Today on the show we have a very special surprise for you: a repost of Thought For Food's What's the Deal with Fiber episode that Aaron and I recorded back in February of last year as part of our Fiber February campaign. If you're a previous listener and follower of TFF then you'll remember this and will be a nice refresher, a blast from the past. But if you're new, my dear friend Aaron Stuber and I started a podcast back in 2016 called Thought For Food which was focused on evidence-based nutrition science and one of our hallmark things was the What's the Deal series, where we dove deep into a nutrition topic to look at the body of scientific literature to help you better understand potentially confusing areas of nutrition. Since Aaron and I have since stepped away from Thought For Food, yet I'm still quite nostalgic, I felt compelled to honor TFF by occasionally reposting old episodes here for good times sake. AND - I am planning on reviving and continuing the What's the Deal series here on In The Flow, so hopefully listening to this will get you stoked for that.
We break down everything you need to know about fiber from a zoomed out, public health perspective all the way down to the mechanisms of action at the physiology level. We’ll define fiber and talk about how much we need, and much more. Be sure to check out my Make Pooping Great Again TEDx talk which was born from the research done for this episode.
