Podcasts about Fiber

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jennifer Timmons, MD, a board-certified family physician and longevity doctor, to explore why fertility cannot be separated from whole-body health. After more than a decade in traditional primary care at UCLA Health, Dr. Timmons recognized how often the conventional system waits for disease rather than addressing the dysfunction beneath it. She now blends functional, precision, and longevity medicine to help her patients build true vitality from the inside out. We talk about why your terrain matters as much as any protocol, how gut health quietly drives inflammation and autoimmune conditions, and why so many seemingly unrelated symptoms trace back to a compromised gut lining. Dr. Timmons walks us through the role of leaky gut in fertility, the importance of blood sugar stability for egg and sperm quality, and the everyday lifestyle inputs that influence cellular health, including light exposure, circadian rhythm, time-restricted eating, and microplastic exposure. She also shares which longevity practices are accessible to everyone, why social connection turned out to be one of the strongest predictors of long life in Harvard research, and the simple food order and movement habits that move the needle most for metabolic health. This conversation is a thoughtful, grounded look at how to support the body so it can do what it already knows how to do. Key Takeaways: Fertility is a reflection of whole-body health, not an isolated system. Optimizing your terrain matters as much as any procedure or protocol. Gut health is foundational. Leaky gut and compromised intestinal lining can drive autoimmune conditions, inflammation, and impaired nutrient absorption, all of which affect fertility outcomes. Even a nutrient-rich diet cannot do its work if the gut barrier is inflamed. Healing the gut lining is often the missing piece in fertility preparation. Chronic inflammation is one of the biggest drivers of disease and reproductive dysfunction. Identifying and addressing inflammatory triggers can shift the entire picture. Blood sugar stability directly impacts egg and sperm quality. Simple shifts like eating fiber and protein before carbs, walking after meals, and avoiding late-night eating make a real difference. Light, circadian rhythm, and meal timing are powerful regulators of hormonal and cellular health. A simple 12-hour overnight fast offers measurable benefits without extreme restriction. Microplastics and environmental toxins are quietly impacting reproductive health. Fiber, NAC, sweating, and reducing plastic exposure all support your body's natural detox pathways. Longevity practices are accessible to everyone. Whole foods, movement, quality sleep, clean water, and strong social connection are the real foundations of a long, healthy life. Social connection is one of the strongest predictors of longevity, even more than diet or socioeconomic status in Harvard research. Community is medicine.

What happens when drones go somewhere they're not supposed to go? In this AwesomeChat, Sorg talks with Logan Harris, CEO of Spotter Global, about the technology being developed to detect drones, track their operators, protect critical infrastructure, and give security teams a better picture of what is happening across large areas. Spotter Global began by shrinking ground-surveillance radar technology that once required large equipment, significant power, and multiple operators into compact systems designed to provide situational awareness in the field. Today, that technology has expanded into critical infrastructure, public safety, drone detection, and some surprisingly unexpected applications. Logan demonstrates how radar, cameras, GPS tracking information, video analytics, and Remote ID can work together to help operators identify what is actually moving instead of simply generating another security-camera alert. The conversation also explores a rapidly changing drone landscape: public-event incursions, Remote ID regulations, DJI's changes to its geofencing system, DIY aircraft, fiber-optic drones that cannot be detected or jammed through conventional radio-frequency methods, and the growing challenge of defending against inexpensive drones without using dramatically more expensive countermeasures. Learn more about Logan Harris and Spotter Global at www.spotterglobal.com. Topics, News Stories & Technology Discussed How Spotter Global started with military radar technology Logan explains how the company grew out of a need for much smaller ground-surveillance radar systems. Instead of the roughly 100-pound systems that traditionally required several operators, Spotter Global developed compact radar technology for providing situational awareness to small teams operating in remote areas. A compact radar covering a surprisingly large area Logan demonstrates a radar unit with roughly a 600-meter range that uses about eight watts of power and can monitor approximately 40 acres. Radar provides the wide-area detection layer while cameras and additional analytics help determine what the radar actually found. SnapTrack brings live targets directly onto the map Spotter Global's SnapTrack feature combines target location information with live camera imagery. Rather than forcing an operator to monitor a wall of camera feeds, a target can appear on a map with picture-in-picture video once a camera acquires it. Radar + cameras + video AI to reduce false alarms Sorg compares the technology to conventional security cameras that send an alert without making it clear whether the movement came from a person, vehicle, animal, or even a tree branch. Spotter combines radar tracking, GPS coordinates, metadata, cameras, and video analytics to add multiple levels of verification. Critical infrastructure and the Metcalf substation attack Logan discusses how the 2013 attack on the Metcalf electrical substation in California highlighted vulnerabilities around major infrastructure. That helped drive demand for security systems capable of monitoring activity well beyond a facility's fence line. Drones over a Fourth of July event Logan describes assisting local law enforcement around a fireworks event where four drones flew around or over a stadium containing approximately 50,000 people. Police were able to intercept two of the operators. Remote ID: a “license plate” for drones Remote ID is compared to ADS-B on traditional aircraft. Compatible drones broadcast information including an identifier and location data, allowing detection systems to track the aircraft and, in some cases, identify the location of its operator. Spotter Global's Remote ID sensor Logan demonstrates a compact sensor capable of monitoring a large surrounding area for Remote ID broadcasts and plotting drone tracks and operator locations on a map. The 250-gram threshold and smaller drones The conversation looks at how weight affects Remote ID requirements and why some very small consumer drones operate differently from larger aircraft. DIY drones, RC aircraft, and external Remote ID beacons Sorg connects the discussion to SAE Aero Design competitions and student-built aircraft. Logan demonstrates a small Remote ID transmitter that can be attached to a DIY aircraft that needs to comply with Remote ID requirements. DJI and the change from geofencing to warnings Logan discusses DJI's change from firmware-enforced no-fly restrictions to warnings that alert operators when they are entering certain restricted areas without necessarily preventing the aircraft from flying there. Drone activity around major sporting events The conversation touches on drone pilots entering restricted areas around stadium events despite warnings, illustrating why detection and enforcement remain necessary even when consumer drones notify pilots of restrictions. Fiber-optic “FOG” drones Logan identifies fiber-optically guided drones as an important emerging challenge. Instead of communicating with an operator using radio signals, these drones remain physically connected by an extremely thin fiber-optic cable. Why fiber-optic drones are difficult to stop Because control and video travel through fiber rather than a wireless RF link, conventional RF detection and jamming techniques may not work. That increases the importance of radar and other methods of physically detecting the aircraft. Long-range attack drones and the economics of defense Logan contrasts smaller fiber-optic drones with much larger long-range fixed-wing attack drones and discusses the challenge of using extremely expensive defensive weapons against comparatively inexpensive aircraft. Fish farms need radar too One unexpected commercial application is protecting fish farms where millions of dollars of stock could be vulnerable to theft or sabotage. Radar can alert operators to someone approaching a restricted area. Avalanches, rockfalls, and polar bears Spotter's radar technology has moved far beyond its original security mission. Logan mentions applications involving avalanche monitoring, rockfall monitoring, and even tracking polar bears. Entrepreneurship: do it for more than money Logan says entrepreneurship involves too much work and stress for money alone to be the motivation. The Three Rs: Record, Remind, Report Logan's productivity philosophy centers on doing small things consistently: record what needs to happen, establish reminders, and make sure progress gets reported. His lesson is that accomplishing large goals depends on consistently handling the little things.

