Opting for plant-based alternatives often seems like a health-conscious decision. But what if these seemingly harmless swaps are actually posing hidden risks behind the scenes?
Brooke Harris, food lover and Founder of Goodmylk, previously thought switching to plant-based milk was always a healthy choice. But when she started having health problems from plant-based milk, she knew she needed to make a change.
That’s what led her to create Goodmylk, a dairy-free milk substitute that tastes great. Unlike many other plant-based milks with added sugars and palm oil, Goodmylk’s products are made from simple ingredients like dates, tigernut, Himalayan salt, sprouted almonds, and oats. Brooke also shares some of her unusual health tips, like cold plunging, red light therapy, and putting onions in socks before bed to help reduce inflammation.
In this episode, Brooke talks with Jen about the hidden truths about plant-based milk, wellness tips to improve overall health, and how she created a better plant-based milk alternative.
