Ep. 52 - Cheese, Pharma, and You

We ended up talking about two things that keep popping up lately: people are way more curious about health than they used to be, and they are also getting hit with a lot of flashy wellness noise that feels impossible to keep up with.
So we zoomed in on the basics that actually move the needle. We walked through a list of surprisingly nutrient dense foods, including organ meats, eggs, salmon, sardines, oysters, and what we actually do if we want the benefits without forcing ourselves to chew something we hate. Then we went down a rabbit hole on the cheese problem, including why some shredded cheese can mess with people who are gluten sensitive, how rennet works, and why we got skeptical when we learned how much cheese in the U.S. uses fermentation produced chymosin and who helped commercialize it.
We wrapped by coming back to something we keep saying over and over: the scale is not the whole story. If you care about health long term, body composition and muscle matter way more than obsessing over weight alone.