Original Air Date: 8/1/2026 Episode Number: 470Episode SummaryThree topics this week. Dan opens with a paint science segment answering a listener question about urethane and enamel -- two words that appear constantly on paint labels and mean different things than most people assume. Then a full two-segment deep dive on moss and lichen: first, how to safely remove them from different types of siding, and then a step-by-step walkthrough of how Dan cleaned his own roof, what products he used, and what the warnings are. He closes with a quick listener question about painting over old glossy trim in a pre-1978 home.Timestamps[00:00] -- Show Intro and Promises[02:28] -- Paint Science: Urethane vs. Enamel[07:38] -- Choosing the Right Paint[09:56] -- Moss and Lichen Overview[10:35] -- Siding Segment Setup[11:06] -- What Moss and Lichen Are[12:43] -- Cleaning Brick and Masonry[15:09] -- Cleaning Wood Safely[16:56] -- Vinyl, Stucco, and Pressure Tips[18:27] -- Protecting Plants[19:22] -- Roof Segment Begins[20:02] -- Why Remove Roof Growth[20:14] -- Roof Damage Explained[21:52] -- Dan's Roof Wake-Up Call[23:48] -- Kill It, Don't Scrape It[24:12] -- Hire Out or DIY?[25:03] -- Best Cleaners Compared[29:20] -- Prep and Protect Plants[30:53] -- Rinse, Brush, and Apply[33:58] -- Results and Safety Warnings[36:41] -- Listener Q: Glossy Trim[37:57] -- Lead, Adhesion, and Primer[39:40] -- Wrap UpUrethane vs. Enamel: A Plain-English Explanation [02:28]A listener wrote in puzzled by the word urethane showing up everywhere -- waterborne urethanes, urethane-modified acrylics, polyurethanes -- and wanted to know whether it means something specific or just marketing. He also asked which is more durable, urethane or enamel, and which he should be reaching for.The short answer: urethane and enamel are not competing terms. They describe different things entirely.Paint basics. Every can contains pigment (color and hiding), liquid (what lets you apply it), and resin -- the binder. As paint dries and the liquid leaves, the resin and pigment form the paint film. The resin has enormous influence over how the finished coating behaves: hardness, flexibility, adhesion, resistance to moisture, cleaning, and abrasion.What urethane means. Urethane isn't an extra scoop of durability added to the can. It's a type of chemical connection that can be built into the resin structure itself. When a resin contains many of those connections, it's called a polyurethane. That chemistry is associated with toughness, abrasion resistance, and resistance to cleaners -- which is why you see the word on products for cabinets, doors, railings, and floors.What enamel means. Traditionally, enamel meant an oil-based product with a hard, smooth, glossy finish -- the go-to for doors, trim, and metal. Today it's used more broadly. You can buy acrylic enamels, waterborne enamels, and urethane enamels. An enamel can absolutely use urethane chemistry. They're not opposites.The analogy. Asking which is more durable, a urethane or an enamel, is like asking whether a pickup truck is better than a diesel engine. One describes the vehicle type. The other describes the technology inside. You can have a diesel pickup, just like you can have a urethane enamel.The practical takeaway. For an ordinary bedroom wall, don't hunt for urethane -- just get good washability and the right sheen. For cabinets, doors, or railings, an enamel built for those surfaces makes sense, and it may well use urethane chemistry. For a wood floor, get a polyurethane specifically designed for foot traffic. For exterior siding, hardness isn't even the main priority -- flexibility, adhesion, and weather resistance matter more. The product's intended use matters more than the words on the label. Stop into any RepcoLite, tell them what you're painting and what kind of abuse it'll take, and they'll sort it out.Moss vs. Lichen: What You're Actually Looking At [11:06]Before cleaning anything, it helps to know what you're dealing with, because moss and lichen behave differently from the algae and mildew covered last week -- and they have to be handled differently as a result.Moss is the green fuzzy stuff -- little soft pillows of growth, kinda charming, definitely not good for your house or roof. It grips whatever it's growing on and holds moisture against the surface.Lichen is stranger and tougher. It looks almost painted or glued on -- flat, crusty patches or small leafy, ruffled growths. It can be gray-green, orange, chalky white. Lichen is actually two organisms living together: a fungus that builds the structure and grips the