About this episode
We're talking F-words on the show today! That's right: Fiber! From gut health to glucose control, fiber is the unsung hero of your diet. Registered Nurse and mom Kylie Buckner joins us to explain why she's a fiber fanatic — and how she's teaching her 3-year-old (a self-declared vegan) to love fiber, too. This plant-based advocate joins us to drop some F-bombs (family-friendly ones) and share everything you need to get started on adding more fiber to your diet. She joined Chuck Carroll at the National Health Association conference in Cleveland. In this episode of The Exam Room, you'll learn: - How much fiber you actually need in a day (hint: it's more than you think) - How to talk to kids about gut health and good food - How fiber slows sugar absorption and protects blood sugar - Kylie's go-to high-fiber foods that taste great - How much protein you really need - The best fiber-rich plant-based protein sources Check out Kylie's new podcast Green Glow Lifestyle on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. — — SHOW LINKS — — Kylie Buckner Evolution Health: https://evolution-health.co — — — Green Glow Lifestyle Podcast Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/green-glow-lifestyle/id1794166113 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6xtYoO9Qs3dfFNWLizZkgW — — EVENTS — — International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine Where: Washington, DC When: August 14-16, 2025 Tix & Speakers: https://www.pcrm.org/icnm Use code NUTRITION50 to save $50 — — — Fit Vegan Workshop Where: Vancouver, BC, Canada When: Sept. 20-21, 2025 Tix: https://fitvegancoaching.com/vancouver-2025 Use code CHUCK to save $112 — — — Wellness Weekend Where: Canaan Valley Resort - Davis, WV When: Sept. 26-27, 2025 Tix & Speakers: https://www.brendaworkmanspeaks.com/wellness-weekend — — — National Health Association Conference Where: Cleveland, OH When: June 25-28, 2026 Tix: https://bit.ly/NHA2026 — —EXAM ROOM NEWSLETTER — — Sign up: https://www.pcrm.org/examroomvip — — THIS IS US — — The Exam Room Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexamroompodcast — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChuckCarrollWLC X: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org X: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/PCRM Jobs: https://www.pcrm.org/careers — — SUBSCRIBE & SHARE — — 5-Star Success: Share Your Story Apple: https://apple.co/2JXBkpy Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2pMLoY3 — — — Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.
