New Podcast Launches With Focus On Nutritious Eating And The Benefits Of A Dairy-Free Lifestyle
Switch4Good Expands Its Reach With New Series Featuring Athletes, Doctors, Health Experts and Prominent Chefs
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the National Institutes of Health, more than 65 percent of all humans are cow's milk intolerant. This urgent public health crisis impacts an estimated 30-50 million Americans and has been linked to serious health hazards including cancer, diabetes, obesity, and other chronic diseases. Additionally, the International Food Information Council Foundation reported more than half of Americans feel figuring out their income taxes is easier than knowing what they should and shouldn't eat to be healthier. A new podcast series launched on February 11, 2019 to examine the ties between dairy and unhealthy eating, and to empower its listeners to adopt healthy, plant-based lifestyles.
The Switch4Good Podcast series is co-hosted by Dotsie Bausch, Olympic silver medalist, and Alexandra Paul, a former model, activist, and actress on Baywatch for five years, who recently launched a new practice as a health coach. Switch4Good, which Bausch formally launched in 2018, is a non-profit coalition of athletes, doctors, and coaches who advocate for the benefits of a dairy-free diet and share the often unreported science proving the health dangers of dairy products.
"Going dairy free is a life-affirming choice. It is healthier for our body, mind and soul. It is kinder to animals, humans and the earth's limited resources," said Dotsie Bausch. "By sharing our personal stories and the advice of healthy eating experts, we will continue to show that dairy is NOT a health food and offer help to those struggling with eating disorders. This podcast series is just one more step in our efforts to squash the lies and marketing gimmicks perpetuated by the dairy industry."
The podcast features Dotsie's personal revelations and life experiences as she conquered her own challenges with healthy eating to become a world-renowned, plant-based athlete. Alexandra also shares her journey, from the demands of acting to her current role as a prominent health coach. Joining them during the weekly series are various athletes, doctors, authors, plant-based chefs and health experts from around the country who provide insights on nutrition, athletic performance, and our relationship with food. As the co-hosts and guests examine the unhealthy, addictive and toxic relationship people create with their food, guidance is offered to the audience on physical, mental and emotional healing.
Dr. Milton Mills Featured in Switch4Good Podcast
Most doctors receive less than 24 hours worth of nutrition education during their four years of medical school; they prescribe pills and surgeries without first looking at their patients' diet. For Dr. Milton Mills, this is not the case. A critical care physician working at an ICU, Dr. Mills is no stranger to patients suffering from advanced stages of chronic disease. His first recommendation? Ditch dairy. He is on a mission to educate the public about the consequences of dairy - to both individual health and that of society. He supports his claims with medical evidence as he unwinds the truth about why dairy is so harmful.
"I think of milk sort of like meth," said Dr. Mills. "You can choose to ingest it for fun and recreation, but in no sense of anyone's imagination can it be considered healthful or good for you." Dr. Mills offers more about his own personal story, and medical expertise, on an episode of the Switch4Good podcast series titled Dairy Is Not a Health Food.
This episode includes:
- Health risks of consuming dairy, including acne, digestive problems, osteoporosis, and certain cancers
- Lactose intolerance and people of color
- Government involvement in the dairy industry and dairy promotion
- The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
- The Blue Zones
- NutritionFacts.org and other resources for people exploring science-backed, easily digestible, and subject-specific videos on health and the benefits of a plant-based diet
This and future episodes are available for download at www.Switch4Good.org, iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher and all major podcast platforms.
