Fermentation isn’t just a kitchen experiment, it’s a living, ancient practice that reconnects us to nature, microbes, and our own intuition.
In this episode, I sit down with Austin Durant, founder of Fermenters Club and author of Fearless Fermenting, to explore why fermentation is one of the most accessible, transformative, and misunderstood tools for gut health and holistic wellness.
We talk about overcoming fear in the kitchen, how microbes are allies, not enemies, and why fermented foods are essential in a world of sterilised, processed diets. Austin also shares the story of his first homemade sauerkraut, the biggest beginner mistakes, and his favourite ferments for anyone starting out.
If you’re looking to improve your digestion, strengthen your immune system, and build confidence in your own food preparation, this episode is your invitation to start fermenting, fearlessly.
