The Foundation of Flow: Why Fiber is the Secret to Gut Health and Total Performance

Most people in the Performance Nutrition scene are familiar with the term “macros.” Protein for muscle repair. Carbohydrates for glycogen. Healthy Fats for hormones. But what about Fiber? That “silent macro” that society seems to push aside in our fast-paced world.

Too often people take Fiber when they “slow down,” or when they feel “backed up.” But human biology doesn’t work that way. Fiber is much more than keeping things moving—it’s a metabolic regulator, prebiotic fuel source, and crucial element of your immune system.

At LIVS, we like to say that your gut is your “second brain.” When things get backed up in your digestive system, you feel tired, your skin breaks out, and your mind feels foggy. If you want to live your best life at 100%, you have to master the basics of Flow.

The Problem with Modern Fiber Intake: “Normal” isn’t Normal Anymore

Our Paleolithic ancestors were getting upwards of 50-100 grams of fiber per day just from eating real food. Most adults today barely hit 15 grams per day. Let’s call this what it is… a massive “Fiber Gap.” Our environment has become so toxic with fast food restaurants, processed snacks, and microwave dinners—not to mention “healthy” processed foods that strip the natural fiber from foods to lengthen shelf life.

We’ve created a world where getting the bare minimum Fiber intake is actually the abnormal thing to do.

Meet Your Microbiome: Trillions of Cute Bacteria That Live in Your Gut

The bacteria in your gut outnumber human cells in your body 10 to 1. They produce neurotransmitters (Serotonin), synthesize vitamins, and train your immune system to recognize what’s dangerous and what’s not.

Fiber is considered a Prebiotic. What does that mean? Prebiotics are what the “good” bacteria in your gut eat.

• Fiber Feedings = A Diverse Microbiome.

• Less Fiber = Systemic inflammation, brain fog, and poor immune function.

When you take LIVS Fiber Gummies, you are “feeding the fleet” of microscopic workers that live inside you to help keep you healthy and balanced.

Three Pillars of Performance: Why We Love Fiber

Soluble vs. Insoluble Fiber (How to Get Regular)

There are two types of fiber: Insoluble and Soluble. While we incorporate both types into our formula, Soluble Fiber is the star of the show.

Unlike insoluble fiber, Soluble fiber absorbs water as it passes through your digestive system. This creates a gelatinous mixture that pushes through your intestines providing the bulk you need to… well… go number two. Without adequate soluble fiber in your diet, your body relies on natural muscle contractions known as “peristalsis.” Too little fiber can cause painful “emergency” dumps that leave you feeling bloated and drained for hours.

Soluble fiber creates a consistent, predictable bowel movement so you never have to feel heavy or weighed down during your day.

Metabolic Stability = Weight Loss

Does your energy always crash after lunch? Do you feel like you’re always hungry? If you answered yes to either, Fiber is your new best friend.

• How Fiber Annihilates Hunger: When you eat food that contains fiber, your stomach empties more slowly. This sends a signal to your brain through the release of the hormone leptin which tells you that you are full. Boom. You’ve unlocked the secret to weighing your macros or sticking to a calorie deficit.

• Balancing Blood Sugar: Because fiber “slowly” releases into your system, it actually buffers against sugar absorption. Our Fiber is Soluble, which means it sticks to that sugar and slowly releases it over time. No more spikes. No more crashes.

That’s why we recommend taking your Fiber Gummies before your largest meal of the day to create a biological “safety net.”

Fiber and the Immune System

Did you know that Fiber also strengthens your heart? Studies show that a high-fiber diet can reduce your risk of heart disease by binding to cholesterol in your digestive tract and removing it from your body!

Another fun fact: 70% of your immune system is located in your gut. By strengthening your gut barrier AND your microbiome with regular fiber intake, you are creating a healthier body capable of fighting off those colds and flus.

Let's Eat! 3 Steps to a “Happy Gut”

Before we wrap up, here are three steps to getting the most out of your Fiber intake:

1. Timing: Take your Fiber Gummies first thing in the morning. Your body loves routines (just like your sleep schedule!).

2. Hydration: Fiber absorbs water. If you don’t drink enough water daily, you’ll have the opposite effect of constipation. ALWAYS take your gummy with a full glass of water.

3. The Happy Gut Stack: For complete gut health, take your Fiber Gummies with LIVS Probiotics. The fiber serves as the “Prebiotic” food for the bacteria in the probiotic.

Sugar-Free. Pectin-Based. Life-Changing.

Unlike traditional fiber supplements, LIVS Fiber Gummies are fruit-based using an extract called Pectin.

• Our Bodies Can Digest It.

• Your Teeth Will Thank You.

• It Won’t Melt in Your Gym Bag.

FAQs

Q: I heard too much fiber causes you to die I’m gaining gas as we speak! Is this normal?

A: When you first introduce premium fiber into a depleted microbiome, the bacteria inside you can get frisky. The trick is to start with 1 gummy and work your way up. For the first 3-5 days, your microbiome will balance out and you will notice less gas, replaced with stronger, more consistent bowel movements.

Q: Can I take LIVS Fiber and LIVS Probiotics at the same time?

A: Don’t just take them at the same timemake sure you do! When you combine a probiotic with a prebiotic, you’ve created what’s called “Synbiotics” or, if you want to get really fancy: Superoptimized gut health.

Q: Are these gummies Keto friendly?

A: Yes! Since there is no sugar and they are high in fiber, these gummies have almost no “net carbs.”

Q: How long will it take before I feel regular?

A: Some feel results within 24 hours, but we recommend taking the gummies for 3-5 days straight to get your body in the groove.

Your Gut is Your Temple. Fill it with Fiber.

Think about all the foods you eat that your body can’t digest. No matter how healthy your diet may be, there will always be waste. Fiber helps transport that waste through your body so you can feel light, energized, and ready to crush life.
