Welcome back to another episode of the talk. Today we are talking everything microbiome and fiber and fiber supplements.

I really want to talk about that too.

Oh yes, yes. But first, can you give me some of your hacks for increasing your fiber intake and or your fermented food intake.

Oh, so first of this reflects on what we learned from Amy Hanus from Full Plate Living.

We do want to slowly increase our fiber intake.

And there's some really easy ways to do it.

A couple for me is that as I'm packing my lunch and I usually like take a couple of pieces of fruit like a tangerine that's in season now and apples.
