Unlocking the Keto Code: The Revolutionary New Science of Keto That Offers More Benefits Without Deprivation (The Plant Paradox, 7) Hardcover – March 8, 2022
Purchase options and add-ons
From the author of the New York Times bestselling Plant Paradox series comes this revolutionary take on the keto diet that debunks common myths and shows readers how to reap the rewards of keto with less restriction
Like many doctors and nutrition experts, bestselling author Dr. Steven Gundry has long endorsed the ketogenic diet—a style of eating that heavily restricts carbohydrate intake to make the body burn fat for fuel. Because ketosis offers a variety of health benefits, including weight loss, reduced risk of illness, and enhanced energy, Dr. Gundry believed his patients’ efforts to adhere to the challenging regimen was worthwhile. That is, until his research uncovered a shocking truth: We’ve gotten keto all wrong.
In Unlocking the Keto Code, Dr. Gundry reveals the biological mechanism that makes keto diets so successful: a cellular process known as “mitochondrial uncoupling.” As it turns out, ketones are not the magical fuel source they’ve been made out to be; in fact, the body cannot run on ketones and fats alone. Over the long term, a very low carb-diet can lead to muscle wasting and poor cognitive health.
Luckily, you don’t have to restrict all carbs to reap the benefits of ketosis; you simply have to have enough ketones and other plant compounds called polyphenols present in your body to “unlock” the process of mitochondrial uncoupling. In this insightful, empowering, eminently practical book. Dr. Gundry explains the many ways readers can ignite this process, from feasting on plant-based foods (carbs that are typically off-limits on a keto diet!) to enjoying ketone generating foods such as goat and sheep milk products, to implementing a timed eating schedule. You will even discover the real reason how superfoods, even apple cider vinegar, work their magic; and its not what they you think!
Grounded in cutting-edge science, this is the book for all the people who have tried and failed on a keto diet; for vegetarians and vegans who want to go keto; and for anyone who wants to lose weight and enjoy better health while eating a wide variety of foods. With food lists, hacks, and all-new recipes, Unlocking the Keto Code makes going keto easy and enjoyable for the first time.

Review
“An epochal piece of research. ‘Unlocking the Keto Code’ is a mind-bending, head-scratching new tome that is going to cause a ruckus....in all the right ways. Required reading for anyone on — or ever thinking about – a keto diet.” — James Nestor, bestselling author of Breath
"Dr. Gundry has done it again. He has the unique ability to take complex scientific information and turn it into simple and practical solutions. His latest book is a must-read for anyone interested in optimal health and longevity." — Dr. Jack Wolfson, board-certified cardiologist and founder of The Natural Heart Doctor
“[Dr. Gundry's] new approach will offer a fresh perspective for dieters eager for a change… those dedicated to radical approaches to weight loss and healthfulness will welcome the author’s presentation of the latest research. An encouraging “tune-up” diet guide featuring a host of weight-loss alternatives.” — Kirkus Reviews
"Dr. Gundry has always been a skilled disruptor of commonly held beliefs that tend to cause people to struggle with their health. Ketogenic diets, though rooted in long-lived nutrition principles, have led to a startling misconception about how they work. Dr. Gundry, true-to-form, comes sweeping in with Unlocking the Keto Code to clarify this nutritional phenomenon like only he can. You'll be healthier, happier, and more empowered by reading this book." — Shawn Stevenson, bestselling author of Eat Smarter and host of The Model Health Show

About the author
STEVEN GUNDRY MD, F.A.C.S., F.A.C.C., is a cum laude graduate of Yale University with special honors in Human Biological and Social Evolution. After graduating Alpha Omega Alpha from the Medical College of Georgia School of Medicine, Dr. Steven Gundry completed residencies in General Surgery and Thoracic Surgery at the University of Michigan and served as a Clinical Associate at the National Institutes of Health for years. There, he invented devices that reverse the cell death seen in acute heart attacks; variations of these devices subsequently became the Gundry™ Retrograde Cardioplegia Cannula. It has become the world's most widely used device of its kind to protect the heart from damage during open-heart surgery. After completing a fellowship in congenital heart surgery at The Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, in London, Dr. Gundry was recruited as Professor and Chairman of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Loma Linda University Medical Center. There, he and his partner, Leonard Bailey, pioneered infant and pediatric heart transplantation. Together, they have performed more such transplants than any other transplant surgeons in the world.
