Have you seen that viral “healthy Coke” recipe with vinegar and sparkling water? Fun fact — it actually started right here on my YouTube channel back in 2018.

In this episode, I’ll share my favorite sugar-free Coke variations — from cherry to vanilla and more — that both your taste buds (and your gut buddies) will love.

And since we’re in the kitchen, I’ll show you how to make okra so good your family will fight over it (without the dreaded slime). You’ll discover why this “miracle food” helps your gut buddies thrive while blocking harmful lectins.

Plus, I’ll reveal a little-known lectin-free grain that’s so satisfying, you won’t even miss the others that can wreck your gut.

On this episode, you’ll learn:
