Kulture, Kups & Kommunity — What’s New at Fettle

Fermented foods, coffee rituals, and a gentler pace of shopping—this week’s update is full of culture in every sense. From kraut to kombucha, here’s what we shared (and brewed) at Fettle.

Kombucha, Kraut & Gut-Loving Culture

Kombucha, Kraut & Gut-Loving Culture
Led by the brilliant Jane Moran, our latest session explored fermented foods and why they matter — not just for digestion, but for brain health, immunity, skin, mood, and even long-term resilience.

Here are just a few of the key takeaways from today:

🦠 Your gut microbiome thrives on variety
The more plant foods, fibre, and fermented foods you eat, the more diverse and resilient your gut flora becomes. Aim for 30+ different plant foods each week to keep your gut ecosystem strong and supportive.

💤 Sleep and stress matter just as much as food
High stress and poor sleep can harm the balance of your microbiome, leading to issues like bloating, fatigue, and brain fog. Taking care of your nervous system is a key part of gut health — think deep breaths, early nights, and quiet time.

💊 Probiotics can help, especially during high-stress times
While fermented foods are a great starting point, probiotic supplements like Terranova Microflora Complex can be especially useful after antibiotics, illness, travel, or during times of change. The key is consistency — little and often works best.

🧠 Gut health affects everything from mood to energy
Jane touched on how fermented foods may support cellular energy through the NAD pathway, improve neurotransmitter production (like serotonin), and even support skin health. The gut truly is your body’s second brain — and feeding it well helps everything else work better.
