Welcome to the 3rd episode of the Back to Human podcast. On this episode I had the pleasure of interviewing the CEO and founder of Raw Farm (previously known as Organic Pastures Dairy), Mark McAfee. Mark served as a Paramedic for the EMS system of Fresno County for 17 years prior to getting his hands dirty with organic farming and raw milk. Mark is also the president of The Raw Milk Institute that serves to train other farmers both nationally and internationally on safe farming practices in order to make raw milk safe and more accessible for human consumption.
In this episode we discuss:
•Mark’s fascinating story with his introduction to the world of raw milk.
•The benefits of raw milk.
•How the practice of pasteurization began.
•The relationship between farmers and consumers.
•Could raw milk be a viable alternative to breast-feeding?
•Pasteurized dairy that has had beneficial cultures added back (yogurt, butter, kefir).
•Gut health and how to reintroduce raw dairy into your diet.