surface, and an algae that makes the food. Together they can live almost anywhere and attach with a grip that's very hard to break. That's the core reason they need their own conversation -- algae and mildew are essentially films sitting on the surface. Moss and lichen are anchored into the surface, into the pores of brick, the grain of wood, down into mortar. Removing them incorrectly can cause more damage than leaving them.Cleaning Moss and Lichen Off Siding [12:43]Brick and masonry. Gently knock off the thickest mounded moss first -- but gently is the word. Plastic scraper, wooden edge, or a stiff-but-not-metal brush. No wire brushes on brick, especially older or softer brick. Nothing mounted on a power tool. Working through the harder outer face of the brick exposes the softer material underneath, which holds moisture longer and becomes even more vulnerable to freeze-thaw damage. You can create next year's problem while cleaning up this year's.After removing loose material, treat remaining moss and lichen with a cleaner labeled for both the growth type and the surface. Wet & Forget is a popular spray-and-leave option -- apply it, leave it alone, and rain carries away the dead material over weeks or months. Make sure whatever you use is designed to kill moss and lichen, not just clean the surface.Wood. Be careful with straight chlorine bleach on bare or weathered wood -- it breaks down lignin, the natural binder in the wood fibers, and can leave cedar blotchy and damaged in ways that don't reverse. Sodium percarbonate (oxygenated bleach -- essentially OxiClean) is gentler on wood and on nearby plants. Soft brush, go with the grain, low pressure, no wire brush.Vinyl and aluminum. More forgiving -- growth doesn't anchor as deep on non-porous surfaces. Soft nylon brush or cloth with a cleaner labeled for that siding type, let it sit, gentle scrub, rinse. Don't spray upward under the laps.Fiber cement. Check the manufacturer's guidance. Keep it gentle and low pressure.Stucco and EIFS. Porous and on the brittle side -- soft wash, right cleaner, low pressure. Older synthetic stucco (EIFS) is especially risky; aggressive washing can force water behind cracks and joints. If the surface is already cracked or failing, call a professional.Plants. Wet down all landscaping before starting. Cover sensitive plants with light plastic, but get it off quickly -- they'll cook under it. Rinse everything again when you're done.Why You Can't Leave Roof Moss and Lichen Alone [20:02]Moss growing thicker around the edges of shingles interferes with drainage and can cause shingles to lift or deteriorate -- creating openings for water to get in. That alone is a good enough reason to deal with it.Lichen is worse on a roof than on siding because it attaches directly to the protective granules on the shingles and can cause irreversible damage as it grips and eventually pulls them loose. There's also a curb appeal issue: moss and lichen-covered roofs read as neglected or failing, whether or not that's actually true.Dan put off dealing with his own roof growth for a couple of years, telling himself it wasn't a big deal. A roofer from Sheriff Goslin Roofing -- who came out to assess the roof's lifespan -- pointed out that the moss and lichen were actively taking years off the roof by pulling granules and giving moisture more places to work. That's what finally prompted action.Hire Out or DIY? [24:12]Before getting into the process, Dan makes the case for hiring it out -- because for a lot of people, that's the right answer. There are companies that specialize in roof and exterior cleaning. If the roof is steep, high, difficult to access, or if heights aren't your thing, hiring a professional is absolutely the right call. A fall is a lot worse than a moss problem.If you're still planning to do it yourself, read on.Cleaner Options for Moss and Lichen on Roofs [25:03]Wet & Forget. Apply per label directions and leave it. The treatment kills growth over time, and rain carries the dead material away over the following weeks and months. No rinsing, no aggressive follow-up. Depending on your roof pitch and setup, you may be able to apply most of it from a ladder or even the ground -- though you have to be very careful not to force water up under shingles at the wrong angle. Dan's roofer confirmed his customers have had good results with it.Oxygenated bleach / sodium percarbonate (essentially OxiClean). This is what Dan used. Mix approximately one pound of oxygenated bleach per two gallons of water. Apply with a pump-up garden sprayer. This is gentler on plants and on...

