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.

Great stuff

This book brings science and tons of solid, useful advice. I look forward to implement everything I heard in my diet. I am vegan but there's so much info on plant-based eating I had no idea about. I used to improvise and hope what I was doing was right, now I've got a direction to follow that I feel confident will take my health to a new level, all while bringing new tasty stuff to the mix.

Eye-opening, empowering and exciting.

This book is a fascinating look into the world of our body’s microbiota and how the health of the ecosystem in our gut impacts our entire body. What’s exciting is just how much of an impact we can have on our health with what we choose to put into our body and other lifestyle choices. Dr. Bulsiewicz does a fantastic job making the science accessible and actionable. So much about diet and health makes more sense after listening to this audiobook. I could not recommend it more highly.

Great Information

Great information on the many diseases that affect North America and how our lack of various types of fibre are one of the causes. He sites his research into his findings and gives practical and easy to implement advice.

Informative!!

I have always been pro-meat and would have thought myself to never consider a book like this (pro-plant based) let alone completely "buy in". Dr. B does an amazing job explaining the "how" and "why" behind it all, which is what I need! I've watched the Netflix docs that promote plant based but none of them make me get it like this book! My mind slowly transitioned and before I was done the book, I just couldn't wait to start!! I'm on day 2 while I have completed the book and enjoying everything I've eaten so far.....things I wouldn't think I would like, like the Arugula Pesto, but It was amazing!! Everything is so full of flavor and I can't wait to try everything else and see where this new lifestyle takes me and my husband!!!

This book was interesting and the author is really good at explaining medical fact with his own story. I will try his 4 week challenge.

Mind blowing, life changing content

Loved this, sound scientifically driven information extremely well organized. Only criticism is I didn't at all care for the narrator, wish the author had read this. Would be an incredible improvement.
