Last month a three week trial, consume three different fermented foods each day, note the effects on mood, hunger, energy levels.
I noticed no difference.
Saturday 1 November, reset, run the trial again
Kicked off with kimchi pancake at Little Korea. For breakfast, muesli, Greek yoghurt, fresh fruit.
No, it does not make a lot of sense. How can it be week four of a three week trial. I decided to continue.
For three weeks, each day, add to diet, three different fermented foods. Note for each day, mood, energy, hunger.
Day one of the three week trial Wednesday 1 October 2025. Date chosen, day of the month tallies with day one of the trial.
I’ve not noted each day, thus is a summary for the third week.
Breakfast, muesli with fresh seasonal fruit, Greek yogurt, kefir Followed by peanut butter on corn biscuits or sourdough toast.
Day one, kimchi pancake at Little Korea kicked off the trial.
Tried in the third week, making kimchi pancake. Disaster. Went wrong, don’t know why. Tried again a couple of days later. Better, but not as good as my first two attempts.
A couple of times, kimchi pancake at Little Korea.
Each day, yogurt, kefir, kimchi kombucha, not each one every day. Not tried sauerkraut. Also cheese, wine, coffee, chocolate, sourdough bread.
Before the trial, dizziness, pain across the shoulder. Dizziness not last week, the week before, dizziness worsened, resulting on Friday a visit to A&E. Blood tests and brain scans, all clear, but none the wiser the cause.
Dizziness eased, only to then return worse. Losing sense of balance.
Over the weekend, very poorly, maybe a Coronavirus variant, many of the symptoms.
I posed for the previous three weeks, would these symptoms be worse if not taking three fermented foods a day? Moot point, impossible to know. I can partially answer. Following a visit to A&E a couple of weeks ago, MRI brain scan and blood tests, and follow up appointment with a doctor, the dizziness may be caused by microscopic crystals rattling around in my ear, may last for weeks, but should eventually subsidise.
I will reset the beginning of November.
