If you think fibre is boring, this episode might just change your mind.

Dr Joanna McMillan, one of Australia’s leading nutrition scientists and dietitians, is on a mission to make fibre sexy again. With her new book The Fibre Factor, she unpacks why this overlooked ingredient and nutrient is key to gut health, heart health and overall wellbeing, and yes, it helps us all have a good bathroom experience!

In this episode of Straight To The Source, Joanna joins Lucy Allon to explore what she calls the modern fibre famine and why chefs, producers and home cooks all have a role to play in changing it. From menu innovation to embracing whole, plant-rich foods, this conversation is packed with practical, feel-good insights for building flavour and nutrition into every plate.

Smart, relatable and quietly game changing. Just like the food we should be eating.
