In today's episode, I discuss the power of eating a wide diversity of plants – which, doesn't only include fruits and veggies (what we commonly think of when we think about plants), but also in unprocessed, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes.

We touch on:

–The role plants play in getting us adequate levels of fiber and why fiber is so absolutely crucial to our health.

–How plants contribute to blood sugar regulation and why blood sugar regulation is so important.

–What phytochemicals are, how we get them, and the role they play in preventing disease.