Why fiber-optic drones are difficult to stop Because control and video travel through fiber rather than a wireless RF link, conventional RF detection and jamming techniques may not work. That increases the importance of radar and other methods of physically detecting the aircraft. Long-range attack drones and the economics of defense Logan contrasts smaller fiber-optic drones with much larger long-range fixed-wing attack drones and discusses the challenge of using extremely expensive defensive weapons against comparatively inexpensive aircraft. Fish farms need radar too One unexpected commercial application is protecting fish farms where millions of dollars of stock could be vulnerable to theft or sabotage. Radar can alert operators to someone approaching a restricted area. Avalanches, rockfalls, and polar bears Spotter's radar technology has moved far beyond its original security mission. Logan mentions applications involving avalanche monitoring, rockfall monitoring, and even tracking polar bears. Entrepreneurship: do it for more than money Logan says entrepreneurship involves too much work and stress for money alone to be the motivation. The Three Rs: Record, Remind, Report Logan's productivity philosophy centers on doing small things consistently: record what needs to happen, establish reminders, and make sure progress gets reported. His lesson is that accomplishing large goals depends on consistently handling the little things.

The E-Rate program has connected virtually every school and library in America to broadband, growing classroom internet access from just 14% in 1996 to near-universal today. But for the first time in the program's nearly 30-year history, the FCC is asking whether E-Rate should be terminated. On this episode of Fiber for Breakfast, Gary Bolton, President & CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association, welcomes Joey Wender, Executive Director of the Schools, Health & Libraries Broadband (SHLB) Coalition, to discuss what's at stake for anchor institutions and the fiber networks that serve them. Together, they explore the FCC's top-to-bottom E-Rate proceeding and the Save Our E-Rate campaign, the pending Universal Service Fund litigation, how BEAD and E-Rate complement one another, and how schools, libraries, and providers can make their voices heard before the comment window closes.

Half of the people who show up with a heart attack have completely normal cholesterol. That statistic is exactly why I brought back Dr. Philip Ovadia, a board certified cardiac surgeon who spent years operating on hearts while morbidly obese and pre-diabetic himself. In 2016, before Ozempic or any of the GLP-1 medications existed, he lost 100 pounds and reversed his own prediabetes, and it changed what he believed about the disease he had spent his whole career treating. We get into why insulin resistance carries six times the heart disease risk that elevated LDL cholesterol does, based on the Women's Health Initiative data, and why nearly 90 percent of adults are walking around metabolically unhealthy without knowing it. Dr. Ovadia walks through fasting insulin, a simple and inexpensive blood test that can flag this risk years before a cholesterol panel ever would, and explains why imaging that actually looks at your arteries tells you more than blood work alone ever can. We also talk honestly about statins, what the real numbers behind their benefit show once the marketing is stripped away, and why he now tells patients that meat, not cholesterol, belongs back on the table. It is a conversation that reframes what actually predicts a heart attack and gives you real questions to bring into your next cardiology appointment. Normal cholesterol does not mean a healthy heart.

A crew boring to install fiber optic lines is the reason for a gas leak that prompted the city of Stockdale to completely shut off its natural gas service to the city last week. According to City Manager Stephen Mayfield, contractors for Spectrum who were boring in the vicinity of Eighth Street to install fiber optic lines damaged natural gas lines July 22, which prompted the citywide shut off the following day. Residents and businesses in Stockdale with gas appliances found they had no hot water and no way to cook breakfast July 23, due to the gas leak. Mayfield... Article Link

This week, we conclude our 4-part series on the 6th-leading cause of death in America.  We discuss how to protect the brain at all stages of life.  In this episode, we talk about:—Why Dr. Prather thinks it is an excuse that Alzheimer's is increasing because people are just living longer or it's diagnosed better, but that it is actually increasing because there is some kind of stressor that wasn't there before. —The importance of protecting Brain Health starting in the womb.  And how Iodine is the most critical part of Brain development and will determine how smart your child will be. —How breastfeeding is more beneficial for the development for the baby's brain and cuts down on brain problems later in life.—Why an annual Hair Analysis for children and adults  is important to identify Heavy Metal toxins, which damage the brain.—The link between gut health and Alzheimer's.  And the reason Dr. Prather recommends an annual stool kit for everyone (even babies) to identify the parasites and infections that can damage your Brain health. —How probiotics in the diet (such as fermented foods) and high Fiber intake are key reasons for healthy longevity in the "Blue Zone" areas of the world which have a large number of people living over the age of 100. —The health benefits of the Biblical dietary laws.—Why Sunshine is the best Vitamin D for the body, and is also estimated to provide 34 nutrients that come directly from the Sun.   And why Dr. Prather says it is "untrue" when they say Sunshine is bad for us. —The role proper sleep plays in Dementia and Alzheimer's because our body washes the brain of the amyloid plaques while we sleep.  And how using pharmaceuticals for sleep actually interferes with this process.    —How being around grandchildren is scientifically proven to help both the health of the grandparent and the development of the child. http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com*Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast

Take care of your microbiome, and it will take care of youDid you know that every meal feeds not only you, but also the trillions of microorganisms living in your digestive tract? Research continues to suggest that the foods we eat directly influence our gut microbiome, which plays an essential role in digestion, metabolism, immune function, inflammation, and inter-organ communication throughout the body. In this quickie episode of the Everyone Dies podcast, we dive into how fiber-rich foods and resistant starch nourish beneficial gut bacteria—and why ultra-processed foods may have the opposite effect. You'll learn why calories from whole foods are handled differently than calories from highly processed foods, how short-chain fatty acids support metabolic health, and practical ways to include more microbiome-friendly foods in your daily meals. Resources and more: https://bit.ly/4wpKel7Plus, as a bonus, we are including a re-release of our deep-dive episode on the microbiome, S5E25: The Important Role of the Microbiome to Your Health and Immune Function!Topics discussed include:What the gut microbiome does and why it matters Why fiber is essential for gut health What resistant starch is and where to find it How ultra-processed foods affect beneficial gut bacteria Simple, daily dietary changes that promote long-term wellness#GutHealth #GutMicrobiome #Fiber #Nutrition #HealthyEating #DigestiveHealth #Wellness #WholeFoods #ResistantStarch #Metabolism #ImmuneHealth #PreventiveHealth #EvidenceBased #HealthPodcast #EveryoneDiesPodcastSupport the show

The House just passed a bill deepening US-Israel military ties, and Shipwreck is trying to sort fact from panic while also side-eyeing South Carolina's newest senator (hi, Lindsey Graham's sister). She revisits why she never needed Candace Owens to tell her something felt off about Charlie Kirk, reacts to the military's new testosterone policy backlash, and unpacks the marketing con behind protein everything. But the real main event is fiber. Prepare for a passionate, unfiltered case for hitting your daily fiber goal, complete with bowl sizes, portion size conspiracies, and a genuinely delightful detour about a raccoon named Jimothy. Vacation prep, weight loss milestones, and plenty of tangents round it out. It is equal parts political skepticism and gut health sermon, exactly as advertised.

