Contrary to popular belief, not all sugars are harmful to your health. Polysaccharides—a type of complex carbohydrate—highlight how certain sugars can actually support your immune system and overall well-being.

Found in whole grains, vegetables, and legumes, these long-chain carbs play essential roles in cellular repair, immune health, and reducing inflammation. In today’s episode, Dr. John E. Lewis joins us to explore the real science behind sugars, anti-nutrients, common misconceptions, and more in this episode on Polysaccharides.

Dr. John E. Lewis is the Founder and President of Dr. Lewis Nutrition™ and former Associate Professor at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. With over 180 peer-reviewed publications and $23 million in research funding, Dr. Lewis is a pioneer in the study of nutrition, supplements, and exercise for disease prevention and cognitive health.

He’s also known for his viral TEDxMiami talk on Alzheimer’s and is a passionate advocate of whole-food, plant-based living combined with rigorous exercise for optimal health and longevity.
