For years, protein dominated the wellness conversation. Shakes, bars, and macro tracking became the gold standard of “healthy.” But a new movement is rapidly reshaping nutrition culture  and it isn’t coming from gyms or supplement brands. It’s coming from the gut.

In Episode 85 of the Orange Pill Podcast, we unpack the science behind #Fibermaxxing – the viral trend shifting attention from protein obsession to microbiome-driven health.

This episode explores why fiber has suddenly become the internet’s most powerful nutrient and how it connects directly to the decade’s most talked-about pharmaceutical target: GLP-1.

We break down:

• How fiber naturally stimulates GLP-1 –  the hormone behind fullness, glucose control, and metabolic regulation
• Why the U.S. is facing a hidden fiber deficiency crisis
• The biological risks of jumping from low fiber to extreme fiber overnight
• The overlooked science of soluble vs. insoluble fiber and fermentation
• How ultra-processed “fiber-added” foods differ from whole-food fiber sources
• And a practical, microbiome-safe way to increase intake without digestive fallout

Fibermaxxing isn’t a hack. It’s a return to biological fundamentals.
