Janelle shares her journey into intermittent fasting after a long history in the world of bodybuilding. Janelle explains she first heard about intermittent fasting during her bodybuilding days in the early 2010s, though at the time, she and others in the fitness community dismissed it as just another fad. She attempted fasting briefly under the guidance of someone who didn't fully understand the clean fast principles, leading her to give up, concerned about muscle loss. Many years and life changes later—including pregnancy, motherhood, and the closure of gyms during the pandemic—Janelle found herself struggling with unexplained weight gain and low energy, even after trying traditional approaches to nutrition and fitness.A turning point came when a coworker, whose sister's doctor recommended intermittent fasting, rekindled Janelle's interest. Janelle began her journey in June 2023, starting with a 14:10 approach and gradually narrowing her eating window as she learned more, eventually settling into a routine that worked for her lifestyle. Her initial research brought her to Gin's book, Fast. Feast. Repeat., which she credits—as well as the Intermittent Fasting Stories podcast and community—for giving her the knowledge and support to embrace clean fasting and the “delay, don't deny” philosophy. Listening to the podcast episodes, Janelle connected deeply with the stories of others and found practical tools and reassurance in their diversity of experience.Janelle's approach to fasting has not been defined by rapid weight loss but by steady progress and substantial health improvements. She openly discusses her slow, “turtle” pace in shedding pounds, emphasizing how much better she feels in terms of physical energy and mental clarity. Throughout her two-year journey, Janelle has released over 20 pounds and, most importantly, shifted away from a restrictive, scale-obsessed relationship with food, particularly as a former bodybuilder. She highlights the newfound freedom she enjoys around food and eating—modeling a positive example for her young daughter and appreciating treats, family meals, and special occasions without guilt or diet mentality.Janelle concludes her story by encouraging newcomers to immerse themselves in well-researched resources—particularly Gin's books and the podcast—for practical guidance and support. She underlines the importance of keeping an open mind, especially for those with a diet-focused background or entrenched ideas about nutrition. Janelle's final advice is to try intermittent fasting without overcomplicating it: read, learn, don't stress about perfection, and remember it costs nothing to give it a shot. According to Janelle, intermittent fasting has been truly life-changing, and she urges others to discover its benefits for themselves.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.

In July, there was a recall on two brands of plant-based milks, Silk and Great Value, after a listeria outbreak that led to at least 20 illnesses and three deaths. Public health officials determined the same strain of listeria had been making people sick for almost a year. When Globe reporters began looking into what happened, they found a surprising fact: the facility that the bacteria was traced to had not been inspected for listeria in years.The reporters learned that in 2019 the Canadian Food Inspection Agency introduced a new system that relies on an algorithm to prioritize sites for inspectors to visit.

In this episode, Curtis Stone, whose farm has been internationally recognized as a flagship example of profitability and productivity for urban agriculture, shares wisdom from building an off-grid homestead for his family. He also describes his journey as a truth seeker, which started long before he even became a farmer. He details the new life he created as a result of standing up for that in which he believes. Topics covered in this interview: Curtis shares his story of the legal process of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency “trying to shake” him down on his farm, and how they backed down after he said he would charge them a consulting fee for spending time visiting to review it.  A cultural renaissance happening in the rural areas, in the small communities, with a new breed of entrepreneurs developing. The importance of standing up for truth, even if not for yourself, but for your children. Curtis' goals of being in control with his homestead: food, water, energy and shelter. The awakening of the past two years, with more people becoming conscious of what's going on, and things becoming easier and easier as a result.. Pattern recognition of applying permaculture. Curtis' faith journey from being an atheist to now believing God is in everything, with AI drawing people away. The book, The Law of One, about cycles in life. Feeling in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration, to move beyond ego. “Unschooling” as a way Curtis' children are learning at home. Jim shared a private school he is creating to build self-reliance, starting with learning how to grow food. Curtis' process of going from no money and raising funds through a bike tour, to how he built a profitable “scalable” farm, tracking it in his book, The Urban Farmer. (https://www.amazon.com/Urban-Farmer-Growing-Profit-Borrowed/dp/0865718016) A glimpse of Curtis' farm, his three greenhouses, hot house, and benefits of growing food during winter.   Curtis Stone is an author, farmer, homesteader and father.  His book, The Urban Farmer, demonstrates organic-intensive techniques with a focus on business and systems to streamline labor and production. He offers a new way to think about farming, one where quality of life and profitability coexist. Curtis' farm, Green City Acres, is located in Kelowna, BC, Canada and was established in 2010. In an eight-month growing season the farm generates more than $75,000 per year on only one-third of an acre. This is done by specializing in a select group of high-value, quick growing crops that allow for multiple plantings in the same beds as well as calculated intercropping strategies. The farm has been recognized internationally, as a flagship example of how profitable and productive urban agriculture can be. In addition to spending the first twelve years of his career developing profitable systems for small farms, he has spent that same amount of time exploring solutions for freedom within the prison matrix in which we find ourselves. He has developed a 40-acre, off-grid homestead with his family which he has been documenting at https://fromthefield.tv and YouTube.   Follow Curtis: Website: https://fromthefield.tv YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/UrbanFarmerCurtisStone  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@offgridwithcurtisstone Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fromthefieldtv   To learn about his courses: https://freedomfarmers.com/   Food Forest Abundance: Website: https://foodforestabundance.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FoodForestAbundance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foodforestabundance/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/FFAbundance LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/food-forest-abundance/   The Jim Gale Show Podcast: https://linktr.ee/jimgaleshow   Sponsored by The Weston A.

