Podcasts about fermented foods

Half of the people who show up with a heart attack have completely normal cholesterol. That statistic is exactly why I brought back Dr. Philip Ovadia, a board certified cardiac surgeon who spent years operating on hearts while morbidly obese and pre-diabetic himself. In 2016, before Ozempic or any of the GLP-1 medications existed, he lost 100 pounds and reversed his own prediabetes, and it changed what he believed about the disease he had spent his whole career treating. We get into why insulin resistance carries six times the heart disease risk that elevated LDL cholesterol does, based on the Women's Health Initiative data, and why nearly 90 percent of adults are walking around metabolically unhealthy without knowing it. Dr. Ovadia walks through fasting insulin, a simple and inexpensive blood test that can flag this risk years before a cholesterol panel ever would, and explains why imaging that actually looks at your arteries tells you more than blood work alone ever can. We also talk honestly about statins, what the real numbers behind their benefit show once the marketing is stripped away, and why he now tells patients that meat, not cholesterol, belongs back on the table. It is a conversation that reframes what actually predicts a heart attack and gives you real questions to bring into your next cardiology appointment. Normal cholesterol does not mean a healthy heart.

Each year, International Beer Day is celebrated on the first Friday of August. As you may know, beer is produced using only four ingredients: water, hops, malt and yeast, through a process called fermentation. Of course beer is harmful in excessive quantities, but don't let that give you any misconceptions about fermented foods. Generally speaking, they play an important role in boosting gut health. There are many other alcohol-free alternatives too, if you're looking for a fermented beverage. These include kombucha, a fermented tea which contains B vitamins and vitamin C, and kefir, which is a kind of fermented milk. How do fermented foods interact with our bodies? How does fermentation actually work? How can I get started producing homemade fermented foods? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

While "gut health" is a ubiquitous buzzword in the wellness industry, it has historically lacked a clear scientific definition. In this episode, host Dr. Siobhan McCormack sits down with world-renowned expert Professor Maria Marco from UC Davis and the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP).They discuss the new scientific consensus defining gut health, the crucial differences between fermented foods and probiotics, and what we can actually learn from direct-to-consumer stool tests. Plus, Siobhan gets a behind-the-scenes look at a rigorous clinical trial investigating the health impacts of kimchi.What We Cover:Defining Gut Health: How a global expert panel established the first consensus definition, moving beyond just the microbiome to include six complex domains.Symptoms vs. Biomarkers: Why you can still achieve "gut health" even with a chronic but well-managed gut disorder.The Microbiome Testing Reality Check: The limitations of commercial stool tests and why they currently lack the clinical utility to guide personalized medical treatment.Fermented Foods vs. Probiotics: The true distinction between foods fermented for taste and preservation, versus specific live microbial strains proven to deliver targeted health benefits.Inside the Marco Lab: A look at the complexities of nutritional science, including an ongoing clinical trial comparing the physiological effects of kimchi to unfermented cabbage.Scientific References & Further Reading:Marco, M., et al.

Registered dietitian Leyla Muedin discusses a Frontiers in Microbiology paper suggesting certain probiotics may help sequester heavy metals. The study, sponsored by the Italian company Probiotical and conducted with University of Ghent and University of Piedmont Orientale, researchers used in vitro testing and the SHIME gut simulator to assess Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus crispatus, and Lactobacillus acidophilus against cadmium, lead, chromium, and mercury. L. plantarum and L. crispatus reduced metal bioavailability primarily in the simulated colonic phase, while L. acidophilus showed minimal detoxification; mercury was least reduced (~10%). An ex vivo mouse-intestine system found probiotic pre-incubation of metals preserved epithelial integrity and reduced inflammatory responses. Leyla notes limitations: corporate funding, only three strains tested, and no in vivo or human trials, though the findings support further animal and clinical research.

Carnivore diet controversiesWhat is a normal oxygen saturation?  Mine has been 92-93 lately?  Is that okay?

