Do you struggle with chronic health problems like depression, allergies, or skin issues that just won't go away no matter what you try? According to Dr. Alejandro Junger, a renowned cardiologist and functional medicine practitioner, the root cause of these persistent ailments might be right under your nose - in your gut.
In this Habits and Hustle podcast episode, I am joined by Dr. Junger as he shares his personal journey from struggling with debilitating depression and allergies to discovering the power of gut healing. He explains that a staggering 99% of chronic diseases are either directly caused by or related to gut health issues.
We discuss the science behind how a "leaky gut" can wreak havoc on your entire system, leading to a host of seemingly unrelated symptoms. We also dive into practical tips on how to repair your gut through his innovative Clean Program, which has helped countless people around the world reclaim their health and vitality.
Dr. Alejandro Junger is a Cardiologist and New York Times best-selling author. After graduating from Medical School in Uruguay, he moved to New York City to begin postgraduate training in Internal Medicine at NYU and Lenox Hill Hospital. The significant shift in diet and lifestyle soon manifested as symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, allergies, and depression. Becoming a patient within the healthcare system incentivized to treat symptoms vs root cause emerged as a startling experience that catalyzed his quest for an alternative solution.
