In this video you'll learn:
The average American gets around 15 grams of fiber a day. The recommended amount is more than double that. And most people are still falling short — by a lot.
I break down exactly how I reach 60 grams of fiber on a typical day, why the official guidelines may be set lower than the evidence supports, and what the research from traditional populations eating 100+ grams a day actually tells us about gut health and chronic disease.
• Why 30 grams a day looks more like a floor than a target — what a major Lancet review found when researchers looked above the official recommendation
• The populations with the lowest rates of heart disease ever recorded and what their daily fiber intake actually looks like
• Why the foods that feel fibrous in your mouth are often not the ones doing the real work
• The single food category that accounts for roughly a third of my daily fiber intake — and why most people are barely eating it
• A full meal-by-meal breakdown of a real day, with the fiber totals added up as we go
• What the right fiber target actually looks like based on your size and calorie intake — and why 60 grams is not the right number for everyone
If you have a bowel condition or any history of digestive surgery, speak with your own physician before making significant changes to your fiber intake.
