Welcome to another episode of the Dr. Lo Radio Show! I really
enjoyed recording this episode, and I think you will enjoy it as
well.
Today I am chatting with Holly Howe and we are talking all about
why fermented foods are a great addition to better your gut
health.
Holly Howe is a Fermentation Educator, cookbook author,
photographer and blogger with a goal to have sauerkraut fermenting
in 100,000 homes.
In 2014, Holly launched “MakeSaurkraut!” her fermentation website
with everything you need to know to successfully ferment sauerkraut
that you and your loved ones will enjoy eating. Holly
also teaches how to ferment other vegetables and fruits and how
fermented foods can effortlessly—and flavorfully—improve your gut
health. Holly believes that food is to be enjoyed and to also serve
you.
We talk about so many great things in this episode. We talk about
the origin of fermented foods. We also talk about the benefits
fermented foods, like sauerkraut, have on the good bacteria in your
microbiome. We talk about the importance of taking control of your
own health, the energy-boosting benefits of fermented foods, how to
make your own sauerkraut and the comparison
between fermented & non-fermented foods.
If you are listening to this episode and you or someone you know is
navigating through any of the health issues we discuss, I would be
more than happy to support you in the journey! I work with people
virtually and in-person in San Diego. Feel free to reach out to me
