Colostrum & Health with Freddie Rostand

Episode 214

Released: July 10, 2025

The Story

Freddie Rostand's wife Liz has MS and was declining rapidly - could barely walk ¾ mile before collapse. Traditional medicine offered little hope, according to Freddie. An Australian journalist friend shared how bovine colostrum got his wheelchair-bound wife walking again. Within weeks, Liz could walk miles and her life transformed.

What is Colostrum?

• First milk produced after birth, known as "liquid gold"
• Contains 400+ bioactive ingredients
• Acts like an "operating system" for biological processes
• Used for 5,000+ years in traditional medicine
• Farmers have always known its importance - calves die without it

The Science

Gut Health Foundation: 80% of immune system is in the gut. Modern processed foods damage gut lining, causing "leaky gut" and autoimmune disorders.

How Colostrum Works: Contains peptides that allegedly regulate immune system's three stages:

1. Activate immune response
2. Target specific threats
3. Turn off when job done (critical - autoimmune disorders happen when this fails)

Key Benefits, according to Freddie

• Autoimmune conditions: Resets immune system, stops body attacking itself
• Gut health: Repairs damaged gut lining
• Anti-aging: Boosts stem cells, repairs DNA/RNA, supports thymus gland
• Athletic performance: Used by elite athletes (Olympic-approved)
• Mood & brain: Stimulates feel-good chemicals and brain growth factors

Product Details

• Source: Bovine colostrum (surplus only - calves get what they need)
• Processing: Freeze-dried to preserve bioactive compounds
• Form: Capsules (better gut penetration than powder)
• Dosage: 2 capsules daily
• Cost: ~£55 for 2 months (less than £1/day)

Company: IG Bioscience

• IG Bioscience was founded by Freddie & Liz 
• Growth through word of mouth
• Also make a pet version: "Run Free" by Bella's Apothecary

Key Takeaways

• Modern food is damaging our guts and immune systems
• Colostrum offers natural way to reset and maintain health
• Continuous use recommended (aging is ongoing process)
• Extensive research backing (hundreds of thousands of studies)
• Safe for all ages, including babies (add to formula)

Bottom Line: Ancient wisdom backed by modern science - colostrum addresses fundamental biological processes rather than just treating symptoms.
