Summary
Is raw food or cooked food better for your gut? Gastroenterologist and gut health expert Dr. Will Bulsiewicz joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room to review the pros and cons of each and give his opinion.
We open up the Doctor's Mailbag to answer your questions during this live Q&A!
