Steven R Gundry

Did not have a good experience - basically abandoned me when i had any questions. He IS, amazingly, a licensed california MD, and I registered a complaint with the medical board - they told me that although i am only one of many, to still register the complaint as is still important for future action. Certainly forgot his oath to first do no harm. He has also spoken of bankruptcy and I have no desire to further fund a licensed md who has become a chumbucket racket, even with the blue glasses - he should join chaikin investing !

I reached out to Dr. Gundry's office in July to help me with the aftermath of chemo. For the past 18 months, I have been battling stage three cancer and its toll on my body. My decision was influenced by his ad on Instagram, with promising solutions for inflammation and gut issues. Debbie, from his office emailed that a series of blood draws and labs would be required, for a cost of $1300 to $1600 which my insurance would not cover. The email listed two labs for me to contact, with a specific directive not to use Quest or Lab Corp. Tracy Brown from LL Labs called me, an entity not mentioned in the email, to schedule an appointment for an out of pocket fee. I was left perplexed as to how they acquired my contact, considering privacy laws. I soon learned that Laurie Acuna, the founder of LL Labs, is also an employee in Dr. Gundry's office. On 9/19 When Laurie arrived at my home, she did not use the vials provided by the lab companies. Instead, she took all the boxes containing the vials, which raised concerns about the handling of my medical information. On 10/2, Luz at Dr. Gundry's office emailed me, stating that the test called Myeloperoxidase (MPO) needed to be retested, as the phlebotomist had failed to provide a sample, requesting that I go to Quest for the redraw. When I contacted Tracy at LL Labs, she appeared displeased and promptly ended the conversation. On 10/5, I received an email from Susan Lokken, Dr. Gundry's office manager, saying that the error lay not with the phlebotomist but rather with Cleveland, for losing the vial. Once again, I reached out to Tracy at LL Labs, and her response was terse and unhelpful. I explained that shortly I would be undergoing two challenging surgeries, all while battling pneumonia. She agreed to send Laurie back for one vial of blood, albeit at a very high additional cost, which took me by surprise. I left a message for Dr. Gundry's office to try to resolve this issue. On 10/18, the day after my mastectomy, I received an email from Jessenia P. in Dr. Gundry’s office, asking me to go to Quest for the blood draw. In response, over email, I expressed my disappointment, explaining that the purpose of paying LL Labs was to avoid the long lines at a lab. I subsequently received an email from Susan Lokken, Dr. Gundry's office manager informing me, "there was no mistake made and no one failed". She said I had high potassium levels in my blood sample so they could not run the (MPO) test." She emphasized that this was not LL Labs' fault. I encountered three different explanations for the missing vial of blood. Only two weeks prior, Ms. Lokken had emailed me that the Cleveland Lab had most likely lost the vial of blood. At every juncture, the priority seemed to be protecting their colleague, the founder of LL Labs. Unfortunately, I had no recourse with LL Labs, given that it is a family-run enterprise, leaving no avenue for addressing grievances. Ms. Lokken informed me that she was the only office manager for Dr. Gundry's practice and asserted that nothing unethical had occurred. She firmly defended LL Labs, and declared they did "NOTHING" wrong and there was nothing more to discuss, essentially dismissing my concerns. She further accused me of impoliteness toward staff, a matter that left me perplexed, as the majority of my interactions with Dr. Gundry's office occurred through email due to difficulties reaching anyone by phone. It is a familiar tactic, often employed by unprofessional office staff when faced with patient concerns - attempting to deflect the issue by blaming the patient for being abusive. I am left with concerns about the treatment of patients in this practice. While I understand that misunderstandings occur, I believe it is important to prioritize patient care, open communication, and empathy. I question whether these principles are consistently upheld within this office. Patients who seek out Dr. Gundry's office are dealing with very difficult health issues and should receive the highest standard of care and support. Unfortunately, that is not the case here.

New patient getting on the‘ waiting list for appointment

This seems to be a scam. Me and my wife tried the Total Restore and end up with Gas issues immediately.

Be careful of Doctor Gundry, he told my 75 year old dad who is traveling to a developing South American country to not get the covid vaccine, even though the doctor himself has received the vaccine. I have had some of his supplements and they seem fine but I did not notice a difference with or without them.

Primal Plants FEELS deeply nourishing, but I don't like the apple-taste.

