Your Brain Is NOT In Your Head (Doctor Explains) 

Exciting. 96 years young and I screamed for the first year of my life because I couldn't digest my food. It has been a giant battle ever since. Seeing this tape, my gut tells me Yay--MORE. Thank you, Doctor Gundry. Mary Louise Hamilton, Newberg, OR.

Hi Doc, I'm a retired Dutch dentist in good health and, fortunately for decades, also a highly motivated contrarian thinker who likes to think for himself first, rather than swallowing most of Big Pharma's or Big Money's or Big Whatever's statistical or Ivory's Tower's hogwash. Consequently, I have always told my kids to stick to their being stubborn, provided they have good reason for being so. As a result, they should be able to properly defend with words their point of view! And yes, they know that I am proud about that! Sadly enough, amongst my closest contacts, I have some Parkinson disease sufferers. Your crystal clear lecture has provided me with a lot of information, for which I am very, very thankful. You have sent my 2nd brain on a different road, hitherto not very well known, but most probably the road that eventually will lead to better understanding of the root cause of Parkinson's and the like diseases and finally it's eradication.

I see everyone is having a go at this man in a negative way. I developed vitiligo around my mid 30's. I tried everything over a 5 year period. I had some success but nothing that brought my confidence back. I bought his 2 books and followed the plan. My pigmentation is returning, I'm no longer tired all the time and so far my weight loss is 43lbs. I eat between 10am and 6pm. I don't fully understand what is working but I'll keep going with the gentle exercise, mindfulness and Dr Gundry plan.

I am super healthy and strive to keep it that way! Make and drink my own kombucha and bone broth. Live a Ketogenic lifestyle and loving it! Love this video! Amazing Dr. Gundry!

For me Dr. Gundry's research and presentations are invaluable. Since January 2018 I've been eating lectin free according to the suggestions in his book "The Plant Paradox" and no longer suffer from Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Leaky Gut. Additionally I make sure that my food and nutritional intake is high in antioxidants and plant phenols. I consider myself to be the living proof that Dr. Gundry's findings work and therefore I'm immensely grateful for his life changing advice.

BTW fellow watcher, bump the playback speed up to 1.25 times. Both speech and movement patterns seem much more natural - including question from the audience.

I took two salads to work for twenty years everyday and did not lose any weight at the near 300 pound level. I am doing Keto, Dr. Berg style, I point that out because the term "Keto" means different things to different people. It has been the only thing that has worked for me. I am down about 60 pound since late January of 2018. Last week I saw a video from Dr. Berg going for his CAC report. He had great news, his score was zero.

I haven' eaten donughts in 2 months and my stupid bad bacteria still text message me to convince me to eat some. I thought they were dead, but I guess they text me from the other side.

Been doing the plant paradox for only a month and feel amazing!!! Thanks Dr. Gundry! Can’t wait for your “Longevity Paradox” book to come out. Exciting stuff! You’re such a great teacher! 😄🙏👍🏽

Dr Gundry is one of those Doctors I would trust with my life.He is far above any Dr or person,in his knowledge of the body.This is not the first time I have heard of your gut being the second brain...It all makes sense and we can look around us and see that so many people are sick...when the gut is affected..because of the way we eat..our whole body suffers,,not just physically but mentally.

If you told me: "your brain is not in your head at all?" I'd say: "which head are you talking about?"

I do the "Gut check". Always trust the gut.

Hi Dr Gundry, I found this fascinating that we have a second brain and that the first brain is in our gut. This will revolutionise the medical fraternity and come down to the patient. A big thank you.

The more I watch this the more I see that our world is a reflection of the complexity that happens in us almost as though the outside world mimics the systems and processes inside us 🤯

You either take care and control of the “zoo” within, or it will rule you!

Is that where the saying "Shit for brains" comes from?

I watched this to the end,had a gut feeling that i should,😃

It’s the whole truth that makes people sick . Thank you Dr.

This is amazing information. Thank you so much Dr. Gundry.

Thank you doctor for all advices you do give us ....excellent way to teach the subject in the lecture today ...but make me depressed..very I don't like food anymore

Thank you for summarizing and presenting this complex science so that laymen can understand and act on it! Some of this information is available piecemeal from other sources, but I haven't found anyone else who puts it all together like this! I can explain this to other people (from the high level at which you presented it, of course) - a sure indication that I understand it and testiment to the skill of the teacher (you)! I am very grateful for the knowledge you've given me!

