Kathleen destroys the myth that eggs are harmful, Peter talks about the benefits of Kefir, and a story about Remembrance Day in a small town in Holland. Kathleen's Deep Dive Eggs got a bad rap for years for supposedly increasing bad cholesterol.  Actually, the opposite may be true. Go figure! A published study showed eating 2 eats daily lowered LDL cholesterol. Eggs provide cholesterol without overloading the liver, allowing it to clear LDL efficiently.  So go eat some farm-fresh eggs from pasture-raised hens! Peter talks about the benefits of kefir and his experience after eating it every day for five weeks. He mentions how the schoolchildren of Oosterbeek in Holland have been placing flowers on Allied paratroopers' graves every Remembrance Day for 80 years to honour their sacrifice in WWII.

Yogurt is touted as a health food that can help support the gut microbiome, but really, how healthy is yogurt? In this video, discover all the things you didn't know about yogurt. Your gut health depends on this!0:00 Introduction: Is yogurt bad for you? 0:10 Fermented foods 1:00 Yogurt side effects and benefits 3:10 Commercial yogurt vs. homemade yogurt5:11 Unhealthy facts about yogurt6:45 Processed yogurt ingredients 8:59 Probiotics, kefir, and sauerkraut The benefits of yogurt and other fermented foods do not lie in their ability to reseed the gut. The real benefit is the change in environment. Fermented and cultured foods change the pH and oxygen levels in the gut. They also provide food and metabolites for the gut microbes, which can also help activate dormant microbes. Many microbes have been suppressed by antibiotics, junk food, and other factors. Many of them are keystone microbes, which are vital for your gut health. Unless your yogurt says it contains live and active cultures, it's been double-pasteurized. Commercial yogurt typically ferments for 1 to 2 hours, whereas traditional homemade yogurt ferments anywhere from 8 to 36 hours. By the time you eat commercial yogurt, there are significantly fewer CFUs of bacteria than stated on the label.Sugar in yogurt can kill the friendly bacteria and feed pathogens in your gut. Added ingredients, such as pectin, gels, and guar gum, inhibit bacterial movement. Yogurt fermented for only 1 to 2 hours will not have the right texture or thickness, so ingredients such as modified food starch, carrageenan, and polysorbate 80 are added. These ingredients can destroy the mucosal layer of the gut, leading to leaky gut and inflammation. Many commercial yogurts contain artificial sweeteners, which are known to alter the gut microbiome.Many processed yogurts contain bioengineered food ingredients that may contain traces of glyphosate, a patented antibiotic. This means the very product you're consuming to support your gut health could be destroying your gut microbes. Probiotics contain significantly more microbes than yogurt. These freeze-dried microbes are often able to reach the large intestine and reseed the gut, especially when taken repetitively. Kefir, which contains both bacteria and yeast, is also a better option than yogurt.Sauerkraut is an excellent food for gut health. It contains polyphenols, postbiotics, SCFAs, sulforaphane, organic acids, glutamine, and the compound s-methylmethionine.

Our guest is Julie Smolyansky, CEO of Lifeway Foods, the company that pioneered the kefir market in America and today produces 95% of the kefir sold in the U.S. Julie's story begins in 1976, when her parents immigrated from Kiev ( the former Soviet Union)  to Chicago. Her mother opened a deli, while her father, a mechanical engineer, missed the kefir he had back in the Soviet Union so he started making his own, and from that, Lifeway Foods was born. In 2002, tragedy struck. Julie's father, Michael Smolyansky, died suddenly of a heart attack. At just 27, Julie stepped into the CEO role, becoming the youngest female CEO of a publicly traded company. Under her leadership, Lifeway expanded its product lines and grew internationally. Today, with revenues topping $200 million, Julie has proven herself a powerhouse CEO—while also raising two daughters, running marathons, reading voraciously, and giving back through philanthropy and community leadership. This is the kind of conversation we love: a woman courageously living a full, multidimensional life. In this episode, we cover her parents' immigrant journey, the rise of kefir in America, the science of gut health, and Lifeway's latest innovations, including kefir with collagen and creatine.   This conversation is about courage, resilience, and building a full life. We get into: ✨ Her family's immigrant journey from Kiev to Chicago ✨ How kefir conquered America ✨ The science of gut health ✨ Lifeway's bold new products (yes—kefir with collagen + creatine!)   Check out our website: https://meantforyoupod.com Reach out to us: meantforyoupod@gmail.com Follow us on IG

