EP06: Nature’s Nourishment - Exploring the Health Benefits of Raw Milk with Edwin Shank and Tommy Wheatley

In this fascinating episode, we sit down with Edwin Shank from The Family Cow and Tommy Wheatley from Raw Milk & Deadlifts to discuss all things raw milk - the health benefits, the enzymes and nutrients, the safety and risks, what to do if you don't have access to raw milk, and so much more!
If you have any questions about raw milk and whether or not you should be including it in your diet, this is an excellent podcast to listen to. We love raw milk and see it as an amazing, nourishing food God designed for us. We also know that sometimes people can't handle any type of milk and need to work on gut-healing before enjoying this wholesome food - if this is you, send us an email at [email protected] to see if there are ways we can help you on your healing journey.
