You should be afraid of colon cancer (ep5)

🎙️ Episode in a Nutshell

Fiber doesn’t get the spotlight it deserves — but it should. In this episode, I’m sharing why fiber is one of the most powerful (and ignored) tools for better digestion, more stable energy, fewer cravings, and yes — lowering your risk of colon cancer.


🔑 Key Takeaways

  • Fiber does way more than help you poop — it supports your gut, energy, blood sugar, and hormones.

  • Colon cancer is on the rise in people under 50. A high-fiber diet is one of the best (and easiest) ways to reduce your risk.

  • Most of us aren’t getting enough fiber — women need 25–28g/day, men need 31–34g, and most people are only getting half that.

  • Small swaps go a long way: beans, whole grains, fruit with the skin, even popcorn.

  • Supplements can help but shouldn’t replace food-based fiber.


👩‍👧‍👦 Why It Matters

You don’t need a perfect diet — but if your digestion is off, your energy is crashing, or your snacks never satisfy, fiber might be the fix.
And with colon cancer rising in younger adults, this isn’t just a wellness trend — it’s real prevention.


Try This Today

  • Add one high-fiber food to your next meal: think beans, berries, or veggies with the skin on.

  • Check the nutrition label on something you eat every day. Does it even have fiber?

  • Drink extra water — fiber only works if it can move.
