Fiber is the new protein. Or at least it should be getting the same attention. On this episode of the Marni On The Move podcast, I’m syncing up with Sarah Wragge, founder of Sarah Wragge Wellness and creator of the SWW Method. Sarah shares why fiber is one of the most underrated nutrients when it comes to digestion, metabolic health, and overall wellness — and why it deserves just as much focus as protein in our daily routines. Sarah’s journey into wellness started with her own health challenges, including gut issues, inflammation, and acid reflux at a young age. That experience ultimately led her to build Sarah Wragge Wellness, a coaching business and wellness brand designed to help people better understand how to fuel their bodies and create sustainable health habits. In this conversation, we talk about Sarah’s personal health journey, the inspiration behind the SWW Method, and how her programs and signature products — Optimize, Restore, and Alkalize — support digestion, nutrition, and long-term wellness. We also get into the importance of protein, fiber, minerals, and the daily habits that support a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
