Digest This: Digestive Health Harder to Maintain Than Financial Health "Between 60 and 70 million Americans experience some sort of digestive health problem. The issue may be that Americans haven't "digested" the ways in which prebiotics and probiotics could benefit them." Truly CulturedTM is a first, a full spectrum feast on culturing. This ground breaking treasury digests and capsules the essence and mystery as well as the how-to's and benefits of our most ancient, vital and treasured foods. It looks at the world of fermentation in a new light using a wider perspective. It is a secret missing link; a key to real eating enjoyment, health and longevity.

Natural Solutions Magazine features NLB's Truly Cultured
Truly Cultured and quotes from author, Nancy Lee Bentley, are spotlighted in the "Fermented Food Fest" article by Gretchen Roberts in the upcoming August special issue of Natural Solutions Magazine, (formerly Alternative Medicine). Along with some basic and maindish recipes, the article includes Nancy classics like "Even better: make your own. Culturing is easier than you might think," says Bentley....many fermented foods like sauerkraut, yogurt, kefir and kombucha tea are simple and convenient to make at home...cost a fraction of the amount you can spend each month of good probiotic pills. People are intimidated by the idea of culturing their own food," says Bentley, "but most fermenting is really about waiting. The process takes care of itself."
We've seen the trend developing, but after last week's appearance and Truly Cultured fundraiser for BioVision2020 at Chicago Greenfest, it's getting more and more obvious that people are really starting to get the message about the importance of live, lacto-fermented cultured foods. There was such a positive response to the subject, the book and the author at BioVision's Greenfest booth, we were surprised and delighted at how many people are already starting to embrace this "real" health insurance.
After all, the writing's on the wall, mirrored in massive degenerative disease, antibiotic resistance in the body and pesticide resistance in the soil, we've got to get a handle on, get control, rebalance and reestablish our inner AND our outer ecology. Where does it start? Right in our guts. You may not be able to impact the environment in ways that you can see immediately, but you CAN get your own internal environment and house in order by making, buying and consuming these delicious, live cultured fermented foods. My goal, through continually developing more and more ways -- like ebooks, teleclasses, seminars and coaching -- is to keep on getting the message out, "We CAN be and stay healthy simply, cheaply, and easily with these humble, traditional foods, especially if we do it together with our friends and family in our own local food circles.
Spring is Sprung and Truly Cultured is Stepping Out
After amazingly successful events and response to the book and the author in Toledo, sponsored by The Toledo Botanical Gardens and Slow Food Maumee Valley including a warm welcome and booksigning at Claudia's Natural Market, the team heads south to Cincinnati for its first outdoor event of the season. Now that the weather is finally hinting that it's fully committed to Spring, Truly Cultured is Stepping Out to appear at the Appalachian Festival near Cincinnati. We are excited to be able to take this valuable and timely information about ways to revive healthy eating, traditional style, to just regular folk, another sign that people are waking up to the wisdom of once again embracing live, vital organic and locally produced, fermented and cultured foods and working with others in circles to make it happen. Revival!
