Dairy is one of the most controversial foods in modern nutrition. In this evidence-based deep dive, we examine whether humans are actually meant to consume cow’s milk, how dairy has been used throughout human history, what lactose intolerance really means, and why raw and traditionally produced dairy behaves very differently than modern processed milk.

Canola oil is widely marketed as a heart-healthy fat, yet its origins as an industrial lubricant and extreme processing raise serious concerns. This evidence-based breakdown explores how canola oil is made, why it lowers LDL cholesterol, what early research actually found, and whether oxidation—not cholesterol alone—may be the real driver of cardiovascular and metabolic disease.

Seed oils are often promoted as heart-healthy because they lower LDL cholesterol — but that’s only part of the story. This evidence-based breakdown explores how seed oils contribute to oxidation, toxic byproducts, and long-term metabolic stress, and why focusing on LDL alone may miss the real drivers of chronic disease.

Blue Zones are often used as proof that humans thrive on a plant-based diet — but the real story is far more nuanced. When you look at anthropology, traditional food prep, and the actual diets of long-lived cultures, you’ll find meat, dairy, and properly prepared plants all play a role. Here’s what the Blue Zones really ate — and what we should actually learn from them.

Eggs have been demonized for decades — blamed for high cholesterol, clogged arteries, and even “dangerous” compounds like TMAO. But the science tells a very different story. Here’s what decades of research (and updated dietary guidelines) actually say about eggs, cholesterol, saturated fat, and why egg yolks may be one of the most nutrient-dense foods you can eat.

Fasting isn’t a trend — it’s a biological rhythm built into human physiology. This article breaks down 10 science-backed benefits of fasting, including effects on inflammation, metabolism, brain health, gut function, and cellular repair, plus who should and shouldn’t fast.

A science-backed breakdown of the most common fasting myths — from starvation mode and muscle loss to blood sugar crashes and nutrient deficiencies — and what human physiology and research actually show.

A simple, science-informed post-workout smoothie built with kefir, dark cherries, mango, and a clean bone broth protein to support muscle recovery, gut health, and steady energy throughout the day.

Raw milk is one of the most debated “real food” topics online. In this video blog, I break down what the research and public health data actually show about risk, why some people tolerate raw dairy better than pasteurized milk, and how modern standards (like RAWMI-certified farms) are changing the safety conversation. If you’ve only heard fear-based headlines, this is the evidence-based context most people miss.

Modern nutrition focuses on what to eat—but rarely asks how humans evolved to eat. In this conversation with Dr. Bill Schindler, we explore ancestral food processing, fermentation, animal foods, and what modern diets have forgotten.
