Forget fire and brimstone - real purification happens in a lake of fiber and sulfur!
In this episode of Blasphemous Nutrition, Aimee takes you on a journey through the cruciferous kingdom: broccoli, cabbage, kale, Brussels sprouts, and their sulfurous brethren.
We’ll explore how these vegetables detoxify, rebuild, and literally change your biochemistry from the cellular level out. From the lake of sulforaphane to the gut’s microbial factory floor, you’ll learn how crucifers cool inflammation, balance hormones, and feed your microbiome.
Takeaways:
Discover how crucifers’ unique compounds - sulforaphane, indole-3-carbinol, and glucosinolates - burn away inflammation in a lake of sulfur and activate your body’s detox and repair systems.
Get key tips on how to make cruciferous veggies easier to digest so you can make peace with your microbiome and hacks for even the most finicky of supertasters to reduce the strong flavors of this veggie family.
Learn how cooking, chopping, and pairing crucifers with the right fats and acids can amplify their health benefits and make them taste better.
🥦 Your Daily Sacrament:
Uncover compelling reasons why one serving of crucifers a day can lower your risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer.
