    Beyond macros - fibre

    I explore why dietary fibre is the crucial next step after you've dialed in your protein, carbs, and fats. Many people track their fibre intake, but fewer understand that not all fibre is created equal. I break down the difference between soluble and insoluble fibre and explain why a diverse intake from various sources is essential for optimal health.

I'll provide practical recommendations on how much fibre you should aim for and the best whole-food sources to help you get there.
