Sam and Sophie sit with that question, because it flips everything we've been told about diet on its head. They walk through Dr. Will Bulsiewicz's gut health framework: how fiber feeds gut bacteria to produce short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, why a diverse microbiome is key, and the thirty-plant challenge that makes it practical. They also tackle common fears about antinutrients, the pitfalls of keto and paleo, and the surprising link between gut health and weight loss, mood, and chronic disease. If you've ever felt confused about what to eat or frustrated by conflicting diet advice, this episode gives you a simple, science-backed rule: feed your gut bacteria. The takeaway is that fiber isn't just roughage—it's the fuel for the microbial engine that drives your health. Fiber Fueled by Dr. Will Bulsiewicz.
