The Ingredient You're Probably Not Getting Enough of... And It's Not Protein

Protein’s always trending… but can we talk about fiber for a sec? Women need at least 25 grams of fiber! I want to talk to you about an easy way to add fiber into your diet. 25 grams every single day is hard to do if you're just trying to get it from fruits and vegetables and if you're eating a low-carb diet (which many of my perimenopause clients are).

One of my favorite easy fixes: psyllium husk. It contains 5g of fiber per serving, has no added calories, fat, or protein—just straight-up fiber, and helps with blood sugar management, regularity, and digestion. It's recommended to take it before or with each meal because it helps slow digestion and manage glucose response, something that becomes even more important as we age. I like to put it on a cracker with some powdered peanut butter, mixed with water. You can put it in your yogurt, oatmeal, or smoothie; it's super easy to incorporate!