Seriously you Made the world a safer place because now I know how yo feed my family I love your dr Gundry

---- Heartburn drug warning: New study links to Alzheimer's disease--- PPI use causes low stomach acid which is probably the culprit for Alzheimer's. Unsaid, was the fact that many people over 50, who have never taken a PPI, have low stomach acid. The "Neurologist" Dr. David Perlmutter believes Alzheimer's is related to a dysfunction in the gut biome (stomach)and can be treated with probiotics. Interestingly, having low stomach acid, whether normally from aging or from PPI use, allows "bacterial overgrowth" from both failure of stomach acid to kill bad bacteria entering the stomach as well as bacterial overgrowth resulting from lack of acid and pepsin to properly digest the food we eat. Reflux is due to poor eating habits. Actually, reflux is more closely related to ""low stomach acid" and "bacterial overgrowth" due to low acid in the stomach or a mechanical problem with the Lower Esophageal . The Medical Medium Anthony William says to drink organic celery juice on an empty stomach. It contains a unique blend of seven different acids the body needs to produce hydrochloric acid to properly digest protein and protect the gut from pathogens. Acid reflux is actually caused by bad acids produced by pathogenic organisms traveling up the esophagus not by too much stomach acid or stomach acid traveling up the esophagus. ---- One reason people are more prone to Alzheimer's disease by taking antacids is they aren't getting their B vitamins. This is especially true of B1, B2, B4, folic acid, and B12. In nursing homes people's dementia improves with B vitamins. Yet, older American's are put on antacid drugs, while at the same time they ""produce less stomach acid"" . People who rely on antacids usually will wind up with too little stomach acid. Close to 80%of people who complain of heartburn really have too little hydrochloric acid and enzymes in the stomach. The people who have too little stomach acid can't digest food properly. Antacids make a bad condition worst. Antacids cause decreased excretion of acids and increased bicarbonates, this makes urine more alkaline. An alkaline urine is a breeding ground for bacteria. This is why cranberry juice is used for a bladder infections it makes urine more acid. the low acid in the stomach creates many health issues. No surprise all medications even over the counter ones have side effects. Again, they do not solve the problem. A poor diet can come back one day to bite you. Our digestion system is not meant for all the garbage we put there. I am sure many people would improve with a diet human's were meant to eat. www.naturalhealth365.com/heartburn-gerd-2041.html

AWESOME stuff Doctor Gundry! Thanks! P.S. I suffer from anxiety, depression and sleeplessness!

No wonder I'm always thinking about food....

Makes total sense. It's why when you fast your emotions and mind get sharper.

No explanation of what the Plant Paradox book did for the japanese lady in Vancouver.

The heart is real intelligence. Because it creates joy and beauty. This is far more intelligent than processing information like a computer. Or using greed to suck the joy, beauty and harmony out of life to make misery, ugliness and conflict.

Gundry. I always said alcoholism comes from the gut and why when you stop drinking you crave sugar. I noticed i wake up in the middle of the night wanting a sweet snack before i can fall back asleep. The gut causes insomnia to. Any thoughts on drinking V8 juice?

No one has enlightened me si well You should run for president really

man this is great. thank you so much for those lectures.

Awesome teaching presentation on the brain and gut👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

He is the best Dr. ever. He is the only doc who knows how the body actually works. Read his book!!! Coffee enemas do wonders also. 👍

Thank you for posting the 2nd Lecture. Again more bombs dropping, and I'm loving it because these bombs cure us not kill us. Blowing away myths about current day healthy eating. Your approach to getting the message across is "Spot-on'.

THERE ARE THREE BRAINS, THE HEART HAS NEURONS IN EACH CHAMBER TRI-AXIS

Thanks for watching! Are there any health topics *you'd* like to know more about? Let me know in the comments below ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gundry MD's RU-vid Channel: bit.ly/2YVaIi0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's important to distinguish between the brain and the mind. The brain is part of the physical body that the mind operates as part of our soul which occupies and is supposed to make decisions to control the voluntary actions of our physical bodies.

A very enlightening lecture.

Excellent, thanks very much for doing this vid. I took notes, posted the summary into a group. Recently I've been experimenting with fasting, with very good results. This vid explains some of the mechanisms more clearly.

