Fiber Fueled

Introduction:
Leslie came into my office worn out and exasperated. She was thirty- six years old, but she felt like she was pushing eighty. She was overweight, a trend that started in her late twenties while taking the antibiotic minocycline for her acne. She struggled daily with fatigue, sluggishness, insomnia, and lack of motivation. Her skin was broken out, her hair was thinning, and she had persistent loose stools. On top of all this was her extensive list of medical ailments: irritable bowel, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, autoimmune thyroiditis, depression, and anxiety.
After seeing several other GI doctors, a chiropractor, a hormone specialist, and an expensive cash- only functional doctor, she was confused and frustrated by the conflicting recommendations. Here she was at thirty- six, on four different medications with ten supplements to boot. This isn t the life I envisioned for myself, she told me on that first visit. I m way too young to be feeling this old.
Much of her frustration stemmed from not knowing what to eat. What should have been simple had become so complicated. She had gone Paleo in her late twenties to combat weight gain and she soon progressed to the Whole 30. She felt better for a short time on those diets, but when the weight gain and fatigue slowly started to creep back in, she desperately searched for a new diet solution and tried eliminating phytates and lectins. She d been gluten- free for almost ten years and by the time I saw her in my office, she had completely eliminated grains, legumes, dairy, and nightshades. Her diet now consisted mostly of arugula, avocado, grass- fed meat, and bone broth, with very little variation. At times she d test herself with some beans or whole- wheat bread, but she d experience gas and bloating, which the diet gurus she was following warned was proof of inflammation.
It is maddening to follow all the experts recommendations religiously and do exactly as I m told, only to feel worse
