GUNDRY HEALTH FAQ
Here Is The Most Frequently Asked Questions.

Identifying and treating autoimmune disease can be difficult.  The Dr. Gundry protocol was established using over 20 years of clinical trials and patient care experience.

What is autoimmune disease?

An autoimmune disease is a condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body. These attacks can affect any part of the body, weakening bodily function and even turning life-threatening.

Each coordinator is trained on the Gundry Health protocol and is certified by our Gundry Health Patient care team. Each patient is assigned a care coordinator that provides a full lab review and outlines a personal plan.

Dr. Steven Gundry is a cardiothoracic surgeon, heart surgeon, medical researcher, and author. Dr. Gundry has performed 10,000 surgeries and has over 20 years of experience treating autoimmune disease.

We understand many factors like time, location, and even fuel costs can affect getting tested. That’s why Gundry Health will ship you one of our proprietary home lab kits direct to your home or office. This way, you don’t need to worry about time, location, or any other factor that can prevent you from completing your lab testing. Complete the test and mail it back in the pre-paid overnight delivery package. A care coordinator reviews lab data, and a specific plan is provided. Members get tested 4 times a year included in the plan.

Your gut microbiome is a community of “good” and “bad” bacteria. Beneficial bacteria help digest food, manufacture nutrients, and communicate with your immune system. However, an imbalanced microbiome, often caused by sugar and lectin-rich diets, weakens the gut wall and increases the risk of leaky gut.

Gundry Health Mobile App is free for all patients, and we encourage our patients to use it. Please visit the Gundry Platform page for more information.

Leaky gut syndrome, also called intestinal permeability, occurs when the lining of the gut becomes damaged and develops microscopic holes. These holes allow harmful compounds, bacteria, and undigested food particles to “leak” into the bloodstream, triggering inflammation and contributing to health issues, including autoimmune diseases.

The Gundry Clinical Program is offered nationwide for only $999 one-time fee and an additional $199 per month for ongoing concierge care (a $10,000+ value). Each patient is assigned a care provider and a Board Certified Doctor. Our doctors will review labs and medical charts and provide a personalized treatment plan. Up to 4 annual lab reports are included at no additional charge. All patients have free access to the Gundry Health Mobile App which provides access to lab data and easy to use food logging to track your progress.

Gundry Health mobile app allows you can request a call back from a patient care specialist, check your lab reports with our easy-to-read charts, download your lab data, make sure the foods you want to eat are safe by using the Yes/No food list and the app provides complete food logging that is shared with your doctor to ensure the best class of care.

Gundry Health platform is a highly customized health platform that provides access to care coordinators to help members suffering from leaky gut and autoimmune disease.  The Gundry Health Telehealth platform offers HIPAA Compliant and EMR Integrated solutions that ensure the best quality of care.  Gundry Health patients receive up to 4 annual in-depth blood lab data panels with data on over 140 food markers to help identify the potential cause of an autoimmune disease.

We do not come across these requests often, but if a member decides to end the monthly membership, they can do so by contacting customer service during 9AM and 6PM EST to talk to a patient care specialist.

Eating more prebiotic-rich foods is a key step in healing leaky gut. Prebiotics feed the beneficial gut bacteria and include:

  • Artichokes
  • Leeks
  • Okra
  • Jerusalem artichokes
  • Broccoli
  • Chicory root
  • Mushrooms
  • Incorporating these foods into your diet can help rebuild a healthy gut lining.
The Gundry Health Program tests for intestinal permeability, Food Sensitivity and provides over 140 food marker scores with IgG (Immunoglobulin G) and IgA (Immunoglobulin A) statistical data. Lab results are displayed on Gundry Health mobile applications.
Our lab tests provide valuable insights into what your body may be allergic or sensitive to. This information aids in crafting a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
Several factors can weaken the gut lining, including:
 
  • Poor diet, particularly high in sugar and processed foods
  • Lectin-containing foods, such as tomatoes, potatoes, quinoa, and wheat
  • Environmental toxins, like glyphosate (a common weed killer)
  • NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), which affect gut permeability and microbiome composition
Symptoms of leaky gut may include:
 
  • Painful indigestion
  • Gas and bloating after meals
  • Chronic diarrhea or constipation
  • Brain fog
  • Low energy levels
  • Skin conditions like rashes or eczema
 
If left untreated, it can lead to autoimmune diseases such as Crohn’s disease, lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis.
Yes, Dr. Gundry recommends avoiding lectin-containing foods that damage the gut lining, such as:
 
  • Nightshade vegetables (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplants)
  • Grains like quinoa, oats, and whole wheat
  • Sugary and processed foods
 
Following Dr. Gundry’s YES and NO foods list can help reduce inflammation and promote gut healing.

When harmful particles leak through the gut wall, the immune system overreacts, releasing inflammatory cytokines to fight what it perceives as threats.

A leaky gut is often the third key factor, alongside genetics and environmental triggers.
