INSIGHT

Children's Health Crisis

Chronic diseases are rising dramatically in children, increasing from 1.6% in the 1960s to 54% today.
This alarming trend is driven by environmental factors like pollutants and pesticides, not genetic mutations.

ANECDOTE

Leaving Traditional Medicine

Dr. Rahal's personal health struggles with gut issues while practicing medicine led to her frustration with the conventional medical model.
The limitations of short appointment times prevented deep dives into patients' environmental and lifestyle factors.

INSIGHT

Colostrum, the first milk produced by mammals, is rich in nutrients, antibodies, and growth factors.
These compounds work together to support development and optimize various bodily systems.

About ten years ago, I began working colostrum into my product development efforts – seeing its game changing nutritional value for exactly what it was, well before the mainstream sank its teeth into it. Today’s guest has the experience and intellect to take us deep into the science behind it.

Dr. Sarah Rahal, MD – the brainchild of ARMRA – is a double board-certified pediatric neurologist with expertise in environmental and functional medicine. After years of clinical work and research, she was alarmed by the rise of chronic diseases in young patients due to modern environmental factors like pollutants, pesticides, and more.

This led her to leave traditional medicine and develop ARMRA's technology with a mission to minimize the modern environmental impact on human health – a truly honorable and trailblazing path that she explains for us today, from early personal health issues to the future of her fascinating company.

More than anything though, this episode serves as the ultimate Colostrum 101 course for anyone interested in learning more, living healthier, and even for those still harboring doubts over things like fasting and ethical sourcing. Dr. Sarah Rahal answers it all and more.
