Summary
Sugar can literally hijack your brain and disrupt healthy microbiome. Research shows that sweets come with a painful dark side that can destroy your backside as harmful bacteria thrives on the sugar you eat.

Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, gastroenterologist and bestselling author of Fiber Fueled, delivers expert insight on the gut-brain axis and how intense sugar cravings can override common sense and drive you to eat endless amounts of empty calories.
Dr. B. joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room LIVE.
