This week on the podcast we are talking about something that everyone has heard of but most people aren't getting enough of...fiber. This nutrient is a powerhouse that has numerous health benefits but it is one of the many nutrients that Americans are simply not getting enough of. We are going to give you the run down on what fiber is, how it benefits our health, the different types of fiber and fiber supplements, and how to increase fiber in our diets the right way.
