Jordan Lips is passionate about fibre - perhaps more than anyone else I’ve met - and maybe you should be too.
Jordan joins me for a deep dive into fibre, gut health, food variety, beans, lentils, supplements, misinformation, and practical ways to increase your intake without making yourself miserable.
We discuss:
• How much fibre someone actually needs
• Why fibre intake is about more than hitting one number
• Whether you can gradually “train your gut” to tolerate more fibre
• Why increasing fibre too quickly can cause problems
• The different types of fibre and why variety matters
• Whole-food fibre versus supplements and fortified foods
• The major health benefits associated with fibre-rich diets
• Misleading anti-fibre messaging, including claims from the carnivore community
• Gas, bloating, FODMAPs, and when fibre needs more nuance
• What “Fibremaxxing” is and whether it is actually a problem
• Practical strategies for increasing fibre
• Easy ways to increase food variety
• Why Jordan is such a passionate advocate for beans and lentils
• Why legumes deserve a better reputation
• Canned versus dried beans
• Batch cooking and freezing legumes
• How to gradually ramp up fibre intake
• Whether tracking fibre is useful
• Why it is spelled “fibre” in some countries and “fiber” in others
• HYROX, gastrointestinal distress, and perhaps more discussion of diarrhea than anyone expected
• And much more
