The Gut-Healing Secrets of Korean Buddhist Nuns

Michelle Jungmin Bang explores the wisdom of Korean Buddhist nuns and their deep connection to the microbiome. In "Sun & Ssukgat", she shares how these nuns have long practiced Yak Sik Dong Won—the belief that food is medicine—through foraging, fermentation, and mindful eating. Their probiotic-rich diet naturally supports gut health, immunity, and overall well-being. Michelle’s own health struggles led her to embrace terrain-based living, rediscovering ancestral practices that nourish both body and spirit. She also highlights the importance of reducing food waste by using whole plants, including peels, to maximize nutrition and sustainability.
