Green Powders, Fiber Frenzy & What’s Actually Worth Your Money

🔍 Episode Overview

Joanne Lee Cornish explores two massive wellness categories — green powders and fiber supplements — breaking down real science, real efficacy, and real value. She helps you make informed decisions, avoid marketing fluff, and invest in what actually works.

🧬 What You’ll Learn

• The manufacturing differences between whole-plant powders, juice powders, and cheap heat-dried powders

• Why processing method determines how effective a green powder actually is

• The truth about sulforaphane: how it’s made, how to ensure you’re getting it, and why so many products don’t

• The roles of fiber in midlife: gut health, hormones (especially estrogen metabolism), insulin sensitivity, weight control, satiety

• Why fiber supplements can be inexpensive yet powerful — and how to avoid overpriced fluff

• A clear framework for purchasing: what to buy, how much to pay, what to avoid

🌱 GREEN POWDERS — BRANDS & VALUE GUIDE

✅ Premium Tier (High-quality, “buy if you’re serious”)

• Vibrant Health – Green Vibrance: Whole-food powders + probiotics + enzymes; transparent dosing.

• Thorne Daily Greens: Clean manufacture, third-party tested, reliable.

• Biotics Research – Sulforaphane / SFE-Branded Extracts: Not a generic “greens powder” but one of the only ones that actually delivers sulforaphane.

• AG1 (Athletic Greens): Big brand, high price, good quality—but you’re paying convenience + marketing.

🏷 Mid Budget Tier (Good value)

• Amazing Grass Greens Blend: Whole-food based, more affordable; not highest potency but decent.

• NOW Foods Super Greens: Basic formula, clean brand, budget-friendly.

• Primal Harvest Primal Greens: Balanced formula, solid value.

⚠️ Caution / Avoid Unless You Know What You’re Buying

• Essential-oil companies doing greens powders (e.g., doTERRA Greens): Overpriced, questionable processing, poor taste.

• Powders made mostly from barley grass/wheatgrass juice powders: Low fiber, low matrix, low potency.

• Products claiming “sulforaphane” without listing myrosinase or stabilized compounds: Likely empty claim.

• Any greens powder that uses “proprietary blend” to hide dosages: You don’t know what you’re paying for.
