Stacie King: Freshly Milled Flour, Real Nutrition & Her Home Birth Story

#30: Join Madi and neighbor Stacie King as they dive into the kitchen revival sweeping their neighborhood — freshly milled flour, why whole grains matter, and the practical tools that make it possible. Stacie explains how milling wheat berries at home changed her family’s digestion, allergies, energy, and even menstrual regularity, plus exactly what gear and storage tips she recommends (mills, mixers, batching, gamma lids). The episode also takes a tender turn as Stacie shares her empowering home birth experience — midwives, doulas, the fetal-ejection reflex, and why trusting your body matters. Perfect for anyone curious about baking with real food, upgrading pantry staples, or exploring gentler birth options. What you’ll learn in this episode: • Why freshly milled flour = more bioavailable nutrients vs. store flour • Practical starter gear: mills, mixers, bread machines, and storage tips • Real health wins — digestion, allergies, menstrual cycle, energy • Sourdough, pasta, batch-baking and family-friendly recipes • Stacie’s home birth story: midwife care, doulas, FER (fetal ejection reflex) & recovery • Where to buy wheat berries, mill recommendations, and recipe resources Resources & links mentioned (affiliate links): Azure - Link to buy Wheat Berries: https://www.azurestandard.com/?a_aid=a33c76a435 MockMill: https://www.madisonfournier.com/new-page NutriMill: https://collabs.shop/ao8v8u (Use code Madison for $20 off) Bosch Mixer: https://collabs.shop/4y23qh (Use code Madison for $20 off) Bread Machine (can be used as mixer): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZQ711SW?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzmad0cbe1-20&creativeASIN=B07ZQ711SW&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.11YZZL87ZCQL7&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ons_d_asin Stacie King - IG @staciacking Sue Beckers FMF Cook Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0778805344?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzmad0cbe1-20&creativeASIN=0778805344&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.11YZZL87ZCQL7&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ons_mixed_d_asin Freshly Milled Flour Amazon Roundup - https://www.amazon.com/shop/soaakclinics/list/11YZZL87ZCQL7?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_S0RMXW9V2D92F1E19JMA 00:00 Introduction 00:59 How Stacie first brought freshly-milled flour to the neighborhood 02:23 The New Year’s Eve discovery that changed everything 03:24 Baking frustrations & why Stacie dove into milling 04:57 First freshly-milled pasta — digestion & immediate effects 06:15 Nutrition deep dive & credit to Sue Becker 07:22 Biblical connections: wheat, bread, and meaning 12:11 Spiritual & cultural reflections on food and convenience 15:14 Batch-baking, family routines, and getting it to fit your schedule 17:11 Freshly-milled flour shelf life — why it spoils fast 18:10 “Dead flour”: what’s removed from store flour and why it matters 21:01 Sourdough vs freshly-milled flour — pros and practical notes 23:33 Allergy improvement & other health changes noticed 25:00 Menstrual cycle improvements and reduced cramping 28:28 Getting started: the one essential tool (grain mill) 37:03 Mixers, Bosch vs KitchenAid issues, and kneading tips 41:38 Stacie’s home birth story — midwives, doulas, and the experience 52:00 Fetal ejection reflex (FER), postpartum recovery & closing thoughts   Follow Stacie King: Instagram: @staciacking   Follow Soaak & Sound Living With Madi: Website – Soaak Technologies App – Soaak Frequency Therapy Instagram – @thesoaakpodcast Madi’s Instagram – @madisonfournier_ Sponsors: Visit soaak.com/app and enter code Soaakpod for your first month free!
