Fiber Fueled with Will Bulsiewicz, MD, MSCI | MGC Ep. 34

In this episode I am talking with gastroenterologist and NYT bestselling author Will Bulsiewicz, MD about his book Fiber Fueled, as well as the implication his new insights about a plant-based diet have on our current chronic disease epidemic.
We talk about a wide range of topics, including the new science about the health benefits of fiber, and specifically the effect that fiber has on gut health, systemic inflammation, and a number of chronic diseases. Dr. Bulsiewicz also explains why he is a vegan, and what he does to promote a diet free of animal products.
