Why Gut Health Matters
Your gut is home to trillions of microbes that help digest food, produce nutrients and communicate with your immune and nervous systems. When that community is out of balance, it can show up as digestive trouble, low energy and a body that struggles to recover.
Living, fermented foods like sauerkraut, kefir and kimchi are one of the simplest ways to support a healthy gut. This workshop explains the basics and walks you through how to make a simple ferment in your own kitchen.
