Dr Gundry Says Take an Olive Oil Shot for National Polyphenol Day

By now you know when it comes to polyphenols, I’m a BIG fan. I’ve written about the power of polyphenols for health since my very first Paradox book, and five years later, I’m only more convinced of the importance of loading up your diet with polyphenol-rich food for longevity and healthy weight.

Why am I crazy about polyphenols? They’re an amazing plant compounds that feed friendly bacteria, boost your body’s natural ability to lose unnecessary weight and change your gut microbiome for the better.
