    Convenience is Killing You

    Your convenience is slowly killing you. There are some things, such as preparing your own food, that help to keep us healthy. We have normalized sluggishness and bloating after meals. Our bodies are designed to be able to utilize both carbohydrates and fats. However, we have such an overconsumption of carbs that we are never able to tap into the fat burning state.

    Could Your Gluten Sensitivity Just Be a Sensitivity to the Gluten in Modern Wheat?

    In this episode we discuss that what you think could be a gluten sensitivity could just be a gluten sensitivity to modern wheat. Einkorn has 14 chromosomes whereas modern wheat has 42 chromosomes. Einkorn wheat is a simple A genome, and modern wheat consists of the A, B, and D genome. Einkorn has a much simpler gluten structure compared to modern wheat. This is what contributes to Einkorn's lower oven spring and lower elasticity. When baking with Einkorn you may need to adjust the hydration and timing of the bulk fermentation. Einkorn's gluten is less complex making it easier to digest. It is higher in protein and less in carbohydrates compared to modern wheat.