Kefir e yogurt sembrano simili, ma non sono la stessa cosa. Entrambi ricchi di fermenti, possono aiutare il benessere dell’intestino - ma in modo diverso.

Dans le cadre de notre semaine spéciale de replay [L'envers du verre], (re)écoutez l'épisode [#47 - Kefir, Kombucha : faut-il croire au miracle des boissons fermentées ? avec Pierre Faudot].Les boissons fermentées comme le kéfir ou le kombucha ont la cote. Et de fait, on leur prête 1001 vertus: Elles seraient bonnes pour l'immunité , riches en vitamines et minéraux, très savoureuses…Mais que sont-elles vraiment? D'où viennent-elles? Peut-on les consommer sans risque, même lorsqu'elles sont fabriquées à la maison? Faut-il les intégrer dans notre quotidien et en faire notre ami détox après les fêtes?Pour décrypter les vertus et les interrogations que soulèvent le Kombucha et le Kefir, Fanny Giansetto interview Pierre Faudot dit Bel, co-fondateur de l'entreprise Archipel qui fabrique un kombucha 100% français et est l'auteur du passionnant livre Kefir & kombucha.

We're diving into one of the most overlooked—but surprisingly important—parts of family nutrition: drinks. In this final episode of our “What Can I Eat?” series, we're talking about what's really hydrating (spoiler: it's not just water), why juice boxes aren't the solution, and how ancestral wisdom can help us rethink what we offer our kids and ourselves to drink each day.   We chat about everything from raw milk and herbal teas to fermented beverages like water kefir and kombucha. You'll hear practical tips, stories from our own families, and the deeper “why” behind nutrient-dense drinks. If you've ever wondered what's actually worth sipping—or how to ditch the dye-filled sports drinks—this episode is packed with insight.  

Sleep detoxifies our brains! Refined sugars, junk food, and late-night snacking can interfere with sleep. If you want better sleep, eat earlier in the day. For the best sleep, have your last meal around 5:00 p.m. If you're waking at night to urinate, intermittent fasting and a low-carb diet can help. Inflammatory foods, such as grains, can also interfere with your sleep. High carbohydrate diets increase your need for vitamin B1, which reduces anxiety and tension.Kefir contains probiotics that can build up serotonin, which turns into melatonin, the sleep hormone. L. reuteri yogurt also contains helpful probiotics to improve sleep. Consume ½ cup daily; it doesn't have to be before bed.Try the following tips for better sleep to help you wake up early feeling refreshed and energized!

Blue light from your computer or phone stimulates energy, while infrared lighting helps you wind down. Around 50% of the sun's rays are infrared and can penetrate several inches into the body. Infrared light helps you make vitamin D, which is vital for sleep and increasing melatonin. Since culture has pushed us away from sun exposure, sleep quality has declined. Alcohol will make you feel tired, but it interferes with deep sleep. Caffeine, tea, coffee, and chocolate act as stimulants and prevent sleep. Increase exercise to improve sleep. Stretching and massage can also help you relax. Here are a few more deep sleep tips that can significantly improve sleep quality:•Sleep on your right side•Focus on nose breathing •Reduce stress for better sleep•Ensure adequate sodium intake to maintain healthy cortisol levels •Increase potassium intake •Consume magnesium glycinate powder 1 hour before bed •Sound machine •Binaural beats •Use essential oils (Spikenard, vetiver)Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

