Center for Restorative Medicine

The Center for Restorative Medicine is a specialized healthcare institute founded by Dr. Steven Gundry, a former cardiothoracic surgeon turned functional medicine pioneer. The center focuses on treating chronic and autoimmune conditions through 'restorative medicine,' an approach centered on gut health, microbiome optimization, and the elimination of inflammatory dietary proteins known as lectins. Operating clinics in Palm Springs and Santa Barbara, the center serves as a hub for Dr. Gundry's clinical research and the development of the 'Plant Paradox' dietary protocols. Its business model integrates medical consultations with a broad commercial line of wellness products and supplements marketed under the Gundry MD brand.
