Summary

Join Morgan as she meets with Olipop founders Ben and David, to discuss their partnership and venture into beverage entrepreneurship. They talk how their own health woes lead to learning about the gut microbiome and eventually disrupting the soda industry with Olipop. Their ground-breaking soda is high in prebiotic fiber low in sugar, natural botanicals (and Paleo, gluten-free, vegan & Non-GMO Project Verified, and contains 2g of sugar per can to boot!) With a team of international scientists, they developed their popular formula, and they discuss their upcoming clinical trials to study the effect of prebiotics & botanicals on the gut.

Plus, Primal Blueprint fans, rejoice: Morgan, Ben, and David talk about the indigenous hunter-gatherer's diet and the crucial elements that are missing in the standard American diet.
