Kombucha Kamp Podcast by Hannah Ruhamah the Kombucha Mamma

If you're still dealing with fatigue, brain fog, or unexplained symptoms months after COVID… you're not alone—and you're not crazy. In this conversation with Dr. Evan Hirsch, we break down what's actually happening in the body with Long COVID and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome—and why so many people struggle to find real answers. More importantly, we explore a clear, structured 4-step process designed to help the body recover naturally by addressing root causes most approaches overlook.
In this interview, we cover:
* What Long COVID actually is (and how to know if you have it)
* Why it's become such a widespread and difficult-to-treat condition
* The EnergyMD 4-Step Method for restoring energy and function
* The "Toxic 5" and how hidden stressors impact recovery
* How to identify nervous system dysfunction (and why it matters)
* What percentage of people develop Long COVID—and what increases risk
* A real-world look at what recovery can actually feel like This isn't about quick fixes or surface-level symptom management.
It's about understanding the system underneath the symptoms—and giving the body what it needs to actually recover.

A nurse practitioner and wellness expert exploring the powerful connection between hormones, metabolism, and the gut microbiome during midlife transitions.
From the overlooked role of gut health in menopause symptoms to the deeper metabolic shifts happening beneath the surface, Cynthia Thurlow shares why this phase of life deserves a more informed and nuanced conversation.
Together, we explore how the gut influences inflammation, mood, energy, weight regulation, and hormonal balance and why so many women are struggling not because they're failing, but because their physiology is changing.
This conversation moves beyond surface-level wellness advice. It's about understanding the systems that shape resilience, longevity, and vitality during menopause and perimenopause. Cynthia also shares insights from her new book, The Menopause Gut, offering practical strategies for supporting the microbiome through nutrition, lifestyle, and intentional daily habits.
Because menopause isn't the end of vitality. It's a biological transition that deserves better tools, better science, and better support.
Tune in and explore the evolving relationship between gut health, hormones, and metabolic wellness.

A fermentation educator and craftsman exploring the deep connections between tradition, science, and place.
From his first encounter with koji's warm, chestnut-like aroma to his journey through miso, sake, and soy sauce, Robin shares how fermentation opens the door to a much bigger world one rooted in curiosity and lived experience.
Together, we explore what it really means to work with living cultures. Why live ferments are fundamentally different from processed versions. And why transparency, integrity, and respect for tradition matter now more than ever.
This conversation goes beyond technique. It's about culture, craft, and connection. Because fermentation isn't just something you do it's something you learn to understand.
And maybe the most important takeaway: Use what's around you. Learn from tradition. Create something true to your place.
That's how fermentation evolves without losing its roots. Tune in and explore the deeper side of fermentation.
