Thanks for this interesting interview. Did research during Covid and was shocked at how embedded pharmaceutical companies were in “public” health. Impossible to offer impartial advice when their funding is tied to BP. I decided that to best support my immune system, I’d become a vegan. ❤
What is omitted in most longevity advice is the connection between the brain and our health /long life. It is never mentioned enough that stress is our worst enemy. It is not about being happy go lucky but a philosophical attitude to life. Life is difficult. Instead of worrying we need to learn that problems should be solved with preferably less emotional upheaval, those that cannot be solved have to be accepted. The geo-social background of people living long life, with some small exception is a rural life, which much closer contact with nature and its, sometimes cruel, rules. A lot of research contradict each other. The food that is the healthiest is a local one. If we follow a diet from Okinawa and live in for instance Jamaica, it might not do anything for our health. Yet another simplification of a very complex issue.
He never said there was one factor that determined longevity. If a person eats the diet from Okinawa in Jamaica and if they had the social connection, exercised as the Okinawans do, practiced a religion, or honored their ancestors, and did ALL the other things Okinowans do, it is quite likely they WILL live as long & as well as Okinawans.
And the people who have been eating them, lives over 90 year old to 100 Sometimes we need to digest carefully what we are watching, or else we wouldn’t eat anything base of according to this, according to that 🫣✌️
I think Dr. Gundry goes overboard excluding certain foods. He doesn't like the lectins in beans. I've never known anyone who has had problems with the lectins in beans I've been a nurse over 40 years.
It is not wise to not consider the individual´s responsability on the choices people makes every time someone choose to eat crap food seeking for pleasure. It is not correct to see the environment as faulty or promiscous... it make the life easier, isn´t? No no no, I don´t buy it. The society we built is a mental construct over all individual minds together. The environment we built wants to survive and uses the best possible strategy to strive... but see... we did it. Not being aware or rather, self aware is the main problem. Consciousness itself is the solution and because the majority of of people live lives seeking for confort and avoiding disconfort, people feed this environment that consumes lifes more and more quickly. The good on this is that unconcious people are consumed quicker so, there is a solution inside the problem that with a proper time, the evil built by a seak society will kill first the uncouncious individuos.
The reality is most people do not take responsibility for their health. Perhaps it is more effective to promote change if you tell people it is not their fault.

Has the documentary he mentioned come out yet? If so, what is it called and what platform is it on? Would love to watch it.
