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.
