Episode notes
Be Cautious With Cow Mozzarella
- Avoid cow-based fresh mozzarella due to moderate lactose, A1 casein, and higher moisture risk.
- Prefer buffalo or goat mozzarella and grass-fed sources to reduce inflammation and spoilage risk.
Avoid Cow-Based Brie If Sensitive
- Avoid cow-based brie if you have mold or histamine sensitivity because it contains mold and A1 casein.
- Brie can trigger brain fog, fatigue, and histamine reactions in sensitive people.
Skip Commercial Blue Cheese
- Avoid commercial cow-based blue cheeses if you are histamine or gut-sensitive due to heavy mold content.
- Mold plus cow milk often worsens gut, liver, and immune reactions.
