YAPClassic: Dr. Steven Gundry on The Plant Paradox, Fixing Leaky Gut, and Giving Fruit the Boot

In 2001, Dr. Steven Gundry met a patient with severe heart disease that couldn’t be corrected by surgery. Steven turned him away, saying he could do nothing to help him. However, the patient made some unusual changes to his diet, and within six months, he cleaned out 50% of the blockages in his arteries.
