Sauerkraut is the most underrated superfood.

Gut health, inflammation, immunity—Sauerkraut helps them all (with virtually no side effects).

The best part? It costs pennies per serving.

Here's what Sauerkraut can do for your body (& how to get the most out of it): 🧵

Sauerkraut is fermented cabbage.

Ancient cultures relied on fermentation to preserve food.

This process produces beneficial bacteria called “probiotics” AND

“postbiotics” which are helpful compounds created when probiotics eat fibers.

Together, they unlock loads of benefits…

1. Repair your gut

Millions suffer from "leaky gut"—holes in your gut lining, allowing toxins into your blood.

This can trigger bloating, fatigue, rashes, brain fog, and more.

Sauerkraut helps seal those holes and calm your gut.

That matters more than most people think…

When your gut is out of balance, it doesn’t just affect digestion.

It quietly disrupts your immune system, brain function, and cellular health.

Left unchecked, this can spiral into chronic illness.

And sauerkraut works better than most probiotic pills…

Most probiotics die in stomach acid before they reach your gut.

But sauerkraut gives you:

• Dozens of strains of bacteria
• Built-in fiber to feed them
• Postbiotics to guide your gut

And the science backs it up:

In a Stanford study, people who ate fiber alone saw no real gut changes.

But those who ate fiber with fermented foods?

• Gut bacteria improved
• Inflammation dropped
• Microbiome diversity increased

And if you want a truly resilient gut:

Start making homemade yogurt; it’s a huge health trend.

No sugar, no additives—just pure, natural yogurt.

That’s far better than store-bought yogurt.

And a fraction of the cost.

I created this easy-to-use machine specifically for this:

2. Lower inflammation

Chronic inflammation is the root of almost every major disease.

Fermented foods like sauerkraut lower key inflammation markers in the body.

But inflammation isn’t all it tackles…

3. Strengthen your immune system

Sauerkraut delivers a triple boost:

• Vitamin C fuels immune cells
• Iron supports oxygen delivery
• Lactic acid blocks harmful bacteria

And it goes beyond immunity, you’ll notice the impact on how you feel every day…

4. Clear brain fog and boost mood

If you feel tired for no reason, it might be your gut.

Your gut is closely linked to your brain. When it’s off, your mood & energy suffer too.

Sauerkraut helps reset that balance.

People report better sleep and more energy after adding it in.

Want extra support?

Berberine is one of the most popular supplements out there for gut health, weight management, and carb metabolism.

Dr. Gundry, the gut health expert, recommends it for many reasons to stay healthy, particularly as we age.

The problem with most berberine supplements is that they are poorly absorbed by your body.

I created ULTIMATE Berberine for max absorption so you can really take advantage of its benefits, without any junk or fillers:

5. Improve digestion

Sauerkraut helps you break down food and absorb nutrients better by:

• Activating enzymes
• Fixing your gut’s pH
• Supporting mineral absorption (like calcium & magnesium)

So how should you add sauerkraut to your diet?

Here’s how to start eating sauerkraut:

• Buy refrigerated, raw (unpasteurized) sauerkraut
• Add it to salads, eggs, bowls, or eat it straight
• Start with 1 tsp per day and build slowly

Let your gut ease into it.

Sauerkraut has been used for over 2,000 years—for good reason.

If you’re tired, inflamed, or dealing with brain fog…

You don’t need expensive treatments.

Start by fixing your gut. Probiotic-rich foods like sauerkraut are one of the easiest ways to begin.
