“Lactose intolerance is not a sickness or disability. Be proud of your body because it is protecting you from harmful substances.“- Dr. Yen Ang

Our very own @dr.luckymd makes a very interesting, thought-provoking point! The phrase “lactose intolerance” points the finger at us, making humans feel like there is something wrong with us when our human body has an adverse reaction to cow’s milk! Sounds silly when you really think about it, right? You aren’t alone! Over 65% of the global population can’t digest lactose, and you might want to thank your body for it!👇

Have you taken our quiz to figure out if you’re lactose intolerant? Click the link in our link tree, and visit switch4good.org for research, resources, recipes, tips, tricks, and more to help you ditch dairy and THRIVE!

If you’ve ever wondered how to make nutritious food taste amazing or what foods boost your health by supporting your gut microbiome, then you’re going to love today’s new episode of the Switch4Good podcast!

Our guest is Desiree Nielsen @desireenielsenrd , a plant-based recipe developer, podcaster, author, and registered dietitian with a focus on plant-based nutrition and gut health. In her new book, “Plant Magic: A Celebration of Plant-Based Cooking for Everyone,” Desiree offers a wonderful collection of creative recipes that make incorporating more plants into your diet easy, convenient, and delicious.

If you’re a returning listener, you might recall Desiree from her insightful appearance on episode 185, where she shared invaluable knowledge about the gut-brain connection, maintaining healthy inflammatory responses, and the truth about getting enough protein through plants. However, there’s still so much more to explore, which is why we’re thrilled to welcome her back to the show!

Tune in via the link in our linktree as Desiree dives deeper into the world of plant-based cuisine, gut health, and so much more. Get ready to be inspired and empowered on your journey to vibrant health!

After both @starbucks and @dunkin were sued for allegedly violating the Americans With Disabilities Act, we knew it was only a matter of time, for good reason, before we saw a third lawsuit, and now @peetscoffee is under fire 🔥

Four customers with lactose intolerance are suing Peet’s Coffee according to the San Francisco Business Times. They allege it’s discriminatory to charge more for nondairy milk alternatives; the business charges $0.80 extra for oat, almond, or soy milk, though per ounce those milks cost less than standard dairy cream. Plaintiffs who are either lactose intolerant or who have milk allergies argue that the non-dairy surcharge is a federal violation of the ADA.

📢🗣️☕️ Now, ICYMI, our Justice Cup Campaign has been fighting against @Starbucks for years urging them to drop their plant milk uncharge as it IS discrimination to charge for plant milk, especially towards the 95% of individuals of color who are lactose intolerant and being forced to pay extra for a drink that won’t make them sick.

We’ve had enough, and now the people are letting us know that they’ve had enough, too.

We’ll keep you posted as we learn more.

Happy Earth Day 🌎 🎉 Have you ever wondered w

Happy Earth Day 🌎 🎉 Have you ever wondered what you could do to reduce your carbon footprint by 8% every day? The answer is in the MILK… Cow’s milk, that is 👇

In a recent study, researchers evaluated the environmental and health impact of simple food substitutions in the United States diet and concluded that changing what we eat would reduce our carbon footprint. They found that swapping out dairy milk for plant-based milks could lead to an 8% reduction in a person’s daily carbon footprint. Consumers choosing to adopt the study’s proposed substitutions would see substantial reductions in their personal dietary carbon footprint, ranging from 8% reductions from milk and dairy or beverage substitutions to >50% reductions from protein or mixed-dish substitutions ‼️

By ditching dairy and going plant-based, you can reduce carbon emissions by 45%, land use by 55%, and water use by 107% (switch4good.org/planetary-responsibility). All you have to do to make a positive impact is swap out ONE PRODUCT, and you’ll make a huge difference for the Earth! The stats tell the tale: you can effectively fight climate change with diet change!

📝 Here’s another impactful action you can take today: we need you to tell the DGA (Dietary Guidelines for Americans) committee that dairy does not deserve to be a separate food category by clicking the link in our linktree and signing our pre-populated form! Thank you for your support, and Happy Earth Day!
