I had the opportunity to chat with Dr. Michael Greger and ask him some questions. We talk about about soy, testosterone, cholesterol, nightshades, omega 3s, seitan and much more! As usual he gave some great answers.

Let me know what you thought of the interview down below! Should I get him on the channel again? I definitely have lots more questions for him as I am sure you do too!
