Fiber, the microbiome, and calorie absorption

While January is flooded with detoxes, fasting protocols, and SkinnyTok extremes that rarely last past a few weeks, this episode focuses on an evidence-based habit that actually supports satiety, blood sugar balance, gut health, and sustainable weight regulation. I break down why fiber is one of the most under-consumed nutrients despite its massive benefits — and why prioritizing it is a far better use of your energy than chasing restrictive trends.

This excerpt comes from Part 1, Chapter 2: Goodbye Diets, Hello Satiety and Your Healthiest Weight, and offers a grounded, realistic entry point into nourishing your body without falling back into diet culture traps.