Many people think of fiber as something that simply supports digestion, but emerging research suggests it may play a much bigger role in protecting long-term health.     On today's show, I dive into the science behind dietary fiber and explore how it may help support immune function, reduce inflammation, promote a healthier gut microbiome, and even improve outcomes in certain types of cancer.     You'll learn why higher fiber intake has been associated with better survival outcomes in breast cancer research, how fiber supports a healthier gut environment and immune function, and why studies suggest adequate fiber intake may play a role in reducing cancer risk and supporting overall health.     I'll also share practical recommendations for increasing your fiber intake safely, what to do if fiber causes digestive discomfort, and simple strategies to help you reach optimal daily fiber goals.     Tune into today's Cabral Concept 3814 to discover why fiber may be one of the most overlooked nutrients for supporting longevity, metabolic health, and overall wellness.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3814 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

What does it take to build a fiber provider that customers genuinely enjoy doing business with? In this episode of The Broadband Bunch, Brad Hine sits down with Ted Schremp, CEO of IQ Fiber, to discuss how the company is challenging the traditional broadband model with transparent pricing, subscription-style billing, whole-home Wi-Fi, and a customer-first philosophy that has fueled rapid growth across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. Ted shares how IQ Fiber has grown from a startup to a five-state provider by combining operational simplicity with a strong company culture. The conversation explores network expansion, community engagement, acquisitions, and the future of fiber, while highlighting why lasting success in broadband still comes down to putting people first.

Most people think fiber is simply about digestion. But fiber is one of the most powerful tools we have for supporting blood sugar regulation, cholesterol, gut health, appetite, and overall metabolic health. The surprising part? Not all fibers do the same job. In this episode, I explain why fiber diversity matters and how different soluble and insoluble fibers work together as a fiber matrix to support multiple systems throughout the body. We'll also discuss one of the biggest misconceptions on social media, that all "gums" are unhealthy, and review what the research actually says about ingredients like guar gum, gum arabic, beta-glucans, citrus pectin, and more. Whether you're working on insulin resistance, digestive health, cholesterol, or simply trying to understand nutrition on a deeper level, this episode will help you make more informed decisions about fiber. In This Episode Why fiber is about much more than digestion The difference between soluble fibers and why each one has a unique role How a fiber matrix supports blood sugar, cholesterol, gut health, and satiety The science behind guar gum, gum arabic, beta-glucans, locust bean gum, and citrus pectin Why some people experience bloating when increasing fiber The truth about the "gums are bad" debate How to evaluate nutrition claims using evidence instead of fear Interested in the Fiber Matrix?

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!You've heard “eat more fiber,” but almost nobody explains it in a way clients actually remember or apply. We keep it simple and useful: soluble fiber acts like a sponge, and insoluble fiber works like a broom. That one shift makes nutrition coaching easier, whether you're helping a client manage hunger, improve gut health, or make sense of cholesterol labs without getting lost in jargon.We walk through what soluble fiber does best, including slowing digestion, blunting blood sugar spikes, and supporting healthier LDL cholesterol levels. Then we connect it to real foods people will eat: oats, apples (yes, the skin counts), berries, beans, carrots, flax, and chia. From there, we cover insoluble fiber and why it matters for fullness and regularity, with practical examples like whole wheat, brown rice, seeds, and leafy greens. We also talk about how most foods are a blend, so you don't need a perfect list, you need a consistent pattern.If you've been hearing loud takes about fruit being “bad” because of fructose, we address that fear head-on and explain why fiber-rich fruit can be a net positive for heart health and digestion. We finish with coaching strategy: fiber targets (roughly 38g for men and 25g for women), why jumping from low fiber to high fiber overnight backfires, and how to progress it like training.

What if everything you've been taking to boost your energy, sharpen your focus, and fuel your body was covered by one single food?Dr. Catharine Arnston discovered algae sixteen years ago while researching how to help her sister heal from breast cancer, and it changed the entire direction of her life. NASA has endorsed algae as a complete food for space travel. The United Nations has called it one of the greatest solutions to human nutrition on Earth. Now 72, with a PhD earned last year and zero medications or chronic disease, Catharine joins Jon and Will to break down exactly how spirulina and chlorella work in the body,  from mitochondrial energy and testosterone to heavy metal detox and why men, specifically, are prone to a problem most have never heard of: cellular rust.As an algae nutrition expert, Catharine walks through the spirulina and chlorella benefits that define these algae superfoods, starting with mitochondrial health and its role in fueling cellular energy in men's nutrition. She explains how antioxidants for men neutralize free radicals, easing inflammation and testosterone disruption, while nitric oxide and blood flow support men's hormone health and performance. For men over 40, whole food supplements like ENERGYbits deliver longevity nutrition through high fiber content that strengthens gut health, complementing a Keto lifestyle. Catharine also details how algae supports heavy metal detox, binding toxic metals for gentle clearance, and positions itself as a natural energy supplement built on decades of research into cellular vitality and aging well.IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:1.  Why mitochondria are the real power plant behind energy, testosterone, and brain fog2.  Spirulina vs. chlorella: nourishment in, toxins out, and why men need both3.  The connection between nitric oxide, blood flow, and male performance4.  Why men accumulate stored iron — and how that quietly damages the heart and brain over time5.  Why most supplements fail to get absorbed, and what makes whole-food nutrition differentMore about Dr. Catharine Arnston:1.  Website: https://www.energybits.com2.  Discount Code: MTM for 20% off sitewide, no expiration3.  Instagram (brand): https://www.instagram.com/energybits4.  Instagram (personal): https://www.instagram.com/catharinearnston5.  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/catharinearnston6.  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/energybits GET MORE FROM MTM:Text MTM to 33777 — free weekly newsletterSubscribe & Episodes: https://mentalkingmindfulness.com/FREE APP: https://focusnowtrainingapp.com/FREE Assessment: https://focusnowtraining.com/assessment-pageA2A COURSE:12 modules on attention, presence & performance.

