I have enjoyed many of your podcasts, but I shared the one on fiber (Sept 7 2026) with my husband. He’s always so concerned about protein. I’m already sold on a plant forward diet and the importance of fiber, so I particularly welcomed this episode. I hope the presenters, who are high performance athletes, will impress him. Thanks.
