The Fibre Factor

Dr Joanna McMillan's 'The Fibre Factor' delves into the wide-ranging roles of dietary fibre beyond just bowel regularity, covering its effects on the gut microbiome, inflammation, brain function, and detox pathways.

Drawing on decades of research, she outlines practical strategies and a 'fibre dream team' of foods to boost both the quantity and diversity of fibre in everyday diets.

The book translates complex scientific findings into accessible guidance, emphasising gradual increases in fibre and food-first approaches.

It also addresses common misconceptions and commercial 'detox' products, promoting evidence-based choices.

Overall, the book combines scientific detail with practical recipes and tips to help readers improve health through plant-rich, fibre-diverse eating.
