Most adults are falling short on one of the most important (and underrated) nutrients for gut health, blood sugar balance, and feeling full: fiber. The daily recommendation is 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men, yet the average intake in North America is only around 15 grams per day. That’s a big gap, and when we don’t get enough, we often feel it through sluggish digestion, more hunger between meals, or inconsistent energy. So here’s my question for you today: Do you currently track your fiber intake, or do you think about it at all when planning your meals? If you’re not sure where you stand, I encourage you to take a quick look at your food for the next few days (even without weighing or measuring everything). You might be surprised by what you discover. Let me know if your hitting the recommended intake, or if adding more fiber is goal you’re working towards.

Hi ladies I have a prayer request. Tomorrow Bowen and I are in Edmonton for a checkup with his oncologist to get the results of his PET scan and we are praying for a miracle that his whole body will be healed of illness and we can a move forward from this journey we’ve been on. Also prayers for my Mom & Dad who are struggling. My Mom (69) has dementia and it seems to be increasing in severity and is so hard for my Dad, who is also getting older (he turns 83 this year). This is very had on me as I’m so far away from them (Calgary). Appreciate any and all prayers at this time 🙏

Most people think of fiber as “just something that helps you go to the bathroom.” But it does so much more than that. There are two main types of fiber, and both are essential: Soluble Fiber This type dissolves in water and forms a gel-like substance in your gut. It helps: • Stabilize blood sugar • Lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol • Feed your beneficial gut bacteria • Keep you feeling full longer Insoluble Fiber This type doesn’t dissolve — it adds bulk and speeds things through your digestive tract. It helps: • Promote regular bowel movements • Prevent constipation • Support gut motility and overall digestive health Why hitting your fiber goals matters: -Better blood sugar control -Improved cholesterol levels -Stronger gut microbiome (which affects everything from immunity to mood) -Reduced risk of chronic disease -Easier weight management and sustained energy That’s why focusing on quality, fiber-rich whole foods (like the ones in the graphic below) makes such a big difference. Save this post and the image so you can easily reference the best sources of each type of fiber. Which type do you usually get more of — soluble or insoluble? Drop your answer below 👇
