A Nurse's F-Bomb: Good Word For Good Health

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.
