#187: How Raw Dairy Is GREAT For Gut Health featuring Michelle Allen

When Michelle Allen joined us on the podcast, we were excited to dive into her perspective on launching her company Mother Culture. The origins of the company are rooted in her own family's struggles in curing some severe allergies and illness. From the start of the conversation, we knew Michelle was going to bring a wealth of knowledge. She taught us all about:

- Why Raw Milk is healthy?
- How to cure allergies?
- Why food is medicine?
- How to heal the gut with food?
- How to start cooking nourishing meals for kids?
- How to take risks in business?
- What is the Weston A Price Foundation?
- What is the GAPS Diet and why is the GAPS Diet so good for gut health?

We spent a lot of time discussing the risks she took in starting her business. As a mother of 7, she went all in on her business and spent nearly every penny she had on her first piece of equipment (the one she still uses today). Whether you are looking to learn more about entrepreneurship or the power of healthy foods, you will absolutely enjoy this episode!
