Date: 2026-05-19 17:30:07
I’m seeing fibre maxxing everywhere right now. And I think it might be one of the few trends actually worth paying attention to.
But as always, it’s not that simple.
This episode is a deep dive into fibre with Dr Karan Rajan, medical doctor and one of the most recognisable health voices online.
He’s built an audience of over 10 million people across social media, breaking down complex health topics with a mix of evidence, clarity and generous servings of humour.
