Dr Steven R. Gundry is an American physician and low-carbohydrate diet author, most famous for his book 'Unlocking the Keto Code'. He is also the founder of Gundry MD, dedicated to dramatically improving human health, happiness, and longevity through his unique vision of diet and nutrition.

Dr Steven joins Angela to talk about mitochondrial uncoupling, specifically how you can eat certain foods designed to turbo-charge your metabolism, effectively wasting calories, enabling you to support energy and vitality while supporting fat loss at the same time.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
There must be a mechanism by where mitochondria protect themselves. The best example of this is to see it as a kind of pressure cooker, where if the pressure reaches a certain point it explodes. This is prevented by a pressure valve, which is the same method used by mitochondria.
Ketones are often misrepresented as some kind of miracle fuel for the body that is desired by every part of physical form. But this is not true.
Free fatty acids go to the liver, and the liver converts them to ketones, which are very small acids that can get through the blood and be used as a fuel. This explains why, if you're hungry, you make ketones.
The polyphenol compounds were designed by plants to protect their mitochondria from sun damage. Polyphenols that we eat are very poorly absorbed, but we're beginning to see that they are the most important prebiotic for our gut bacteria.

BEST MOMENTS 

'It's virtually impossible to get kids or adults to avoid carbohydrates for any length of time'

'Ketones are touted as some kind of miraculous fuel'

'These are consequences of that thermonuclear reaction - that coupling'

'Gut bacteria, in turn, make these compounds much more bio-available'
