High Fiber Diet: What to Eat, Why It Matters, And How to Do It Without Upsetting Your Gut

Send us Fan Mail

Fiber is everywhere right now. It’s being praised as the answer for gut health, blood sugar, cholesterol, hormones, and weight regulation, often all at once. And yet, for many people, actually trying to eat more fiber leads to the opposite of what they expected: bloating, discomfort, gas, or pain.

In this episode, Alyssa unpacks why the conversation around fiber has become so confusing, and why so many well-intentioned people feel worse when they follow generic “eat more fiber” advice.

You’ll learn:

• Why more fiber isn’t always better
• Soluble vs insoluble fiber (and why both matter)
• Fermentable fiber, resistant starch, and tolerance
• How fiber supports gut bacteria, bile flow, hormones, and blood sugar
• Why fiber can help with constipation and diarrhea
• How to add fiber without bloating or gas
• When a high fiber diet is not the right starting point
