Can you keep eating dairy or sourdough bread during breast cancer recovery—or do they need to go?

In this episode, I walk you through the confusing world of food myths and metabolic health, exploring:

• The difference between A1 and A2 dairy

• What the research says about dairy and cancer risk

• Whether sourdough bread is truly blood sugar–friendly

• How gluten impacts gut health (and what zonulin has to do with it)

• And the truth behind the “toast your bread to reduce carbs” trend

 

Whether you love yogurt or can’t part with crusty sourdough, you’ll leave this episode with clarity—not guilt.
