Fibremaxxing: The Gut Health Upgrade You’ve Been Ignoring

Fibremaxxing: The Gut Health Upgrade You’ve Been Ignoring

This week on chattin' sh*t, we’re talking about the most underrated thing in your diet: fibre. And honestly, it might be the one that changes everything.


Alana sits down with registered nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert to unpack why only around 4% of us are getting enough fibre, and what that’s quietly doing to our gut, hormones, mood, and long-term health. From the literal magic happening in your microbiome to the role of short-chain fatty acids in reducing inflammation, this episode goes way beyond “eat your veg.”


We get into:

• Why fibre isn’t just about hitting 30g a day, it’s about diversity, colour, and what you add in

• The link between fibre and blood sugar, heart health, and even skin (yes, really)

• The rising bowel cancer stats, and why over half of cases are diet-related

• The truth about protein hype, sugar fears, and why fibre slows glucose spikes

• Women’s health, hormones, and why your gut bugs matter more than you think

• Fibre and mental health, and the gut-brain connection you can’t ignore

• Bloating, building tolerance, and how to actually increase fibre without wrecking your gut


We’re calling it fibremaxxing, but without the chaos. No restriction, no overhaul, no sad salads. Just smarter additions, better gut bugs, and a very strong case for finally giving fibre the spotlight it deserves.


Plus: why kiwis are elite, why we’ve completely lost the plot on protein, and the one simple thing you can start doing tomorrow that your gut will thank you for.
