How Colostrum Changed Everything (after years of trying everything)

If you know me or have followed me for a while, you know my health journey hasn’t been easy. It’s been years of ups and downs. The last six months or so I've gained mental and emotional stability. Physically, not so much. Symptoms come and go, some of them severe.

I’ve tried more supplements, herbs, and protocols than I can count. Some helped. Some made things worse. I’ll break all that down in another post, but in this post we are going to talk about something that caused a huge shift: colostrum.

In case you're wondering what colostrum is, it's the first milk that a mother produces after giving birth. It is packed with immune-building goodness.

Before you jump into buying and taking colostrum, hear this: you’ve gotta prep your body. For me, that looked like clean eating, binders, sauna sessions, and consistent detox habits. If you skip that part, you might wind up in worse shape. Even with the prep work I have done, my reaction was still excruciating.

I hadn't tried colostrum before even though I had heard about it's benefits because I was scared to. I’ve had issues with dairy forever. Milk, butter, ghee—they’ve all triggered me. But I decided I had been stable enough lately that now was a good a time as ever. I got some from grass-fed cows and started slow. The first day I just took a pinch. Then I split a packet over the next two days.

My body flipped out! I had my first migraine ever—visual disturbances, neck and head pain that wrapped around my skull and felt like it would squeeze my eyes out. Literally every heartbeat was excruciating. Two brutal days. Then I had a whole-body ache worse than any flu I can remember.

Despite all that, I was hopeful because I felt like my immune system was at war, fighting something that it didn't have the tools to fight before.

Once the storm passed, things changed—fast. Foods I hadn’t been able to eat for years were suddenly fine. Beef, pork, butter, high-histamine stuff like tomatoes. No flare-ups, no reactions. Just… normal.

I ran another round of colostrum recently, and the reaction was way less. I plan to keep taking it regularly until there is no reaction at all.

Is It for Everyone? No.

If you’ve got a dairy allergy, this probably isn’t for you. And even if you don’t, it’s not something to try without groundwork and guidance. But if your system’s prepped and you’ve tried everything else, it might be worth exploring—with support.