Cancer has long been associated with aging, but in recent years, doctors have seen an alarming rise in colorectal cancer and other cancers among younger adults. In this episode of Health Matters, host Courtney Allison speaks with Dr. Dorna Jafari, chief of colorectal surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, about what may be contributing to this growing public health concern. Dr. Jafari explains that colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death in people under age 50 and discusses the "birth cohort effect" researchers have identified among people born after 1960. She explores several factors that may be influencing cancer risk, including changes in diet, increased consumption of ultra-processed foods, disruptions to the gut microbiome, antibiotic exposure, and the growing presence of microplastics in the environment. The conversation also focuses on prevention. Dr. Jafari shares practical steps people can take to support a healthy microbiome and reduce cancer risk, including increasing fiber intake, staying physically active, limiting sugary beverages, and making realistic lifestyle changes over time. Finally, she discusses the exciting advances changing the future of oncology. From targeted cancer therapies and immunotherapy to AI-assisted diagnosis and improved screening tools, Dr. Jafari explains why cancer outcomes continue to improve and why early detection remains one of the most powerful tools available—especially when it comes to colorectal cancer screening. Chapters 00:00 – Why Are More Young People Getting Cancer? Understanding the rise of early-onset cancers and why colorectal cancer rates are increasing in adults under 50 03:15 – Diet, Microbiome, and Environmental Risks How ultra-processed foods, sugary drinks, antibiotics, and microplastics may influence cancer risk 07:20 – New Advances in Cancer Treatment The shift toward targeted therapies, immunotherapy, AI, and personalized cancer care 10:15 – Screening, Prevention, and Living Healthier Why colonoscopies remain the gold standard and the lifestyle habits that can help lower risk Key Topics Covered Early-onset colorectal cancer Rising cancer rates in young adults Colorectal cancer mortality trends Ultra-processed foods and cancer risk Sugar-sweetened beverages Gut microbiome health Antibiotic exposure and cancer Microplastics and potential health effects Fiber and digestive health Cancer prevention strategies Targeted cancer therapies Immunotherapy Artificial intelligence in oncology Colonoscopy screening Blood-based cancer screening tests Fertility preservation during cancer treatment Holistic cancer care Cancer survivorship and outcomes Key Takeaway While cancer is increasingly affecting younger adults, there are meaningful steps people can take to reduce their risk. Prioritizing screening, maintaining a healthy diet rich in fiber, limiting ultra-processed foods and sugary drinks, staying active, and paying attention to symptoms can make a difference. At the same time, advances in targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and AI-driven diagnostics are helping improve outcomes and offering new hope for the future of cancer care. Doctor Bio Dr. Mehraneh Dorna Jafari is chief of colorectal surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital and associate professor of surgery at Weill Cornell Medicine. She is the director of clinical research in the department of surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. She is board-certified in general surgery and colon and rectal surgery. Dr. Jafari specializes in the comprehensive care of colorectal cancer patients, patients with peritoneal surface disease as well as those patients with benign colorectal disease. Dr Jafari works with a world-renowned group of multidisciplinary specialists to help promote a patient centered treatment plan for her patients, including radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, gastroenterologists, and interventional radiologists. Her goal is to provide precision medicine to patients that is safe and effective. Dr. Jafari has expertise in minimal access techniques, including laparoscopic, and robotic surgery. In addition, she has special interests in sphincter preserving surgery (helping rectal cancer patients avoid a permanent ostomy), maintaining fertility in cancer patients, and improving quality of life and bowel function after rectal surgery.  Dr Jafari has been at forefront of research with regards to improving outcomes using enhanced recovery and narcotic sparing protocols. Dr. Jafari is among a small number of surgeons who offers surgery for metastatic colon, appendiceal and peritoneal surface disease. She utilizes cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), which involves heated chemotherapy applied directly within the abdominal cavity following removal of cancerous tumors. Dr. Jafari's clinical research focuses on quality of life and oncological outcomes for colorectal cancer patients. Her main area of expertise is starting chemotherapy earlier in cancer treatment to allow patients to recover their quality of life sooner. Dr. Jafari has written extensively and published in many major journals, including the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), Annals of Surgery, and the Journal of the American College of Surgeons. She has led numerable courses teaching surgeons around the country how to perform minimal invasive surgery. Dr. Jafari is actively involved in many national surgical and oncologic societies, including the American College of Surgeons, Society of Surgical Oncologists, American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons and Association of Women Surgeons.

