Fiber is often overlooked in discussions about diet, weight loss, and immunity because it has no

calories, but it shouldn't be missed. Fiber is essential for digestive health, improving gut motility, and regulating bowel movements.

It also plays an important role in weight management because high fiber foods are more filling,

and fiber reduces the glycemic load of food so that can help prevent metabolic

syndrome metabolic diseases of all types. Fiber is crucial in your

microbiome health. It serves like a prebiotic to feed the beneficial

gut bacteria. These can impact things like immune function, mental health, and so much

more. There's even robust evidence showing that fiber can reduce

ldLC cholesterol, potentially lowering your risk of heart disease.

The issue is that most of us don't need enough fiber and when we do we don't need

enough variety, the different types of

fiber and other prebiotics. My guest on this week's podcast is a

Gastroanterologist who literally wrote the book on fiber he'll share his best insights with you on healing your gut.
