Happy Gut Pro now produces its own kefir grains and offers DIY kits, flavor infusions, and ready-to-drink beverages that support microbiome wellness.

With guidance from a microbiologist, Leeza created the Happy Gut Method, a simple, approachable system that makes fermentation accessible for all experience levels.