Dr. Gundry has a wonderful book, which helped me lost some weight and feel good. Would love to stop by. Someday and talk.. thank you!

I find Dr. Gundry's supplements to be very expensive and have bought several different ones without seeing any improvement or the advertised advantage of purchasing them. I'm very disappointed in his products.

The company has taken it upon themselves to set me up on recurring orders that I didn't do, I never do with anyone. So, I will NEVER order anything else from this company that I can't trust. And I will definitely dispute this charge with my credit card company.

Having watched the video through a CCN click bait link I was very interested but it sounded to good to be true. I happened to be in Pam Springs where his clinic was located so drove over to get a sense of it before I dropped $600 on bottles.

I would rate lower if I could! Our credit card company called less than twelve hours after placing one order and it became five charges! When I phoned they explained I couldn’t stop the other four orders! I’ll never do business with him again!!!!!

Fructo-Oligosaccharides in Vital Reds. Be aware that Vital Reds contains 250 mg of FRUCTOSE which is like drinking a can of SODA. FRUCTOSE is know to cause cancer and make you FAT. Terrible for people that are trying to loose weight. And also added Natural Flavors?? and Guar Gum??. That is all SUGAR. No wonder Vital Reds tastes EXTREMELY SWEET. I do not call that being HEALTHY DR. GUNDRY. You need to remove all this unnatural substances from your so called HEALTHY PRODUCT. That is a JOKE. Fructo-Oligosaccharides in Vital Reds.

I've been enjoying the product however virtually EVERY time I reorder, the order gets fouled up. My most recent order was shipped to an old address and returned to sender - even though I've received correctly addressed shipments prior. Prior on-line order attempts necessitated phoning in the order accompanied with a verbal apology that their systems were being upgraded or were down - for two years? After 7 minutes of trying to fix this most recent occurrence with the operator - verifying information they already had in their system - including credit card info already on file. I said sorry but I don't have the time to invest in this product/service any more - I don't really need it THAT bad! The marketing is great and believable - to bad someone(s) on their systems team has been screwing things up.

He's a Snake Oil Selling Quack!

A doctor living in Palm Springs with a infomercial on the web that lasts forever and says not to much.................Sounds like another California SCAM.............QUACK QUACK

What an arrogant fraud. He didn't discover anything new or original all he is doing is taking from what thousands of "Natural Health Care Providers" have been preaching for 50 years. Absolute joke.

I just went on your site to buy the vitamin but you have charged me 3 times and the phone number is incorrect any information on how to stop these charges ? Please help me

For the past few days I have been getting this disgusting ad below in my emails and there's nothing I can do to get rid of it. I don't know what Grundy MD does and I don't want to find out because I'm too grossed out and annoyed by the ad. Tasteless!

I have received several fraudulent emails from GUNDRY all billed to another person however invoices all sent to me. After I have contacted them on several occasions to correct this and requested they remove my name and phone contact from their database, they continue to harass me by sending the same invoices again and again. I have threatened to call the FTC, and Gundry didn't care, they kept on harassing me by sending invoices. I was polite the first time, not as polite the second time, the third attempt, the woman "Lacyee" said "how do I know it's your email address." This company doesn't care that they harass, that your contact info is misused. FRAUDULENT and NEGLIGIBLE! BEWARE!!!

I bought the Polyphenol dark spot diminisher lotion. The face cream lotion did not work at all. The dark spots on my face are exactly the same after one month - follow the direction exactly. Please do not buy, waste of your money,.

Having now taken primal plants and vital reds for a year I'm not really sure whether I'm more healthy or not as if so it sure hasn't shown in my blood tests. My recent one showed no change in my high cholesterol and my blood sugar level up from my previous test though we eat healthy and watch our weight along with exercising. The cost of his products are phenomenal which definitely has led me to question his products. Along with that his website for us sucks as after creating an account we can not logon with our email address yet we get all the email promo's from them at that email. We've contacted the web support multiple times with a whole lot of BS for answers with finally their saying we have to call any orders in. What site does this. Also, have read some of his answers online which customers have asked of him yet there is no place on the site to ask a question to Dr. Gundry and my last email asking how to ask him a question remains unanswered. With this lack of support and the expense I'm left to feeling much of his products are unsubstantiated and thus are going to save my money with no more orders from me unless he can publish documented proof that they do what they touted to do and not just people saying I "feel great" Lastly, he recently came out with great heart supplement! Thought that was what the Vital Reds was for? So how confusing can it be, do we take one or all of them making him more wealthy and us really not getting the benefit proclaimed.

