225: Nature’s Powerful Alchemy: Austin Durant’s Fearless Fermentation

This week, we welcome Austin Durant, author of 'Fearless Fermenting' and founder of the Fermenters Club. Austin shares his journey into the world of fermentation, beginning with a humble batch of sauerkraut that sparked his passion. The conversation dives into the importance of fermentation from a superfood and ancestral eating perspective and touches on Austin's educational workshops and book.

This episode explores the alchemical, symbiotic, and fractal nature of fermentation and its broader implications. Austin discusses his upcoming book tour and an exciting hands-on sourdough bread workshop, hosted at Future Generations Clinic of Chiropractic on Saturday November 23rd. Notably, the discussion highlights the importance of community, challenging mainstream narratives, and envisioning a healthier future through fermentation.
