In this podcast, I explain why I changed my mind about using lactose-free milk to make yogurt, how Lactase works in the body, and why fermented dairy like kefir and yogurt are often easier to digest than regular milk. I also share why avoiding dairy for long periods can lower lactase production and make people think they have a dairy allergy when they may not.

Two people can eat the same food and have completely different blood sugar responses. Why? In this episode, we uncover what's happening before glucose ever hits your bloodstream—and how fermented foods like kefir, yogurt, and cultured vegetables can make all the difference.

Your body was designed to support you.
It's working for you all day long—filtering, balancing, and detoxing—without you ever even thinking about it. But if your gut isn't working well, those systems don't work as well either.
In this episode, I'm sharing why your gut is such an important part of your detox system and how simple foods—like fermented vegetables—can make a powerful difference.
Sometimes it's not about doing more…It's about supporting what's already there.

Yogurt isn't just yogurt.
In this episode, I explain why homemade yogurt works differently in your body—how fermentation changes everything, why it keeps you fuller, and how making a simple weekly batch can transform your routine.

Most people think yogurt, kefir, and skyr are basically the same…But one simple step changes everything.
In this episode, I'm going to show you how straining transforms fermented dairy — increasing protein, lowering lactose, and changing how full and satisfied you feel. We'll talk about kefir, Greek yogurt, skyr, and Yogurt Plus… and how each one works differently in your body. Because when you understand this, you can start choosing foods that truly support you.

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.

Why do meals with fermented foods like kefir and yogurt often leave you feeling more satisfied? In this episode, we explore the fascinating connection between fermented foods, protein, the microbiome, and the gut signals that help regulate appetite and blood sugar. Donna shares insights from her own kitchen experiments and the science that may explain why fermented foods can make meals more nourishing and satisfying.

Protein has become the focus of modern health — but digestion is often overlooked. In this episode, I talk about why fermented protein is easier to absorb, how fermentation transforms dairy, and why foods like yogurt, kefir, and L. reuteri ferments can support muscle, metabolism, and gut health more effectively than processed protein products.

How does L. reuteri actually work? In this episode, I explain how this unique beneficial bacterium functions in the upper gut, produces bacteriocins that inhibit harmful bacteria, and supports balance without damaging the microbiome.

In this episode, I share how fermented foods like kefir, yogurt, cultured vegetables, and kombucha can help calm cravings, support blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and gently bring your metabolism back into rhythm. We'll talk about why weight loss often doesn't happen right away, how your gut bacteria play a powerful role, and how small, consistent habits can create lasting change.
This isn't a quick fix. It's a kinder, smarter way to support your body — and let weight loss happen naturally.

When Is the Best Time to Eat Fermented Foods?
Fermented foods were once eaten naturally—at meals, between meals, whenever they were ready. But modern digestion is different, and WHEN you eat fermented foods can matter.
In this episode, I share the best times to enjoy fermented foods and why timing can support digestion, blood sugar, and appetite—especially if you're over 40 or just getting started. Tune in to learn more.

In this episode, I share the ancient story of skyr—an Icelandic cultured food that has nourished people for more than a thousand years. Skyr wasn't a trend or a treat. It was relied upon, day after day, to sustain families through long winters and hard work. I also share how a visit to a Danish village inspired me to create a Viking-style seed and nut bread enriched with skyr—one of the most satisfying gluten-free breads I've ever made.

In this episode, I share the story of the forgotten foods that built strong guts for thousands of years — kefir, yogurt, cultured vegetables, fermented drinks, and sourdough. These foods weren't trends or optional add-ons. They were everyday nourishment that supported digestion, immunity, and resilience.
If you've ever wondered why modern guts struggle so much, this episode may help you remember what the body has always known.

People ask me this question all the time — which kefir is best? In this episode, I break down the real differences between water kefir, milk kefir, and kefir soda, and explain why they're not all the same, even when they look similar. We'll talk about probiotics, yeasts, sugar, alcohol concerns, and why microbial diversity matters — especially if you're healing your gut or dealing with sensitivities like candida.

January isn't meant for restriction, detoxes, or dieting. It's meant for rest, repair, and nourishment.
In this episode, I share why January is actually the best time to heal your gut — gently and naturally. We'll talk about why true detoxing isn't about taking things away, how cultured foods support the liver, immune system, and microbiome, and why foods like kefir, kombucha, yogurt, kefir soda, and cultured vegetables are support foods, not quick fixes.
If you're ready to begin the year feeling better in your body — without pressure or extremes — this episode is for you.

