I am obsessed with fiber and leafy greens, so I’m in good company with Dr. Will Bulsiewicz. He is a Vanderbilt undergrad. He went to Georgetown for medical school and completed his residency at Northwestern. He then followed that up with a fellowship at Chapel Hill. Now he’s a practicing gastro, he’s obsessed with plants and fiber, and he just published an awesome book, “Fiber Fuel: The Plant-Based Gut Health Program for Losing Weight, Restoring Your Health, and Optimizing Your Microbiome” — which I finished reading in just one night!
