Fiber: The Forgotten Detoxifier
When we think about detoxification, fiber rarely gets the spotlight. Yet it’s one of the most essential and effective tools your body uses to eliminate toxins every single day. Fiber isn’t just for digestion—it’s your internal clean-up crew, guiding waste out so you can feel light again. Without enough of it, toxins—including estrogen byproducts, bile acids, heavy metals, and environmental pollutants—can get reabsorbed into circulation, straining your liver and making you feel sluggish, inflamed, or hormonally imbalanced. Fiber plays a crucial role in Phase III detoxification—the final step where toxins leave the body. Without adequate fiber, toxins can be reabsorbed through the gut wall—a process called enterohepatic recirculation—leading to a heavier toxic burden and increased inflammation.
