Eager to understand why everyone is suddenly talking about fiber? Ethan sits down with Paige to break down the new food pyramid, why fiber has become such a hot topic, and what actually matters for long-term health. They discuss whole food sources of fiber, whether supplements and gummies are worth taking, the role of protein, complete versus incomplete proteins, and why food labels can be misleading.

Ethan also explains how fiber may support satiety, gut health, and overall wellness, while keeping expectations grounded in real-world nutrition.
