To eat or not to eat… lectins. This is the question we were faced with after our latest episode featuring Dr. Steven Gundry.
A group of proteins called lectins are the primary defence most plants have against predators… including us (human beings).
Today we’re discussing how we’re going to approach lectins in the “healthy” foods we’ve been consuming.

Hi, did I misunderstand or did Dr. Gundry say that if we have normal microbiome it helps to digest lectins and everything else? Wouldn’t that mean then we can eat it, given the foods are soaked and cooked properly?
Definitely is the case for me, whenever i get imbalance in the gut bacteria my leaky gut syndrome symptoms come back.
