“My medical practice today is so much more rewarding because of the Clean Gut program, both for myself and my patients. I am no longer a diagnosis-making, prescription-writing machine. Before I even think of making a diagnosis, I immediately look for gut dysfunction. Often it is so obvious I don’t even need any tests. After a twenty-one-day gut-repair program, so many of my patients’ problems are completely gone. There’s no need to order tests of prescribe pills. With an understanding of how the gut gets damaged, how gut dysfunction manifests as a multitude of seemingly unrelated and distant diseases, and, most importantly, how to help the body repair the gut, I was able to help many of my patients restore their true health. Such results led me to write this book. The Clean Gut program is a simple, lifesaving protocol designed to start you on the path to vibrant, lasting, prescription- and disease-free health.
This book is the culmination of the work and research I started when I set out to heal myself. I discovered that the gut is the root of health, and gut repair is the mother of preventive medicine. If your gut is healthy, there are almost no chronic diseases to prevent. For too long we have reacted to symptoms as our first steps in getting healthy. But with this new protocol, we offer a method to strike down disease before it takes hold. We no longer have to get sick to get healthy. With this new program we are able to transform our entire approach to health. Food is medicine, and the gut is the key to a long, vibrant life.”

The gut.
That’s where all the health magic (or challenges!) begins.
Alejandro Junger is a cardiologist turned functional medicine doctor who created the incredibly popular Clean Program (and who happens to be Gwyneth Paltrow’s doctor).
Check out our Notes on his first book Clean where he walks us through the basics of his Clean approach. With Clean Gut, we shine a light on our gut and, of course, how to clean it up so we can shine with radiant, vibrant health.
The cornerstone of the book is a 21-day gut-repair program. Check out the book and Clean Program for more details.
For now, I’m excited to share some of my favorite Big Ideas we can apply to our lives TODAY so let’s jump straight in!!
