Cardiothoracic Surgeon & Nutrition Expert; Founder of Gundry MD; Author of "The Plant Paradox"
Dr. Steven Gundry Biography
Dr. Steven Gundry is a cardiothoracic surgeon, medical researcher, and New York Times bestselling author whose career bridges the fields of heart surgery and human nutrition. Gundry graduated cum laude from Yale University with special honors in human biological and social evolution, earned his medical degree from the Medical College of Georgia School of Medicine, and completed residencies in general surgery and thoracic surgery at the University of Michigan. He served as a clinical associate at the National Institutes of Health and later became professor and chairman of cardiothoracic surgery at Loma Linda University, where he and colleague Leonard Bailey performed a significant number of infant and pediatric heart transplants.
During his surgical career, Gundry contributed to cardiac innovation as the inventor of the Gundry Ministernomy, a minimally invasive approach to aortic- or mitral-valve repair; the Gundry Lateral Tunnel, a living tissue used to rebuild parts of the heart in children with congenital heart malformations; and the Skoosh venous cannula, widely used in minimally invasive heart operations. He was an early leader in robotic surgery and a consultant to Computer Motion, now Intuitive Surgical, receiving early FDA approval for robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery for coronary artery-bypass and mitral-valve operations. Over his cardiothoracic career, Gundry performed more than 10,000 heart surgeries, published over 300 studies, and developed medical technology for heart health.
A patient’s improvement through dietary changes prompted Gundry to shift his focus to treating modern diseases through nutrition and lifestyle interventions. He founded The International Heart & Lung Institute and The Center for Restorative Medicine, emphasizing the treatment of chronic diseases through dietary strategies and gut health. His research has centered on the microbiome’s role in chronic disease and longevity.
Gundry is the author of several New York Times bestsellers, including "Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution," "The Plant Paradox," "The Longevity Paradox," "The Energy Paradox," and "The Gut-Brain Paradox." In "The Plant Paradox," he explored the impact of lectins, a class of plant-based proteins, on gut health, inflammation, and weight management. "The Gut-Brain Paradox" examines the connection between the gut microbiome and brain health, highlighting the influence of gut health on mental and emotional well-being. Gundry has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and is the founder of Gundry MD, a wellness products company, and host of "The Dr. Gundry Podcast." His work focuses on nutrition, longevity, gut health, and chronic disease prevention.
