Were you a breastfed baby? Not me. I also grew up eating tons of refined sugars and grains. Between a SAD (Standard American Diet) during childhood, chlorinated and fluoridated municipal drinking water, and various rounds of antibiotics, I’m fairly certain that I suffered from gut dysbiosis — the unhealthy balance of good and bad bacteria and yeasts in the gut. Strange as it may sound, creating a healthy balance of gut flora can actually have a HUGE impact on your overall health.
One of the KEY ways we can improve gut health is by incorporating more fermented, living foods into our diets. Last week, I hosted a giveaway for 3 starter cultures from Cultures For Health. Today, I get to announce the lucky winner AND share a coupon with the rest of you!

I loved watching the video about water kefir. I’m confused though about why ‘finished’ water kefir would be sweet. Somehow my brain can’t wrap itself around that concept. Can you help?
