Podcast Episode 21: The Mineral That Saved my Life

Our bodies can’t produce all of the nutrients that we need to function properly, so we have to eat them. One specific mineral saved my life.

This one brought tears to my eyes. I'm so glad health came to you after that miracle baby arrived in your life.

[@barbaracarbone4658]

Great vid. I received your kefir grains a week ago and I've been making kefir everyday!! And it's so delicious. My grains are multiplying like crazy! Thanks much.

[@CulturedFoodLife]

Thank you for taking care of them Barbara!

[@tabithataylor4676]

I just went threw every bit of this last year!! God bless you for all you are doing to help others. I started kefir sunday. I pray this helps to heal me.

[@CulturedFoodLife]

Hope you find some healing as well Tabitha! Keep us updated on how you are doing!

[@lonitawhaley5345]

Thank you Donna! You are such a balanced presenter of good information. You sound like you have done some extensive research to create wellness messages that I hope help lots of people. I will recommend your podcasts and web site to others in my life so they can learn about the interesting and helpful things you have uncovered for others. Thank you for shedding light on topics the medical community seems to want to ignore. You're a blessing!

[@CulturedFoodLife]

You're most welcome!! So happy you are enjoying the podcasts and I really appreciate you listening and commenting and sharing your story!

[@patdawson3555]

Oh my goodness you are in my hood. I have lived in Fallbrook now I live in Bonsall and I have been to Valley Center. I hope that I could meet you. You should think of giving a class at the community center in Fallbrook. I actually work at the school right next to it. I drink/eat kefir milk. It’s my desert and I’m sharing the wealth with friends and coworkers. Hope to see you soon.

Unfortunately I don't live in New York. I'd LOVE to meet the beautiful Ms. Probiotic Foods! I could talk with you for hours. If you ever come to Columbus, Ohio, I'd love to see you, Donna!

[@katethinksaboutit7813]

Thank you so much for your Podcast. I've watched a quite a few of of in the last couple of days in their very educational. I have started a spiritual journey about 8 years ago and the 2nd part of my journey is to get my health in order. You are very much helping me thank you

Thanks Donna! We are "fearfully and wonderfully made"! Psalm 139:14

[@kraff1993]

Finding your channel has been an answer to my prayers! Thank you!

Dr Sircus a pastoral doctor raves about magnesium and bicarbonate of soda, he wrote books on them and has a website.

[@adorableadornments1101]

I am a binge listener. LOL!

[@barbaradearman5438]

Me too!

[@beckysmith7142]

Great video Donna, great info!!! Thanks!!!

[@ToriLynnH]

I didn't want to listen to a 15 minute advertisement. I wanted to hear about the minerals.

[@eifionphillips3004]

Magnesium can lower cancer risk by 50% and is vital for new healthy cells.

[@robertday1194]

Great podcast....I have been taking mag for years.....am not doing kefir and will change my salts....order the prebio

[@CulturedFoodLife]

Keep us updated on how you do Robert!

[@lisadamico8318]

What about ghee culture butter .

[@CulturedFoodLife]

I like it! It just isnt as powerful as the other cultured foods I speak up (probiotic wise)

[@klotus8885]

Hello, Donna. I bought kefir grains from you about a year ago. It has been great. I am wondering how much kefir do you normally drink a day? Is it possible to have too much of it? Thanks.

[@CulturedFoodLife]

Hi! Sorry for the response here is a whole blog on how many cultured foods I eat in a day: www.culturedfoodlife.com/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-cultured-foodie/

[@sandrabrown272]

I googled where to buy Celtic sea salt and most types were “Grey Sea Salt” there were others but which do you recommend? BTW I’ve been spraying mag oil on my skin for years using the ancient mag crystals you spoke of from Amazon. 👍🏼

[@CulturedFoodLife]

As long as it is celtic sea salt (which will be naturally grey) you are good. I like this brand: www.culturedfoodlife.com/store/product/celtic-sea-salt-light-grey-by-the-grain-salt-society-coarse-ground-1-lb/

[@lisagardner4814]

@@CulturedFoodLife what About Redmond real salt it’s a mineral salt

[@kefirheals7383]

Just wondering - if we start using the more natural salts, Celtic sea salt, Realsalt, Himalayan, etc - what about our need for the iodine factor? Don't we need iodine still? I don't want to stop using regular iodized salt unless I'm sure that we don't need it anymore. Just curious what you think, or how you are addressing that. Thank you.

[@deeavv]

Iodine has been added to salt (in the form of potassium iodide) since 1924. It does not occur naturally in the salt. I I am attaching a website where you can see a list with foods that contain iodine and other important information. I often think about that too. ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iodine-HealthProfessional/

[@CulturedFoodLife]

I get my iodine by adding kelp to my diet. A good way to do that is eating cultured vegetables!

[@barbaracarbone4658]

Donna Schwenk. Do you culture kelp? Or is iodine produced in cultured vegetables?

[@CulturedFoodLife]

Yeah just add some kelp into your cultured vegetables.

[@peggysueway3889]

I find kelp fishy tasting so I use the pill form. Ruined a pot of soup with kelp wrappers for sushi :(

[@Txnative7]

Is kefir compatible with the keto diet? I know the commercial kefir is really high in carbs/sugar.

[@donnakefir]

Txnative Yes it’s very low in carbs and sugar. Only 1% sugar, most of the lactose is eaten by the bacteria.

[@emilymabry7533]

Hello Donna! I live in temecula! Do you do events in this area?

[@CulturedFoodLife]

We do! We had few classes in Valley Center last year, and we're hoping to do more in the area this year.

[@CulturedFoodLife]

I would love to do a class in Temecula. Do you know of any good venues?
