The Whole Health Podcast: Soluble Fiber & Detoxification with Your Hosts, Dr. Kelly Blodgett & Megan Barnett- Ep 17

In this episode of The Whole Health Podcast, co-hosts Dr. Kelly Blodgett DMD, NMD, IBDM and Megan Barnett MS, CNS, dive into the overlooked yet essential role of soluble fiber in digestion, detoxification, and disease prevention. Megan shares how fiber supports liver function, balances the microbiome, and helps eliminate toxins, dispelling detox myths and offering practical dietary guidance for improving whole-body health.

Topics Discussed Include:

• Soluble Fiber as a Health Foundation: Megan emphasizes the critical role of soluble fiber in digestion, detoxification, and overall metabolic health. She explains how fiber supports natural detox pathways (poop, pee, sweat), binds toxins in the gut, and reduces disease risks like colon cancer and cardiovascular disease.
  
  
• Detox Misconceptions and Practical Guidance: The hosts unpack common myths around detoxing, clarifying that real detoxification is a continuous, natural body process—not a fad cleanse. Megan breaks down how fiber aids the liver in safely eliminating toxins, especially when paired with proper hydration and daily bowel movements.
  
  
• Accessible and Individualized Nutrition: The episode highlights affordable fiber-rich foods (beans, lentils, whole grains, flax, avocado) and discusses how personalized diets—including low-carb or paleo—can still incorporate fiber through supplementation. Megan shares her personal journey of discovering the overlooked importance of soluble fiber and how it reshaped her clinical approach.
