For centuries, fermented foods have been part of traditional diets around the world, and for good reason. It turns out, the foods our ancestors chose for convenience actually have incredible health-promoting power we can all benefit from today.
Fermented foods are nature’s probiotics. The process of fermentation is carried out by a host of good bacteria and yeasts responsible not only for the distinctive flavor of ferments but many of their health benefits as well. When you eat fermented food, you’re ingesting a potent probiotic that science suggests will do more for your well-being than any encapsulated pill you find at the store.
Probiotics from ferments travel to the colon, the lower part of your digestive tract, where they promote diversity within your microbiome. A strong, diverse microbiome is critical to health and longevity, influencing everything from digestion and inflammation to cancer prevention. Caring for your microbiome is among the most important steps you can take to protect your long-term health.
A high-fibre, plant-rich diet is one key to a diverse microbiome. But if you’re ready to take it to the next level, fermented foods are the critical ingredient studied for a robust microbiome and thus long-lasting well-being. It may sound too good to be true, but science backs it up with study after study supporting the potential of ferments to prevent disease and promote longevity.

My philosophy is simple. We live in an environment that makes it incredibly hard to follow an evidence-based dietary pattern, an environment that in many ways sets us up for failure. Rather than waiting for this environment to change, or waiting to experience pain, I want to arm you with evidence-based solutions. This will help you better navigate the world in which we live and improve your chance of living a long, healthy life, allowing you to do more of whatever it is you love to do.
It took me a master’s in Nutrition and years of research to understand the science and how our food choices are shaped. However, I believe that this information should be easily accessible to everyone.
This isn’t about dietary labels or agendas. It’s a space to honour science, to honour learning as a community and to encourage progress over perfection. If you want to upgrade your health and tread more lightly on the planet, I am here to help you do that.
