On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice highlights Ottawa's pattern of putting politics and ideology ahead of evidence and common sense, and how the legacy media runs cover every step of the way. The National Telegraph founder Wyatt Claypool joins the show to discuss the Supreme Court's decision to pause the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's order to cull more than 400 ostriches in British Columbia. Despite the birds recovering from avian flu, the agency pushed ahead anyway, sparking protests, arrests, and outrage before the court stepped in. Next, Candice and Wyatt discuss Health Canada's decision to contradict President Trump and RFK Jr. on warnings about Tylenol use during pregnancy. Instead of addressing years of studies pointing to potential risks, officials sided with Big Pharma and dismissed the concerns simply to spite Trump. They also examine how Liberals continue funnelling money to the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, an activist group with Antifa ties, even after President Trump signed an executive order designating Antifa a domestic terrorist organization. Finally, Candice is joined by RockLinc CEO Jonathan Wellum to examine Ottawa's looming “mega deficit.” With Carney preparing to spend billions more while capital and jobs flee, Wellum warns Canada is falling further behind as the U.S. reindustrializes under Trump.

But if you're looking for support from a community of like-minded IFers, we are here for you at ginstephens.com/community. Janelle is a chemist at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. 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 this episode, guest host Leonard Zheng joins Allison to interview two LFS alumni that have each pursued graduate school. Manveen Kaur completed her B.Sc. in Applied Animal Biology at LFS thinking she would become a doctor or veterinarian. After falling in love with research in 3rd year, she decided to complete her undergraduate thesis and then continue on to complete an APBI Masters. Even though she thought she would go on to complete a PhD and continue with research, she now works with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency as a Multi-Program Inspector. Ann Yang completed her B.Sc. in Food, Nutrition and Health at LFS. After graduating, she went on to work in the non-profit sector, where she observed systemic issues that she felt unable to resolve. This workplace experience led her to pursue her Master's of Public Health at UBC, which she is currently working on. By pursuing the MPH, Ann intends to learn how to become a catalyst for change. Both Anna and Manveen give generously of their time to the LFS Young Alumni Council.

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada minister Marie-Claude Bibeau announced that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency would move forward with Part 5 of the Seed Regulations, in line with Health Canada's decision a year ago. That decision set out that gene-editing was considered “non-novel” and would be treated as such through the regulatory system.

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.

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.