The report, published in The Lancet medical journal, claims to be the most comprehensive of its kind and goes against previous studies which have suggested a glass of red wine is equal to going to the gym, or that drinking alcohol makes you live longer. Read more © Stefano RellandiniTeetotalers at as much risk of dementia as excessive drinkers - study While the researchers acknowledged that moderate alcohol use can help protect against heart disease and diabetes, they said the risks associated with drinking alcohol - such as cancer and other illnesses - far outweigh any benefits. "The widely held view of the health benefits of alcohol needs revising," said the report, which called for national medical guidelines - that suggest drinking one or two glasses of wine or beer per day are safe - should be amended. "Our results show that the safest level of drinking is none," say the study’s researchers at the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation in Seattle. For the study, the team looked at alcohol use and its health effects in those aged between 15 and 95 across 195 countries between 1990 and 2016. Results showed that alcohol led to 2.8 million deaths in 2016 alone and was the leading cause for premature mortality and disability among those aged between 15 and 49, accounting for 10 percent of all deaths.

I love your analogies! Helps everyday people to easily digest your information.

Dr. Gundry if you can, can you touch on the subject of if a person only needs to eat when they are literally hungry? I am never hungry so I am eating constantly because I lose weight lol I eat every minute as soon as I am sitting I am eating every minute of every second. I hardly ever feel hungry :( How many days do I need to go without eating in order to get hungry? Will i lose weight? I've gone almost two days without eating and I wasn't hungry, when should I feel hungry?

My gastro doctor thought I had a pancreas that wasn't working. He did another colonoscopy in 6 years to see. Nothing was wrong. He gave me a med that would tell the pancreas to work. It did its job but way too expensive! I learned a better supplement from a nutrition store that does all the same but only costs me $42 for a month. The other was thousands! As long as I take 1 or 2 of the supplement, depending on meal size, I do not have diarrhea. It was one year of not being able to leave my home before I started to learn what to do or not to do. Wonder if you have had this issue as well.

Very interesting. I have also heard that the only reason for having a brain is movement. If we didn't need to move we would not need a brain. And since we need internal organ movement it makes sense that the computer to carry that out the gut would be located in the gut. I'm following the PP diet and feel a lot better so it seems the lectin theory is correct. I have mentioned it to others and they deny it. Keep up the good work.

Your amazing Dr.Gundry😊

Dr Gundry, you advocate a big consumption of olive oil for its many benefits. I have diabetes and some advocate complete or minimal consumption of oil to reduce insulin resistance. So what should I eat now, oil or no oil?

9/2/18: Brain is like a computer what goes into it is what comes out and Mind (reasoning qualities) are separate parts of anatomy within.

Something tells me that the billion dollar diet soda and artificial sweetener industry may have extensive research about the craving connection

I just watched this and was very impressed with the information. Thank you! In this lecture, you referred several times to the previous lecture on this topic. I looked through your video lists, and could not find the companion video to this lecture. Could you post it please as a comment, or as a link below the video? Thank you!

Thank U so much! U r amazing!

Everything I've been watching has made alot of sense. I accidently clicked on his website, sheer dumb luck. I now have his book The Plant Paradox and just ordered VITAL REDS, today!!! Hoping this will help me and my family. Hoping to do a video on the results, but as you know, takes time to actually know the results. I have been changing my diet for the past 2 years, so I hope his diet plan and VITAL REDS will make a major difference in my body. But, will it make me a better RU-vidr?

So this is why I typically think with my stomach. :P Seriously though, this is very interesting.

did he speak slow enough for you guys , i sure hope it was slowwww enough for you all . thanks DR G , great info i had to put it at 2 tho thank you.

I can only afford to take 1 of Dr. Gundry's products. I am 100lbs overweight, Hashimoto's Hypothyroid, Mild Hypertension, Mild diabetes and Fatty Liver, 52 years old. Which product should I take?

I've always had gut intuition as well. But I still think most of the actual processing is done in the head. Gut feels like its more an instinctual brain and probably controls a lot of bodily functions we don't even think about.

Loving All Thing GUNDRY - TY Doctor !

Great episode .. Thank you doctor :)

So if you only have access or the ability to get four or five organic vegetables should you just eat those all of the time or is it more important to get the nutrients from a variety of conventionally grown, what say you? 🙂

What a GREAT LECTURE !!! this information is PRICELESS !!! now we now that the QUALITY of are NATURAL ORGANIC FOOD'S, is a DIRECT CONNECTION, of are FUTURE HEALTH and LONGEVITY !!!