Cardiovascular Protection Beyond Statins--Nattokinase, Vitamin K2 MK-7, and Clinical Cardio Six: Neil Levin of NOW Foods/Protocol for Life Balance details cardiovascular protection beyond cholesterol-lowering drugs, emphasizing nutrient sufficiency, therapeutic “nutraceutical” dosing, and physician partnership with testing. They discuss nattokinase from fermented natto (typical 2,000 fibrinolytic units/day), describing research on reduced fibrinogen, improved blood viscosity and microcirculation, blood-pressure normalization, and higher-dose data suggesting benefits for arterial thickness and lipids without excessive blood-thinning. They review vitamin K: K1 for normal coagulation (risk with Coumadin relates to day-to-day variability) and K2 for calcium metabolism, highlighting MK-7's longer half-life and potency versus MK-4 and recommending pairing K2 with vitamin D. Levin outlines PFLB Clinical Cardio Six (D3, L-carnitine, hawthorn leaf/flower, solubilized grape seed extract, CoQ10, MK-7), ingredient sourcing/testing, omega-3 benefits, red yeast rice context, and controversy around vitamin E meta-analyses.

Gut health trends are everywhere, but which ones deserve a closer look, and which ones need a reality check?In this episode, we break down the biggest gut health trends getting clicks, likes, and follows online. From our "hard no" to "I'm curious," we share where each trend lands on our hype scale and explain the science, physiology, and gut-brain connection behind our take.We explore what actually helps symptoms like constipation, bloating, and digestive discomfort without fueling anxiety, wasting money, or creating unnecessary health risks.From viral wellness trends to evidence-based advice, here's what we're discussing:Does the viral chia seed "internal shower" actually cleanse your colon or is that just clever marketing?Are colonics and coffee enemas detox heroes, or do they go against how your gut is designed to work?Can lemon water and apple cider vinegar really "wake up" your digestion first thing in the morning?Can a simple self-care routine improve your gut symptoms, even if it doesn't "heal" your digestive system?Are fermented foods always packed with probiotics or is there more to the story? (Tune in for a revisit of Episode 20!)Can you make colonoscopy prep more tolerable with "prep mocktails" without interfering with the procedure?Can you have too much of a good thing? What happens when "fibermaxxing" goes too far?Are gut-healing protocols and at-home microbiome tests helping you understand your gut or making you more confused and anxious?Do lactose intolerance patches actually work, or does the science tell a different story?Are castor oil packs a legitimate digestive therapy?Whether you're tempted to try the latest gut health hack or just wondering what's worth your attention, this episode will help you separate science from social media. Resources:Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica L.): A therapeutic weapon in metabolic disorders.

What if the fatigue, brain fog, and infections you've been fighting for years all trace back to the same root - a gut that never had a chance to recover?In this episode of Integrative Lyme Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Donna Gates, author of The Body Ecology Diet and founder of Body Ecology, to cover a lot of ground: long COVID, Lyme disease, candida, biofilms, autism, and why fermented foods do something no probiotic capsule can replicate. Donna shares her own decades-long journey through antibiotic-induced illness, yeast overgrowth, and a recent long-haul COVID experience that sent her back to the drawing board - and ultimately led to her new book, Taming the Dragon. The conversation gets into why Lyme and candida are so resistant to treatment, how biofilms protect pathogens from the immune system, the surprising role of fermented vegetables in nasal health, and what the diversity inside a single head of cabbage has to do with your brain function. If you or someone you love is dealing with a chronic infection and not getting answers, this episode is worth your full attention.Key Takeaways:0:00 Introduction 1:51 How the Body Ecology Diet started with a yeast infection and a chance meeting 6:09 Why the inner ecosystem concept predated the term gut microbiome by 12 years 15:00 Long COVID as a chronic viral flare and how the antiviral diet works18:00 Taming the dragon: keeping viruses dormant through an alkaline mineral-rich body 22:00 Fermented vegetables and the histamine myth most people get wrong 29:23 Lyme and candida both hide behind biofilms and why antibiotics alone fail 36:05 Fermented vegetable juice in your nose to break up nasal biofilmSchedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902Resources:Body Ecology - https://www.bodyecology.com Taming the Dragon by Donna Gates - https://www.bodyecology.com (available on Kindle) The Body Ecology Diet by Donna Gates - https://www.amazon.com The Yeast Connection by Dr. William Crook - https://www.amazon.com MAPS (Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs) - https://www.medmaps.org Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

