If you guessed polyphenols, then you are absolutely RIGHT.

On this episode, I talk all about these amazing micronutrients, what they can do for your health, why my critics are WRONG about them, and the best (and worst) sources of polyphenols out there.

I also invite you to join me in celebrating all the wonderful benefits of polyphenols on June 11th, which is National Polyphenol Day. It’s a holiday my team created to educate folks about polyphenols — and it happens to also be my birthday!
