What if I told you everything you believed about sugar is wrong? That sugar isn't the reason you're fat, tired, or inflamed, and it might be the missing ingredient in your fat loss strategy.
In today's episode of The Super Human Life, host Frank Rich welcomes Shaun Hadsall, a fitness legend known as The Ripped Grandpa.