Earlier this year, Health Canada revised its rules to allow more genetically edited foods into the market without special safety checks. Now, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency may be on a similar path when it comes to genetically modified seeds. Dr. Cami Ryan with Bayer AG discusses the differing viewpoints between the public and scientific communities when it comes to the safety – and acceptance – of GM foods; plus, Marla Carlson with SaskOrganics shares why organic farmers are concerned that an upcoming decision by the CFIA may not include genetically modified seeds into a mandatory registry. Hosted by Geralyn Wichers.

Harvest is nearly complete in southeast Saskatchewan; The CEO and President of Nutrien believes it is possible to produce more grain with less fertilizer; & The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has confirmed the presence of avian flu in a non-commercial non-poultry flock in the Langley Township.

Indonesia is taking steps to control a Foot and Mouth Disease outbreak in that country. The Swine Health Information Center monitors domestic and global diseases and provides monthly surveillance reports. Center Associate Director Dr. Megan Niederwerder says Foot and Mouth Disease virus has been on the radar for global detection since May because there have been substantial outbreaks, particularly in Indonesia where approximately 500,000 animals have been infected. She will talk about the importance of controlling the spread of the disease that can affect cattle and pigs. Saskatchewan's chief veterinary officer issued an Animal Health Order prohibiting the transport of birds to shows, auctions and fairs after several reports of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza. The disease is carried by migratory birds. The animal health order will remain in place until October 21, when it will be reviewed. Dr. Noel Ritson-Bennett is the Canadian Food Inspection Agency veterinary program manager and part of the CFIA's Western Area Response Team for avian influenza. He says this month's outbreak was expected.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode I speak with Ellen Bayens of The Celiac Scene.com about things that have been of interest in the celiac and gluten free world over the past month.  Ellen and I have a discussion about bloating – something that was never really a symptom for me, but as a symptom it should be talked about more.  Ellen tells us of the recent product recall from Cavendish Farms, along with details of the new non-gluten status of Earth's Own oat beverage.  The website to sign up for product recalls with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is - https://inspection.canada.ca/english/util/listserv/listsube.shtml.  We both get wrapped up in a recent episode of Dr. Phil where he talks to a woman who is so fearful of ingesting gluten that she is changing everything to accommodate her fears.  Dr. Phil gives us some valid information on how to evaluate a fear like this.  Ellen found the evaluation criteria transposed well to help her in another area of her life. Ellen gives me her thoughts on a few of my recent podcast conversations including Dr. Melissa Ing, The Allergy Chef and Adam, who is Deanna's boyfriend.  We also talk about how honest Aaron is on my Gluten Free Weigh In podcast after he was recently “glutened”. We round out our discussion with Selena's 15 Gluten Free Finds from Costco and my review of a recent online cooking class I participated in with Cinde, the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet.

