Will Bulsiewicz
In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz argues that gut health is the key to boosting metabolism, balancing hormones, and reducing inflammation. He presents a 28-day program with menus and over 70 plant-fueled recipes, emphasizing the importance of dietary fiber from a variety of colorful plants.