What if you built a billion-dollar fitness empire — and then had the courage to tear it down for something better?In this powerful episode of The Big Silence, Karena Dawn sits down with Carl Daikeler, founder of Beachbody (now known as BODi), the man behind household names like P90X, Insanity, Shakeology, and Morning Meltdown 100. But this isn't just a story of success — it's a brutally honest look at motivation, body image, entrepreneurship, and the daily mental work it takes to keep going when things get hard.From growing up backstage in a Pennsylvania theater to running a global health brand with over a million users, Carl shares the emotional, mental, and spiritual tools that have kept him moving forward. You'll hear about the behind-the-scenes challenges of rebranding from Beachbody to BODi, the surprising role Broadway played in his journey, and his no-BS take on fitness fads, GLP-1s, and tech obsession.Are We Measuring Fitness Wrong?Carl and Karena unpack the myths of the wellness industry — including why the best fitness “tech” is already inside you.(00:01:50) The Birth of Beachbody: A Brand Built for People Who Hate Working OutCarl created Beachbody to help impatient, goal-oriented people get consistent without loving fitness.Success didn't come from being a guru — it came from being a relatable customer.“Day one to day done”: Programs need structure, not endless motivation.Community was always the secret sauce: message boards before social media.(00:09:30) From Infomercials to Shakeology to MLM: Lessons in IterationP90X's breakout success during the 2008 recession changed the game.Word-of-mouth became the strategy behind the multi-level model.“The customer who solves their lifestyle problem deserves the reward.”Carl defends the ethics and intent behind Beachbody's direct sales shift — and why it had to evolve.(00:15:43) GLP-1s, Obesity, and What the Industry Is Getting WrongCarl's stance: These meds are tools — but not solutions without resistance training and nutrition.“Lifestyle change is so hard… but if you can monetize your consistency? That's powerful.”The secret pill culture from the ‘90s is back — but smarter wellness demands a full-picture approach.Fitness tech is great — until it overrides your intuition.(00:18:46) Carl's Morning Routine: Cold Plunges, Kefir & Spinach ShakesWake-up time: ~5–6 AM, no alarm.Lemon water + ginger + olive oil + kefir shot = ritual jumpstart.3.5-minute cold plunge followed by a 45-min workout.Weekend DIY meal prep keeps him on track — and surprisingly, he hates vegetables.(00:24:00) The Power of Persistence: What's Made Him Relentless“It's about the objective — even if it's just influencing one person.”Reads company case studies and biographies to stay grounded.Avoids victim mindset: “Self-pity invites fear, and fear kills creativity.”Expansion, not perfection, keeps him engaged after 27 years.(00:28:34) Why He Changed “Beachbody” to “BODi” — And Faced the BacklashBeachbody = outdated ideals; BODi = well-being and “health esteem.Carl wanted his kids to grow up with a healthier message around body image.Despite board resistance, he pushed the rebrand through for long-term values.“Do I want to be known for six-pack abs… or for helping people love themselves enough to take care of themselves?” (00:33:32) Where Fitness Needs to Go: Simple, Sustainable, and...

Segment 1: Julie Smolyansky, CEO of Lifeway Foods, joins John Williams to talk about National Kefir Day, what they are doing to celebrate 40 years in business, how the company brought Kefir to the United States, the cultural relevancy of Lifeway Kefir, how much the company has grown, the expansion into other products, the health […]

Kefir changed my life—and I've watched it do the same for thousands of others. In this episode, I'm sharing how this powerful, probiotic-rich drink helped restore my health from the inside out. From lowering blood pressure and balancing blood sugar, to calming the nervous system and boosting immunity, kefir is a living food with ancient roots and modern-day miracles. If your body is crying out for help, kefir may just be the answer it's looking for.

In this bitesize episode, I speak to gut health expert Tim Spector about the link between the microbiome and mental health. Tim explains how the bacteria in your gut produce key brain chemicals like serotonin and GABA — and how what you eat affects stress, mood, energy and even sleep. We also talk about the hidden signs of poor gut health, why 'five-a-day' advice isn't enough anymore, and how ultra-processed foods are quietly reshaping our national health. I share a personal story of how fermented foods helped turn around my own anxiety — and why the gut is a good place to start if you're feeling off balance.