#GeekingOutSeries/Safety101/ChemicalsinFood/2This post is part of the Geeking Out series which presents data-driven information on food and farming, safety in the kitchen, practical science for cooks, cooking techniques and processes and other relevant nerdy stuff that every cook should know.  For the next few weeks, we will be covering topics from the chapter, Safety 101. This is the second of a four part series.In part 1 of  “I’ll Have The Poison on the Side Please,” we gave an overview on how and why American agriculture had devolved into a monoculture landscape of chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. We continue the discussion by introducing a poison used not only in commercial farms, but in home gardens.Have you wondered why “gluten-free” is all the rage these days?  In North America and Europe, an estimated 5% are either diagnosed with Celiac disease or are gluten-intolerant.  Symptoms include “nausea, diarrhea, skin rashes, macrocytic anemia and depression,” and is “associated with numerous nutritional deficiencies as well as reproductive issues and increased risk to thyroid disease, kidney failure and cancer,” according to a study published by the US National Library of Medicine. Guess what it’s largely attributed to?  Glyphosate, the active ingredient in a product we all know: Roundup.Roundup, manufactured by Monsanto and recently acquired by Bayer, is the largest selling herbicide in the world.  Many home gardeners use it to kill weeds unaware that its main ingredient, glyphosate, has been linked to cancer, specifically non-Hodgkin lymphoma, currently the subject of several lawsuits. But that’s not all. A team of French scientists from the University of Caen found that an inert ingredient in Roundup, specifically polyethoxylated tallowamine, or POEA was “more deadly to human embryonic, placental and umbilical cord cells than the herbicide itself,” according to an article published by the Scientific American.  They concluded that the formulation itself-- the combination of various ingredients in Roundup, “could cause cell damage and even death [at the] residual levels.”In the US, many farm products have an inordinately high amount of Roundup.  According to an article published by the Environmental Working Group:“Most glyphosate is sprayed on “Roundup ready” corn and soybeans genetically engineered to withstand the herbicide. Increasingly, glyphosate is also sprayed just before harvest on wheat, barley, oats and beans that are not genetically engineered. Glyphosate kills the crop, drying it out so it can be harvested sooner than if the plant were allowed to die naturally.”The use of Roundup as a pre-harvest dessicant increases the chances of residuals, making wheat, barley, oats and beans particularly noxious.  Fortunately, there is some good news.  At the end of 2019, Kellogg’s, the ubiquitous cereals manufacturer, made a commitment to phase out oats and wheat treated with glyphosate by 2025.  Second only to General Mills, Kellogg’s holds enormous sway over farms and suppliers and one can only hope that this will have a positive ripple effect across the industry.  Even if a disingenuous marketing move (would you serve your child a bowl of poisoned cereal when you have an option that isn’t?), it is still a step in the right direction.  However, it does beg the question of how many children and adults were and are still being slowly poisoned by common food items containing glyphosate?     In tests commissioned by several groups including the Environmental Working Group, Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Friends of the Earth and even the FDA, glyphosate was detected in most wheat-based products such as pizza, crackers, pasta and cereals.   So yes, your typical American commercial food is pretty toxic and we’re all getting slowly poisoned every day.Herbicides with glyphosate, are already banned or restricted in many parts of the world including France, Germany, Argentina, India, Australia, and in some US cities like San Francisco, Seattle, Miami, Austin and Portland, ME.  Why isn’t it banned everywhere?  Capitalism, baby.  The same reason the EPA under the previous administration allowed  corporations to make our air and water dirtier by scrapping or relaxing regulations that limit pollution.After around 30,000 legal claims from customers who believed they developed cancer from glyphosate, there’s a bit of environmental good news:  Bayer announced last year that it would no longer sell glyphosate-containing products, including Roundup, to home gardeners starting 2023.  That’s a start. But unless it is banned completely, there’s still 280 million pounds applied annually to crop lands.  You can bet a lot of that is making its way into our food system. While the sad reality is that we can’t currently rely on government or big business to safeguard our interests, specifically our health, we are not entirely helpless. How we choose to spend our dollar makes a difference and can influence how food is produced in the US.  Buying organic or from local, sustainable farms is not just a hipster trend, it’s a commitment to consume healthy food, limit the impact on the environment and support farms and companies that are doing the right thing.  If money were no object, everything we buy should be organic and/or local. But it’s expensive, initially. Over time, it’s much cheaper if you consider how much you’d be spending on outrageous medical bills and a reduced quality of life caused by a toxic diet.  But for most of us, our brains don’t work this way.  When you see organic bell peppers at nearly twice the price of conventionally grown ones, it’s easy to chuck good intentions aside and reach for the conventional ones.  I’ve been there.  And, it’s still an ongoing battle with my husband who has a difficult time resisting deals and sales.  Thankfully, there’s the Dirty Dozen list.The Dirty DozenFruits, vegetables and other crops have varying degrees of pesticide, herbicide and other chemical residues based on their particular farming practices. Chemical residues, including petroleum-based wax applied to some produce for cosmetic purposes or to retain freshness, are mostly found on the outer layer of produce.  So eating conventional spinach would be more toxic than a conventional banana where most of the chemical residues are on the discarded peel.Making sense of all this and recognizing that most of us can’t afford to buy everything organic, the Environmental Working Group  releases an annual list of the twelve fruits and vegetables that have the most chemicals in them, and therefore are the produce that we should buy organic.The Dirty Dozen List (aka What You Should Buy Organic)(2021 list according to most toxic)1. Strawberries2. Spinach3. Kale4. Nectarines5.Apples6. Grapes7. Cherries8. Peaches9.  Pears10. Bell Peppers11. Celery12. TomatoesYou can check their website for the full list at : https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/The list above pertains to fresh produce. But given what we now know of the high levels of Roundup in our wheat, barley, oats and beans, buying organic, including organic flour (pasta, cereals and other derivatives) and avoiding GMO products is also highly recommended.Then there’s the Clean Fifteen. The Environmental Working Group also releases an annual list of produce that don’t have as much chemicals in them. The Clean Fifteen (aka What You Don’t Have To Buy Organic)(2021 list according to cleanest/least toxic)1.Avocados2. Sweet Corn3. Pineapples4. Onions5. Papayas6. Sweet Peas Frozen7. Eggplants8.