Fungi are “nature's biological recycling machines,” says guest Vayu Hill-Maini, a former chef turned bioengineer. That is, they take waste and turn it into good things. Hill-Maini now melds his scientific and culinary skills to create new foods, but also medicines, faux leather, pigments and other valuable products from mushrooms and molds. He uses CRISPR gene editing technology to “domesticate” these fungi – removing off-flavors and increasing nutritional content to make new-age cheeses, burgers, salami, and more. “We call it the DBTL cycle – design, build, taste, learn,” Hill-Maini tells host Russ Altman about his creative process on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.

Why Your Child Reacts to Everything: Histamine Intolerance vs MCAS in KidsThis week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're unpacking one of the more confusing and complex allergy-related pictures we see in kids — when symptoms don't follow a clear pattern, allergy testing comes back normal, but your child is still clearly reacting to something.If your child seems to react to multiple foods, heat, stress, exercise, strong smells, or seemingly random environmental triggers, this episode will help you better understand what may be going on beneath the surface. We're talking about histamine intolerance, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and mast cell dysregulation — and why these issues are often missed or misunderstood.In this episode, we explore:What histamine intolerance actually is, and why it is about poor histamine breakdown, not just eating high histamine foodsThe difference between histamine intolerance, mast cell activation syndrome, and mast cell dysregulation — and why symptoms can look so messy and unpredictableWhy standard allergy testing often misses these issues, even when your child is clearly reactingHow a more holistic approach focused on gut health, immune regulation, and inflammation can help calm the bigger picture

What if the bloating, mood swings, and unpredictable cycles you have been blaming on your hormones are actually your gut sending out a distress signal? The truth is that your digestive health and your hormonal balance are far more intertwined than most people realize, and addressing one without the other may be exactly why nothing has worked so far.On Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck welcomes Bridget Walton, functional hormone specialist and founder of I'm Hormonal, for a candid, science-backed conversation about the connection between hormones and gut health. From estrogen metabolism and microbiome balance to stress, elimination, and the power of functional nutrition, this episode delivers the clarity and actionable guidance women navigating these challenges have been seeking.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ How sluggish elimination leads to a buildup of estrogen metabolites in the body, which can directly fuel PMS symptoms, heavy periods, cramping, and mood swings.✅ Why an imbalanced gut microbiome triggers an inflammatory response that disrupts cortisol and your sex hormones, creating a cycle that is difficult to break without addressing the root cause.✅ The foundational daily habits, including eating a rainbow of fiber-rich plants, incorporating fermented foods, minimizing processed food inflammation, and proper hydration, support both digestive health and hormonal harmony.✅ How to recognize when general wellness strategies are no longer enough, and functional health testing may be the key to finally getting a personalized plan that moves the needle.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry.

