Episode highlights:Introduction: 00:00:00Why have you decided to become a scientist: 00:02:30What is fermentation: 00:07:45What microbes are involved in fermentation: 00:08:40How those microbes get into the fermented food: 00:09:35When the Humankind started to utilize fermentation: 00:11:20What is the difference between Probiotics and Live Cultures: 00:15:15What are the benefits of fermented food consumption: 00:17:43What foods are produced through lactic acid fermentation, and what are the best methods for making them at home: 00:23:10What is the positive effect of fermented foods on inflammation: 00:29:18What impact do fermented foods have on longevity: 00:32:10What are Postbiotics: 00:35:05Top tip for healthspan: 00:44:20Not all Fermented Foods Are EqualWhile many cultures around the world have enjoyed the benefits of fermented foods for centuries, modern consumers need to be savvier about what they're buying. Just because a food is fermented or contains live cultures doesn't mean it offers proven health benefits. The term "probiotics" is specifically defined and requires scientific evidence to support health claims, so don't be afraid to read labels carefully and choose fermented foods backed by research.Lactic Acid Fermentation May Be a Key Player in HealthWhile there are many types of fermentation, lactic acid fermentation, which is responsible for foods like yogurt, kimchi, and sauerkraut, is of particular interest to researchers. Early studies show promising links between consuming lactic acid-fermented foods and positive impacts on gut health, immune function, and even potentially longevity. The specific mechanisms are still being investigated, but it seems these foods offer more than just interesting flavors.Scientists Are Unlocking the Power of PostbioticsScientists are going beyond probiotics and exploring the potential of “postbiotics” – those beneficial compounds produced by bacteria during fermentation. These metabolites may hold the key to unlocking even more targeted health benefits from fermented foods. Dr. Allen and Dr. Miller's research on aryl lactates, for instance, suggests that some postbiotics could help modulate immune responses and address inflammation. This area of study is rapidly evolving and offers an exciting frontier in food science and human health.The History and Significance of FermentationLong before refrigeration, humans discovered the magic of fermentation. This process, dating back thousands of years, involves harnessing the power of microbes to transform food. What began as a way to preserve food has evolved into an art form, with diverse cultures developing unique fermentation traditions that add flavor and depth to their cuisines."A lot of these fermentation practices keep foods for a much longer period of time without refrigeration and we did not have refrigeration until 100 years ago." - Dr. Jacob AllenUnderstanding the Difference: Probiotics vs. Live CulturesWhile often used interchangeably, “probiotics” and “live cultures” have distinct meanings. Probiotics refer to specific strains of live microorganisms scientifically proven to provide health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. In contrast, “live cultures” indicate the presence of live microbes in food but don't guarantee specific health benefits without further research.“Probiotics are things that have documented clinical evidence. Live cultures, on the other hand, are you eating live microorganisms.” - Dr. Mike MillerWe Appreciate You!As a token of our gratitude, we're excited to offer you 15% off your next purchase.

This week, Faith talks to Dr. Daniel Freedberg, a gastroenterologist at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia. They discuss how the gut microbiome contributes to our overall health, and what we can do to keep the microbes in our gut thriving. Along the way, Dr. Freedberg demystifies probiotics, explains the biggest threat to our gut microbes, and explains why fiber is the most powerful tool for supporting microbial diversity in our digestive system.

Olives, chocolate, beer, and bread; what do these things have in common? They are all either started or driven by fermentation, the process by which—simply put—bacteria are deliberately introduced to an environment in order to crowd out harmful bacteria. Alex Lewin, health strategist and author, explains why he finds fermentation both fascinating and empowering. As the author of two books on the subject, Kombucha, Kefir, and Beyond, and Real Food Fermentation: Preserving Whole Fresh Food with Live Cultures in Your Home Kitchen, Lewin has become quite the expert on all things fermentation. He joins the podcast today to discuss the science behind it, how the body essentially carries out its own fermentation processes by forming alliances with good microbes in order to push out the bad, the digestive and nutritional benefits of fermented goods, how to make your own fermented goods, and so much more. Tune in for all the details.  

  We're back after a brief hiatus with our first ever Live Cultures sequel episode. Matt picks Mark Lawrence's second novel in his Book of the Ancestor series, Grey Sister. We're happy to catch up with the same happy go lucky Ninja Nuns we met in the first book (at least the ones that weren't brutally murdered)! In which: We discuss giant celestial moon mirrors, demons, puzzle boxes, and why you should care about shadows. Note: The audio at the very beginning and then also Matt's audio sucks on this episode and you may need to turn up your volume, I apologize for his sound quality. I still think the content is worth listening to till the end, especially for our recommendation and discussion of "The Terror". Please Rate and Review us on Itunes under Live Cultures Podcast!

Experimenting with bacteria and beverages. In This Podcast: Having first come across this drink at a cousin's house and thinking there was something wrong with the odd beverage, it was not until much later - and with an appreciation for fermented foods - that Alex Lewin gave kombucha a real chance.  Now he has a real understanding of the process and teaches others how to make their own. We learn some chemistry, some fun tricks for additional flavor, and even what his new favorite drink as we chat with him. Don't miss an episode!

Transforming food with healthy microbes. In This Podcast: Wanting to know more about healthy eating after his father got sick, Alex Lewin did lots of reading, studying, and research. He narrowed his focus to real foods and transforming food with healthy microbes.  Eventually he was quite skilled at fermentation and has enjoyed helping others get excited about this preservation process. He shares with us why this healthy option is worth learning about. Don't miss an episode!

Welcome back to Live Cultures! Cast. This week it's my pick and we discuss the 1990 novel Good Omens, co-authored by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.

Matt beat boxes his version of a British accent, and then reveals his disdain of certain British-isms. I manage to fondly read some of my favorite quotes and then unveil my secret origin. 00:00:00-00:05:54 Introduction 00:05:54-01:03:00 Summary/Discussion 01:03:00-End Recommendations and On Next Time..
