Friends, let me introduce you to my brand new Digital Recipe book, Plant-Based Femettes.

15. Must-Have Recipes that will take your fermented food game to the next level, nourishing

your microbiome and saving you dollars on your grocery bill at the same time.

Why eat fermented foods? Well, research shows that regular consumption of fermented foods

lowers inflammation in the body. The type of inflammation that underpins and exacerbates

chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's dementia. Inside Plant-Based

Femettes is 15 recipes, including my very own soy yogurt and soy labne. A delicious

cold brew, kefir smoothie, and my baked miso egg plant and soba noodle salad. The book

also includes science supporting the consumption of fermented foods and a handful of frequently

asked questions such as do fermented foods contain alcohol and what's the difference

between pickled and fermented foods. To support your gut, this show and my wonderful

team here at the proof, get your copy of Plant-Based Femettes at theproof.com-fordslash-femettes.

climate change. But then also it's just a massive loss loss of biodiversity, especially

these tropical ecosystems are really, really rich in a way to variety of beautiful life

and we're basically just destroying it. What they're really like feel-confinement to me

is just that once it's gone, it's gone and you're never going to get it back. Many of the

environmental changes you can reverse or reduce in some way, but when it comes to species,

once you drive it, it's species to extinction, that's it and gone forever.
