Summary

The author of the bestselling Plant Paradox series takes a fresh look at one of the top health issues plaguing Americans—fatigue—and offers a revolutionary plan for boosting energy and revitalizing mental and physical stamina.

In his bestselling books, The Plant Paradox and The Longevity Paradox, Dr. Steven R. Gundry offered game-changing perspectives on our wellbeing. In The Energy Paradox, Dr. Gundry expands upon his previous discussions of gut, microbiome, and mitochondrial health, linking immune malfunction to the mental and physical symptoms of fatigue—including exhaustion, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and low metabolism. 

As Dr. Gundry explains, feeling tired, moody, and zapped of energy is not normal, no matter your workload or age. Fatigue is an SOS flare from the body, one that is intended to alert us that something is wrong. In his clinical work, Dr. Gundry has found that his patients who complain of feeling sick and tired all the time almost always have something in common: the inflammation markers of a leaky gut.

In The Energy Paradox, Dr. Gundry will offer listeners the information and tools necessary to quiet the autoimmune battle raging within—a battle that depletes precious energy reserves, leaving you drained and prone to mood disorders and weight gain. With new guidelines on how to increase mitochondrial energy production and nourish the microbiome, 30 new Plant Paradox-approved recipes, and lists of energy-boosting foods to consume and energy-depleting foods to avoid, The Energy Paradox will help listeners take back their lives, giving them the energy they need to feel, look, and be their best. 

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Mind opening and mind blowing information.

Loved it. Opened my eyes to the way I've been misusing my body. Made me realize that I'm not just a body walking around, I'm a living breathing energy production plant.
Thank you Dr Gundry.

Great pitch but the guy is a self ordained expert on everything

Got about two thirds of the way through and everything sounded credible … until he started ranting on about 5G … and I lost the faith. Plus almost every plant apparently has a self protect mechanism (lectins) so even they’re not safe to eat without specific cooking requirements … and rice needs to be reheated. By the way you can’t have breakfast until as late as possible and then it’s got to be on a regime … His "gut buddies" really get the VIP treatment because the best way to live apparently is to become a Stone Age hunter/gatherer with produce that we grow ourselves …

A very eloquent fraud

Feel foolish for getting this book without researching it first. The author is a fraud who eloquently told a scaremongering story about lectins without a shred of scientific evidence.
Can’t fault the narrator’s performance though.

Enjoyable

This was an enjoyable read. The recommendations around different foods was good but the endless lots of supplements we are advised to take every day sounds exhausting and unrealistic for most people.

Difficult Read

Downloaded as an audio book, would have found difficult to read. its a very technical book that in my opinion has been padded the basic message could have been covered with a much shorter guide. Overall food for thought but a waste of this months audio credit

Essential health knowledge, brilliantly presented

Stephen R Gundry is my new favourite health hero and guru. I feel this book is straight to the point, full of knowledge that is well supported and researched and extremely up to date. The author goes to the trouble of reading his book which I thank him for and he happens to do it rather well too. I've come across some of his concepts before, being well read in the health sphere but still there was lots of valuable new knowledge, like "post biotics" and essential information relating to mitochondria, so if you value your health and your energy, and you want a straight forward program to boost them or simply widen your health knowledge, then you can't go far wrong with this book. I for one will be going back to check on Dr Gundry's past volumes and see what other knowledge is there to garner. My thanks to the author and production team!!