Kathleen investigates a report that kefir may improve memory in Alzheimer's patients. Peter talks about future guests and our featured author. Kathleen's Deep Dive The consumption of Kefir has been shown to improve memory by 68% in Alzheimer's patients. The number of cases globally is expected to increase to 150 million by 2050. However, Kefir can decrease inflammation, suppress oxidative stress and reverse DNA damage.

Episode 435: Rebuild Your Microbiome The Meat: What are the top 3 ways to rebuild your microbiome and the health of your gut? You want an INVINCIBLE microbiome! We're giving you the keys to the car. Number #1: How to rebuild and cultivate the health of your microbiome…KEFIR. (Not the store bought stuff). Traditional, home fermented kefir. You can get powders from Cultured Food Life (our partner). Even those who think it's too hard… You can do it! You get up to 50 strains of healing bacteria… Drink daily if you can. Purchase Easy Starter: https://store.trimhealthymama.com/product/easy-kefir-powder/ Number #2: How to rebuild and cultivate the health of your microbiome… BAOBAB. Up to 2-3 TBSP per day Regular baobab consumption significantly increases gut microbiome diversity, as seen in both Hadza tribespeople and modern users, supporting better metabolic health. Baobab helps lower blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity, partly due to its tartness and powerful polyphenols like epicatechin and procyanidins. It naturally promotes GLP-1 production, mimicking the effects of some blood sugar-lowering medications, especially when combined with kefir. Baobab is 70–80% fiber, with two-thirds being prebiotic, which fuels gut bacteria and leads to the creation of health-boosting postbiotics. Buy Our Baobab: https://store.trimhealthymama.com/product/baobab-boost-powder-11oz-bag/ Number #3: How to rebuild and cultivate the health of your microbiome… Fermented Plants. Compared to high-fiber foods alone, fermented veggies show significantly stronger and faster gut-health benefits. Fermented veggies increase gut microbe diversity, improving whole-body health and immune function. They help lower blood lipids, reduce inflammation, and support healthy weight and blood pressure. Fermented foods reduce the activation of immune cells and decrease inflammatory proteins like interleukin 6. The Power Veggies?

Uns verbindet ganz eindeutig die Freude am Essen. Und auch die aufrichtige Liebe zu Spaghetti-Eis. Auf anderer Ebene sind dann aber gravierende Unterschiede zu entdecken, denn die Moderatorin, Journalistin und Podcasterin Anna Dushime hat stets ein Fläschchen Kefir in ihrer Handtasche, soll ja sehr gesund sein, aber schon wenn ich es schreibe, zieht sich mein Mund zusammen. Anna kann wunderbar erzählen, hat einen schnellen und schönen Humor und ein gutes Gedächtnis, denn sie kann sich noch an viel von dem erinnern, was lange zurückliegt. „Toast Hawaii“ ist nicht der Podcast, in dem wir diesbezüglich näher ins Detail gehen werden, aber zu Annas Leben gehört nicht nur das ziemlich erfolgreiche und sicherlich angenehme Hier und Jetzt, sondern auch eine Zeit, die extrem gefährlich und herausfordernd war, um dieses verhältnismäßig nüchterne Wort zu benutzen. Sie kam 1988 in Kigali, der Hauptstadt Ruandas, zur Welt. Ihr Vater wird ermordet, die Mutter flieht 1994 mit den Kindern vorm Völkermord über Uganda nach England, 4 Jahre später lebt die Familie in Deutschland. Anna studiert Marketing in den Niederlanden und in Ungarn, es klingt nach einem Leben in Bewegung und vielleicht erklärt das ihren gegenwärtigen Hang zum „Drinnie“-Sein. Zu Hause! Gemütlich! Ihr Schönstes. Und so sprechen wir nicht nur über ihre früheste Kindheit in Ruanda mit Sonntagsbraten und gebratenen Heuschrecken, sondern auch über Spontan-Käufe im Internet, Mi-Nudeln mit Curry, das sogenannte „Marry me“-Chicken und einen Berg Nutella-Toasts, die man natürlich am besten vorm Fernseher isst. *** WERBUNG Toast Hawaii wird unterstützt von dmBio, die Bio-Lebensmittelmarke von dm-drogerie markt. Ganz nach dem Motto „Natürlich lecker erleben“ bietet dmBio mit mehr als 550 Produkten eine vielfältige Auswahl – von leckeren Snacks für zwischendurch bis hin zu original italienischen Tomatensaucen. Haben auch Sie eine dmBio-Geschichte, die im Podcast erzählt werden soll? Dann schreiben Sie uns gerne unter rustberlin@icloud.com ÖKO-Kontrollstelle: DE-ÖKO-007

