Had a wonderful conversation with Lisa Levitt Gain

Had a wonderful conversation with Lisa Levitt Gainsley of @thelymphaticmessage on her new podcast, It’s Your Lymph

We talked all about
* Gut-brain axis
* Effects of diet and digestion on gut microbiome
* Gut microbiome influence on mood, behavior, and cognitive function
* Constipation and gastrointestinal disorders
* Lifestyle optimizations for a better microbiome and metabolic function

This conversation serves as an important reminder to listen to what your body says rather than the noise of a world that’s constantly marketing the next diet, self-care, or exercise model

Listen to the full episode on Apple:

Not all sourdough products that you find in stores

Not all sourdough products that you find in stores are truly fermented

Typical bread found at the grocery store is made with commercial yeast, specifically a species of yeast called Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This species is commonly referred to as ‘baker’s yeast,’ or ‘brewer’s yeast’ as it is used in the production of beer as well. Yeast is added to the dough, which feeds off added sugars, producing carbon dioxide.

In order to make sourdough bread, however, you need a sourdough starter, also known as levain. It is essentially a combination of water and flour that ferments with the help of naturally occurring yeasts and bacteria, which are present all around us. The yeast feeds off the carbohydrates found in flour to produce carbon dioxide, and lactic acid bacteria produce sour lactic acid (which gives sourdough its distinct tangy flavor).

True sourdough is made with just flour, water, and salt. If you notice any additives on the ingredient label such as yeast or baking powder, this is an indication that the bread is not truly sourdough. And because it is not truly fermented, it will not have the same health benefits.
