Author Dr. Steven Gundry in school, his interest was in Human Evolutionary Biology -- an interest that has informed all of his medical work, but that has become particularly relevant in his current work with the Diet Evolution program. He completed his undergrad degree in the Honors program at Yale University, graduated Alpha Omega Alpha from the Medical College of Georgia School of Medicine, 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. At the NIH, he developed methods and treatments to prevent and reverse damage in coronary arteries and heart muscle cells -- a precursor to his later inventions. Upon recognizing the power of proper diet and lifestyle choices on health and longevity, Gundry left his post at Loma Linda University to open The International Heart and Lung Institute. There, he began offering the Diet Evolution program to former heart surgery patients as a restorative method. Before long, however, others began showing up, looking for help in their weight loss and health. He continues to practice surgery part-time, but most of his days are devoted to training and supporting people in the methods of the Diet Evolution. Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You and Your Waistline details the exact program that has changed the lives of so many of Dr. Steven Gundry's patients. And in three stages, he explains how you can do the same. Gundry's background is in heart surgery, and he had become accustomed to "fixing" the body's warning signs in his patients through drug prescriptions and surgeries. In 2001, however, everything changed for him. He met a patient who had reversed severe and inoperable arterial damage simply by changing his diet. Gundry then began studying the effects of diet through a human evolutionary biology lens and started to develop the Diet Evolution. As he worked with patient after patient, guiding them through the program, he consistently saw the same results: completely regained health, along with substantial weight loss. He left his position as a cardiothoracic professor and department chair to build a new career advocating this new-found knowledge.The premise of the program is simple: Human genes evolved over time to make certain specific interpretations about you based on the foods that you consume. Your genes' #1 objective is to preserve and propagate the species -- and you are either helping that endeavor, or you're hindering it.The foods you eat, meanwhile, act like keys that unlock certain codes in your genes. Just like the Internet is vast and essentially limitless in what you can do with it -- your genes hold nearly infinite possibility. And just like typing an address into a Web browser, which tells your computer where specifically to go, the food you eat tells your genes what specifically to do.The modern diet sends messages to your genes that indicate that you are interfering with the continuation of the species. Consequently, your genes unleash killer processes that cause you to deteriorate more quickly.By reversing your diet backward in time -- so that it more closely resembles that of our early ancestors -- you can send new signals to your genetic autopilot that shuts down those killer processes and turns on life-giving processes.The Diet Evolution is a three-phase program that gradually transitions you from a modern diet to a largely plant-based, raw diet.
