Podcasts about fibre

Only 4% of UK adults meet the recommended 30 grams of fibre per day. The average intake is 16 grams, which is barely half the target. And this isn't a new problem. It's been consistent for years, across every age group and demographic, with no sign of closing.What makes that statistic more troubling is what sits behind it: most people don't even know what the recommendation is. In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, recorded at our London Olympia event, a panel of specialists look at the fibre gap from every angle: policy, science, product development, supply chain and consumer behaviour. We hear from a nutrition researcher from the Danish Agriculture and Food Council, who explains how Denmark's Whole Grain Partnership drove consumption to 63 grams within four years.And we learn why fibre reformulation is technically more complex than it looks.If this has whet your appetite for next year's Food Matters Live events - you can already register your interest to partner with us in London and Rotterdam.

Recorded live on the show floor at SIAL Canada in Montreal, this Summer Bonus episode of The Food Professor podcast marks a first: an ingredient company winning the show's startup pitch competition. Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois sit down with Asha Wheeldon, Founder and CEO of Kula Foods and a member of the Maia Farms team, and Jason Mackay, Chief Marketing and Sales Officer at Maia Farms, just hours after the Vancouver company added more hardware to its trophy shelf. Maia Farms makes functional mushroom food ingredients. The company combines oyster mushroom powder with Canadian yellow pea protein and extrudes it into grounds, shreds, chunks and strips that mimic ground beef, pulled meat and chicken. The result is 66 per cent protein per 100 grams, a heavy dose of fibre and iron, a two-year shelf life and no cold storage required. Crucially for manufacturers, the extrudates survive the retort process where soy and pea proteins break down, which is why 100-year-old Pembroke, Ontario soup canner Sprague Foods signed on as a partner. Asha explains how a two-and-a-half-minute pitch built on storytelling rather than numbers won over the judges, and why trust and partnership are Maia's real proof points, including work with the Greater Vancouver Food Bank that has helped feed hundreds of thousands of families. Jason unpacks the technology behind the ingredient and what comes next: cracking mushroom mycelium at commercial scale through liquid fermentation, moving from 3,000-litre proof-of-concept batches to 20,000 litres, with global ingredient players like ADM and Cargill circling mycelium as a clean-label fat mimic and binder. The conversation turns to a bigger question Michael and Sylvain saw play out across the show: is Canada on the cusp of an ingredient renaissance? Pitch competitions usually reward consumer-ready products, from popsicles to upcycled coffee grounds. This year, the fundamentals of food won. The panel connects that shift to front-of-pack labelling, the clean-label push, manufacturers hunting for protein, fibre and iron without wrecking taste and texture, and the trust that Brand Canada's food safety reputation carries into export markets. They also tackle affordability. With beef and chicken prices climbing, Sylvain's "protein orphans" are being left behind, and GLP-1 users are pushing protein demand higher still. A shelf-stable, high-protein ingredient that disappears into a lasagna or pasta sauce when seasoned properly is a genuinely different answer to food insecurity. Plus: what winning an award actually does for a young company, why Maia was the only mushroom ingredient supplier on the SIAL floor, and the company's plan to bring business home to Canada after building traction in the US, Mexico, Singapore and Japan. A smart, optimistic listen on where Canadian food innovation goes next.

#323 Fibremaxxing is having a real moment right now — and while I'm all for people increasing their fibre intake to support their microbiome, "eat more fibre" isn't universal advice for constipation. For a specific group of people, more fibre doesn't just fail to help. It genuinely makes things worse. In this episode, I walk through exactly who fibre can backfire for and why — including SIBO and IMO, pelvic floor dysfunction (dyssynergic defecation), and slow transit constipation. I cover the real mechanisms behind how fibre works, why fluid intake changes the equation, what the research actually shows about low FODMAP diets (and what it doesn't), and why I don't believe in long-term fibre or FODMAP restriction. If you've increased your fibre, done everything "right," and either nothing's changed, or you've gotten worse — this episode explains why that's not failure; it's information. Links:

Could 12 everyday high-fibre foods really help lower your risk of heart disease, dementia and some cancers?  The world is obsessed with protein, but fewer than 1 in 10 people eat enough fibre. But this year, fiber is making an unexpected comeback. In this episode, legendary chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and ZOE's Chief Scientist Professor Sarah Berry ask whether fibre is another food trend or a powerful part of our diet that we have overlooked. Taking inspiration from Hugh's new book High Fibre Heroes, they explore how fibre feeds your gut microbes, helps you feel full and slows the release of sugar into your blood. And, by the end of the episode, you'll know how to eat more fibre without costly ingredients or difficult recipes, and how to turn familiar foods into simple meals packed with flavour. Are you buying more protein while overlooking the foods your body may need most? The answer could already be in your cupboard, freezer or fridge.

