Welcome to today’s episode! Dr. Barb takes a deep dive into psyllium, an often-overlooked yet powerful fiber that may be the missing link in unlocking optimal metabolic health. Did you know that most of us aren’t getting nearly enough fiber in our diets? That’s right, and it’s more important than you might think. Not only is fiber crucial for digestion, but new research is shining a light on psyllium’s unique ability to help balance blood sugar, lower cholesterol, and support healthy weight management. Join Dr. Barb as she explores how this versatile fiber can play a vital role in optimizing metabolic health in ways that may surprise you.

In this episode Dr. Barb covers:

  • Fiber - the missing nutrient in our modern diets
  • What is psyllium husk
  • How psyllium influences our digestive health
  • The role psyllium plays in our blood sugar regulation
  • How psyllium has the ability to lower cholesterol levels
  • Could this fiber be used for weight management
  • How to incorporate psyllium into your routine