I want to introduce you to a beautiful gift from nature that has been nourishing people for centuries: Baobab! If you haven’t heard of this ancient tree’s superfruit, get ready to be amazed. Just like cultured foods bring health to your gut and vitality to your whole body, baobab, a prebiotic, offers a powerhouse of nutrients that can uplift your wellness in a gentle, natural way.
EDIT: In the podcast, I mentioned that the Hadza people live in Northern Pakistan, but that is incorrect, they are in Northern Tanzania.

Bread has long been a dietary staple, but modern shortcuts and farming practices have changed it in ways that can wreak havoc on our health. In this episode, discover how my search for a solution to my daughter’s gluten intolerance led her to the art of sourdough and sprouted bread. Explore how ancient fermentation methods break down problematic proteins, why chemicals like glyphosate are now common in wheat production, and how nutrient depletion contributes to today’s epidemic of gluten-related issues. Plus, learn about Einkorn—an ancient wheat variety—and how it offers a more digestible option for many. Join us to reclaim the wisdom of traditional bread-making and restore our relationship with this timeless food.

Bifidobacteria are a group of beneficial bacteria that reside primarily in the intestines. They play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy gut and overall well-being and keep your immune system strong. I am hearing more and more that many people have diminished Bifidobacteria.

Coconut water makes fabulous kefir soda. I love how it tastes, and how easy it is to make. It has 10 times the probiotics and 5 times the probiotic yeasts that kefir sodas made with fruit juices have. You can have 236 billion good bacteria in a cup! It reduces the sugars to almost zero and is only made with 3 ingredients. Find out more in the podcast.

Orange juice contains special compounds that have a lot of health benefits. Hesperidin is abundant in oranges and is a phytonutrient (a naturally occurring plant compound). I always thought that orange juice was full of sugar and bad for you, but that is the old way of thinking. Over and over in this work, I have seen people demonize foods - only to find out that it's not the food!

When I first heard about how powerful HMOs were, I went looking for them. Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are specific carbohydrates, and essentially a super prebiotic occurring naturally in mother’s milk. It helps build the all-important Bifidobacterium in the gut that has a myriad of health benefits all the while feeding other species of bacteria in your gut to promote a diverse and strong microbiome. I found HMOs at Layer Origin and was pretty impressed but after I tried them I was convinced. Not too long after that, I was contacted by Beau from Layer Origin who is on this podcast. It's a leading-edge conversation and I'm excited to share it with you.

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.

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.

Fermenting, sprouting, and soaking are all ways I enhance my food. These are the heroes that help me stay healthy in spite of all that seems to tell me I need to fear aging and all the disease that could come my way. Sprouting seeds is similar to fermentation. Sprouting seeds makes certain nutrients easier to absorb than when the foods are in their non-sprouted form. Check out how easy it is to make a jar of fresh greens on your kitchen counter. Each meal is a time to start anew and change your body by flooding it with nutrients. Check out the podcast for more info.

Billions of microbes and yeasts transform the tea into a bubbly probiotic tea that you will love.

Almost two decades ago I had a revelation. No longer could I rely on any individual to solve all my health problems even if it was a medical professional. Although I have a lot of respect for what they do, I realized that they are very limited since they only get two weeks of nutrition in medical school. That's simply not enough information and since we need to eat and drink to survive, and so do our cells, I wanted to know how our cells ingest nutrients, fluids, proteins, and other molecules to make the body we call home.

Jun is a cultured food similar to kombucha but supposedly its own separate thing. It is brewed with a SCOBY culture that is light in color and is made using green tea and honey. It ferments for a few days less than kombucha and has a wonderfully tangy floral taste that is lighter than traditional kombucha. There is a little confusion about where it came from and how to make it, so listen to today's podcast to learn more.

I have used bone broths and collagen as a form of natural healing in my life and in the lives of my family members. The older I get, the more I find how essential these foods are to my body. I first noticed how crucial it is to consume these foods about eighteen years ago when my daughter had IBS. I made her tons of soups made with collagen-rich bone broths and she had at least one cultured food at every meal. In a month she began to heal in a powerful way. As I've gotten older, I notice how much they help my skin and joints stay stronger. Tune in to find out how many benefits you can receive from collagen and gelatin.

Sometimes you have to fight through some bad days to find the best days of your life. As a young woman, I always had a sense of urgency but never knew what it was.

Maybe we're transforming from what we used to be to a higher, better version of ourselves - trying to find our way through all the confusion and bad habits of the past. Changing is just a journey, but you can't continue doing what you always do and transform. Listen to learn what has helped me and most likely can help you too. You're worth the effort!
