Video Description
Fiber might just be the best defense against heart disease -- and you're probably not getting enough (even if you're plant-based). Cardiologist Dr. Danielle Belardo says she eats 90 grams of fiber per day. That's more than three times the recommended minimum amount for women. And she says eating more fiber can not only protect your heart, it can reverse heart disease -- even in people who have had a heart attack or stroke! Dr. Belardo breaks down what most people (and even some doctors) get wrong about heart health. She shares how much fiber you actually need, why some people feel bloated when they add beans or greens, and how to increase fiber intake without the discomfort. Dr. Belardo also shares why she encourages her patients to use MyFitnessPal to easily track fiber and nutrient intake. On this episode of The Exam Room, you'll learn: - How much fiber you actually need in a day - The best sources of fiber (that actually taste amazing!) - How to use MyFitnessPal to get more fiber in your diet - How to increase your fiber intake without the gas and bloating - What fad diets get wrong about cholesterol and heart health - What studies show about fiber's impact on heart disease 🔗 SHOW LINKS 🔗 MyFitnessPal https://www.myfitnesspal.com Danielle Belardo https://www.precisionpreventivecardiology.com IG: https://www.instagram.com/daniellebelardomd 🎟️ EVENTS 🎟️ International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine Where: Washington, DC When: August 14-16, 2025 Tix & Speakers: https://www.pcrm.org/icnm Fit Vegan Workshop Where: Vancouver, BC, Canada When: Sept. 20-21, 2025 Tix: https://fitvegancoaching.com/vancouver-2025 Used code CHUCK to save $112 Wellness Weekend Where: Canaan Valley Resort - Davis, WV When: Sept. 26-27, 2025 Tix & Speakers: https://www.brendaworkmanspeaks.com/wellness-weekend About Us The Physicians Committee is dedicated to saving lives through plant-based diets and ethical and effective scientific research.