Dans le sud-est du Kenya, la culture du sisal séduit de plus en plus de petits agriculteurs. Résistante à la sécheresse, cette fibre naturelle offre une alternative économique, malgré des contraintes d'investissement et de temps. De notre correspondante de retour de Taita-Taveta, Dans la région de Taita-Taveta, les champs de sisal s'étalent à perte de vue. La grande majorité appartient à de grandes exploitations. Mais de petits agriculteurs s'y mettent aussi. Rachel Kilonzo a planté ses premiers pieds il y a 8 ans. Elle récolte deux fois par an : « Je pense que vous pouvez voir le sourire sur mon visage, parce que je me dis que la récolte approche. Et je sais que quand je récolterai, j'aurai de l'argent en poche. » Une réponse aux sécheresses récurrentes Cette région, près de la côte est du Kenya, subit des sécheresses de plus en plus fréquentes qui affectent les cultures traditionnelles de maïs et de légumineuses. Le sisal est perçu comme une alternative. « Le sisal résiste même en cas de sécheresse. Le mien a huit ans. Je ne l'ai jamais arrosé et il n'a jamais séché, témoigne Rachel Kilonzo. Je ne l'ai jamais traité non plus. C'est donc très économique. Il y a même eu une période où il n'a pas plu pendant presque un an. Mais dès que les premières pluies sont arrivées, mon sisal s'est très bien porté. » Rachel vend ses récoltes à une plus grande exploitation voisine. Le Kenya exporte environ 95 % de sa production de sisal. La fibre naturelle connaît un regain d'intérêt à l'échelle mondiale, explique Paul Opee, directeur adjoint des conseils de service technique au sein de l'organisme public en charge de la régulation des cultures à fibres au Kenya : « Le premier producteur de sisal au monde est le Brésil, suivi, de loin, par la Tanzanie, puis par le Kenya. Mais la demande mondiale est bien supérieure à l'offre, donc le secteur a encore un fort potentiel de croissance. » À lire aussiAu Kenya, du miel et de l'agroforesterie pour préserver l'environnement Un potentiel freiné par les contraintes d'investissement L'organisme soutient les petits agriculteurs pour adopter la culture du sisal, tout comme la Taita Taveta Wildlife Association. En plus d'être résiliente, la plante permet de lutter contre l'érosion des sols. Mais l'agriculture à petite échelle représente encore moins de 5 % de la production kényane. « Pour cultiver du sisal, il faut commencer par faire pousser pendant environ 2 ans un jeune plant dans une pépinière, explique Paul Opee. Une fois mis en terre, il faut encore attendre 3 ans avant la première récolte. Ensuite, la récolte est possible pendant une dizaine d'années, avec un pic de production autour de la sixième année. Dans les zones arides et semi-arides, les populations sont relativement pauvres, leur demander de se lancer dans la culture du sisal alors qu'elles devront attendre cinq ans avant d'en tirer des revenus est quasiment impossible. » À cela s'ajoute le coût des outils nécessaires pour extraire les fibres des feuilles de sisal. Si le Kenya exporte ensuite principalement cette fibre, elle peut aussi être transformée en produits à plus forte valeur ajoutée, comme des paniers, un savoir-faire traditionnel dans la région.

Fibre-maxxing, high protein everything, GLP-1 injections... diet trends come and go, but does your body actually care what's fashionable? In this episode, Dr Lucy Burns and Dr Mary Barson take a good look at why real food, higher protein and lower carb eating remains one of the most effective approaches for metabolic health, no matter what's currently having a moment on social media. Dr Lucy and Dr Mary unpack why our physiology hasn't caught up with our rapidly changing food environment, and why that matters for anyone trying to lose weight or improve their health. They explore the difference between trendy fibre and food-industry fibre, why adherence (not willpower) is usually the real barrier to lasting change, and how GLP-1 medications can work in partnership with a real food, lower carb approach rather than replacing it. They also bust the myth that these medications are "cheating," explaining how they may help quiet food noise so people can actually use the tools they've learned. If you've ever felt like low carb is old news, this episode is an evidence-informed reminder that some fundamentals never really go out of style. Tune in for practical insight you can actually use, trendy or not.

