People get so fixated about the kinds of foods they eat — spanning the wide gulf from veganism all the way to keto-centered diets — they often forget that what’s good for their health today may not be their best choice tomorrow. No single diet fits all people every day of their lives, a message you’ll hear loud and clear and often as Paul talks to Wade Lightheart and Matt Gallant of BiOptimizers about their new book, The Ultimate Nutrition Bible, in this delicious Living 4D conversation.
