About this listen

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 jumpstart 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.

I was looking forward to listening to the whole book but I just can't get it to play on my mp3 (Sandisk clip sport) player no matter what I do, every other book from audible plays fine so I don't know what the problem with this one is (and it is in the same enhanced format as my other audible books). From what I've listened to so far on my PC it is very interesting, and it comes with a helpful PDF. I'll get the kindle version too so I can read it properly. The challenge to eat 40 different plant foods a week is a great way to make healthy eating more interesting as it shifts the focus from removing "bad foods" to increasing good ones. I have IBS so I kind of cheat somewhat by making food into soups and smoothies and sometimes peeling fruits and veg, and I rarely eat salads, but I have still felt the benefits of eating a more diverse range of plant foods.

Good book, but won't play on my mp3 player.

Very interesting book! I already feel better inputting more plant diversity in my diet! Haven’t decided if I’d like to go meat free yet, but I’ve greatly reduced my meat in take and feel brilliant xxx

Amazing book

Let me start with the writer's CV:

- Med school at Georgetown School of Medicine
- Trained in medicine at Northwestern Memorial Hospital
- Trained in GASTROENTEROLOGY at The University of North Carolina Hospitals
- Got Master of Science in Clinical Investigation (MSCI) from Northwestern University
- Certificate in nutrition from Cornell University.
- Board-certified in internal medicine and gastroenterology

Given all the 'gurus', non medical doctors, influencers or even journalists online spreading their misinformation on gut health it was refreshing to see someone who is actually more than qualified to talk about it. Very thorough research, very well explained and from credible sources and studies. Definitely A MUST for anyone trying to understand the gut.

I found the guy reading the book a bit annoying I must admit, but the content was good. It would have been much better if Will B read it himself. Other than that, very educating. It just makes sense.

Great book
