Show notes

Gut health is more important than you can imagine. Having a healthy gut means your gut contains large amounts of healthy bacteria and immune cells that ward off infectious agents like bacteria, viruses, and fungi. But that's not all! A healthy gut also communicates with the brain through nerves and hormones, which helps maintain general health and well-being and less anxiety. If you've been experiencing more anxiety and digestive distress, then look first to your gut. This is your body's cry for help and you're the captain of your ship. Getting better can be just a meal away. Check out the podcast for more info.

Episode 174: Resistant Starch - The Key To A Healthy Gut Sep 21, 2021

Show notes

Resistant starches are a type of fiber that plays a major role in digestive health, but it is also essential for achieving incredible overall health. These special fibers aren't completely broken down and absorbed in the stomach or small intestine. Instead, they pass through to the colon and are converted into short-chain fatty acids which act as prebiotics to help feed the beneficial bacteria in the gut. But there's a trick to consuming these foods. Listen to learn more.

Kefir grains themselves are made up of many different species of bacteria and yeasts. Within the cell walls of the grains are cellulose microfibrils which are embedded in a polysaccharide matrix consisting of proteins. That's a lot of complicated words, but kefir grains are multi-complex microorganisms. They are mostly fiber and proteins made from milk caseins and I do love them for all they've done for me.
