Are You Avoiding Dairy For The Wrong Reasons?

Triathlon Nutrition Academy

Put your hand up if you avoid dairy

Do you have a clinical reason to avoid it? You may not tolerate it or follow a vegan diet and choose to avoid all animal products. That is A OK.

But unless you fall into those categories, it’s actually a really nutritious food that is useful as an endurance athlete.

In this episode I discuss:

• Some of the reasons you might need to avoid dairy
• How do we digest lactose or milk sugar
• Why milk sugar is not bad for us
• Why I dislike a lot of milk alternatives on the market
• What is lactose intolerance?
• What are the signs and symptoms of lactose intolerance?
• How do you diagnose lactose intolerance
• What treatment is there if you are lactose intolerant
• Some cool research in probiotics in lactose intolerance

If you are someone that avoids dairy products or feels like you don’t tolerate it, tune in to help troubleshoot this confusing, myth riddled area of nutrition.