Interestingly enough, in Classical times they believed human awareness resided in the breast not the head (I remember a specific reference in the De Rerum Natura of Lucretius), so there's obviously some cultural conditioning going on here, with our modern perception of the brain's function making us place awareness in the head.

Dr Gundry, Thank you so much for sharing your information, I found it is very interesting.

I'm having a go at this man in a positive way. Subscribed. Doctor, can I have my appendix back? I've heard it's the center of this gut brain and they took out mine. Can I have an appendix transplantation? No jokes. If so, would I need immunosuppressives?

No lie.I have always listened to my "gut"and have never been let down.I can tell in seconds when talking to or being around someone new if they are an asshole or not.Sounds harsh however I know and I trust the gut 100%...Say I'm an asshole for this comment If it makes you happy.

You tell me how .WE are surposed to deal with THIS. When we have toxic water gmos chemicals!!!

So how do you get more of this bueturate?

Great information, thanks

Yes, doctor I agree with you, if the guts work fine we work very well, and I see also the benefit of meditation to keep us happy, I recommend it a lot.

Excellent!!👏🏼

Not bold enough Dr. We've all been drunk and intoxicated from processed foods, lectins, grains, sugars...FOR YEARS AT A TIME! How many of us have actually experienced true sobriety?

What about coconut oil?

I have gastroparesis. So my digestive brain is paralyzed. And it is crippling.

Now I'm holding my belly to think.

Thank you for enlightening us 🙏💖 I will get your books

Excellent and clear video.

I like this podcast a lot. I have learned so many things. Thank You for such vital information. Please tell me does Egg have Butyrate and if it has then how much.

The brain, the gut and heart are the 3 major gods

I need a prescription to help me stay awake through this lecture.

I have a gut feeling that he is right.

This Is GOOD ! Thank you !

Waiting to read your next book. When will it be released?

really good lecture. loved it.

the head brain is a relay switch...

Great lecture.

So it is what is known in electrical/process engineering a as a distributive control system loop.

I love your de Gundry

I enjoyed the video and subscribed for more info, you set off my Truth detector. I think that every part of the body and all it's guests down to the subatomic level are each individual "brains" that group together to form larger brains and all of their thoughts converge at the heart and diverge from the heart. It seems to me that information is attached to the Sonic wave generated by closing of the heart valve causing a cavitation of the bodily fluids which are quite similar to the make up of sea water. Crystals have been said to give off electrical energy when under pressure. It seems to me that the heart is the nucleus of the mind of the body and is many times more powerful than any of the other nuclei in the body both electricly and electromagnetically. The Heart is the most powerful brain in the body as it is informed by all others as a universal receiver for all that is contained within it's field but for most of us it is the least used because it can only be accessed consciously and we spend most of our time in reactionary states, paradigms where reactions are predetermined like a computer program until our situation no longer fits that program and a new paradigm is chosen. Like when we drive to a social gathering, we are in a trance like state for the drive and acting with little thought about our driving, in automatic. When we arrive we often choose a different paradigm of automatic thought that seems to fit the situation. Try holding your breath and ask where is the need for air first felt. The queen ant and the heart are fed first for the same reason. Many see ourselves as more advanced than the ants in all ways but the ants always know what to do because they always follow the queen.

Good stuff

How do you get the microbiome of the skin back

SOLUTIONS ????????????????????

Epic !!!!!!!!!!! Thank You very much ❤️

Wonderful

Hi doctor I m suffering from lower abdominal pain and from last 1 Year my liver enzymes are high I met so many doctors from last 3 years my GI did my colonoscopy,endoscopy and so many other test but I have no diagnosis and I m suffering a lot I don’t know what to do where to go pls help

wire down vs wire up. Hmm I've always assumed wires where two directional. Does anybody know more on that subject? Does a wire in the neverous system have one direction?

I disagree in the beginning that only women have that 'gut' feeling. As a man I have that exact same feeling, it's not just exclusive to women.

What if we consider the heart is the first brain instead of the gut and the brain is the second ,,,

Hmmm, very interesting, I was looking at it 3 times. We have 2 brains and the big one is in the stomach and it is infected with bad bugs because of what we eat. And also here nothing good said about Roundup.

Watch at 1.25x

What if your on thyroid 112 mg

The gut actually the 1st brain

Wondered. Are all living creatures (animals and plants) just like avatars created by bacteria?
