  • The Truth About Butter and Why Quality Matters

    The Truth About Butter and Why Quality Matters
    Jan 9 2026
    Butter has been feared and misunderstood for years, leaving many of us unsure of what to believe about it and our health. In this episode, I sit down with Bill Van Nes from St. Brigid’s Creamery for a real and down to earth conversation about butter, and nourishment. We talk about why butter became controversial, how low fat messaging shaped food fear, the role quality fats play in digestion, inflammation, and hormone health, and why the difference between A1 and A2 dairy matters for many people. We also explore how food is grown, sourced, and cared for makes a real difference in how our bodies respond. This episode is about reconnecting with food and learning how to make choices that feel supportive, informed, and human.