I ordered ONE jar of $49 dollar vitamins (which they were supposedly running out of). Immediately upon having my card 4 different firms (all part of the Steven Gundry umbrella) charged additional vitamins to my card, and a service called Abs after 40. Chase fraud alert called and notified me; I had to cancel my card (while on vacation, very inconvenient). I spoke to Abs after 40 (who called me because their charge was declined) and they explained these firms are all "subs" of Steven Gundry. I really liked the infomercials I saw, and thought this could be different - but it's not. Chase insisted I change my card number because they said I am at risk for further charges if I don't.

I ordered 3 jars with a 90 day money back guarantee for 150.00. I tried 1 jar for 30 days regardless how horrible it made me feel (bloating, worse gas in my life and bad stomach pains) because DR. GUNDY suggest you give it a chance.. so when I returned the 2 remaining jars with an explanation they only refunded me 95.00 because I didn't return the empty jar that I used. They never told me I had to return the empty jar to get my full refund of 150.00.. I learned a valuable lesson thanks to DR. GUNDY..

I am a pharmacist specializing in alternative health care. I am a diabetic with type 2 diabetes. I read The Plant Paradox and became Dr. Gundry's disciple. I have recommended this book to so many of my customers and friends and relatives. I have adopted his diet and it is working for me. I admire his work. I live in Palm Springs for 6 months out of the year. I have called the clinic a few times, left messages. I have written a few e-mails asking someone there to please get back to me since I need help. I am trying to give up my medications and I have already given up one half the dose. I wanted to know what kind of tests does Dr. Gundry recommend etc. They are not taking any new patients but the least they could do is to get back to me. Why is that most of these doctors who come up with amazing concepts, write such books, start out helping people end up becoming this annoying e-marketers bombarding you with these these e-mails that are so not professional. He has time to sit there and partake in such practice but no one there has time to get back to a patient in need. I guess the need to get rich and make money takes over any initial "doing good deed" need gets lost. I guess the old say-- money is the root of all evil" still holds true. It really is a shame!

Added to the pre' with a 1500 calorie diet. Lots of water. Went at it for two weeks now. Gained 3 pounds first week, added another this week. Up 4 from where I began. The stuff clogged up in my kitchen sink. Had to use vinegar and baking soda to loosen it up enough I could just watch dishes. Returning it as soon as I finish this. No need to gain weight with this when I can easily do it with ice cream and cookies. Balderdash. On, you're wondering why the clogged drain? The mixture doesn't disolve in water.

The taste isn't bad. Early days yet but I haven't noticed any major changes so far. I'll keep plodding along. I expect it will be worth it.

I was taking this primal plants to see if it would help my skin and help me to loose weight and see to if it would hel my digestitve issues. It did, but minmially.

This review is for primal plants powder. I actually can tolerate the taste unlike many green powders. It has a slight apple taste. My biggest criticism is the price and the hype. I almost didn't buy because I am so so so so tired of that type of psychologically manipulative marketing. It is insulting and off-putting, but I bought anyway. I can't believe someone that accomplished would allow his reputation to become so spammy, and that if he truly cared about people he would have his products at a more reasonable price so that more people could benefit. Dr Gundry - My fair review and opinion is address people with less manipulation, don't sell out your accomplished life and all you seemingly have done, trying to make more money on over-priced supplements.

I like it but like Primal reds better and though they are different things and I also take a B 12 shot I have noticed that unless I take the Plants later in the day I get some Niacin flushing. I don't like that. However, I do think it is a really healthy choice and my husband has also been taking it and not having any problems.

It's only been about 2 weeks so I am still adjusting to it and haven't really noticed any changes yet. I did find that if I drank it in the morning before eating anything and with room temperature water, I broke out in a heat rash that was very itchy. It lasted about 30 minutes. It happened about 3 times but I now drink it with cold water after eating breakfast and it seems to be fine. It tastes very good though! I do seem to have more energy than before but my digestion has not changed. I guess I will have to wait and see.

Better taste that other green powder blends

Like everything about it except that the taste. It is too sweet

Seems to give me lots more energy and I am more alert.

The results are as stated the taste is a little too sweet

Less colds and allergy illnesses, more energy, better sense of general well being.

