Have you ever wondered if sourdough bread is gluten-free — or if it could be a safe, healthy option for those with chronic health issues? You're not alone, and after years of asking the same questions, I’ve finally got some answers.

In today’s episode, I speak with Dr. Bill Schindler, an archaeologist and food scientist, about the surprising truth behind sourdough. We dive into how modern bread differs from traditional sourdough, why so much of what’s sold (and shared on social media) is misleading, and how fermentation can transform grains into a gut-friendly food.

Dr. Schindler, founder of the Modern Stone Age Kitchen, is on a mission to revive ancient food prep techniques that could help restore health. If you’ve been avoiding gluten or sourdough for years — or are just curious if it’s worth a try — this episode is for you.