Have you ever felt terrible after just one glass of wine? Or noticed that foods you used to eat just fine are now giving you headaches, bloating, brain fog, or a racing heart? You're not imagining it and you're not just "getting older." This might be a histamine problem, and today we're getting into all of it. Histamine is one of the most missed pieces of the puzzle for so many women. The symptoms can look like inflammation, allergies, or just general mystery symptoms that nothing seems to fix. And here's the tricky part: it's not consistent. You can tolerate something one week and react the next, which makes it incredibly hard to figure out what's actually going on. In this episode I break down what histamine actually is, why your body might be struggling to process it, and the very important connection between histamine and your hormones that almost nobody is talking about. What we cover: Why aged cheese, wine, fermented foods, and even leftovers can trigger a histamine response The "histamine bucket" concept and why your symptoms seem so random The two enzymes responsible for breaking histamine down and what gets in their way Why estrogen and histamine have a feedback loop that feeds itself (fire feeding fire) How progesterone actually helps stabilize mast cells and what happens when it starts to decline The gut connection and why healing digestion matters just as much as anything else Genetic factors that can make you more sensitive to histamine than the people around you The bottom line: Avoiding wine and fermented foods might give you a little relief, but it is not the long term answer. If your hormones are off, if your gut is struggling, or if cortisol is driving the whole thing, we have to address all of it together in the right sequence. Otherwise you are just guessing. Join the Hormone Clarity Workshop I am hosting a live workshop April 14 & 15 where we go through your hormone imbalances and what your body is actually telling you. We cover all of this, including the gut and histamine connection, estrogen, progesterone, cortisol and more. You'll walk away with real clarity on what's going on and where to start. It is just $17 and I will be there live to answer your questions. Grab your spot here: https://drbethwestie.com/the-hormone-clarity-workshop/

In this episode, I'm talking about what fermented foods, protein, and fiber are really doing inside the body — and why they matter so much more than most people realize. These foods do more than nourish you. They help support your gut, feed your microbes, and influence important signals tied to appetite, satisfaction, blood sugar balance, and metabolic health. I'll share why I believe the body is not broken — it's trying to communicate — and how simple meals with cultured foods, protein, and fiber can help support the body in powerful ways.

This episode is brought to you by Troscriptions, Timeline, Joi and Blokes. In this conversation, Dr. Tim Spector breaks down why modern life has quietly dismantled our relationship with fermented foods and how that loss may be fueling inflammation, metabolic disease, and poor mental health. Drawing from the landmark Stanford fermented foods study, he explains how just a few daily servings of fermented foods lowered inflammatory markers by 25%, outperforming fiber alone in immune impact. He outlines the hierarchy of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, why ultra-processed foods sabotage gut health, and how eating 30 diverse plants per week can measurably improve mood, energy, and microbiome diversity. From reversing type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease to redefining stool health as a vital sign, Spector argues that restoring gut diversity may be one of the most powerful levers for extending healthspan — potentially adding ten more healthy years of life. ----- 00:00 – The Fermented Foods Study That Changed Everything 03:22 – Health Trends in 2026: Fiber vs. The Protein Craze 06:04 – The 30 Plants Per Week Rule 09:40 – Gut Health and Mental Health Connection 16:27 – What Modern Life Destroyed About Fermentation 21:55 – The Stanford Fermented Foods Study 24:31 – 3 Fermented Foods to Start Today 27:29 – Live vs. Dead Microbes (Postbiotics Explained) 38:56 – Probiotics vs. Prebiotics vs. Postbiotics 48:41 – The Biggest Destroyer of Gut Health 52:48 – The New Gut Health Metric (Nature Study) 01:01:56 – What Your Stool Says About Your Health 01:09:29 – Can Gut Health Reverse Chronic Disease? 01:13:02 – The Simplest Gut Health Rule 01:13:36 – Adding 10 Healthy Years to Your Life ----- Episode resources: Try Troscriptions clinical-grade wellness troches and use checkout code EVERFORWARD for exclusive savings Save 39% on MitoPure longevity gummies with code EVERFORWARD at https://www.Timeline.com/everforward Get 50% off any diagnostic labs with code CHASE at https://www.JoiAndBlokes.com/chase Watch and subscribe on YouTube

This week on The Wellness Scoop, we're talking about why so many of us feel constantly distracted, what new research is revealing about cancer-linked ingredients in everyday foods, and why fermented foods are one of the most evidence-backed habits worth building into real life. We break down why attention feels so hard to hold onto right now, how scrolling, sleep and alcohol quietly shape focus and memory, and what the science actually shows helps us reclaim concentration without cutting technology out altogether. We also unpack major new studies linking long-term exposure to certain food preservatives with increased cancer and type 2 diabetes risk, what this says about how our food system has changed, and the realistic food swaps that matter most. We close by looking at fermented foods, why aiming to include them weekly, or ideally daily, is strongly linked to better gut health, lower inflammation and overall wellbeing, and how to do it simply.

