73: How Does Fiber Help Lower Blood Sugar


Listen Later

Think fiber is just for digestion? Think again!

In this episode, we uncover the incredible benefits of fiber for type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. You’ll learn how adding more fiber to your daily routine can help lower your A1c, improve blood sugar control, reduce cholesterol levels, and even combat inflammation—all without adding carbs that spike blood sugar.

Discover why soluble fiber in particular, is so effective for blood sugar management, which foods provide the best sources, and why high-carb whole grains might not be the solution you’ve been told. We also cover one of the best fiber supplements for diabetes—one that can help lower fasting blood sugar, postprandial blood sugar, A1c, cholesterol and more. 

This episode is packed with actionable insights to help you get better results with your blood sugar levels.
