Dr. Steven Gundry is a renowned heart surgeon and New York Times bestselling author of “The Plant Paradox” and “The Plant Paradox Cookbook.”
Sorry I am confused. Dr Gundry should I skip breakfast? I read your latest book and find it easy to stop eating for 14/15 hrs 5days a week. After listening to your latest podcast I am not sure. I am in my 60’s.
Also with olive oil is there a difference between the level of polyphenols according to the flavour of mild / medium and strong?
Ps I love all your books, podcasts and twitter info and can’t live without my complete plant shake.
