Is dairy triggering your asthma symptoms? In this episode, I break down the truth about dairy and asthma—from my personal journey growing up with asthma and food allergies, to how I transformed my health by radically changing the quality and frequency of the dairy I consume. Here’s what I’ve learned: Low-quality, non-organic dairy can spike inflammation—even if you’re not officially lactose intolerant. Inflammation = more congestion, more wheezing, and worse asthma performance. And yet, we’ve normalized these symptoms in our culture. After cutting back on cow dairy, prioritizing goat and sheep milk, and making my own plant-based milks, I’ve seen massive improvements in my breathing, energy, and blood test results. I even cut dairy completely 1–2 weeks before every ultra race. In this episode, I’ll walk you through the research-backed reasons behind these changes, how you can test your own response to dairy, and simple swaps that won’t wreck your taste buds.
