My passion for loving had to begin with myself first!! Mind, body, and spirit!

One of my many passions!
I love to make home made everything as much as possible because:
1: I know what goes in it
2: It's fun
3: It's empowering
4: I love to learning
5: New friendships

So let's start with why I love to make raw kefir, kefir is the one of the highest stain content of probiotic out there.. It has over 31 strains of different probiotics.

Now the thing about probiotics is it a live microorganism it breathes it moves and grows. If you by kefir in the stores it's typically pasteurized in which the process kills the live organisms. It goes the same for any vitamin that is not refrigerated.8

That being said some of you may not know the benefits if probiotics, in a nut shell it helps to balance the help bacteria in our digestion. In essence it helps us to be able to digest more efficiently, and for women it has show to be highly effective with balancing out there flora, aiding keeping them PH balanced. In other words Minimizing yeast infection and bacteria infections.

So moving on all raw product contain all the enzymes and healthy bacteria required to digest. When we pasteurize homogenize we not only take out the nutrients but we kill all the "good bacteria and enzymes" which are required to digest them.

The great thing about kefir even if you have dairy issues the fermentation process you will not have digestion issues, actually you will probably have the opposite effect.

Now the great thing about making you own kefir you can also make so many great thing from it as I have shown in my pics, such as kefir cheese which I will be going over tomorrow and whey pure protein!

Have fun play!!!

Understanding Motility and Prokinetics in Gut Health

  Understanding Motility and Prokinetics in Gut Health Introduction to Gut Motility Gut motility refers to the movement of contents through the digestive tract, primarily driven by a coordinated series of muscle contractions. These contractions, known as peristalsis, propel feces through the colon and eventually out of the body. Optimal gut motility is essential for nutrient absorption, digestion, and waste elimination. When motility is impaired, it can lead to conditions such as constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction. This article unpacks motility, explores the concept of prokinetics, examines natural and dietary sources that stimulate gut motility, and reviews the current literature on this critical topic in gastroenterology. What Are Prokinetics? Prokinetics are substances—whether pharmaceutical, herbal, or dietary—that enhance gastrointestinal motility by stimulating the smooth muscles of the gut. By improving motility, they help ...

Unlocking the Potential of Akkermansia: A Gut Health Revolution

  Unlocking the Potential of Akkermansia: A Gut Health Revolution What Is the Microbiome? The human microbiome is a complex ecosystem of trillions of microorganisms living in and on our body, particularly within the gut. These microbes—comprising bacteria, fungi, viruses, and archaea—not only assist in digesting food but also play crucial roles in immunity, mood regulation, and overall health. Among these microscopic allies is Akkermansia muciniphila (often referred to as "Akkermansia"), a bacterium now gaining significant attention for its profound impact on gut health. What Is Akkermansia? Akkermansia muciniphila is a gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium discovered in 2004. It makes up roughly 3% of the total gut microbiota in healthy individuals and primarily resides in the mucus layer of the intestinal lining. Its unique trait lies in its ability to break down mucin—a key protein in the gut's mucus layer—making it essential for maintaining gut barrier function and pro...

How Stress Impacts the Microbiome, SIBO, and IMO

  How Stress Impacts the Microbiome, SIBO, and IMO Stress has long been recognized as a driver of imbalance in the human body, but its effects on the gut—and specifically on conditions like Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth (IMO)—are profound. Emerging research highlights the intricate relationship between stress, gut health, and these overgrowth conditions, revealing how the gut and brain communicate in ways that significantly influence our well-being. By understanding these mechanisms, we can develop holistic approaches to healing and achieving better gut health. The Role of Stress and the HPA Axis in Gut Health Stress triggers a cascade of physiological responses, largely mediated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. This central stress-response system regulates the release of cortisol, a hormone designed to help the body respond to stress. However, chronic stress can dysregulate this axis, leading to prolonged elevate...
