Traditional cheesemakers respect the process of cheesemaking. They honor the environment, the animal, its milk and traditional techniques – all of which lead to delicious, nutritious cheese. Industrial cheesemaking, in stark contrast, emphasizes sterile conditions, uniformity, and artificial inputs (including GMO-derived rennet). The cheese that results from the conventional approach is consistent... but misses a lot in terms of flavor profile and nutrients.
 
Trevor Warmedahl is a cheesemaker, fermentation educator and the author of Cheese Trekking. Today, he takes us on a cheese adventure, as we gain insight on traditional, artisanal cheesemaking. He gives us pause about what is in our fridge and where it comes from.
 
Trevor has trekked all over the world, working alongside artisanal cheesemakers, so he understands and shares the importance of working with (instead of against) microbes and nature. He describes cheeses you may have never heard of, along with unique approaches to making them. Trevor also helps us take stock of what has been lost in our modern approach to cheesemaking.

Minerals are the spark plugs of the body. They are essential for proper digestion, hormone function and clear thinking. If you don't have adequate minerals, you may struggle with fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and more.
Nina-Marie Rueda, a naturopathic doctor who focuses on perinatal and pediatric health, offers today a quick guide for identifying and addressing mineral deficiencies.
She goes over the "four lows" – common issues that arise when our bodies are low on calcium, sodium, potassium or magnesium. She explains what specific foods can address these deficiencies, like bananas for magnesium and clams and coconut water for potassium. She shares the number one mineral that is not addressed well by most prenatal vitamins. And she even offers a medicinal herbal tea recipe that supports women in the perinatal stage and every stage.
