She discusses raw milk versus pasteurized milk, the myth of vitamin D–fortified milk, and why whole milk may be less disruptive than skim varieties. The episode also dives into calcium myths, bone health, goat milk’s superiority over cow milk, nut milks, and how kefir can replace your antidepressant medication.
