Publisher's summary

A bold new plant-based plan that challenges popular keto and paleo diets, from an award-winning gastroenterologist.

The benefits of restrictive diets like paleo and keto have been touted for more than a decade, but as renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, or "Dr. B", illuminates in this groundbreaking audiobook, the explosion of studies on the microbiome makes it abundantly clear that elimination diets are in fact hazardous to our health. What studies clearly now show - and what Dr. B preaches with his patients - is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism, balancing our hormones, and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases. And the scientifically proven way to fuel our guts is with dietary fiber from an abundant variety of colorful plants.

Forget about the fiber your grandmother used to take - the cutting-edge science on fiber is incredibly exciting. As Dr. B explains, fiber energizes our gut microbes to create powerhouse postbiotics called short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that are essential to our health. SCFAs are scientifically proven to promote weight loss, repair leaky gut, strengthen the microbiome, optimize the immune system, reduce food sensitivities, lower cholesterol, reverse type 2 diabetes, improve brain function, and even prevent cancer. Restrictive fad diets starve the gut of the critical fiber we need, weaken the microbes, and make our system vulnerable.

As a former junk-food junkie, Dr. B knows firsthand the power of fiber to dramatically transform our health. The good news is that our guts can be trained. Fiber-rich, real foods - with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts, and legumes - start working quickly and maintain your long-term health, promote weight loss, and allow you to thrive and feel great from the inside out.

With a 28-day jump-start program with menus and more than 65 recipes, along with essential advice on food sensitivities, Fiber Fueled offers the blueprint to start turbocharging your gut for lifelong health today.

Includes a PDF of recipes and shopping lists.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

LIFE CHANGING BOOK!

If you are serious about your health you need to listen to this book. If you aren’t serious about your health then you should be and you really need to listen to this book. I heard Dr. B on a Rich Roll podcast. 10 minutes into the podcast I stopped and purchased the book. EXCELLENT! FYI the podcast is excellent too.

very informative. enjoyable. encouraging!

can't wait to get started with the fiber fueled 4 weeks. Dr B sends a great message with sound science and experiences that are relatable. nice to feel like I'm not alone. I really enjoyed this book and will check back after the program!

Life Changing

This book is awesome. Dr. B, breaks down the information in a manner that is easy to follow. My favorite chapter was about the prebiotics and probiotics. I had so many questions answered regarding the use of those supplements. I am looking forward to the fiber fueled 4 weeks jump start.

Live Long and Prosper

I devoured this book. There is a ton of medical information but the humor and analogies make it all easy to grasp. This is definitely a lifestyle overall but as they say when the student is ready, the teacher appears. Thanks for writing this book, Dr. Will!

A treasure trove of sound nutritional advice.

I was sucked into this audio book immediately. Very easy listening. I finished it in two days and gained a wealth of very valuable information about healthy eating habits. I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone.

Excellent Cutting Edge

This book has helped me move to the next level regarding my diet and lifestyle. New learning throughout. Well worth the read/listen.

Worth Every Penny

Well written and well read. Easy to digest (no pun intended). This is a great foundational book for anyone looking to boost their health during this time. Lots of my questions were answered such as my back and forth with coffee. This book is better than some of the naturopaths I’ve talked to. As someone who values implementation of ideas over just the ideas themselves, the book ends with a great set of actionable steps to help those with determined intentions to fix their health and identify the problem children of their own body’s gut mix.