Episodio 624 con Luca e Gabriele Intermite, una nuova entry alla conduzione e parte della divisione social della nostra redazione. Episodio tutto su mare e polimeri, una strana combinazione. Luca ci parlerà di un nuovo articolo uscito su Nature, che tratta si una "pelle sintetica" che prende ispirazione dalle capacità di camouflage dei cefalopodi come polpi e seppie. La pelle è costituita da un polimero conduttore in grado di rigonfiarsi in maniera selettiva, formando strutture superfciali oridnate, e rispondrere alla luce, colorandosi in base alla dimesione delle strutture. Nel nostro intervento esterno, Leonardo intervista Ion Turcanu, che ci parla di “Digital Twin” per guida autonoma e guida da remoto. Torniamo in studio con la barza brutta, dove Gabriele da il meglio di se e dimostra di essere degno membro della redazione. Nella seconda parte dell'episodio, Gabriele ci parla di alcuni polimeri altamente specializzati come neoprene, kevlar e nanofibre di polietilene, in grado di poter essere impiegati nella realizzazione di mute "antisqualo", ma anche altre più interessanti e importanti applicazioni nella vita di tutti i giorni. Per supportarci iscrivetevi al supporters club di spreaker, oppure potete contibuire con una donazione su paypal!Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scientificast-la-scienza-come-non-l-hai-mai-sentita--1762253/support.

I've been talking a lot about healthy protein and sometimes it can feel like you have to pick a side. Protein or fibre. But for long-term health, you want both on your plate.The problem is, 96% of people still don't hit the recommended daily fibre target. Even if you eat vegetables at every meal. A salad is brilliant for micronutrients and polyphenols, but alone it's usually not enough to reach the 30g of fibre a day linked to better gut health, satiety, cholesterol and a lower risk of disease.But for a lot of people, trying to eat more fibre comes with one big problem… bloating.So today I'm joined by Dr Emily Leeming, former chef, registered dietitian, scientist at King's College London and author of the new book ‘Fibre Power', to break down how to increase fibre in a way that works for your gut.She brings a rare combination of ongoing research, clinical practice and love for food.We cover:Key signs you may not be eating enough fibreHow to eat 30g of fibre a day without bloatingHigh-fibre foods people often overlookThe difference between high and low FODMAP foodsWhether fibre supplements are worth itOne fibre habit to start todayIt's a really practical episode and I hope it leaves you inspired to make a few tweaks to gently increase your fibre intake.

Have you ever seen a headline claiming a certain food can boost your fertility and rolled your eyes? You're not wrong to be sceptical, and most of what circulates online about diet and conception is wellness noise dressed up as science.This time, the science actually holds up. A new 2026 study traces a real, step by step mechanism from what's on your plate to whether an embryo implants.In this episode of The Science of Motherhood, Dr Renee White breaks down a new mouse study linking dietary fibre, gut bacteria and the uterine immune system. She walks through how the pathway works, where the research falls short, and what's reasonable to take from it if you're trying to conceive.You'll Hear About:Why mouse studies are used in fertility researchWhat the new 2026 fibre study foundHow gut bacteria influence uterine immune toleranceWhy this mechanism doesn't yet prove human benefitWhat foods support this specific fibre pathwayYou don't need to overhaul your diet to take this seriously. Paying attention to fibre quality, not only quantity, is a small, evidence-backed step available to you now. The mechanism is real, even if the guarantee isn't, and that still counts for something.If this episode helped you look at fertility diet advice differently, share it with a friend who's trying to conceive and wading through conflicting information.

If you're struggling with constipation and bloating no matter how much water you drink or fiber you eat, methane overgrowth in your gut could be the real problem. The episode focuses on methane overgrowth in the gut, highlighting how methanogens produce methane, which can slow digestion and exacerbate symptoms. Tara explains the importance of proper testing, both for methane and thyroid issues, to identify the real cause of gut discomfort. The discussion explores why standard stool tests often miss methane overgrowth and shared practical steps for effective diagnosis and symptom relief. In this episode: What methane overgrowth actually is and why it causes constipation The difference between methane in the colon and methane-dominant SIBO Why so many women are never tested properly Why bloating patterns can give us clues about what's really going on Why fibre isn't the problem (even if it currently makes you feel worse) The connection I often see between sluggish thyroid function and methane overgrowth   July *LIVE* Gut Fix Hangout Stop Blaming the Food.

Questions have been raised over how a single fibre cable, chewed through by rats, was enough to shut down an entire Christchurch secondary school. Hillmorton High School has reopened today after asking students to learn from home for two days because of the damage. The school lost WiFi, phone lines, CCTV, and access to the student management system. Secondary Principals' Council Chair Steve McCracken told Mike Hosking while the circumstances are bizarre, schools can't operate safely when critical systems go down.

Food Chain presenter Ruth Alexander was confident that she was eating a healthy diet, in particular, a diet that included enough fibre. But it turns out, like many of us, her fibre intake has been falling short of the recommended amount. In fact all over the world most of us are failing to eat enough, despite the growing trend for so called "fibremaxxing" where people try to maximise their daily intake. So how can we boost our fibre intake? And does it really have to involve chia seeds? Ruth picks the brains of fibre expert Professor Joanne Slavin from the University of Minnesota and Fathima Abdoola, known as The Cultural Dietitian, based in Brisbane Australia. And psychologist Phillippa Lally from the University of Surrey in the UK, explains how we can make our well intentioned new habits stick.