Fermented foods are biologically active whole foods that reshape digestion and immune signaling by delivering microbes, enzymes, and microbial byproducts together, not isolated nutrients Most benefits from fermented foods come from changes in gut chemistry and microbial signaling rather than permanent colonization, which explains why you can see results even without lasting microbiome changes Different fermented foods act through different pathways, so rotating options like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and sourdough supports broader gut resilience than relying on a single "superfood" Regular fermented food intake increases gut microbiome diversity and lowers systemic inflammation, a pattern linked to reduced risk of metabolic, inflammatory, and stress-related conditions Introducing fermented foods gradually and with meals improves tolerance, nutrient absorption, and digestive comfort while rebuilding the microbial signals modern diets removed

What if one of the biggest nutrition mistakes we're making isn't what we eat, but what we're missing?Dr. Tim Spector is one of the world's leading researchers on the gut microbiome and how it shapes metabolism, immunity, and even mental wellbeing. In this conversation Tim challenges the conventional nutrition playbook, explaining why calories are a poor guide to health, why most diets backfire, and how ultra‑processed foods can disrupt hunger signals in ways that make “willpower” a losing game.A central theme in this conversation is that many of us are focused on the wrong problem. Tim argues we've been sold a story that we need more protein, when what many people are actually missing is fiber, the essential fuel our gut microbes depend on. From there, the conversation becomes refreshingly actionable, focused on diversity over restriction, whole plants that support microbial health, and why fermented foods can punch far above their weight.This episode is a grounded, science‑backed reframing of nutrition. It's less about rules and more about understanding the system inside you, then feeding it well.__________________________________Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

When Is the Best Time to Eat Fermented Foods? Fermented foods were once eaten naturally—at meals, between meals, whenever they were ready. But modern digestion is different, and WHEN you eat fermented foods can matter. In this episode, I share the best times to enjoy fermented foods and why timing can support digestion, blood sugar, and appetite—especially if you're over 40 or just getting started. Tune in to learn more.

Is yogurt really good for your gut…or is it secretly dessert in disguise?  In this episode, Brandy Buro MS, RD, LD shares how to choose the healthiest yogurt, what “live cultures” actually means, and other fermented foods that support gut health.

Fermented foods are fashionable – kimchi, kefir, kombucha – they're all having a moment, many thousands of years on from where they were first produced. But how much do you know about how they're made? Do you know your SCOBY from your kefir grain? In this episode, fermenting novice Ruth Alexander goes on a quest to find out more about this ancient way of preserving food; how to do it yourself, why you might want to, and what it's doing for our guts.Follow along as she experiments with making her own kefir, and talks to fermentation guru Sandor Katz about how to get started and whether there's anything that can't be fermented. Scientist Professor Gabriel Vinderola explains what's known about the microbes behind it all and how they affect our health while Kheedim Oh and his mum Myung Oh talk about how they've brought the family recipe for kimchi to a US audience via their business, Mama O's Kimchi. (Kimchi on pizza anyone?) And with the help of Adam Goldwater from UK based Loving Foods Fermented, Ruth discovers how kombucha is made, and the alien like SCOBY powering the process. Produced by Lexy O'Connor. The sound engineer was Andrew Mills.If you would like to get in touch with the show, please email: thefoodchain@bbc.co.uk.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. Justin Sonnenburg, PhD, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Stanford University. We discuss how microbes in our gut impact our mental and physical health and how diet and the environment affect the gut microbiome. We explain how lifestyle factors such as antibiotics and Western-style diets (high fat, low fiber and rich in processed foods) can damage gut diversity and whether prebiotics or probiotics are useful tools. Throughout the episode, we highlight evidence-based dietary and lifestyle strategies for improving gut health.
