‘I read this reserve… it proved helpful. My autoimmune disease is fully gone and I’m 37 pounds lighter in my own pleather.’ -Kelly Clarkson

Just about everyone has heard about gluten-a protein within wheat that causes widespread inflammation in the body. Americans spend billions of dollars on gluten-free diet plans in order to guard their health. But what if we’ve been lacking the root of the problem? In The Place Paradox, renowned cardiologist Dr. Steven Gundry uncovers that gluten is just one variety of a common, about The Place Paradox: The Hidden Dangers in ‘Healthy’ Foods That Cause Disease and Weight Gain and highly poisonous, plant-based protein called lectin. Lectins are located not only in grains like wheat but also in the “gluten-free” foods the majority of us typically regard as healthy, including many fruits, vegetables, nut products, beans, and conventional milk products. These protein, which are located in the seed products, grains, skins, rinds, and leaves of vegetation, are designed naturally to safeguard them from predators (including human beings). Once ingested, they incite some sort of chemical warfare inside our physiques, leading to inflammatory reactions that may lead to putting on weight and serious health issues.

At his waitlist-only clinics in California, Dr. Gundry offers successfully treated thousands of patients experiencing autoimmune disorders, diabetes, leaky gut syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative illnesses with a protocol that detoxes the cells, repairs the gut, and nourishes your body. Right now, in The Place Paradox, he shares this clinically proven program with readers all over the world.

The easy (and daunting) fact is, lectins are everywhere. Fortunately, Dr. Gundry presents simple hacks we conveniently can employ in order to avoid them, including:

Peel your vegetables. Most of the lectins are within the epidermis and seeds of plants; simply peeling and de-seeding vegetables (like tomato vegetables and peppers) reduces their lectin content.Shop for fruits in season. Fruits consist of fewer lectins when ripe, so eating apples, berries, and other lectin-containing fruits on the peak of ripeness helps minimize your lectin usage.Swap your brown rice for white. Wholegrains and seeds with hard outer coatings were created naturally to cause digestive distress-and are full of lectins.With a complete set of lectin-containing foods and simple substitutes for every, a step-by-step detox and eating plan, and delicious lectin-free recipes, The Vegetable Paradox illuminates the hidden dangers lurking inside your salad bowl-and shows you how to eat whole foods in a complete new way.
