Today I made cultured butter! 🧈 I fermented cream using a well studied microbe called l.gasseri at 43 degrees for 36 hours, then churned it into butter (and butter milk)! Fun, delicious and a functional probiotic! ✨ @drmercola @drdavisinfinitehealth #gasseri #culturedbutter by @daveblake_

🧪 Fermenting with Bacillus coagulans
Inspired by Dr. William Davis’s @drdavisinfinitehealth gut-healing yogurt approach, I took a gamble fermenting Best of the Bone @bestofthebone collagen powder PROBIOTIC —yep, the one with B. coagulans spores—and it worked!

⚗️ Fermented with UHT A2 milk + inulin at 46°C for 36 hours.
🧁 Result: creamy, spoonable, tangy, and super digestible. I’ve started slow—1–2 tbsp daily—to track gut, energy, and mood responses.

Why B. coagulans? It’s not just a hype bug:

✔️ Clinically shown to reduce gas and bloating (Lahtinen et al., 2023)
✔️ Helps regulate gut microbiota and digestion (Kumar et al., 2019)
✔️ Supports mood and gut-brain axis (Bagga et al., 2018)
✔️ Safe, spore-forming, and survives stomach acid like a boss

If you’re into functional ferments, this might be the simplest way to DIY a microbiome upgrade—no starter needed.

👨‍🍳 Cooking Experiment: Can I sous vide without plastic? Spoiler: Yes, and it was meltingly good.

I slow-cooked this grassfed Brahman hump for 19 hours at 80°C—sous vide confit-style—in duck fat using mason jars, not plastic bags.

Sous vide (French for “under vacuum”) is all about precision cooking in a water bath to get super tender results. Normally it’s done in plastic bags, but I wanted to skip the plastics and test a more sustainable, low-tox version.

Confit means cooking slowly in fat—usually duck or goose fat—preserving flavour and tenderness. I combined both methods and let time + fat do the magic.

The result? Juicy, fall-apart Brahman beef that tastes like it’s been kissed by a campfire and a French grandmother.
