Best of 2025: Fiber, Cholesterol & Microplastics — What Everyone Wanted to Know

What if the most-watched health topics of 2025 could help you live healthier, longer, and with more control over your body?

This Best of The Exam Room Podcast 2025 compilation brings together the three pisodes that viewers couldn't stop watching — because they tackled problems that affect nearly everyone:

✔️ High cholesterol
✔️ Low fiber intake
✔️ Exposure to microplastics

This episode features highlights from separate interviews with Chuck Carroll and Dr. Michael Greger, Dr. Danielle Belardo, and Dr. Hana Kahleova — the conversations that delivered the most practical, science-backed value to viewers in 2025.

🥉 LOWER CHOLESTEROL NATURALLY

Learn how food can help lower LDL cholesterol without medication, which foods actively remove cholesterol from the body, and how small daily changes may reduce heart disease risk.

🥈 FIBER FOR HEART, GUT & WEIGHT HEALTH

Discover why fiber helps you feel fuller, supports heart health, improves digestion, and may make weight management easier — plus how to increase fiber safely without discomfort. And why Dr. Belardo eats an astonishing 90 grams of fiber every day!

🥇 MICROPLASTICS — AND HOW TO REDUCE THEM

Understand how microplastics enter your body, why they matter for long-term health, and what research suggests about using diet and movement to help your body clear them out. Dr. Kahleova shares how your food choices can help cleanse the body of microplastics naturally.
