Podcast Episode 131: Did Kombucha Heal My Husband's Eyes?

My husband is used to my crazy new ideas and has become accustomed to my enthusiasm for whatever happens to be my latest discovery. He goes along for the ride but never jumps in with both feet until coaxed. Kombucha was the first food he really grasped on to, and here is why.

You taught me all i need to know about kombucha and kefir! I am now making it for friends and family ❤️🙏

[@CulturedFoodLife]

Aww so wonderful Atzi!

[@1979Smelly]

I love kombucha and it’s like an addiction I have. I just made my first batch and am doing the second ferment. I have been buying from Walmart not as nice as home fermented. Thank you for this amazing knowledge you have shared with us.

Kombucha works. Don't listen to Doctors. I get tons of energy to get me through my night shifts.

Hi Donna, I love fermented foods and have been making them for a few years after watching you on KZbin and now listening to you weekly.....but not making them very regularly. I want to start making some items for family but don't have the money to purchase a lot of organic foods. Many picky eaters in the group so I'll need to make lots of different kinds of things. Will the regular veggies etc. work just as well?

[@CulturedFoodLife]

You can use regular veggies! The fermentation process helps break down pesticides and chemicals and can help greatly change them into new healthy food. Just make sure you wash them first.

@@CulturedFoodLife Thank you!! 💕

[@christine8203]

@@CulturedFoodLife grateful for some clarification on fermenting cabbages, ie sauerkraut. Are you saying that for a non-organic head of cabbage, I should wash it before fermenting? And would this mean wash after slicing or shredding the leaves? Thanks….

[@CulturedFoodLife]

@@christine8203 If you use non organic you would just wash the whole head before slicing

[@christine8203]

@@CulturedFoodLife ok, thanks! Will do that for the next head of cabbage. 💐

Hello Donna... Wonder if you can help me? I love Kombucha so much and love the experiments. Kefir I can't get here in SA... Would love to ferment it.. But I wonder if kombucha have a effek on neuropathy. In the body. You have so much insight hope you can help me. Have a greate evening. 💐🌹

[@CulturedFoodLife]

Hi Alida, I don't have any specific information on this. But in my personal opinion, anything you can do to help assist the body into it's natural state of health and well being will be of benefit to just about everything.

Can kefir somehow not be good for me while I’m trying to get rid of Candida overgrowth? I’ve been drinking kefir twice daily for about a week now, haven’t seen difference in Candida levels.

[@CulturedFoodLife]

I think kefir is essential to healing candida. But a lot of other factors come into play. If you're consuming a lot of sugar or processed foods it will be very hard to get candida in balance. Check out this article: www.culturedfoodlife.com/candida-and-cultured-foods/

[@michellelindholm2100]

What recipes do you have for kombucha scobies, the actual ‘mother’, other than making kombucha? Can you eat the scoby?

[@Crazeefish313]

I used to eat the Scoobys. I noticed energy afterwards. Been a while but it's just cellulose
