Julie Cielo is more than just the fearless founder and CEO of Ferm Fatale. She is a driving force behind the fermented foods, gut wellness and non-Alcoholic beverage movements. From growing up fermenting with her Italian immigrant grandfather in rural Pennsylvania, to having recovered from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Julie discovered two simple truths – That the gut is the source of our health, and that the good bacteria in our gut has the power to cure. With these truths at heart, Julie has not only created the world’s first wildly-fermented zero-proof cocktail, but has also helped countless others discover the benefits of Living Clean and Drinking Dirty. Julie is a frequent speaker at beverage and fermented foods events nationwide and is a founding member of the Adult Non-Alcoholic Beverage Association. She is also a professional yoga therapist, transformational life coach, psychic medium, and host of the We Are the Soil podcast. Julie currently lives in Venice Beach, CA.
