The Fiber Fix: How to Boost Gut Health, Balance Hormones & Feel Like You Again (Episode 57)

Carrie Chojnowski Season 1 Episode 57

Think fiber is just about staying regular? Think again. In this episode, we’re diving deep into one of the most overlooked and powerful tools for midlife health: fiber. Whether you're struggling with bloating, constipation, blood sugar swings, or stubborn belly fat, this essential (and often under-consumed) nutrient could be the missing piece.

Carrie breaks down:
 – Why fiber matters way more than just digestion
– How it helps detox excess estrogen and support hormone balance
– What your gut microbiome has to do with your mood, metabolism, and immune health
– How to increase your fiber without the bloat
– Easy, delicious ways to sneak more fiber into your day (hint: kiwi skins and chia seeds!)

If you’ve been doing all the “right” things and still don’t feel like yourself, it might be time to look at your plate—because fiber could quietly be your body’s best ally in midlife and beyond.
