Did you know that 90% of adults don’t get enough fiber? If you’ve been told you have prediabetes—or you know you’re at risk—this shortfall could be making it harder to keep your blood sugar steady.

In this episode of Path to Better A1C, Jenny breaks down the “fiber gap,” why it’s such a big deal for prediabetes, and how to start closing it in realistic, sustainable ways. You’ll learn how fiber slows sugar absorption, prevents the spike-crash-craving cycle, and helps you feel satisfied longer. Plus, Jenny shares ten high-fiber foods across five key categories—beans, whole grains, fruits, seeds, and vegetables—so you can find options that work no matter your diet style.

Unlocking the Secrets of Gut Health

Gut health isn’t just about digestion—it’s a cornerstone of blood-sugar control, energy, and long-term wellness. In this conversation, host Jenny Pena, NBC-HWC, sits down with Conny Wade, FDNP, to unpack how a healthier microbiome can move the needle on diabetes management and insulin resistance. With science-backed insights and real-life stories, they explore the powerful link between whole-food nutrition, pre- and probiotics, and lifestyle choices that make (or break) metabolic health.

Top Takeaways

• ​Gut first, everything else follows. A resilient microbiome supports insulin sensitivity and lowers A1C.
• ​Whole foods > processed foods. Cutting the packaged stuff is the fastest way to calm inflammation.
• ​Feed the good bugs. Prebiotic-rich plants—think asparagus, onions, green bananas—are non-negotiable.
• ​Supplements aren’t one-size-fits-all. Strain specificity and quality matter more than big CFU numbers.
• ​Lifestyle is medicine. Stress management, movement, and quality sleep are equal partners to nutrition.
