  1. I gained 30 kilos over 10 years… 8 years of that were begging multiple doctors for hrt! Finally have it, but 10 years too late. Insulin resistance is also caused by high sugar/carb intake. Carnivore/keto ladies… game changer!!!

  2. Everyone is so petrified of eating carbs including fruits and veggies these people are gonna be in serious trouble years down the road without getting enough fiber I keep telling everyone but they don’t listen.🤷‍♀️

  3. There is this one lady I follow and she is on strict carnivore, she does not eat one bit of fiber all meat and dairy only. I can only imagine what it’s doing to her colon, it makes me wonder how she even does a nice healthy elimination from her bowels?? I do high protein and a lot of flaxseed and Chia seeds and eat tons of broccoli and Brussel Sprouts. They are full of fiber and so good for you.😊

  4. I think it's funny that in the captions, fiber/fibre is spelled both the British way and the American way at different times 😂… I only noticed because I'm at the gym reading this in between sets with the volume down

  5. My question is why take it soluble rather than eat veggies and greens. Not every one can afford complements and are these not just for marketing even if Havard made the research. My question is would not eating them do the same in our body???

  6. That sounds great but how do you get that much fibre . As someone who has lost the ability to concentrate for long and research just goes in gets muddled up with everything else and vanishes . What does this amount of fibre look like as meals ?

  7. Guessing we need both soluble and i soluble from various sources and if not possible to get from food then psyllium might be too choice. Some of my clients cant do psyllium even with alot of water (possibly due to weird intestinal shapes?). I cant do acacia possibly due to sibo tendencies. Another source of fiber might be resistence starch that is create with a certain type of cooling of starch rich foods. I think this topic needs a detailed info so people can make the right choices for themselves

  8. I’ve had a perforated bowel and went septic. Emergency surgery ended with an ileostomy. After 15 months of wearing that I had reversal surgery and the fixing of three hernias. Then I had a seroma and last November a bowel obstruction. I also have Hashimotos. Fibre is tricky with bowels that have been through so much

  9. Could you please make a video on insulin resistance, estrogen dominance and uterine fibroids showing up in peri menopause. Thank you!

  10. But what happens if fiber is causing digestion issues. Like all high fiber does to me is make me more bloated and more gassy and more uncomfortable. What is someone like me supposed to do about it? I literally feel like crap if I have too much fiber

  11. Are you saying that fiber only helps because insulin resistance is the cause? I’m confused. I’ve gained 60lbs, but my A1C is 5.1 and I tend to be hypoglycemic. I don’t have an issue with insulin, I don’t think? All the supplements said to help with perimenopausal weight gain make me sick and make my blood sugar too low. I’ve tried fiber supplements, but they cause gastrointestinal issues for me.
