Does anyone know where can we get kefir grains in New Zealand?
Thanks.
Mindblowing information. Thank you. Because I’ve never heard of any of this, it feels a little overwhelming, but hey, a year ago I’d never heard of chia seeds! Hopefully this will be the key for me as my body still insists on hanging on to my weight! Inspirational lady!
Hi Pixie,
Don’t worry if you can’t or don’t to do everything – just take on board this information and slowly add in little bits here and there where you can.
Yes I agree – Donna is amazing!
Thanks for the lovely feedback.

Thank you Den
I have made sauerkraut. Is it OK to warm it for eating?
Thanks
Hi Mary,
Heating the sauerkraut will kill off the healthy bacteria so perhaps try it at room temperature.
Kind regards

This was so much fun to watch / listen to! Donna is great … never thought I’d feel excited about fermenting food, lol. I agree with Jon that after my daily meditations I usually feel calm, cleansed and joyful … but then later in the day, usually after eating, all that can crash and fatigue and even headaches can set in. At first I thought it was just blood sugar, then food allergies, but now I see that I am really lacking in good digestion…yikes! But so good to have this info and also all the info here on the site. Thank you!!
Hi Susan,
Glad to hear that Donna’s ideas were so inspirational. Keep us posted on your journey – it sounds like you have already made quite a bit of ground!

Love this! I grew up with my grandmother’s fermented cabbage! Since starting probiotics six months ago, I am starting to experience short bursts of pure joy out of nowhere, as Donna describes! Off to buy some kefir granules and start down this new path of cultured food.
Awesome!
OMG!!! I thought this was wonderful. I, too will start with the kefir if I can figure out where to get it. Thanks so much. She was quite exciting to hear! Something else to add to my already overloaded mind right now. Just starting out on this journey, and all the info is so whelming!!!
Hi Jean,
Good luck on your journey! Just take it one step at a time and you will be ok.
Best Regards

Yes and guess what? I put it out there to spirit to get the digestive enzymes from you and I got some prexmas money from my parents. I got a month supply and the MP3 player with all the meditations on it so I can even listen if I’m at Woodford Folk Festival, at work in my break or at the beach. Top stuff.
Excellent!
Well this was a really interesting piece. I had never heard of any of this before so it’s another change to make. I might start with the keifer and build up. Thanks Jon she was lovely
That sound like a perfect place to start. Yes Donna’s really great.
