What is Fibermaxxing ?

  • Relationship issues and the Pina Colada song. (3:00)
    • Couples can have issues when each person doesn’t treat their health the same way. (10:00)
    • Sometimes, family or partners can engage in sabotaging behaviors because they are uncomfortable with themselves. (14:00)
    • The reality is, you can not preach to others. It will not work. You can only take care of yourself. (16:00)
  • The fiber craze is back, but now it’s called “fibermaxxing.” (23:00)
    • The new recommendation from some influencers is over 100 grams per day, which is not only excessive but also unnecessary.
    • Colon health is important, but “maxxing” on fiber is unnecessary.
    • Psyllium husk is a gimmick. (28:00)
    • The current nutritional guidelines suggest 25g for women and 38g for me; as a result, they do some math. (29:00)
  • Vinnie shares the story from Chris McDougall called “Born to Run.” You can buy it from Vinnie’s book club here. (40:00) https://amzn.to/48zvDtm
  • Things that are good for your gut include real kombucha, kefir, plain whole-milk Greek yogurt, and fermented foods like kimchi and raw sauerkraut. (44:00)
