Episode 012: Fermenting is Fun with Tim McNeilly

“It sort of introduced me to the whole concept of food combining and the fact that what we are putting in our bodies actually affects how we operate and how we live and how we feel and how, you know, just everything. 

You know, you talk about the gut-brain link and. All our emotions and you know, a lot of hormones are produced in the gut and it's just like a matter of just taking small steps and working in a direction and not having any desired or specific outcome, but just trying stuff on and seeing if it works. If it works, great, keep going that way if it doesn't try something else Just start on your healing journey” -Tim McNeilly

In this episode, Tim helps to reeducate health-conscious people about fermenting, while all the way making it FUN. 
 
Over the last 10+ years, Tim has successfully been running fermenting workshops around Australia which cover 15-20 traditional ferments. Tim has run over 220 workshops and assisted around 2,000 people to discover the amazing health benefits that these fermented foods can provide, and he’s passionate about people taking charge of their health, and supports them to do so. 

Certain strains of bacteria are missing from our diet that are paramount to our health and wellbeing. Fermented foods support this reinoculation of the gut to support wellbeing. Start slowly and navigate a fermented food that is right for your body. 

Meads, tonics, sauerkrauts, kefir, villi – all part of Tim’s toolkit in his training on how to ferment and how this has taken him from craving foods that don’t support him versus foods that nourish him moving consciously to another place.  

Humans have evolved to support the bacteria, not the other way around.  The structure of modern medicine has lost its focus and its been sidetracked away from western or eastern medicine.
