    I’ve had a rough couple of days. As I was typing my previous post, I was falling asleep at the keyboard. Some days, I feel like I am getting better, so much better in fact, that I imagine I’m over… Continue reading

  • Microbes and Me

    I’ve been mulling over my gut microbiology for the last month. It is amazing what a difference it has made to eat a variety of live cultures in fermented foods. My favorite, so far, is fermented cabbage (aka sauerkraut). The… Continue reading
