Fermented Friends Are The Best Friends
Fermented Friends: Trim Healthy Mama's Pearl and Serene
In the world of health and wellness, there’s an ever-growing circle of friends who have found their way into my kitchen via the internet and cookbooks. I am always looking for inspiration and new recipes to make healthy, nourishing foods that feed my spirit and family. A few years ago, people started talking to me about two women who were called Trim Health Mama. I remember listening to their podcast and much to my surprise one of the sister's, Serene, had been drinking kefir a year longer than I had, twenty-four years, to be exact. That really intrigued me! Fast forward a few years, and we have become friends. The connection I feel with them is exciting and familiar and they actually feel like long lost friends.
I love their approach to health and wellness and weight loss, and I love that they embrace cultured foods full force! These two sisters have carved out a niche for themselves in the health and nutrition world, sharing a balanced, family-friendly approach to food that resonates with their followers. With their own stories of healing, transformation, and a passion for wholesome living, they have become trusted voices and inspiring friends to many, including those of us who love fermented foods.
Friends are like fermentation—sometimes unexpected, but always enriching
The Trim Healthy Mama Approach
The Trim Healthy Mama (THM) lifestyle is all about balance and sustainability. Serene and Pearl focus on creating meals that are not only delicious but also nutrient-dense, encouraging whole, unprocessed foods while minimizing refined carbs and sugars.
This flexibility allows followers to enjoy a wide variety of foods without the guilt of restrictive dieting. What I love most is their philosophy of enjoying food without deprivation—it’s about freedom and balance, making it easy to incorporate various traditions, including fermented foods.
Fermented Foods: A Perfect Pairing
Fermented foods fit naturally into the THM lifestyle. Packed with probiotics, prebiotics, and vibrant flavors, they elevate any meal plan by supporting gut health and digestion. From kefir to sauerkraut, yogurt, and sourdough bread, these foods bring vitality and balance to every bite.
My Favorite THM Products
I’ve been a fan of Trim Healthy Mama products long before I became an affiliate. Their high-quality offerings align perfectly with a wholesome lifestyle, and I use many of them daily. Here are a few of my favorites:
- Baobab Boost Powder: My new favorite prebiotic! Baobab Boost—a powerhouse superfood packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants! This ultra-low-net-carb powder is like a daily “multi” in real food form, bursting with citrusy-sherbet flavor. With 5x the fiber of oats, 8x the antioxidants of Acai, and more calcium than milk, Baobab Boost supports energy, weight loss, and overall health. Rich in vitamin C, it helps your body burn fat more efficiently, stabilize blood sugar, and strengthen your adrenals. I drink it every day!
- GuateMama Java Roasted Coffee: This coffee is grown high in the untouched mountains of Guatemala. Hand-tended by generations of dedicated families, these organic beans are shaded by natural flora, pollinated by wild bees, and nurtured by clean mountain rain. The high altitude ensures low mycotoxins, making it a gentle and antioxidant-rich choice for your daily brew.
- ESSENTIAL Powder: A powerful liposomal amino acid formula designed to support muscle health and boost metabolism, especially for those over 35. I rely on this whenever I’m focused on losing fat and building lean muscle. It’s a game-changer for maintaining strength and vitality, delivering one of the most crucial amino acids your body needs for these goals. I love the taste too!
- Glucomannan Fiber: Gluccie, short for Glucomannan, is the secret to making creamy, filling creations without extra calories. Gluccie helps tame snack cravings, supports steady blood sugar levels, and satisfies you. Always hanging out in the kitchen, she’s the ultimate sidekick for healthy, delicious smoothies, shakes, and puddings!
- De-Fatted Pressed Peanut Flour: This is a total game-changer for peanut butter lovers! Bursting with rich, nutty flavor but without the extra calories, it’s the perfect way to indulge guilt-free. I especially love adding it to smoothies for a boost of creamy richness. Plus, the protein in peanut butter doesn’t just taste amazing—it works wonders for satiety by stimulating key hormones like peptide YY and GLP-1. These hormones signal your brain to curb hunger and keep you feeling satisfied longer.
- Pristine Whey Protein: A clean, high-quality whey protein for smoothies and protein-packed meals. More protein helps me build muscle, supports digestion, and keeps blood sugar regulated.
- Optimized Collagen: A collagen supplement that supports skin, hair, joints, and muscle health. Collagen is really important as you age. It keeps your skin, bones, and ligaments strong and healthy.
