The ultimate guide to better gut health, brain function and whole-body wellness through the power of fibre.

We didn't mean to lose fibre - but between industrial food processing and convenience culture, it quietly disappeared from our plates . . . and our bodies have noticed.

Drawing on the latest science and nearly three decades of experience as a nutrition scientist and TV personality, Dr Joanna McMillan brings fibre back into focus - not as a dull dietary box to tick, but as one of the most deliciously powerful tools for health and longevity.

You'll discover:
  • how fibre fuels your gut microbiome, and supports digestion, mental health, immunity, inflammation and detox pathways
  • why fibre is vital for heart health, weight balance and blood sugar control
  • your dream team of foods, meal ideas and flavour-packed recipes to make eating fibre easy and inviting
  • the tools to design your own fibre-rich way of eating that suits your lifestyle
  • why fibre diversity - not just quantity - is essential.

Whether you're an omnivore, a plant lover or somewhere in between, The Fibre Factor will inspire you to rethink your diet and rediscover the missing nutrient your body - and mind - have been craving.

Joanna is one of Australia's best-known nutrition and healthy lifestyle experts. She is a regular on the Nine Network and the official nutritionist for TODAY. Joanna is an author of several books including the award winning Inner Health Outer Beauty and the internationally published The Low GI Diet, has a weekly column in Sunday Life and blogs for Essential Kids. Her accent gives her away as a Scot, but she made Australia her home in 1999 where she subsequently gained her PhD in nutritional science from the University of Sydney. Her university studies started with psychology, followed by a Bachelor of Science, all the while working as a fitness instructor, which she did for over 15 years. Together this gives her a holistic approach to health and wellbeing, and the best thing is she never sits on the health high horse! As a down-to-earth Scot, all her advice is tempered by what is practical, doable and fun whilst still giving the desired result. Joanna is vice-president of the Australian Lifestyle Medicine Association (ALMA) and a member of Dietitians Association of Australia and The Nutrition Society.
