Functional Medicine For Moms | First-Time Parents Navigating... by Dr. Kelly Moline, PharmD & Landon Moline
Episode notes
Everyone is talking about sourdough bread lately… but is it actually good for your gut—or just another health trend?
In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth about sourdough from a functional medicine perspective 👇
We’re talking:
- What sourdough actually is (and what a starter really does)
- Yeast, bacteria, and the fermentation process (in simple terms)
- Prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics—what sourdough actually contains
- Why sourdough is easier to digest (and who may tolerate it better)
- The truth about whether sourdough is a “gut healing” food
- Blood sugar, gluten breakdown, and how to make it healthier
If you’ve been wondering whether sourdough deserves the hype at the farmer’s market… this episode is for you.
