I watched Dr. Gundry's entire video after making a pact with myself that I would watch to the end (knowing that it would, of course, be trying to sell me something) and do my best to suspend my usual skepticism and cynicism about any product that claimed to change one's life. As an ancillary medical professional for over 40 years (an occupational therapist) who has treated thousands of people with a variety of chronic health issues, I had never heard anyone describe anything as "leaky gut". The term sounded too simplified to be medically sound. My judgments aside, I continued watching and was impressed by the empirical research that had been done to support Dr. Gundry's theories. Other products I have seen over the years made claims that did not have any basis in "scientific method" (hence, my skepticism).
The diet recommendations - I kept a sidebar open to look at these more critically while watching the video - made sense to me, with some similarities to the Paleo diet, and did not seem unattainable. When it got to the anticipated part of trying to sell me something, I held my nose and went through the process, thinking it wouldn't hurt to try it (and it would be next to impossible for me to get all of the recommended supplemental foods separately on my own) and purchased a one-month supply of Total Restore, just to see.
I'm 64 years old and have had what I considered to be the usual complement of aches and pains, belly aches after eating, and mildly diminished cognitive processing speed that accompanies my age. I have been diagnosed by a cardiologist with coronary artery disease, with considerable blockage seen on a cardiac calcium scan, as well as hypertension and hypercholesterolemia, for which I take daily medications. After two weeks of taking Total Restore, as directed, and diligently following the diet recommendations, I subjectively felt more energetic and, more importantly, discovered that my blood pressure had gone down, with no change in my medications. I was not necessarily trying to lose weight (although I was 10 pounds over my ideal weight) and, after 2 weeks, discovered that I had lost seven pounds. My family and I just got back from a 10-day trip to the UK (where it's quite a challenge to follow the diet) in which everyone else in the extended family (15 people) came down with a bad cold except me (and I've always been the first one to get sick). I cannot and will not make a claim that the diet and Total Restore have improved my immune system but adherence to the regimen is the only difference I can report between me and everyone else in the family.
I opened my laptop this morning to order more Total Restore and, randomly to me, saw this email requesting a review. I am pleased to have the opportunity to state my extreme satisfaction with the program and my recommendation to others to try it.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