During his tenure at Loma Linda, Dr. Gundry pioneered the field of xenotransplantation, the study of how the genes of one species react to the transplanted heart of a foreign species. He was one of the original twenty investigators of the first FDA-approved implantable left ventricular assist device (a kind of artificial heart). Dr. Gundry is also the inventor of the Gundry Ministernomy, the widely used minimally invasive approach to aortic- or mitral-valve repair, the Gundry Lateral Tunnel, a "living" tissue that can rebuild parts of the heart in children with severe congenital heart malformations; and the Skoosh™ venous cannula, the most widely used cannula in minimally invasive heart operations.
One of the fathers of robotic surgery, and a consultant to Computer Motion (now Intuitive Surgical), Dr. Steven Gundry received early FDA approval to use robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery for coronary artery-bypass and mitral-valve operations. He holds patents on devices for connecting blood vessels and coronary artery bypasses without sutures, as well as for repairing the mitral valve without the need for sutures or a heart-lung machine. He has served on the Board of Directors of the American Society of Artificial Internal Organs (ASIAO) and was a founding board member and treasurer of the International Society of Minimally Invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery (ISMICS). He recently completed two successive elected terms as President of the Board of Directors of the American Heart Association, Desert Division.
Dr. Gundry has been elected a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, the American College of Cardiology, the American Surgical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the College of Chest Physicians. He is a member of numerous other surgical and medical societies. As a medical researcher, Dr. Gundry has published three hundred articles, chapters, and abstracts in peer-reviewed journals on surgical, immunology, genetics, nutrition, plant-based diets, and lipid investigations.
In 2002, Dr. Gundry met someone who would change the trajectory of his career… and life. He crossed paths with an "inoperable" patient named “Big Ed”. Using a combination of dietary changes and nutraceutical supplements — Big Ed lost weight and cleared most of his arterial blockages. An obese, chronic "diet" failure himself, Dr. Gundry adapted his Yale University thesis to design a diet for himself based on evolutionary genetic coding.
On this diet, he lost weight — to the tune of 70 pounds — and reversed his own ailments, such as migraines, pre-diabetic status, and arthritis. He stopped eating sugar, grains, peanuts and cashews, nightshades and other lectin-heavy foods. Having experienced weight loss and the results of eating a lectin-free and gluten-free diet himself, and inspired by growing research involving the NIH’s Human Microbiome Project, his commitment to better health and longevity through a better diet solidified. His work creating nutraceutical products and supplements advanced.
No longer satisfied with repairing the damage of chronic diseases, Dr. Gundry open his own practice— The International Heart and Lung Institute and Center of Restorative Medicine in Santa Barbara and Palm Springs, California. His mission is to prevent and reverse chronic diseases of "aging" while increasing longevity with diet and nutraceutical products.
In order to help even more people heal themselves, Dr. Gundry began writing books outlining his eating program and eventually, he would create his own supplement line, Gundry MD. He’s always researching new methods, discovering better health solutions, and evolving his wellness philosophies. These theories are outlined in his bestselling books: Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You and Your Waistline; The Plant Paradox: The Hidden Dangers in "Healthy" Foods That Cause Disease and Weight Gain; The Plant Paradox Cookbook: 100 Delicious Recipes to Help You Lose Weight, Heal Your Gut, and Live Lectin-Free; The Plant Paradox Quick and Easy: The 30-Day Plan to Lose Weight, Feel Great, and Live Lectin-Free; The Longevity Paradox: How to Die Young at a Ripe Old Age; and The Plant Paradox Family Cookbook: 80 One-Pot Recipes to Nourish Your Family Using Your Instant Pot, Slow Cooker, or Sheet Pan.
