Hannah Crum joined us today from KombuchaKamp.com. What a fun show this was. It’s was such a joy to speak with someone who is as passionate about their work as I am. Kate really enjoyed her too.

Hannah came on the show to talk about the importance of eating bacteria rich foods. She’s a huge fan of making kefir, sauerkraut but she’s most passionate about brewing and teaching people how to ferment kombucha.

She shared with Kate and I how she got started making this wonderful drink. She now runs an entire business making videos, selling products like continuous brew kits, scobys (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast), teas and warming strips and so much more. She also works with people one on one and she also runs a thriving community on her website to give support on making this amazing beverage.

She gives some wonderful tips on how to make kombucha fizzy with lots of carbonation and bubbles. What fruits tends to produce the most amount of fizz. She also talks about why bacteria is so important.

In my opinion, one of the reasons why people often come down with colds, skin rashes, flus, and even major diseases is because they don’t have enough beneficial micro flora in their intestines.

The seat of our immune system (some say as much as 80%!) is the bacteria in our guts. Have a wide variety of healthy microbes in our intestinal tract not only provides us with a way to fight off sickness and disease but these little critters actually digest our food for us too.

What the metabolize is what gets passed through the villi on the inside of our colon walls that actually passes into our blood stream. So not having good bacteria in our bodies is going to be very harmful to us in the long term.

These bacteria are absolutely critical for life to exist on this planet. The problem is that we as a culture eat foods that feed bad bacteria (think: sugar, white flour, pastas, breads etc) and the delicate balance becomes out of harmony and all kinds of health problems arise as a result.

So it’s critical you eat lots of fermented foods like sauerkraut, kombucha, kefir (water and milk), miso and other types of fermented vegetables.

Drinking kombucha ever single day can literally change your life. It is THAT powerful of a food. So make sure to start small and slowly over time increase your dose daily. It will clean you out!

Guest Info:

I’m Hannah Crum, The Kombucha Mamma. Since 2004 I have been brewing Kombucha and educating others about its benefits. What began as hobby has evolved into my passion and lifestyle. From homebrew hobbiest, to educator, to Master Brewer, I have grown my business organically as my experience has deepened. I am committed to providing the most accurate and up-to-date information to Kombucha lovers and homebrewers at any stage in their experience.

I have taught Kombucha making classes to all size groups, from individuals to workshops of 100+, all over the country for nearly 8 years, often in conjunction with wonderful organizations such as The Weston A. Price Foundation, The Real Food Festivals, Project Butterfly, Fun with Fermentation and the Santa Monica Co-Opportunity Speaker Series. My how-to videos have piled up +100,000′s of views and Kombucha Kamp was featured on “What’s Brewing?” hosted by Jody Rudman on the Veria Network.

In addition to teaching, I install large-scale Kombucha set-ups and am the Master Brewer for numerous restaurants and shops in the Los Angeles area, including Leaf Organics in Culver City and Fresh Bites in West Hollywood. My husband and I write about the Kombucha business for BevNet.com and Beverage Spectrum Magazine and other publications featuring our work include Elephant Journal and Vital Juice.
