Summary
On today's episode of EMBody Radio, I had the pleasure of interviewing Tanya Zuckerbrot, MS, RD, and the founder of the incredible weight loss solution, theF-Factor™ diet. F-Factor™ is based on scientific principles of nutrition, and provides a liberating and sustainable way to approach weight loss and health for life. In our interview, we talked ALL things fiber, including:
-How Tanya "accidentally" created a really successful weight loss program while trying to help improve disease markers in cardiovascular patients and diabetics.
-The structure and function of dietary fiber.
-Why fiber is a great weight loss aid.
-How fiber works to improve everything from gut health, to cholesterol, to blood glucose, to even healthy hormone regulation.
-Why you need fiber to build the physique of your dreams.
-How to get more fiber into your day, especially when you're a busy business-woman/parent/athlete/all of the above.
-Health trends that actually aren't so healthy.
-So much more!

Today's episode of EMBody Radio is brought to you by Four Sigmatic. Four Sigmatic provides the best in adaptogenic/therapeutic mushroom products. You've seen me post about this stuff on Instagram and IG stories all the time, and I wanted to take a sec to tell you a little more about them today. I started using them because I love adaptogens, and many of their mushroom products are just that – adaptogens. Adaptogens basically help you respond better to physical and emotional stress. I run a business, run multiple social media platforms that tie into my business, I'm a student, and I have a life outside of all that that I'm trying to live, so stress management is key. Mushrooms can also be used to help everything from your gut health to your skin.
My favorites are the Lion's Mane Mushroom Elixir and the Mushroom Hot Cacao with Reishi... Be sure to listen to the whole episode to learn why ;). If you want to try Four Sigmatic products, use the code "EMDUNC" to get 15% off your order at foursigmatic.com/emdunc.