He is now the leading expert on the lectin-free lifestyle as the key to reversing disease and healing a leaky gut. Dr. Steven Gundry freely shares his research on how to maintain a healthy microbiome and live a long, vital life via his best-selling books, YouTube channel, Gundry MD blogs, and weekly health podcast, The Dr. Gundry Podcast.
The Gundry MD site is a resource to learn about which foods to eat, like olive oil and pressure cooked lentils, and which to avoid, such as grains and goji berries. His work on balancing bacteria in your gut and aligning your lifestyle with the proper circadian rhythms has been groundbreaking. And he continues to research blue zones, best autoimmune practices, and lectin-free living. Gundry MD also provides information and tips about dealing with challenges like rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, and other health concerns that present in later years of life. He also explores the tenets of the Ketogenic diet (and other diets) and shares his expertise on all things “lectins”.
Gundry MD is also a proud sponsor of charity: water. charity: water is dedicated to building new ways to get clean drinking water to communities in need. A portion of every Gundry MD product sold is donated to charity:water.
Dr. Gundry lives with his wife, Penny, and their dogs in Palm Springs and Montecito, California. His two grown daughters live nearby. For more information about Gundry MD, tune into his podcast and YouTube episodes. www.gundrymd.com / www.drgundry.com

One reason why I wanted to read this book was because I read about Dr. Gundry's finding on the role of MCT oil in the keto diet, namely, that it might not be necessary to follow the traditional high-fat, low-carb keto diet to produce and use ketones. My biggest challenge has been social settings - I have had to break IF, and take carb blockers before lunch and dinner when eating out with my boyfriend who loves carb-loaded food (and wants me to join him by eating similar foods) every weekend. I don't want to get obsessed with being 'in keto' by using the keto test strips, but then I have been left unsure whether I am really in keto.
I am still reading this book (almost over) and have not tried the Keto Code program yet, but what I tell you about this book is it is so incredibly informative with science-backed evidence on why we should not need to restrict carbs intake, which fats to eat (instead of any fats in large content) to facilitate ketones production and all other benefits that come with such a way of eating, including the ability to eat foods with lots of fibers, which tends to be missing in the traditional keto diet but is so important in maintaining health.
Yes, it does get a bit repetitive with the importance of the mitochondria uncoupling and how it happens, but I love to learn new things and found this really interesting. He does explain pretty complex concepts well - and since these are complex concepts, they won't be explained adequately in 10 pages.
A lot of the things in this book make sense to me, and frankly, it has been such a comfort to know that I may - and probably should - be able to relax my dietary restrictions, especially since I am not overweight, just wanting to shed some weight to regain confidence in myself.

You will really be able to understand and introject the concepts of the heathy path he will give you throughout the book, and then it makes it much smoother to make the changes on your diet and get healthy! Thank's Dr. G! Your the best!
1. non ci sono evidenze scientifiche che provino alcunchè di quanto spiegato. (intendo dei trial veri).
2. tutto è fondamentalmente una serie di supposizioni basate su casi singoli non su vere statistiche.
3. non dimentichiamo che da anni vende a nome suo, a prezzi altissimi, integratori e fac-simili in america.
4. è stato più volte screditato da veri professionisti del settore su articoli scientifici. leggere recensioni sul libro precedente (the plant paradox).
Io capisco che oggi vada di moda screditare Big Pharma (quasi sempre a ragione) e andare controcorrente per forza, perchè tira e fa fare soldi facili, ma per favore un minimo di sale in zucca prima di buttare soldi.
Questi in america li chiamano Scammers.... ci sarà un motivo.
For a very few following the Keto Life Style Carnivore Keto may be a necessary and right choice. But most of us can and do enjoy salads and vegetables low in starch (almost all of which are allowed on the plant paradox programm).
Please, Dr. Gundry, clarify and correct this.
