I don't know the specific study that they're referring to. My initial skepticism, you can see there. I don't know if I would care enough. But it's plausible based on what I do know from studies in a very similar realm. So I'd say plausible, but I don't know. I don't really do that very often, so I'm not super worried about it.
It depends on how far up or down that priority list it is for you. If everything else is really dialed and this is the last little thing to figure out, then maybe this is making a big enough of an impact.

But if we're still worrying about this over top of the other big rocks we talked about earlier, you're eating 20 grams of protein a day, you're having irregular sleep schedule, then I'd be like, dude, you're way focused on the wrong thing. So it could be real, but whether you need to focus on it or pay attention to it would be up to what the individual situation is.

Or missing a meal or whatever the case is, right? So would I rather have you blend your banana strawberry smoothie rather than just going to the store and buying a, yes, it's still whole real food. It's still better probably than adding additional processing steps to it. Totally, totally.

And I don't know, if it represents some marginal increase in blood glucose elevation, just go for a walk and it's all gone. So who cares? It's pretty easy to manage.

Yeah, it helps with, I mean, darn near everything, from short and long-term gut health to mitigating blood glucose elevation to nutrient absorption to helping manage cholesterol levels, a ton of other reasons to go after it. I would say, in general, we've probably increased fiber intake more than we've done the opposite.

And I say that because there actually have been, and we just had one last week, Young 32-year-old guy is just on top of everything. Lots of IBS symptoms, was just convinced he had something happening with gut health or whatever. Okay, run stool tests, things like that. Take a look at it and he's eating like 50 grams of fiber a day. Okay, what's that mean?

The kind of rule of thumb we say is for every thousand calories you eat, you want to eat around 14 or so grams of fiber. So if you're eating 2,000 calories, you should be having, that would be 28 grams of fiber, which would mean, all right, somewhere between 25 and 30, like, you know, plus or minus. These numbers, like, don't get too specific with them.
