Shownotes

In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we’re diving into the latest wellness trend: fibermaxxing. We unpack the very real benefits of fiber, why variety matters more than simply chasing the highest number, and when a healthy goal can become another rigid diet culture rule. Plus, we’ll cover how to increase your fiber intake without wreaking havoc on your gut.

Here’s a run down of what we discussed in today’s episode:

• Why Fiber Is Finally Having Its Moment

• When Fibermaxxing Goes Too Far

• Is Fiber Becoming the New Protein?

• Why All Fiber Isn’t Created Equal

• Why Fiber Variety Matters for Gut Health

• When Healthy Eating Becomes Another Form of Control

• How to Increase Fiber Without the Bloating

• Why You Should Spread Fiber Throughout the Day

• Prioritize Fiber Variety Over Chasing a Number

• Your Fiber Goal Isn’t a Daily Purity Test
