“Fiber exerts a wide array of beneficial health effects, influencing metabolic health, and may be an important, if overlooked, component of ketogenic diets. In this Aliquot, Dr. Michael Snyder, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss the benefits of dietary fiber.”

“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on Modern Wisdom, she explains why dietary fiber is a plausible first line of support for gastrointestinal elimination. Animal studies suggest that fermentable fiber or beta-glucans can bind microplastics or increase their excretion.”

“Foods such as oats, beans, berries, apples, mushrooms, onions, garlic, artichokes, green bananas, and cooked-and-cooled potatoes can help provide a varied mix. In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on the Jack Neel Podcast, she explains how fiber intake also relates to colon health.”

Dr. Layne Norton and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss why elimination can ease symptoms while fiber and plant foods support long-term health.

“The gut microbiome uses fiber to generate short-chain fatty acids that regulate the immune system. Fiber can also slow protein digestion, and vegetables can serve as a carrier for the extra fat that is consumed in the diet.”

“Beta-glucans are soluble fibers found in foods like oats and barley that are already known to lower LDL cholesterol by reducing bile-acid reabsorption in the gut. Because some long-chain PFAS travel through a similar pathway, researchers are now asking whether beta-glucans might also help the body eliminate these persistent "forever chemicals."”

“Generally, slow-twitch fibers are engaged in low-intensity activities and are more enduring, while fast-twitch fibers handle powerful, quick actions but fatigue faster. Human muscles are a mix of both, with elite athletes having more of one type depending on their specialization.”

“Sugar that is found naturally in fruits is complexed with fiber that slows down the absorption. In addition, whole foods have much less sugar in them than processed foods that have added sugars. In addition Dr. Krauss shares his feelings on the glycemic index. In this clip, Dr. Ronald Krauss explains how simple sugars are the culprit for many of the diseases he has studied.”

“A meta-analysis estimated about a 10 percent lower relative risk for each additional 10 grams of fiber consumed per day. Fiber can increase stool bulk, shorten transit time, and support microbial production of short-chain fatty acids.”
