Today on the Gut Health Reset Podcast, we are discussing fermentation and fermented foods with Holly Howe! Fermented foods have been consumed for hundreds of years and may hold the secret to a healthy gut. Fermentation is a process in which bacteria or other microorganisms convert carbohydrates into acids or alcohols that are easier for the body to digest and utilize.This naturally increases gut bacteria, which in turn helps to seed and nourish the microbiome. Eaten on a regular basis, these foods can offer better digestion, improved nutrient absorption and stronger immunity.
