Is Your Fear of Fiber Making Your Food Noise Worse?

from Girl, Who Told You That? · host Jacquelyn Ehmer, MS, RDN

Plus we’re breaking down why the wellness world’s obsession with maxxing or eliminating fiber might actually be keeping your food noise at an all-time high.You don’t have to choose between caring about your health and being at peace with your body.