Join me for a discussion all about kefir, its origins, its benefits, how to make it and HOW TO USE IT!Sponsor 1: Permies.com FUNDLE $45: https://permies.com/wiki/223017f495/Fundle-fungi-bundle Sponsor 2: AgoristTaxAdvice.com Shout out: Canary Cry Radio! https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=XK4bqtxb1PA  Tales from the Prepper Pantry Bacon Week Slicing Like a Mad Woman Ground Lamb The Carnivore Scotch Egg Test Operation Independence No more TAHOE 1. Why Kefir Matters More than just a probiotic – Kefir is a living ecosystem of bacteria and yeast, offering benefits beyond typical fermented foods. Gut health & digestion – Restores microbiome balance and may help with IBS. Immune system support – Contains natural antibacterial and antifungal compounds. Bone health & longevity – High in calcium, magnesium, and vitamin K2, supporting bone density. Why it beats store-bought probiotic drinks – No added sugars, no preservatives, and a wider range of beneficial microbes. The Mysterious Origins of Kefir No one knows! Ancient legends – Believed to have originated in the Caucasus Mountains, with stories linking it to nomadic herders or religious figures. Some claim kefir grains were a gift from the Prophet Muhammad to Orthodox Christians. Others suggest they evolved naturally in animal skins used for storing milk. Why scientists can't recreate it – Unlike yogurt cultures, kefir grains cannot be artificially synthesized, making them a true biological mystery. Kefir grains are a complex symbiotic community (SCOBY) that must be propagated from existing grains. Attempts to isolate and recreate them in labs have failed, suggesting a unique co-evolution with traditional dairy farming. 4. The Science Behind Kefir Fermentation Bacteria vs. Yeast – A Perfect Partnership Bacteria (Lactic Acid Bacteria - LAB) – Convert lactose into lactic acid, lowering the pH and thickening the milk. Yeasts – Break down sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide, adding mild effervescence and contributing to flavor complexity. Acetobacter species – Convert ethanol into acetic acid, giving kefir its subtle tang. How fermentation transforms milk Lactose breakdown – Kefir becomes more digestible for lactose-intolerant individuals. Nutrient enhancement – Increases B vitamins, calcium, and K2, making nutrients more bioavailable. Probiotic boost – Contains up to 50+ strains of beneficial bacteria and yeast, making it superior to yogurt in microbial diversity. How to Make Kefir at Home Basic Steps: Add kefir grains to whole milk (raw or pasteurized, but avoid ultra-pasteurized). Cover loosely and let ferment 12-24 hours at room temperature. Strain the grains, store finished kefir in the fridge, and repeat the process. Troubleshooting Common Issues: Too sour? Shorten fermentation time or use cooler temperatures. Too thin? Use higher-fat milk or ferment longer. Off flavors? Check milk quality and ensure grains are healthy. 6. Ways to Use Kefir Beyond Drinking It Culinary Uses: Smoothies & flavored kefir – Blend with fruit, honey, or spices. Salad dressings & dips – Use as a tangy base for ranch or tzatziki. Kefir cheese & butter – Strain whey to make a spreadable cheese. Second Fermentation for More Flavor & Fizz: How to do it – Store strained kefir in an airtight bottle with fruit or honey for another 12-24 hours. Why it works – Yeasts consume remaining sugars, boosting carbonation. Best add-ins: Citrus peel, ginger, berries, vanilla bean. Make it a great week! GUYS!

