
