Have you fallen for the gut "reset" after a heavy weekend?

Or decided to start the new year with a detox plan?

The internet 🌐 is full of viral detox plans that aim to reset your system and reverse all the damage from heavy drinking, lack of sleep, carby junk foods and all that a good time consists of.

But is a reset really what we need?

The short answer is No.
Turns out the Gut is super efficient and resilient. It often finds its way back after a weekend of junk eating. So that's the good news. Within 48hours of a bad weekend, the gut microbes reset on their own - fighting off the hangover.

But the long answer is all the bloating, constipation, break outs and volatile blood spikes are a sign of long term buildup.

So what's more important is your daily intake of nutrients and antioxidants. The long term project is where the cure lies.
Focus on the long game and build sustainable, repeatable habits - much more effective for a healthy gut.

What are the key 🗝️ ways to do this?

- Diet is key. Eat more fibre, about 70% of your diet should be plant based and include fermented foods.

- Relax and ease the mind. Your brain constantly sends signals to the microbiome, meditation strongly influenced the gut during periods of disruption

- Action is needed post any antibiotic treatment. Probiotics are super key during this period.

We've got much more coming on the gut-brain exercises and diet building plans.

What are your go-to fixes for the vacation belly?

Pumpkins, avocados & broccoli all have a special place in our hearts.

We need about 25gm of fibre a day, while most of us don't even make it close. Try measuring your daily intake to see where you lie on the gut health chart!

Fibre plays a very key role in our gut mobility.

High fibre is usually linked to digestive problems, but that is a key sign of a poorly functioning gut!

Fibre rich natural foods help curb our appetite, increase the good bacteria in our guys & in turn help improve immunity, blood sugar level balance and weight loss! 🏋️🏋️

Swipe to see some foods that are a must in the fibre rich diet!

Do you incorporate enough fibre in your daily intake? Comment below to tell us your views!

Don't let Diwali celebrations ruin your gut health! 🎉


We all love the late nights, get-togethers, and delicious food during the festive season, but they can often leave us with unpleasant morning hangovers. But did you know that hangovers aren't just about alcohol? They are also influenced by the food we eat, the timing of our meals, and the quality of our sleep.
Do not fear though, we've got some festive health hacks to help you stay on track.

1. Get Quality Sleep 🛌

Focus on quality over quantity. Keep a bedtime routine, like dimming the lights and avoiding screens, to improve your sleep.

2. Skip Sugary Mixers

Watch out for sugary sodas and syrups used as mixers. They can harm your gut health. Choose healthier options like fermented drinks or water.

3. Eat Early

Instead of constant snacking and mixing foods, have an early dinner before the parties start. This can prevent digestive issues from overeating and mixing food with liquids.

4. Harness the Power of Probiotics

Increasing your daily intake of good bacteria is a super way to maintain the balance. Consider increasing naturally fermented foods into your diet, such as sauerkraut, kimchi, fermented chutneys, kombucha, and ginger beer.

5. Stay Hydrated with Vitamins 💧

Water is always essential, but did you know that vitamin C can be a superpower for your digestion? It helps fight off inflammation and can even kick start your bowel movement. Just start with a small dose of pure vitamin C powder! 🍊

6. Keep Up with Your Workouts 💪

Don't let the festivities derail your fitness routine. Staying on track with regular workouts keeps your digestive system active, your blood flowing, and your gut microbes thriving. 🏋️‍♀️

7. Take Regular Breathers 🧘‍♀️

Incorporate breathing exercises into your day to calm your mind, relax your body, and bring balance to your gut. It's all about finding that inner peace amid the celebrations! ✨

Only 2.65g of Khand (Unrefined)

Choose your Brew Wisely ♥️

The Fermenter's Ginger Beer 🍻

Spiced to Perfection, Balanced by the Citrusy Juices of Locally Grown Kaffir Lime.

What makes the Ginger Beer different from a Ginger Ale?

In Simple words, the Ginger Beer is a Naturally Carbonated Fermented Brew, where the Microbes eat up the Sugars & create a Natural Fizz.

Much stronger in its Ginger Kick than a Ginger Ale, the Live Microbes packed in the Ginger Beer make it super anti-inflammatory & a flavor-bomb.

A Ginger Ale is a Ginger-Flavoured Water, carbonated artificially to create a sweet, fizzy drink.

We're often asked if Kombucha can be served to kids

While there are only traces of alcohol in anything fermented (including coffee, chocolates and the likes), Caffeine is one factor to account for as well.

Kombucha and Koffucha carry 1/3rd the caffiene content you find in regular Tea and Coffee. However, there are many caffiene free options to pick from too!

To name a few
• Beetkvass is rich in antioxidants & develops a liking for root veggies in your child

• Sauerkraut and Kimchi carry innate immunity boosting nutrients

• Kefir & Ginger Beer develop anti-inflammatory properties right from the start

Our Gut Microbiome starts forming as soon as we are born, absorbing all the microbes in this new world around us.

This microbiome is proven to develop our tastebuds, playing a huge role in what flavours we like as adults.
Processed foods carry highly processed salt & sweetness that make us addicted to insulin spikes & hormonal imbalances.

Pre-birth, a child is protected by the mother's womb, untouched by the microbial life outside.

Upon birth the good and the bad bacteria come in contact with your system - helping form our innate immune system.
Without this we would forever be susceptible to diseases and illnesses.

(C-section births have a higher need for interacting with good bacteria)

So we have a lot to thank our microbes for.

As a parent, if we understand the role of the microbes, we can incorporate more of the good bacteria and ensure a long and happy life for our kids.

Fermented foods carry these good bacteria in a natural, diversity-rich form. Even small interactions with these good foods can set us up for a lifetime of
* Enjoying healthy, natural foods
* A balanced Hormonal system
* Lesser cravings
* Prevention of early onset of diseases.

Happy to take on more questions on this ☺️

We're often asked what makes our brews different from other kombuchas & aerated drinks.

The simple answer is the small batch, handcrafted, natural + low sugar approach.

To support this, only natural cane sugar goes into these batches, and that gets all eaten up by the microbes.

The fruits added are whole, natural & only there to add the fibre and flavour.

Simple. Zero Preservatives. Naturally aerated.

And the numbers confirm this
Per 100g you get
• 2.7g of *Sugar* • 2.97g of Carbs
• 0.25g of Protein
•13 kcal of Energy & Zero Fat.

Makes us happy that our fellows keep up the good work of combining taste with health.

Cold Winter Day & No Sun in sight?

Pushing yourself to move even when the weather calls for a longer snooze becomes more necessary on such gloomy days.

The concept of "Good Stress" asks for doing some uncomfortable things in the now, so you can keep reaping the benefits later (short-term & long-term).

When you get off the couch & go listen to the birdies outside, you help your blood flow up to the braincells, you allow you optical flow to lighten the mood & you get a longer lasting sense of things being alright (safe).

That positive stress can go a long way in getting you through some tough times.
Plus, your body remembers your choices - so the next time, it'll be that much easier to make a "healthy" choice.
