Description

Most of us have heard plenty about protein, but there’s another nutrient that can transform your meals and your health — and hardly anyone is getting enough of it. In this episode, we’re talking about fiber.


 


Fiber isn’t just about “staying regular.” It’s about making meals more exciting, more satisfying, and more powerful for long-term health. When you start to see fiber in this way, you'll realize it’s one of the simplest ways to improve the way you feel day to day while protecting your health for the future.


 


Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:


 


🔸 Why most Americans are getting only about half the fiber they need (and what that means for energy, cravings, and health)


 


🔸 The three F’s of fiber — Fresh, Fullness, and Flourish — and how they can reframe the way you look at your meals


 


🔸 A side-by-side example of two meals with the same calories and protein, showing how much more satisfying the high-fiber meal is


 


🔸 How fiber helps regulate blood sugar, manage cravings, and support steady energy


 


🔸 The surprising role of fiber in gut health, mood, cholesterol, and lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes and certain cancers


 


🔸 How much fiber you really need each day, and why many experts recommend aiming higher than the RDA


 


By the end of this episode, you’ll see fiber in a whole new light — not as the boring sidekick, but as the quiet powerhouse that can transform your meals, your energy, and your long-term health.
