Fiber: The secret ingredient to a healthier you

Unlock the Power of Fiber for Better Health

March 17, 20253 min read

Most people don’t think much about fiber—but it’s one of the most powerful tools for improving your health. Unfortunately, 95% of Americans don’t get enough of it.

Are you one of them?

Fiber plays a crucial role in keeping your body running smoothly. It supports:

  • Better Digestion: Say goodbye to bloating and irregularity.

  • Heart Health: Lower cholesterol and reduce your risk of heart disease.

  • Stable Energy Levels: Feel full longer, avoid crashes, and curb cravings.

  • Weight Management: High-fiber foods keep you satisfied, making it easier to maintain or lose weight.

  • Mental Health: A healthy gut communicates with the brain to regulate mood and cognition.

A new study looking at over 28,000 people found that lower fiber intake was strongly associated with moderate to severe depression. Individuals consuming less than 11.95 grams of fiber per day were significantly more likely to experience severe depressive symptoms. Consuming more than 18.7 grams of fiber per day was linked to the lowest risk of moderate to severe depression.

Most Americans consume only 10-15 grams of fiber per day, putting them at risk for depression symptoms.

Here’s the good news…

Adding fiber to your diet doesn’t require a complete overhaul—it’s all about small, sustainable changes.

Here are three easy ways to increase your fiber intake:

  • Add Fruits and Veggies to Every Meal: Aim for a variety of colors to boost both fiber and nutrients.

  • Switch to Whole Grains: Choose brown rice, quinoa, or whole-grain bread instead of refined grains.

  • Snack Smart: Grab nuts, seeds, or raw veggies for a high-fiber snack that keeps you satisfied.

But here’s the catch: Not all fiber sources work the same way for everyone, and adding too much too quickly can cause discomfort.

That’s why having a personalized plan and coach is key to finding what works best for your body and lifestyle.
