Is Dairy Good For Us?

Is Dairy Good For Us? | This episode is brought to you by
ButcherBox We have no biological requirement for dairy, and yet,
we’ve been told over and over again that this food is a great
source of calcium and that milk makes healthy bones and we should
drink it daily. However, the research shows that none of this is
true. In fact, close to 70 percent of the world’s population is
genetically unable to properly digest milk and other dairy
products—a problem known as lactose intolerance. But even if you
aren’t lactose intolerant, consuming dairy can lead to weight gain,
bloating, acne, gas, allergies, eczema, brittle bones, and
sometimes even cancer. In this mini-episode, Dr. Hyman discusses
why he often works with patients to eliminate dairy in
conversations with his colleagues Lisa Dreher and Dr. Elizabeth
Boham. He also speaks with Dr. David Ludwig about his recent
research on milk and dairy products. Lisa Dreher is a registered
dietitian who got her undergraduate nutrition degree at the
Rochester Institute of Technology and completed a dietetic
internship through Cornell University. Lisa first worked in the
acute care hospital setting and became a Clinical Nutrition
Specialist working in Pediatric Gastroenterology at the University
of Rochester Medical Center. At the same time, she pursued her
Masters degree in Nutrition and Integrative Health from the
Maryland University of Integrative Health and started practicing
integrative and functional nutrition in private practice before
joining UWC in 2015. She has since received additional training
through the Institute for Functional Medicine.  Over the past
10 years, Lisa has delivered several public health lectures on the
role of food as medicine and her work has been showcased in
Reader’s Digest, on National Public Radio, and she was featured in
the Broken Brain 2 series. She also developed the Digestive Health
and Gut Microbiome training module for the Dietitians in
Integrative and Functional Medicine practice group through the
Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.  Elizabeth Boham is a
physician and nutritionist who practices Functional Medicine at The
UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice and
lecturing she has helped thousands of people achieve their goals of
optimum health and wellness. She witnesses the power of nutrition
every day in her practice and is committed to training other
physicians to utilize nutrition in healing. Dr. Boham has
contributed to many articles and wrote the latest chapter on
Obesity for the Rankel Textbook of Family Medicine. She is part of
the faculty of the Institute for Functional Medicine and has been
featured on the Dr. Oz show and in a variety of publications and
media including Huffington Post, The Chalkboard Magazine, and
Experience Life. Her DVD Breast Wellness: Tools to Prevent and Heal
from Breast Cancer explores the Functional Medicine approach to
keeping your breasts and whole body well. David S. Ludwig, MD, PhD

He holds the rank of Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical
School and Professor of Nutrition at Harvard School of Public
Health. Dr. Ludwig is co-director of the New Balance Foundation

Life program, one of the country’s oldest and largest clinics for
the care of overweight children.    For more than 25

metabolism, body weight, and risk for chronic disease. Described as
an “obesity warrior” by Time Magazine, Dr. Ludwig has fought for
fundamental policy changes to improve the food environment. He has

Institutes of Health and philanthropic organizations and has
published over 200 scientific articles. Dr. Ludwig was a
