Wellness Wednesday: The Surprising Ways Fermented Foods Are Good for You

If you've ever heard the gut called the "second brain," this week's Wellness Wednesday is worth a watch. Anchor Mary Strong sits down with Clark's Nutrition expert Starkie Sowers for a fun, hands-on look at fermented foods and why cultures around the world have been eating them for centuries.

From fizzy probiotic drinks to savory condiments and even a loaded hot dog you have to see to believe, Starkie makes the case that getting your probiotics doesn't have to mean swallowing a capsule. Watch to find out what Mary thought of her very first bite.

Wellness Wednesday is sponsored by Clark's Nutrition.
