Episode 451: Stop Effing Around With Fiber (+ How to Make It Easier)
Episode 451
Tuesday, 20 October, 2026
Episode Overview When was the last time you thought about how much fiber you're eating? If you've spent years focusing on optimizing protein or cutting back on carbs, there's a good chance fiber hasn't been getting much attention. And Jen and Annie think it's time that changed. In this episode, they get personal about why fiber matters. With colorectal cancer affecting both of their families, they're especially passionate about helping women understand the bigger picture of their health and why making nutrition habit changes really matters. But knowing fiber is important and consistently eating enough of it are two different things. Jen and Annie discuss why so many North American women struggle to meet their fiber needs, including our reliance on convenience foods, lingering fears around carbohydrates, and the current obsession with protein. Then they get practical. You'll learn their Good, Better, Best approach to increasing fiber. They also share their favorite high-fiber foods, simple grocery-store swaps, easy ways to add fiber to meals you're already making, and a realistic example of what a higher-fiber day can look like. Because improving your nutrition doesn't have to mean overhauling your entire diet, tracking every gram, or forcing yourself to eat foods you don't enjoy. Sometimes it's as simple as changing the cereal you buy or adding a can of beans to dinner.
