#327 The Happiness Nutrient: How Fiber Boosts Mood, Gut Health, and Longevity with Farzanah Nasser

Hi, and welcome to How Humans Heal.

I'm Dr. Donnie Wilson.

In today's episode, I'm really looking forward to introducing you to this special person and author.

This is Farzana Nasser, and she's a registered nutritionist as well as a certified functional medicine practitioner.

And she specializes in gut and immune health for over 10 years in clinical practice.

And she is the author of this book, the Everyday High Fiber Plan, which is just so amazing and filled with delicious recipes that she also shares a lot about on social media.

So welcome so much for joining us today, Farzana.

I'm so glad you're here.

Thank you so much for having me.

I'm really excited to be here and to be talking to you.

Oh, my goodness.

It's so awesome, really, because to follow you along the way as you were sharing your recipes and working on the book and then having the book released.

And I see it behind you there, too.

Yes.

You've been sharing a lot about it.

And it's such an important topic, Fyber.

It's, of course, having its moment in a lot of different areas today.

And I love that you are a person to explain it because as simple as it sounds, right? I mean, fiber seems like something we've all heard or kind of know about, and yet it's so important and it's so overlooked.

And so I'm really excited to get to dig into this topic.

So many patients will ask me the question, Dr. Dani, should I be eating more fiber and which fiber should I have? So I know this is going to be such a good resource for everyone.
