We’ve all heard the advice: eat more fibre.

But emerging nutrition science suggests that might only be half the story. Fibre isn’t a single nutrient — it’s a broad category of plant-based compounds that behave differently in the gut, influence different bacteria, and may shape everything from digestion to long-term health outcomes.

So the real question is shifting from “Are we getting enough fibre?” to “Are we getting enough different types of fibre?”

We’re joined by Registered Nutritionist Dr Emma Beckett to break down what fibre diversity actually means in everyday eating — and why variety may matter just as much as quantity.
