In this podcast episode, Dr. Rodney and Karen discuss the impressive health benefits of dark chocolate.

Dark chocolate, high in flavonoids, offers anti-aging properties, supports cardiovascular health, and improves the lipid profile when consumed regularly. It also aids in blood glucose management, enhances gut health through prebiotic fibers, and elevates mood by stimulating polyphenols.
