#42: To Carry the Mind - Fermentation & The Mind-Gut Connection
Description
In this episode we talk about the gut microbiome, our other brain, the mind-gut connection, and the importance of fermented foods to bring all of these into balance.
Some say it's ironic that in these germaphobic times, some of the most beneficial foods and drinks we can consume for our well-being are those that rely on a thriving colony of bacteria.
We get into many areas including the importance of the gut, how it effects the mind and microbiome diversity, the process of lacto-fermentation - the oldest and most simply form of food preservation, the magic of salt and why it was so valuable, the problems with store bought kombucha and other fermented products, some methods and tips for making your own ferments and much more. Enjoy!
