The Truth About Milk: Dairy Myths, A2 Protein & The War on Real Food | Jeff Mroz, Pioneer Pastures

In this episode of The Art of Being Well, Dr. Will Cole sits down with Jeff Mroz, former NFL player and founder of Pioneer Pastures, to unpack one of the most misunderstood foods in modern nutrition - milk. Jeff shares how his experience as a professional athlete led him to discover the truth about dairy, gut health, and why so many people who think they’re “lactose intolerant” actually aren’t. Together, they explore the science behind A2 protein, how industrial farming changed the structure of milk, and why returning to ancestral dairy may be one of the most powerful steps for healing. They also dive into the war on saturated fat, the myths around plant milks, and how regenerative farming can support both human and planetary health.