(A note before we get into it: this article is educational, not medical advice. Talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian before making major changes to your diet — especially if you have diabetes or pre-diabetes, take blood-sugar medication, are pregnant or nursing, or are managing any chronic condition. Nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.)Research shows well-built plant-based diets usually lower blood sugar. If yours moved the other way, one of six silent glucose traps is almost always the reason — and every one of them is fixable.TLDR* The research is actually on vegetarianism's side. Large reviews of clinical trials show vegetarian and vegan diets tend to lower A1C, not raise it.* So if your numbers went up, something in how the diet was built is the real cause — not the fact that it's plant-based.* Six usual suspects: too little protein, “naked” carbs with no brakes, shrinking muscle mass, too much fermentable fiber too fast, high stress/cortisol, and late-night eating.* Each one is a fixable habit, not a reason to abandon vegetarianism.Wait — Doesn't “Plant-Based” Mean Healthier Blood Sugar?Usually, yes. When researchers actually put vegetarian diets to the test in clinical trials, the pattern is consistent: people following them tend to see their A1C go down, not up. A meta-analysis pooling multiple randomized trials found vegetarian diets were linked to a meaningful drop in A1C, and a separate meta-analysis of nine trials found a similar reduction — enough that it would be considered clinically significant by the FDA's own bar for new diabetes drugs.So if you switched to vegetarian eating and your last lab draw came back worse, I want to be straight with you: that's not the expected outcome, and it's not “just what happens” when you cut out meat. Something specific is working against you. The good news is that it's almost always one of a handful of well-understood mechanisms — and once you know which one, it's a quick fix, not a diet overhaul.Think of it like this: a car engine doesn't run worse because you switched to a different brand of gas. It runs worse because something specific — a clogged filter, bad timing, low oil — is getting in the way. Same idea here. Let's go through the six most common “clogs.”THRIVE 120 - TriplePlayDoc is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.1. The Protein Drop You Didn't NoticeThis is the single most common one. When people cut out meat, they usually don't replace that protein gram-for-gram with plant protein — they replace it with more carbs, because carbs are what fill the plate: extra rice, extra bread, extra pasta.Here's why that matters for blood sugar specifically. Protein eaten alongside carbohydrate isn't just “extra food” — it changes how your body handles the carbs. A meta-analysis of controlled feeding trials found that adding protein to a carb-containing meal meaningfully lowers the post-meal glucose spike, largely by boosting the insulin response that clears sugar out of the bloodstream faster. Pull protein out of the meal and carbs hit your blood essentially unguarded.Think of protein as the brakes on a sugar rollercoaster. Take the brakes off, and the same carbs you were eating before now send your blood sugar higher and faster than they used to.2. Naked Carbs, No BrakesThis is the same problem from a different angle: oatmeal for breakfast, a rice bowl for lunch, a smoothie for a snack. All reasonable foods — but if none of them are paired with enough protein or fat, and you're not about to go move that sugar with a workout, it hits your bloodstream as a fast, unbuffered spike. Your body answers with a bigger insulin surge, and doing that meal after meal, day after day, is exactly the pattern linked to declining insulin sensitivity over time.3. The Muscle FactorThis one surprises people: your muscles are the biggest “storage tank” for the sugar you eat. After a meal, skeletal muscle soaks up roughly 70–80% of the glucose that comes out of your bloodstream, using it to refill glycogen stores. Researchers who study this consider muscle glucose uptake the single biggest lever on whole-body insulin sensitivity.So when protein intake drops and resistance training isn't part of the picture, muscle mass tends to shrink over time — and that storage tank gets smaller. Less tank space means the same meal now leaves more sugar circulating in your blood for longer, which shows up as a slow, creeping rise in A1C.Muscle is basically your body's biggest gas tank for sugar. Shrink the tank, and the same fill-up overflows.4. High Fiber, High StressFiber itself is not the villain here — in fact, the right kind of fiber is one of the best tools for blood sugar control. Viscous, soluble fibers (found in oats, beans, and psyllium) form a gel in your gut that physically slows down how fast sugar gets absorbed, and trials show this type of fiber measurably lowers both A1C and fasting blood sugar.The issue is a different kind of fiber problem: volume and speed. Vegetarian diets are often naturally high in fermentable fiber — beans, lentils, certain grains — and when your gut bacteria break that fiber down, the fermentation process produces gas as a byproduct. Ramp up fiber intake quickly, especially the fast-fermenting kinds, and you can outpace your gut's ability to comfortably process it, leading to bloating and discomfort. That physical stress on your body, especially combined with everyday life stress, triggers cortisol release — and cortisol has a direct, well-documented job of raising blood glucose by signaling your liver to make more sugar and by making your cells less responsive to insulin.Think of fiber fermentation like a construction project in your gut. The building itself (your microbiome) benefits — but a project moving too fast kicks up a lot of dust (gas and bloating) along the way.5. Timing and Circadian RhythmsThe lifestyle shift that often comes with going vegetarian — more grazing, more small meals, more snacking — can quietly push more of your eating into the evening. That timing matters more than most people realize. Multiple studies using identical meals given at different times of day have found that the exact same meal produces a bigger blood sugar spike at night than it does in the morning, because your insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function both naturally dip in the evening. One study even found a late meal after 8pm was independently linked to worse A1C.Your body runs on a work shift for carbs. The day shift (morning, early afternoon) handles them efficiently. The night shift is running on a skeleton crew — the same carb load left unprocessed for longer, working against you while you sleep.6. Cortisol: The Common ThreadYou'll notice cortisol keeps coming up — that's not a coincidence. Cortisol's actual job during stress is to make more glucose available fast, by triggering your liver to produce it and by directly blunting how well your cells respond to insulin. Whether the stressor is emotional (a hard week at work) or physical (a gut that's working overtime to ferment more fiber than it's used to, or a body that's lost muscle mass and is struggling to regulate blood sugar as efficiently), the hormonal response is the same: more sugar released, less efficiently cleared.Who's Most Likely to Notice This?Not everyone who goes vegetarian sees their A1C move. The people most likely to notice these effects are those who already have some combination of insulin resistance, chronic stress, poor sleep, low muscle mass, or a sensitive gut. For them, a vegetarian diet doesn't cause the problem — it tends to reveal a metabolic bottleneck that was already there, quietly, underneath a different diet.This isn't a case against vegetarian eating. The