Dr. Gundry, I have to say, I like you better in this form (podcast) Rather than infomercial. Thank you for making this podcast about Costco shopping. Have a good day!

I love that you also select products packaged in glass instead of PLASTIC! Thank you for mentioning that.❤

Dr. Gundry, what are you snacking on? I want some!

1- Alaskan salmon, frozen is my go to fish! Thank you, Costco!

2- Canned sardines on my arugula salad is my go-to, packed in water (preferred) or olive oil only (not soy oil)

3- Canned tuna is OK if low mercury….Albacore canned, good to know. I have been avoiding tuna recently

4- Goat cheese with the sardine arugula salad, yummmm. Didn’t know about the logs not being fermented. Prefer fermented goat cheese always and go for goat feta.

5- Sheep cheese is some of my favorite. Pecorino and Manchingo. (Spelling?) — always a good choice because they are fermented.

6- Proscuitto is fermented. A surprising bit of news.

7- Italian Reggiano Parmesan and meat salami, charcuterie, must be from Italy, fermented traditionally.

8- Non meat options - hemp hearts.

9- Pistachio always and forever

10- Macadamia nuts—prefer raw!
but roasted is fine.

11- Walnuts: non organic is OK because it isn’t exposed to the herb and pesticides. But nice to support organic.

12- EVOO not in plastic. Big bottles not best. Organic in taller, smaller, round bottle.

13- Untoaated sesame oil

14- Dried herbs and spices

I started questioning everything, especially advice from government health organizations after reading 'Health and Beauty Mastery' by Julian Bannett, this book exposes so many shocking truths about the health industry.

Cracking pistachio nutt's has never slowed me down from eating them. 😂

Here I am eating a whole bag of siete chips dipped with guacamole while listening to him talking about not eating the whole bag…too late!

Costco is one of my favorite places! Thanks Dr Gundry for combining healthy foods with my favorite market. Truly a "win-win" situation! God bless!

Store nuts in the freezer to keep them from going rancid. They stay fresh forever and they don’t need to thaw if you are cooking with them.

As an indigenous Alaskan whose culture has depended on Alaskan salmon for survival for eons, I don't understand how costco can sell wild Alaskan salmon while thousands of Alaskan villagers are no longer allowed by state and federal restrictions to harvest our wild salmon.

A few items I didn't know Costco had, although I wish Costco had more Keto friendly items. I end up making everything homemade, shred my own cheese, mayonnaise, pizza sauce, pizza crust, salad dressing etc. Bummer is, when you find something you like, Costco stops selling it for some reason. Thanks for making this video Dr. Gundry! I'm headed to Costco now.

The concept of health in "The 23 Former Doctor Truths" book completely explains this. I wish I read it sooner.

I’m buying fish from Alaska from a local source, salmon, cod, shrimp, halibut . I don’t get fish at Costco anymore. The sardines are great though!. Cheese from Italy or France is my choice. Marcona almonds sometimes. Other wise, walnuts, pistachios, Brazil nuts ( vitamin 12}, I stay away from snack foods. Rather use carrots, celery etc to use with guacamole .thank you Dr Gundry!!!

Hydroponic growing food is easy. Also aquaponic is attainable. But we can eat great fish and fresh food if we pool in with friends, communities and neighbors. Hydroponic can be in a few bottles and grow lettuce, herbs and even cannabis for pain relief.

You have to read the labels, I pass on salami or any cold cut meats that have nitrates in them. I look for uncured cold cut meats that don't have nitrates in them. Even the ones from Italy can have nitrates in them. Always read the labels before buying any food you're not sure of.

[karlotom]

So if you don't have an autoimmune disease are almonds ok ?

[shamimanasreen]

With due respect, I admire your healthy choices. However, costco Kirkland basil pesto has seed oil, how would you advertise that? Frozen cauliflower - once in a video you advised to avoid frozen veggies then how come frozen cauliflower comes in your list? Costco individually packed guacamole comes in a plastic containers, how do you vote for that?
