With many kitchen shops now selling a variety of fermenting equipment, it can be a little difficult to work out what you need. Listed below are some fermenting equipment recommendations. While you can choose to purchase some high end fermenting equipment, there is also inexpensive alternatives.

I’m a big advocate for consuming fermented foods, because it means we’re consuming beneficial microbes to assist us to digest, absorb and assimilate the foods we are eating.

Therefore it becomes vital to consume fermented foods daily, to reap their digestive benefits as they move through our gastrointestinal tract. In this post I share my favourite ways to integrate fermented foods into our meals each day:

When you introduce ferments, you will be killing off some opportunistic microbes. They release toxins when they die off that your body has to process.

Some people refer to this as the ‘die off effect’. This die off effect is often seen as an exacerbation of the original symptom picture so you may need to start incredibly slowly with each ferment.

We do so much to destroy our gut microbiome and little to build it up! There are several internal & external factors that can influence the composition of our gut bacteria and in turn, our wider health. In this post I identify what disrupts our gut heath and how we can beneficial bacteria in.

If you can just buy sauerkraut, yogurt, kombucha at the store why should you even bother making your own?

The short answer is that there are some great fermenting products on the market and there are some very average ones.

Here are a few reasons why I recommend DIY fermenting at home.

A low inflammatory and low oxalate diet is a vital foundation to a mould protocol.

This needs to be tailored to the individual as there may be histamine issues and/or sulphur issues that need to be taken into consideration.

Our bodies waste can become more toxic when we bring in glutathione, binders and anti-fungals to assist with removing moulds and the biotoxins that moulds produce. 

A lovely bubbly client had issues with sleep and fatigue. The client was waking multiple times per night, had trouble falling back to sleep, night urination and not dreaming…

When our oxalate bucket over flows, we may see urinary issues such as not fully voiding. We may be bursting to urinate, make it to the toilet, only to think ‘that wasn’t much of a wee’.

There can be another side to moulds, apart from the physical. The emotional side. This was pointed out to me, by an amazing Social Worker and ‘Story Weaver’ who I refer clients to, Donelle Smith.
