When Fiber-Maxxing Backfires! How This Trend Can Actually Fuel Burnout
Have you seen the viral “fiber-maxxing” trend on TikTok — piling beans, oats, chia seeds, and psyllium into every meal? Sounds healthy, right? Not so fast. In this episode, I reveal why fiber isn’t always your friend — especially if you have hidden gut issues like SIBO or dysbiosis. Using my “gut garden” analogy, I’ll show you how fiber acts like fertilizer: it can grow fruits and vegetables (ally microbes that fuel your energy)… or weeds (overgrowth that steals your nutrients and leaves you burned out). ✅ What you’ll learn: • Why fiber can be a litmus test for gut health • The difference between feeding your allies vs. feeding weeds • How microbial metabolites act as messengers for your energy, mood, and resilience • Signs fiber is making you worse, not better • Which friendly fibers you can start with if you’re sensitive If fiber leaves you bloated, foggy, or fatigued, that’s not “just normal.” It’s a red flag from your gut garden. Don’t ignore the clues — learn how to pause, test, and rebalance so your body can thrive again. 👉 Join our 7-Day Burnout Reset Challenge: https://bit.ly/3ZYNm9x ✨ Simplifying Health. Empowering Life.
