A short, conversational YouTube video (by Robert Whitfield MD) emphasizing the importance of dietary fiber — where it comes from, practical high-fiber food examples, and recommended intake. The speaker contrasts low-fiber salad greens (arugula cited as ~"02 grams" per bowl) with higher-fiber options (a bowl of raspberries cited as 8 grams; blueberries noted as lower), highlights beans and avocados as fiber sources, and recommends aiming for roughly 30 grams of fiber per day to support bowel regularity and overall detoxification.

So another big nutrient category is fiber. Like, how many times you tell patients to, like, make sure you're getting enough fiber. And people are like, oh, I eat a ton of salads in, like, a bowl of arugula has, like, 02 grams of fiber. It has other benefits, but fiber comes from beans and from avocados. And I always tell people, you can have a bowl of raspberries that have 8 grams of fiber or a bowl of blueberries that have much less. It's like picking the foods that have high fiber, ideally trying to get to 30 grams. Why fiber? Because it helps you detoxify, to helps your bowels moving. It's such an important ingredient. But I think it's hard for people to get or be aware of where it is.
