Ep 3 - Sourdough vs Sour Faux

Think you’re eating sourdough? Think again. Most of what’s labeled “sourdough” in stores is more marketing than microbiome magic. In this episode, we’re calling out the frauds and breaking down what makes real sourdough actually worth the hype.

We get into the gut health benefits of true fermentation, why modern bread leaves so many people feeling bloated and tired, and how food companies are banking on our confusion. If your “sourdough” is made with commercial yeast and vinegar for tang, it’s not fooling us—and it shouldn’t be fooling you either.

We also talk about what to look for on labels, how to tell if it’s the real thing, and why going old-school with your bread might be the best thing you can do for your gut.
