Episode Summary:

Today on the Essentially You Podcast we are tackling a huge topic: Your gut health. I am joined by the fabulous Summer Bock to talk all about how to rebuild your gut microbiome naturally. The gut affects every aspect of your health and needs to be taken care of properly while being fed the correct ferments, probiotics, and bacteria.

Summer’s mission is to help people rebuild their microbiome naturally and reclaim their health for good. She has been trained as an herbalist, a master fermentationist and is the founder of Guts and Glory Apothecary. After studying microbiology and pre-med, Summer decided to take what she knew about micro-organisms and help people battle their health from the inside out. She is a 3-time Good Food award winner and is here to bring you some crucial and foundational information for your gut health.

Did you know that the gut is the most intimate way we connect with our environment? Our microbiome is like its own ecosystem working inside of you to help your immune system and create a protective layer around one of your bodies most important powerhouses.

Listen in to learn why we shouldn’t be so afraid of germs, how fermented foods could have huge impacts on your mood, weight and energy, and how to start trusting your body and your immune system.
