Most women are eating far less fibre than they think.
On average, women get 12–15g per day, yet we actually need 25–35g to support our gut, hormones, mood, and metabolism.
And this is where simple, doable swaps make a huge difference.
🍐 Pears are one of the easiest ways to boost fibre—one medium pear gives you 5–6g, plus it contains pectin, a type of soluble fibre that feeds good gut bacteria, helps stabilize blood sugar, and keeps digestion moving.
In the photo, I added 1 cup of One Degree sprouted granola, which adds another 4–5g of fibre—without being harsh on digestion the way some granolas are. Sprouted grains are easier for your gut to break down and absorb.
Why this matters:
✨ Hormone Support
Fibre helps your body eliminate used-up hormones (like estrogen) through the digestive tract. Without enough fibre, your liver works harder and hormones can re-circulate, showing up as PMS, heavier cycles, stubborn fat gain, or bloating.
✨ Gut + Detox Support
Your liver depends on fibre to bind onto toxins and carry them out. Without enough, they sit in the system longer than your body wants.
✨ Cholesterol & Blood Sugar
Soluble fibre (like in pears!) helps lower LDL cholesterol and slows digestion, which keeps blood sugar more stable—this means better energy, fewer cravings, and better mood regulation.
✨ Weight Management
Fibre increases satiety, stabilizes hunger hormones, supports a healthy gut microbiome, and helps your body “feel safe” enough to release weight.
And the best part? Fibre doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
You can start with one simple swap: add a pear + high-quality lower sugar granola to your day and watch how much better your digestion and energy feel.
