    Episode 235: Living Healthier and Longer on Yogurt

    Episode 235: Living Healthier and Longer on Yogurt

    I love to eat and make yogurt. I love kefir with every fiber of my being and have it every day, but there were bacterial strains that kefir didn't have that I wanted. Bifidobacteria is a strain that I think we need in abundance that isn't in kefir. There are many ways to get this strain and other beneficial strains and I'd love to show you how to do this. Tune in to learn more.

    Episode 233: 10 Ways To Heal Your Gut

    Your gut is your largest immune organ and is responsible for 80 percent of your immune system. The more good bacteria you have, the better your immune system is. Your emotions, believe it or not, are controlled by your gut bacteria, and studies now suggest that gut bacteria are controlling anxiety and stress responses. Healing your gut and keeping your gut strong are crucial to having a healthy body and mind. Tune in to learn more.

    Episode 232: Kefir & Yogurt For Breakfast

    Episode 232: Kefir & Yogurt For Breakfast

    Nine times out of ten, I have a kefir smoothie every morning. A cup of coffee and a smoothie has been the norm for me for over twenty years. It's super fast and it tastes really good, but since last March I've changed it up a lot with spectacular benefits. I'm kind of shocked at how much this has changed me and how much I am learning about microbes. Check out my smoothie and add species to your gut that you may be missing and see what a difference it can make.

    Episode 230: Fermented Foods For SIBO

    Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth or SIBO is popping up everywhere and seems to be becoming more and more prevalent. We have seen a number of people overcome SIBO with this powerful yogurt that has two specific species. These strains are powerfully effective in eradicating harmful species that abide in the upper gastro area and then colonizing with the species that should be there. Tune in to learn more.