The taste is not as good as vital reds, but it is not disgusting...

Love the taste and hope it is helping me ( have not been taking long enough to know )

More energy for sure and I think my face is looking better.

No results except for prebiothrive. Excellent results. Still waiting on other two products.

Its early for any results. I've been taking the Vital Reds and have noticed less hip pains.

The primal plants seem to make me feel better! Although the taste could be better

I seem to have more energy than I did before. I have ordered more of the product to take me through the winter.

Pleasant tasting. Easy to use. Starting to notice clearer skin. Price point is a little high. Will continue to use and good possibility of ordering more.

The Primal Plants is too sweet with artificial sweetener. Trying to diminish my sweet tooth and it does not help.

Primal Plants seems a pleasant way of boosting health benefits and because i never liked the flavour of Heart Health i combine the two to give myself a double boost.

Have only been taking it for a month, my wife and myself both. We both have been feeling better only thing is that don't know if it's a side effect or not but both of us have been having looser bowl movements then before taking Primal Plants.

I would recommend this product to anyone, especially if they are struggling with low energy levels. In my case its the most noticeable change in my life (3 wks using primal plants)

I have used Primal Plants for nearly 3 weeks now and have noticed an increase in energy. I haven't lost any weight, but that may take a little longer as I only need to lose about 15 lbs.

I am drinking this everyday. My energy has increased and my mind is sharper. It is a little sweet to my taste, but I just add more water Mahalo for a quality product that delivers!

Taste is good. I have had days where I got a burst of energy after I had my Primal Plants. I will continue to take it to confirm how it makes me feel.

I have been taking grass drinks with fruit, so I have added Primal Plants to those morning shakes. Somehow, it takes me so long to make and clean up after these shakes, and I keep wishing that they were in CAPSULE FORM to save me time and help me get where I am going. I hate to waste the lumpy powered remains after I shake up or stir a mix and drink it. So I try to get that part stirred up and drunk as well. I have missed every day this week, since last Friday, but somehow, I know my life and health would be better if I had taken the time.... It is now Tuesday night.

I've noticed a little increase in energy, and that's with not taking it every day. I don't take anything bur water or tea or broth on the days I fast. If I took them on my fasting days, would it ruin the benefits of the fast? I look forward to the possibility of taking hem for often. Thx!

I cannot give too much information as we have only been using this for about 3 weeks. It seems that our skin has improved, my husband tends to have ruddy skin and I notice it is evening out. My skin seems to look better too. I give a 4 star because I am not sure, if we can increase evidence that it is this product making the difference it is a definite 5 star.

The results from the primal plants are excellent and I will continue to purchase and use it. The taste however is very strong and pungent and I haven't quite worked out to dilute. That is the only reason I don't give it 5 stars.

I caught the worst cold I have had this year so we know it's not for helping that sinaro but I'm still taking it and in the long run it may be a pick me up. I will say it tastes good and mixes well with protein drinks. I'm not into placebos but suggestion does give rise to good results occasionally.

I do feel a moderately higher level of energy and my insomnia has improved slightly as well, but I've only been taking the product for a little over a week. I expect the effects will improve after I've been taking it over a longer period. My only complaint is the price.

I feel healthy with more energy. Bowels are good and regular. I would recommend this product for health and well being. My wife feels the same, but has experienced bad breath while taking the supplement.

I do like the green apple taste. However, I am now taking approximately 4 GundryMD supplements and it is difficult to separate the impact of one supplement from another. Overall, the combined effect is quite positive. I sleep better and have more energy. Although I can see where my rate of metabolism has increased, my weight has not really gone down, one of my personal goals. I am hopeful now with the GundryMD weight loss supplement.

I just reordered a supply of Vita Reds and was given a small supply of Primal Plants as an incentive. I'm 72 and enjoy kayaking, motorcycling, and off-road atv'ing, along with boating and camping. I wasn't happy with my 72 year old energy level so I tried Vita Reds and they didn't seem to do much initially. I was contacted by Dr. Grundy's representative who encouraged me to not give up, to order more Vita Reds. He also said he would send Primal Plants with my order. I think the 2 products together just might be the "key to the door". I find I take fewer naps, so I sleep deeper. That in itself is a great step forward. I'm very fortunate to be naturally pretty healthy. I think Dr. Grundy is on to something and my increased energy is enough proof for me.
