[Listen] Julie Smolyansky, CEO of Lifeway Foods, on Nourishment, Quarantine Kefir Recipes, and More
This week’s digital content is sponsored by our friends at Lifeway Foods, the leading US supplier of kefir.

Welcome to the Daily Distance, a new daily series from the creators of #WeGotGoals. In these short episodes, we’re bringing you one daily goal you can set for yourself during this chaotic time- one actionable thing you can do to move your body, connect with a friend, prioritize your mental health, get some work done, and practice a little bit of self-care.
Today, Kristen chats with a familiar podcast guest—Julie Smolyanksy, CEO of Lifeway Foods, whom you may remember from this past #WeGotGoals episode. Julie shares how she’s prioritizing her health during the pandemic, and she surprises Kristen with several unexpected uses for kefir in your quarantine recipes (one word: prosecco. Six words: not as weird as it sounds). She also shares her wealth of knowledge on the intersection between gut health and brain health, as well as what fascinating findings are being discovered in that area.
