The Truth About Sourdough Bread

The Truth About Sourdough Bread

Author: Dr. Jockers February 15, 2024 Duration: 15:20

Do you want to know the truth about sourdough bread? Is it healthy, is it gluten-free, and is it good for your gut?

 

Who should or shouldn't eat sourdough bread? What are postbiotics and how do they benefit our health? Like with most things, there's a level of personalization when it comes to sourdough bread and our nutrition – there is no 'one size fits all' approach.

 

In today's short and sweet episode (or should that be sour?), Dr. Jockers is providing us with valuable insight on how gluten stimulates the protein zonulin, driving up inflammation in our body. He's also educating us on the origins of fermented bread and whether or not it's right for you.
