Fiber Maxing is the latest health trend, with people stuffing themselves with high-fiber sodas, donuts, and snack bars. But Dr. Gundry warns that not all fiber is created equal—and some of it might actually be wood shavings (Cellulose).
Dr. Gundry reveals why adding processed fiber to junk food doesn’t work and can actually cause bloating, gas, and gut damage. He breaks down a groundbreaking Stanford University study that showed taking fiber supplements alone changed nothing for inflammation or gut diversity. The secret missing ingredient? Fermented Foods.
Discover why combining fiber with fermented foods (like yogurt or sauerkraut) is the only way to lower inflammation. Plus, learn how the right kind of fiber can naturally stimulate GLP-1 (the "satiety hormone") to completely eliminate hunger.
In this episode, you will learn:
– The "Fiber Maxing" Trap: Why engineering fiber into donuts and sodas creates health problems instead of benefits.
-The "Hunger" Cure: How a water-fast study showed that 100 calories of prebiotic fiber completely eliminated hunger by producing GLP-1.
-The Stanford Study: Why healthy volunteers taking Inulin (fiber) saw zero benefits until they added fermented foods.
-The "Wood" Secret: Why the fiber listed on your snack label might actually be indigestible wood shavings (Cellulose).
-The Best Sources: Why you should eat the "Chicory Family" (Radicchio, Endive) and Artichokes instead of whole grains.
