The science behind breast milk and why it's amazing for gut health — Dr. Kavita
Dr. Kavita is a Family Medicine Physician, Lactation Consultant and Mother of 3. She has a wealth of medical experience spanning 17 years, including 6 years in Hospital Paediatrics at the Sydney Children’s Hospital Network including Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) at RHW, Randwick before further training to become a General Practitioner/Family Medicine Doctor.
Despite her extensive Paediatric experience, she was shocked to see the maternal mental distress faced by new mothers. This distress is largely due to societal misconceptions about breastfeeding and newborn care and this is what ignited her passion and further training in Breastfeeding Medicine.
She is an active member of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine. She is experienced in the model of Neuroprotective Developmental Care and a Possums NDC Practitioner. She is also certified in the Thompson Breastfeeding method. She is passionate about improving breastfeeding support and education.
Outside of medicine, she has a strong interest in nature, martial arts and social justice. Before Medicine she did a Bachelor of Arts - majoring in Classics - Greek and Roman Literature and Political science.

5 gluten-free breads that actually taste good
Can you believe it is 2024 and we don't have a single gluten-free bread that tastes amazing and is widely available. Why can't I go into a fast food chain and order a burger with good GF bread!?
I know a lot of y'all are gluten-free like me, whether you're gluten intolerant or celiac or choose to cut gluten out of your diet. One of the most common questions I get is, "What gluten-free breads do you like that actually tastes good?" Because so often gluten-free bread is small and dry and just does not taste like bread at all.
I've been gluten-free for about 6 years and I've tried dozens of gluten-free breads at this point. Today I'm going to share my top picks!
Jane's Top GF bread recommendations:
Greenlite artisan breadAgainst the Grain baguettesBase Culture Keto BreadBread Srsly SourdoughPrairie Foods spelt sourdoughIf you're gluten-intolerant, you may have a chemical sensitivity to glyphosate, not necessarily gluten. In which case, organic flour/bread/pasta may sit well with you! Here are some organic options:

The link between autism, glyphosate, and antibiotics — Dr. Chidozie Ojobor, Co-founder of Vitract
Chidozie Ojobor is a scientist-entrepreneur and is the cofounder and Chief Science Officer at Vitract, a microbiome company providing comprehensive and accessible gut testing to clinicians to improve the gut health of their clients/patients. Chidozie started his academic career in virus research, where he studied rotaviruses that cause gastroenteritis in children under the age of 5.
Afterwards, he completed his PhD in Molecular Genetics at the University of Toronto where he was genetically engineering bacteriocins as novel therapeutic tools against bacterial pathogens. Chidozie developed interest in the microbiome during his doctoral research when he realized that the therapeutic entity he was developing had the potential to manipulate complex biological ecosystems such as the gut microbiome.
After his PhD, he then cofounded Vitract, a microbiome company that provides insight into gut health based on the composition of gut bacteria in stool samples. Chidozie and his team are leveraging molecular sequencing techniques, AI and the robust body of scientific evidence associating the gut and overall health, to build comprehensive gut health solutions for Canadians and Americans.

Our gut health queen is here! Aicacia Young - you guys really loved our episode last month all about IBS and how to diagnose your symptoms. So we have her back on the pod today for a Q&A. We’ve got a jam packed episode - we’re gonna cover how much protein you should be eating in a day, how to figure out what specifically in dairy triggers you, the one magical supplement everyone could benefit from, why you should do a gut detox before getting pregnant, and the two supplements to take for a proper gut detox. And we get Aicacia’s hot take on some of the trendy supplements out there like Athletic Greens and Seed probiotics.
Aicacia Young, RDN is a Registered Dietitian and product developer who specializes in gut health and microbiome education. Her own health complications as an adolescent drew her to the field of Human Nutrition, where she worked in a Functional Medicine clinic helping people address their autoimmune issues through the lens of gut health. Her passion and curiosity around the gut microbiome led her to join a microbiome therapeutic company, where she served as the Director of Scientific Affairs. During this time, she lectured at medical conferences around the country, developed a cutting-edge microbiome test, and created the company’s product protocols. Today, she serves as the Chief Scientific Officer at Silver Fern Brand, where she formulates innovative products, develops product protocols, and provides product training to consumers and health practitioners.

Customer Reviews
Smart, Insightful, and build to last!
There is so many reasons why I like this podcast. First of all, Jane is clearly passionate and educated on the topics she discusses. She also has such a great voice for narrating.
The guests are experts in their field and Jane does a great job at eliciting interesting and helpful perspectives from them.
I especially liked the episode “Raising happy pigs from a Cowboy’s perspective - Neil Dudley”. In the world where we are getting further and further from the sources of our food, it’s important to know the why and how behind the food industry and alternative ways to do things.
This podcast will 👉MAKE YOU THINK! Make you laugh, and make you healthier. Give it a listen!
Hope!!
Jane is bringing forward information that we can use to make a real impact. I just listened to the Adam Lamb episode and it was really eye-opening. But the podcast isn’t just education and facts. Jane and her guests are fun to listen to and share stories that give real life to the issues at hand. Listening to this will encourage a hope in you—we CAN do something about food sustainability!
A much needed look at food!
Just finished listening to the first episode of Farm to Future and I am super excited about the new direction of this podcast. As someone who is looking for ways to eat better and more sustainably, I am naturally pre-disposed towards such content. And I already learned so much from just one episode. However, Jane is also a fabulous host. She is clearly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and masterfully guides the discussion with her guests from one topic to the next, keeping you engaged and entertained. As an added bonus, she has such a pleasant voice to listen to! I will be a loyal listener.
