Episode 350: What Fermented Foods, Protein, and Fiber Are Really Doing

from Cultured Food Life · host Donna Schwenk

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.
