![<p>I’m excited to have Hannah on the show today. Hannah Wastyk is a Stanford PhD candidate and fermented food researcher who will share a little more about what are fermented foods, why are people so obsessed with them, and why might they be good for you to include in your diet? I personally love eating fermented foods and have a huge interest in nutrition and how it relates to health. I’m super excited to bring someone very knowledgeable in this space to share our thoughts about microbiomes and tasty foods.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>To start off, can you share with the listeners a little bit about yourself and your interest in fermented foods?</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>[[We’ll be going over the following topics:]] </p>
<p> - What are fermented foods?</p>
<p> - What are the most popular fermented foods?</p>
<p> - Why are they so beneficial?</p>
<p> - Can you make fermented foods on your own?</p>
<p> - Are there any safety issues with fermented foods?</p>
<p> - How did you get into fermented foods?</p>
<p> - What is your fermented food research about?</p>
<p> - What does your company do?</p>
<p> - Besides fermented food, what other hobbies do you have?</p>
<p> - Wrapping up are there any last things you want to share? </p>
<p> - Where can people find more about you?</p>

<p>Thanks for coming on the show today.</p>
