A Nurse's F-Bomb: Good Word For Great Health
We're talking F-words on the show today! That's right: Fiber! From gut health to glucose control, fiber is the unsung hero of your diet.
Registered Nurse and mom Kylie Buckner joins us to explain why she’s a fiber fanatic — and how she’s teaching her 3-year-old (a self-declared vegan) to love fiber, too. This plant-based advocate joins us to drop some F-bombs (family-friendly ones) and share everything you need to get started on adding more fiber to your diet.
She joined Chuck Carroll at the National Health Association conference in Cleveland.
In this episode of The Exam Room, you'll learn:
- How much fiber you actually need in a day (hint: it’s more than you think)
- How to talk to kids about gut health and good food
- How fiber slows sugar absorption and protects blood sugar
- Kylie’s go-to high-fiber foods that taste great
- How much protein you really need
- The best fiber-rich plant-based protein sources