clinical research is genuinely favorable toward it. It's a case for building it correctly — with enough protein, the right kind and pace of fiber, resistance training to protect muscle, and carbs eaten earlier in the day, paired with something that slows them down.Six Bottlenecks at a GlanceThe Bottom LineThe question was never really “is vegetarianism good or bad for blood sugar?” — the research says it's generally good when it's built well. The real question is: what's your body's current metabolic bottleneck? Is it protein? Muscle? Fiber pacing? Timing? Stress? Most people are dealing with one or two of these more than the others, and once you know which, the fix is usually a small, specific adjustment — not throwing out the diet.The goal isn't just to tweak what's on your plate. It's to find the actual thing standing between you and the results you were expecting when you made this change in the first place.References* Vegetarian and Vegan Dietary Patterns to Treat Adult Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of RCTs — ScienceDirect: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2161831324001285* Vegetarian diets and glycemic control in diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis — PubMed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25414824/* The Effect of Adding Protein to a Carbohydrate Meal on Postprandial Glucose and Insulin Responses: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis — ScienceDirect: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022316624003924* The Role of Skeletal Muscle Glycogen Breakdown for Regulation of Insulin Sensitivity by Exercise — Frontiers in Physiology: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/physiology/articles/10.3389/fphys.2011.00112/full* Glucose Uptake by Skeletal Muscle within the Contexts of Type 2 Diabetes and Exercise — MDPI/Nutrients: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/14/3/647* Effect of viscous soluble dietary fiber on glucose and lipid metabolism in patients with T2DM: systematic review and meta-analysis — PMC: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10500602/* Dietary fiber in irritable bowel syndrome (fermentation and gas production) — PMC: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5548066/* Fibre, fermentation, FODMAPs and flatulence — Quadram Institute: https://quadram.ac.uk/blogs/fibre-fermentation-fodmaps-and-flatulence/* Physiology, Cortisol — StatPearls, NCBI Bookshelf: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK538239/* Endogenous circadian system and circadian misalignment impact glucose tolerance via separate mechanisms in humans — PNAS: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1418955112* Impact of circadian disruption on glucose metabolism: implications for type 2 diabetes — Diabetologia/PMC: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7002226/* Chronotype, Chrononutrition and Glucose Tolerance Among Prediabetic Individuals (late-dinner/A1C link): https://cdn.clinicaltrials.gov/large-docs/64/NCT05163964/Prot_SAP_ICF_004.pdfTHRIVE 120 - TriplePlayDoc is a reader-supported publication.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared takes a deep dive into one of the most overlooked foundations of health: healthy bowel function. Americans spend hundreds of millions of dollars each year on laxatives, yet many never address the root causes of chronic constipation. Jared explores how sluggish digestion can impact the gut microbiome, hormone balance, cognitive health, detoxification, and overall well-being. He breaks down the differences between stimulant laxatives, osmotic laxatives, fiber, magnesium, and traditional herbal approaches, while highlighting the unique benefits of Triphala, one of Ayurveda's most respected digestive tonics. You'll also learn practical strategies to support regularity through diet, hydration, probiotics, digestive enzymes, stress management, and targeted supplementation to help restore healthy digestive function naturally. Constipation Support ProductsVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Carnivore Diet, Cholesterol, Gut Bacteria, Microbiome, and Fasting Insulin Results from a 90-Day Self-Experiment What if cutting out fiber entirely actually improved your gut bacteria? This episode breaks down a real 90-day carnivore self-experiment, complete with before and after blood work, stool testing, and continuous glucose data, that challenges everything you think you know about fiber, cholesterol, and metabolic health. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Ben Azadi, founder of Keto Kamp and bestselling author of Metabolic Freedom. After overcoming obesity and severe health challenges, Ben has spent years educating millions of people on metabolic health, fasting, ketosis, and biohacking strategies through his podcast, books, and YouTube channel with over a million subscribers. He is known for turning complex science into practical tools anyone can use to burn fat, boost human performance, and support long-term longevity. Ben walks through what happened when he ate nothing but meat, eggs, and dairy for 90 straight days, tracking everything from his microbiome diversity to his LDL particle size. His cholesterol numbers spiked, but the full lipid panel tells a very different story than most doctors would assume. They get into why ketosis works better when you cycle in and out of it, how sodium and electrolytes play a bigger role in insulin resistance than most people realize, and why eating 17 to 23 times a day might be quietly wrecking your metabolism. The conversation also covers the real science behind creatine absorption, why Dave adds his to hot coffee for better brain uptake, the truth about cooking oils and smoke points, and why cold plunging is one of the most misunderstood biohacks in the wellness space. Dave and Ben dig into mitochondria, fasting protocols, sleep optimization, and the supplements that actually move the needle for energy, fat loss, and anti-aging. This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, functional medicine, brain optimization, and building a body that performs at a higher level for longer. You'll Learn: What 90 days of zero fiber actually did to his gut bacteria and microbiome diversity Why his cholesterol went up but his cardiovascular risk markers stayed low The real reason cyclical ketosis works better than staying in ketosis full time How sodium and electrolyte intake affects insulin resistance and metabolism Why eating too frequently keeps your body stuck in glucose and insulin spikes The creatine hack that increases brain absorption using hot coffee Why cold plunging is overrated for most people who skip the hormesis basics Thank you to our sponsors! - PredictiveMind™ | Get your Brain Pattern Mapping report at predictivemind.io/dave and use code DAVE for 10% off. - ZenBud | Dave's Nervous System Biohack.

Are you eating healthy but still struggling to hit your fiber goals? On today's episode, I'm talking about one of the biggest reasons I see women fall short on fiber, even when they're eating fruits and vegetables and trying to make healthy choices. If you've ever wondered why you're still hungry after meals or feel like you're doing everything right but something is missing, this episode is for you. I break down why fiber isn't just about eating more broccoli, how much fiber you actually need per meal, the connection between carbohydrates and fiber intake, and why avoiding carbs often makes it harder to feel full and stay consistent with fat loss. You'll learn what's actually keeping so many women from hitting their fiber goals, why relying on fruits and veggies alone usually isn't enough, and how to make it easier to consistently hit your fiber goals while supporting fat loss.
