Fiber for Women Over 40: Constipation, Cholesterol & Hormone Support


Listen Later

If you’re constipated, bloated, or your cholesterol is creeping up… fiber might be the missing piece — and you’re probably doing it wrong.

In this episode, I break down soluble vs. insoluble fiber in plain English — what they actually do in your body, how they affect constipation, cholesterol, heart disease risk, and blood sugar… and how much fiber you really need each day.

Most people aren’t getting enough — and increasing it the wrong way can make things worse.

We’ll talk about:

  • The best high‑fiber foods
  • Whether Metamucil or psyllium actually works
  • How to increase fiber without gas and bloating
  • What to know if you have IBS or diverticulosis

Your gut health affects everything — your energy, your hormones, your heart.
Start with fiber, start slowly, and start smart.
