You don’t need fibre to be healthy. Here’s why. With Dr Zoë Harcombe and Dr Peter Brukner

Is fibre just a way of making expensive poo? What if everything you’ve been told about fibre is wrong? In this powerful and thought-provoking webinar, Dr Peter Brukner sits down with nutrition researcher Dr Zoë Harcombe to challenge one of the most deeply ingrained beliefs in nutrition: that fibre is essential for good health. Together, they explore the history behind fibre recommendations, bust common myths about constipation, blood sugar and disease prevention, and question the guidelines that shape what we eat — especially for those living with type 2 diabetes. Whether you're curious, confused or just ready for a fresh perspective, this is one conversation you won’t want to miss. ▬▬ CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction to Fibre and Health 04:07 Zoë Harcombe's Journey into Nutrition Research 08:48 Understanding Fibre: Definition and Types 13:42 The Myths of Fire and Constipation 18:16 Whole Grains: Are They Really Essential? 23:09 Fibre's Impact on Blood Sugar and Diabetes 27:48 The Consequences of Excessive Fibre Intake 28:16 The Impact of Diet on Health 29:18 Fibre in Dietary Guidelines: A Historical Perspective 32:32 The Evidence (or Lack Thereof) for Fibre 37:07 Challenging Dietary Guidelines 40:05 Gut Health and the Role of Fibre 42:38 Addressing Common Dietary Questions 46:44 Cholesterol Management and Fibre 50:38 Fibre and Women's Health 53:48 Final Thoughts on Fiber and Nutrition ▬▬🔻ABOUT US🔻 Defeat Diabetes is the first evidence-based and doctor-led program that can help send pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes into remission through a low carb approach.
