What Are Polyphenols, and Why Do They Matter?
Polyphenols are natural compounds found in plants, particularly abundant in fruits, vegetables, tea, and—you guessed it—olive oil. These compounds have potent antioxidant properties, which means they help protect your body against oxidative stress and free radicals. This, in turn, can reduce inflammation and support heart health, brain function, and even longevity. The polyphenol content in olive oil has been linked to reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
What sets Gundry MD Polyphenol-Rich Olive Oil apart is its incredibly high polyphenol content—30 times that of regular olive oil. This allows you to get a significant dose of these health-boosting compounds with just a small amount of oil.
The Benefits of Gundry MD Polyphenol-Rich Olive Oil
1. Supports Heart Health
The high concentration of polyphenols in Gundry MD’s olive oil is specifically designed to support heart health. Studies show that polyphenols can help reduce blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, and prevent arterial damage. These benefits are critical for lowering your risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death worldwide.
2. Boosts Energy and Cognitive Function
Polyphenols' antioxidant properties also play a crucial role in brain health. By reducing oxidative stress in the brain, polyphenols may help enhance cognitive function, memory, and focus. Additionally, regular use of polyphenol-rich olive oil has been associated with improved energy levels due to its ability to support healthy mitochondrial function.
3. Promotes Healthy Skin
Looking for a natural way to achieve glowing skin? The polyphenols in Gundry MD Olive Oil help protect your skin from environmental damage, including UV rays and pollution. These antioxidants can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots.
4. Aids Digestion and Gut Health
Polyphenols are also known to promote gut health by feeding the beneficial bacteria in your digestive system. A healthy gut is linked to improved immunity, better digestion, and even better mental health. Gundry MD Olive Oil fits perfectly into Dr. Gundry’s Plant Paradox program, supporting a balanced microbiome and reducing inflammation in the digestive tract.

INGREDIENTS
5 tbsp Gundry MD's Polyphenol-Rich Olive Oil
1 c whole pecans
2 large sweet potatoes
1 large bunch of curly kale
2 whole lemons
1/2 red onion
1 pomegranate- seeds removed
2 oz of goat's Milk feta
iodized sea salt
black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place pecans on the baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes. Remove the pecans from the oven and increase the temperature to 400°F. Transfer the pecans to a plate to cool, and reuse the baking tray and parchment paper for the sweet potatoes in the next step.
Peel the sweet potatoes with a vegetable peeler and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking tray, drizzle with 3 tbsp of Gundry MD's Polyphenol-Rich Olive Oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 400°F.
Thinly slice the red onion and place it in a bowl. Squeeze the juice from both lemons over the red onions, using your fingers to coat the onion slices with the lemon juice. This process removes the harsh flavor, and the onions will turn bright pink. Set aside.
Remove the stems from the curly leaf kale and cut them into bite-size pieces with a knife. Place the pieces in a large bowl. Pro Tip: Use a large bowl with extra space to add the other ingredients later.
Drizzle the remaining 2 tbsp of Gundry MD's Polyphenol-Rich Olive Oil and a sprinkle of salt onto the kale. With clean hands, begin massaging the kale and rubbing the olive oil into the leaves until the kale loses firmness, becomes darker, and reduces in size by half.
While the sweet potatoes are still warm, transfer them, along with the red onions and lemon juice, to the kale bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon to combine.
Top with toasted pecans, pomegranate seeds, and goat's milk feta. Serve and enjoy.
Adding Gundry MD Polyphenol-Rich Olive Oil to your diet could be a simple yet effective way to boost your overall health. From heart and brain support to glowing skin and better digestion, this powerhouse oil provides a wealth of benefits.
