Tina, Lauren, and Cassie dive into the raw (unpasteurised) milk debate, exploring why Lauren’s gut handles raw milk with ease while processed milk leaves her uncomfortable. They unpack the tight legal framework around raw milk in Australia, noting that only a single fatality has been linked to it in the past fifty years. From there, the conversation widens into holistic living: the hosts compare traditional food practices, the benefits of breastfeeding, and age-old home remedies with the realities of modern allopathic medicine. Along the way, they question pharmaceutical profit motives and argue for a return to natural, time-tested approaches to health.
Key Takeaways
- Raw vs processed milk: Raw milk’s natural enzymes seem to ease lactose intolerance for some people, yet strict Australian laws restrict its sale.
- Safety record: Despite regulatory fears, documented deaths from raw milk are extremely rare in Australia.
- Holistic mindset: The hosts champion traditional nutrition, breastfeeding, and simple home remedies as practical tools for everyday wellness.
- Scepticism of Big Pharma: Modern medicine saves lives, but the trio highlight how profit can overshadow patient wellbeing.
- Call to action: Listeners are encouraged to research food sources, support local producers, and make informed, balanced choices for better health.
Listen in for a candid chat that blends personal experience, historical insight, and a healthy dose of scepticism about the status quo.
