I love making a savory breakfast. Kimchi is the star of this one, and as a fermented food, it has so much to offer our health. Trauma causes stress and stress depletes the precious good bacteria in our gut which negatively affects our immune system, mood, weight, and so much more. Kimchi supports the growth of good gut bugs and is also rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, minerals, and prebiotics
