0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Wellness Mama podcast. I'm Katie from Wellnesswama.com and I am back for
0:05.9	round two with my friend Hannah Ruhamana Krum, who is the author of the big book of kombucha
0:11.6	and the founder of kombucha camp, both with a K. And in this episode, we talk about how kombucha
0:17.0	connects us to ancient wisdom, helps us with hormone balance, and creates microbial
0:21.5	magic. And Hannah is the expert on this topic. She's affectionately known as the kombucha
0:27.1	mama, and she has been brewing kombucha for a very long time, creating fermentation kits so that
0:32.5	other people can as well, and educating people about the many, many benefits of fermentation and how we have lost
0:39.3	some of these in our modern lifestyle that doesn't rely as heavily on fermentation for food
0:43.7	preservation anymore. And I think after this episode, you will have a much deeper understanding
0:48.7	of the beauty of these products and how to make them at home for pennies on the dollar.

1:12.1	And in this episode, I want to go even deeper and talk about how kombucha and really all ferments can connect us with ancient wisdom, can help our hormone balance and create
1:17.7	microbial magic in our lives. I know that there's so much we got to start talking about
1:22.2	in the first episode. And you call yourself a farmer of microbes, which I love. Can you explain what you mean by that and how you view fermentation as a sacred practice?
1:32.8	Absolutely. You know, we think of farming as something that happens in the dirt and what lives in the dirt? Well, microbes do, of course. So in a way, I think all farmers are bacteria farmers, assuming they have that consciousness about it. And I would say
1:45.6	what's really exciting about living in these times is the resurgence of that ancient wisdom
1:50.7	through practices like regenerative farming and things like that and really understanding how
