Kombucha: Miracle Elixir or Hipster Hoax?
01/15/25 • 30 min
Join Jimmy as he takes a deep dive into the fizzy world of kombucha, uncovering bold health claims, clever marketing tactics, and the science—or lack thereof—behind this trendy drink. Featuring special guest Dr. Claire Harper, an enthusiastic expert who breaks down myths, explains the microbiome, and teaches Jimmy (and listeners) how to separate fact from fiction. Together, they explore whether kombucha is the detox hero we’ve been led to believe or just overpriced soda in a fancy bottle. Equal parts humor and education, this episode is a sparkling look at skepticism and gut health.
