Celebrate National Extra Virgin Olive Oil Day With Gundry MD Polyphenol-Rich Olive Oil: Dr. Steven Gundry Unveils the Life-Changing Benefits of EVOO

From Heart Health to Gut Support, Discover Why Dr. Steven Gundry Calls Extra Virgin Olive Oil One of the Healthiest Superfoods

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- September 30th marks National Extra Virgin Olive Oil Day, a holiday dedicated to one of the most powerful and versatile superfoods on the planet. Extra virgin olive oil (often called EVOO) has been the cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet for centuries, cherished not just for its bold, peppery flavor but for its profound impact on human health.

According to Dr. Steven Gundry, world-renowned heart surgeon, researcher, and author of the bestselling Plant Paradox, EVOO is one of the single most important foods you can add to your daily diet.

What are the Benefits of Extra Virgin Olive Oil?

1. Supports Heart and Cardiovascular Health - EVOO is rich in monounsaturated fats and polyphenols, which help protect your arteries, combat oxidative stress, and promote healthy circulation. Dr. Gundry says that regular consumption of EVOO can help maintain cholesterol within a normal range, a crucial marker of heart health. Its antioxidant properties also help prevent plaque buildup, making it a natural ally for long-term cardiovascular wellness.
2. Boosts Gut Health and Microbiome Balance - Unlike other oils, EVOO contains more unique plant compounds called polyphenols that act as prebiotics, feeding the beneficial bacteria in your gut. A balanced gut microbiome is linked to better digestion, stronger immunity, and even improved mood. Dr. Gundry emphasizes that these polyphenols not only nurture your gut buddies but also help protect the lining of your intestines and promote whole-body health.
3. Supports Longevity - EVOO is loaded with hydroxytyrosol and other compounds that help calm the body. According to Dr. Gundry, incorporating EVOO daily is one of the easiest ways to extend healthspan and keep your body functioning at its best well into later years.

Not all olive oils are created equal. Many conventional brands on supermarket shelves have low polyphenol counts due to overprocessing and poor sourcing. That's why Dr. Gundry created Gundry MD® Polyphenol-Rich Olive Oil™, sourced from high-quality olives and designed to deliver up to 30x more hydroxytyrosol polyphenols than standard EVOO. This makes it one of the most potent and health-supporting olive oils in the world. With its robust flavor and nutrient density, it's not only delicious drizzled on salads or vegetables but also a true powerhouse for heart health and gut support.

Created by Dr. Steven Gundry, Gundry MD Polyphenol-Rich Olive Oil is carefully designed to take the already powerful antioxidant effects of traditional extra virgin olive oil to the next level.
