The Dr. Gundry Podcast

Let’s talk about something most people avoid discussing…
Your poop.
It might not be the most comfortable topic, but your stool is one of the most powerful and overlooked windows into your health.
In fact, long before symptoms show up elsewhere in your body, your gut is already sending you signals… and they often show up in the toilet.
The problem is, most people don’t know what they’re looking at—or what it means.
In this episode, I’m breaking down everything you were never taught about your bowel movements, so you can finally understand what your body is trying to tell you… and what to do about it.
On this episode, you’ll learn:
The surprising science behind what poop really is (1:50)
What your stool should actually look like if your gut is healthy (4:44)
Why floating poop isn’t random, and what it could be telling you about digestion (6:05)
How your gut bacteria influence your bowel movements—and why you actually want the right bacteria living inside you (7:12)
The hidden habits and everyday foods that may be quietly damaging your gut (and showing up in your stool) (10:00)
All about the two types of fiber — and which one most people are missing (13:26)
How often you should really be going to the bathroom (and the exact foods that help keep things moving) (18:45)
The real reasons behind constipation and diarrhea—and what your body is trying to tell you when it happens (23:00)

What if the reason you feel tired, foggy, or just “off”… has nothing to do with your age, stress, or even your diet?
What if it’s your environment?
The reality is, most of us now spend nearly 93% of our lives indoors—and according to today’s guest, that shift may be quietly disrupting everything from your sleep and metabolism… to your brain function and immune system.
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. John La Puma, author of Indoor Epidemic, to uncover how modern indoor living is impacting your health in ways most people never consider.
You’ll learn all about major hidden threats, how poor indoor air can affect your focus and decision-making, and why the air inside your home may be more harmful than what’s outside.
Most importantly, we share simple, science-backed solutions you can start today ” to help reset your body.
Because sometimes, it’s not just what you eat…it’s where you live.
On this episode, you’ll learn:

What daylight saving time is really doing to your body (9:15)

Your chronological age is just a number; your biological age tells the real story. I uncover how biological age is measured, why many popular tests may be misleading, and the key markers — like gut health, insulin levels, and muscle mass — that actually determine how fast you’re aging.
