Elizabeth Bruckner, acupuncturist and author of The Homesteader Mindset, shares how traditional food skills transformed her health after decades as a vegetarian left her bedridden with chronic illness.

• Modern homesteading means creating sustainable living through intentional choices, regardless of where you live
• One teaspoon of homemade sauerkraut contains more probiotics than an entire bottle of supplements
• Fermented foods like kefir and garlic provide powerful gut healing benefits simple supplements can't match
• Both Elizabeth and Courtney recovered from serious health issues by reintroducing animal proteins after years of vegetarianism
• Traditional cooking methods help break down anti-nutrients and make foods more digestible
• Fermented dairy is often tolerable even for those who can't digest regular dairy products
• Homesteading creates resilience not just in physical health but also through community building
• Simple homemade alternatives like meat stock and fermented cream ice cream provide superior nutrition
• Finding "frivolous joy" through homesteading skills creates ripple effects throughout your life and community
