In this episode of The Art of Living Well Podcast, Stephanie and Marnie shine a spotlight on one of the most overlooked yet essential components of a healthy diet: Fiber. 🌾✨

With a staggering 95% of Americans not getting enough fiber, they dive into the why behind this dietary shortfall and explain how fiber plays a powerful role in supporting gut health, digestion, detoxification, and overall wellness.

You’ll learn about the different types of fiber, how much you really need (hint: it’s more than you think!), and simple, delicious ways to incorporate more fiber-rich foods like raspberries and beans into your meals.

Stephanie and Marnie also explore the importance of tracking your fiber intake, staying hydrated, and when fiber supplements may be helpful—without replacing the benefits of whole foods.

Whether you’re on a health journey or just want to stay regular (yep, we said it!), this episode will leave you inspired and informed to make easy, lasting changes.

Key Takeaways:

95% of Americans are fiber-deficient
Women need 25–30g daily; men need even more
Fiber improves digestion, detox, and the gut microbiome
Beans and berries = budget-friendly, fiber-packed superstars
Supplements can help, but whole foods should lead the way
Regular bowel movements = major health marker
