200: The Science & Story Behind Kefir - Julie Smolyansky

The Science & Story Behind Kefir
Kefir originated in the Caucasus Mountains region where Julie Smolyansky’s ancestors lived. When her family left the Soviet Union in 1976 they were refugees and immigrated to Chicago. A couple of years later, Julie’s mother opened the first Russian deli in Rogers Park. In 1985 while attending a trade show in Germany, Julie’s father bought some kefir and realized that the delicious dairy beverage was not available in the United States. The rest is history!

Try our new hemp flavored Kefir: We call it Reefer Kefir. It's great at impacting your mood.

😂I don't have the kefir grains but can I make the kefir with the one I buy from the store. Will the grains form from the kefir drink.

I am one of those few unfortunate individuals who had a reaction to Kefir. I had drunk Kefir before, no problem...just Lifeway (Publix 2 for 1) However, w]hen my Peradontist suggested I drink kefir a week before a deep cleaning, for the probiotics, I did. A few days after I started drinking the kefir, over the next few days, I discovered a rash on my legs, ankles, arms, back... The only thing that soothed the itching and pain after scratching was Aloe Vera cooling gel. I read I shouldn't eat eggs or drink milk or any dairy products until I get rid of the acne. Blueberries, strawberries, bananas...any other suggestions?

Is it ok to take kefir in low hemoglobin and spleen enlargement people?

[@MelissaJoyDobbins]

This is a question you should ask your health care provider. I cannot provide medical advice.

I want the kefir face mask. I have been having kefir for breakfast daily for 2 weeks 😊
