This episode discusses the therapeutic fiber intake levels necessary to lower blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity.
Fiber is not just about digestion. YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI1bnFYzJRA Most people hear that fiber is good for blood sugar, but very few understand how much they actually need to create real, measurable change. The truth is, small increases in fiber are not enough to significantly impact insulin resistance. There is a therapeutic range, and when you reach it consistently, your metabolism begins to shift. In this episode, we break down the exact fiber intake levels used in randomized controlled trials to lower blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, and address the root cause of chronically elevated glucose. You'll learn: • The specific fiber range (30–45 grams per day) shown to improve blood sugar and insulin resistance • Why soluble fiber (7–12 grams daily) plays a critical role in metabolic health • How fiber slows glucose absorption and reduces post-meal spikes • The connection between fiber, the gut microbiome, and liver glucose output • Why high fiber intake improves fasting blood sugar overnight • How fiber improves insulin signaling at the muscle and liver level • What a full day of eating looks like when you hit the therapeutic fiber range • Why…