When in Los Angeles, you know the hosts are making an Erewhon run. As they sift through bags of new, innovative and unusual beverages and snacks purchased at the high-end retailer, the hosts discuss Erewhon's reputation as a launching pad for emerging brands. We also sit down with Nicola Hart and Leon Pullin of Agua De Madre, a London-based brand of water kefir and other functional beverages. Show notes: 0:25: Marina Del Ray. We Drank Pizza Wine. Next Stop… Walmart? Protein Everything. – As the hosts settle into the Taste Radio studio at NOSH Live Winter 2024, Ray releases a bit of frustration before John de-waxes and uncorks Pizza Hut's infamous tomato wine, of which everyone has a splash. John spreads spicy dried mango, several functional drinks and a few protein-infused snacks across the podcasting table, and while the hosts sample, they discuss the scalability of innovative concepts and whether premium sweet treats need functional ingredients. 32:27: Interview: Nicola Hart, Founder & Leon Pullin, Managing Director, Agua De Madre –  Launched in 2017, Agua De Madre markets water kefir and ginger and turmeric shots that are distributed throughout England, including at Whole Foods stores, and are also sold direct-to-consumer via its website. The products are made in small batches at Agua De Madre's fermentory and production facility in East London. We met up with Nicola and Leon in London for a conversation about the origins of the brand and their approach to formulation, consumer education and distribution, as well as the opportunity they see for retail in the U.S. Brands in this episode: Agua De Madre, Senor Mango, Kif, Flowin, French Squirrel, Nelly's Organics, Sprinkle Bites, Feisty Soda, Better Booch, Rmbr, Bliss Ball, WBS, Ghia, San Pellegrino

These foods are promoted as healthy, but after watching this, you'll never eat them again! Find out about the 7 foods you should never eat. 1. Granola bars Nature Valley granola bars contain bioengineered food ingredients, which means they're GMO. GMO foods contain glyphosate, an herbicide linked to cancer. Granola bars also contain sugar (probably beet sugar), seed oils, and refined starches. One Nature Valley granola bar serving contains almost 7 teaspoons of sugar! 2. Agave syrup This sweetener is often considered diabetic or keto-friendly because it's low on the glycemic index. Agave is 85% fructose, which the liver must process. The liver treats fructose the same way as alcohol—like a toxin! 3. Flavored yogurt You probably wouldn't consider flavored yogurt as junk food because it's marketed as a healthy, convenient probiotic rich in calcium and protein. At 30 grams of sugar per serving, most flavored yogurts have more sugar than a candy bar! Many probiotics in flavored yogurt won't even survive your stomach acid. Look for whole-fat yogurt, Bulgarian yogurt, or Greek yogurt without the added sugar. Kefir is an even better option and has significantly more friendly bacteria. 4. Non-dairy creamers Non-dairy creamers are often considered a healthy alternative to milk but contain unhealthy ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, glucose syrup, maltodextrin, and trans fats. Check the ingredients to ensure they don't contain soy, corn, canola, or cottonseed oil. It's best to just use regular cream or half-and-half. 5. Soy milk Soy products like soy milk can cause estrogenic effects like the development of breast tissue in men. Soy milk is not really milk at all! 6. Fast-food lettuce Dressings on fast-food salads contain seed oils, trans fats, hidden starches, and high fructose corn syrup. Fast-food lettuce is coated in a preservative called sodium bisulfite and rinsed in a chlorine wash. 7. Puffed cereals/rice cakes A chemist who worked for Quaker studied rats and noticed they would die after being fed puffed cereal.
