Do you know where your food comes from? Most of us buy and consume food every single day without understanding who grew it, how it was raised, or what the labels actually mean. What if the fear driving your grocery store decisions is based more on marketing than reality?On this episode of Salad With a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck welcomes fifth-generation dairy farmer and environmental scientist Tara Vander Dussen of Discover Ag Podcast and Discover Ag TV for a grounded, no-nonsense conversation about the food system, family farms, organic versus conventional choices, and how consumers can make smarter decisions without the overwhelm. From antibiotic use in dairy farming to the truth about grass-fed beef, water recycling on modern farms, and the impact of imports and tariffs on local agriculture, this episode reframes the conversation and replaces fear with facts.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ How the food system is divided between agriculture and big food, and why understanding that distinction helps you shop smarter and reduce unnecessary food fear✅ What the organic label actually means as a farming practice, and how conventional dairy farming maintains strict quality and safety standards that often go unrecognized✅ Why most cattle in the United States spend the majority of their lives on pasture, and what the real difference between grass-fed and grass-finished beef means for your plate✅ How sustainable farming practices like water recycling, on-site veterinarians, and cattle nutritionists reflect a level of animal care and environmental responsibility that rarely makes it into the public conversationThe Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Breaking down the differences between agriculture and the food industry06:17 Understanding pesticides, glyphosate, and bio-engineered crops as tools in the farmer's toolbox09:13 Why food labels shifted from consumer information to marketing, and how to shop by personal values14:29 The truth about factory farms versus family farms and why 98 percent of dairies are family owned19:10 Conventional dairy quality: antibiotic protocols, testing standards, and why milk is one of the most tested products in the food supply chain25:45 How animal welfare and farm transparency have improved, and the water recycling system on a dairy farm is explained step by step29:29 Grass-fed versus grain-fed beef unpacked and why most cattle spend two-thirds of their lives on pasture36:42 How tariffs and global markets affect dairy farming prices and why grocery store milk prices can mislead38:57 The complicated relationship between consumer demand, imports, exports, and the modern food supplyKEY TAKEAWAYS:

The conversation around T3 is one of the most confusing — and divisive — topics in thyroid care. Conventional medicine often ignores T3 entirely. Integrative and functional medicine frequently treats free T3 as the number that must be optimized at all costs. Patients are left stuck in the middle, unsure who to trust, what their labs actually mean, and whether a "low" free T3 is something that needs to be fixed. In this episode of Thyroid Answers, Dr. Eric Balcavage breaks down what free T3 really represents, where T3 actually comes from, and why lower free T3 is often an adaptive, protective response, not a sign of failure or deficiency. You'll learn: Where T3 actually comes from — and why most of it isn't made by the thyroid The difference between thyroid homeostasis and thyroid allostasis Why the body intentionally reduces T4-to-T3 conversion under strain How free T3 and total T3 tell different stories — and why both matter Why raising free T3 can feel better short-term but worsen physiology long-term When lower free T3 is actually the body's solution, not the problem How to ask better questions instead of chasing numbers This episode is not about protocols or "optimizing labs." It's about understanding state, adaptation, and recovery — so you stop fighting your physiology and start working with it.

Could your high-protein diet be silently damaging your kidneys? Kidney decline doesn't announce itself, in fact it builds quietly while you have no idea it's happening. Dr. Robin Rose is a physician who found out the hard way. After kidney cancer and losing a kidney, she was told she'd be fine. She wasn't. Her GFR dropped to 30. Conventional medicine said monitor and wait. She stopped waiting. In this episode we talk about: - Why GFR alone misses early kidney damage - What the kidney tubules reveal before standard labs catch it - How too much protein stresses kidneys under pressure - Why fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep and anxiety may be early warning signs - What kidney-protective eating actually looks like - Why toxic burden quietly pushes things in the wrong direction Dr. Rose went from a GFR of 30 to 68 with one kidney because she stopped waiting for the system to catch up. Your kidneys are already talking. The question is whether you'll hear them before it 's too late. Want more practical health tips?

In this podcast, Bhante Sathi explores the Buddhist concept of truth, distinguishing between conventional truth, which depends on conditions and shared experiences, and absolute truth, which reflects the impermanent and non-self nature of reality. He explains how attachment to personal perspectives causes suffering and conflict, and how meditation helps us directly perceive the impermanent, conditioned nature of existence. Ultimately, understanding absolute truth allows one to live compassionately and peacefully within conventional life without being controlled by it.

Organic coffee is often seen as the “better” choice—but what does that really mean when it comes to the coffee you roast and drink? In this episode of the Roast It Yourself Podcast, Stephen and Catherine tackle a thoughtful listener question about the difference between organic and conventionally grown coffee, specifically when it comes to pesticides and whether they actually affect the coffee bean itself. The conversation digs into how pesticides interact with the coffee cherry, why processing methods like washed, natural, and honey can change the equation, and why the organic certification label doesn't always tell the full story about how a coffee is grown. Along the way, they also discuss the economics of organic certification, why many farms follow organic practices without paying for the certification, and how roasters actually evaluate coffees when deciding what to buy. If you've ever wondered whether organic coffee really makes a difference—or how much it should matter when choosing green coffee—this episode offers a balanced, practical perspective from two industry professionals. Topics covered: Do pesticides affect the coffee bean or just the fruit? How processing methods influence exposure The realities of organic certification for coffee farms Why many roasters prioritize cup quality over certifications Send your roasting questions to questions@riypod.com NOTES: Follow Our Instagram Account @RIY_POD CHECK US OUT HERE: Coffee Bean Corral YouTube Coffee Bean Corral Website Current Crop Roasting Shop Website Rancher Wholesale Website

Share your thoughts with meAnna Sevo is a 51-year-old Swede who grew up surrounded by alternative therapies — reflexology on Sundays, always looking for the root cause rather than the symptom. Yet for over two decades, she lived with chronic pain following a whiplash injury at age 20, alongside burnout and recurring sinus issues. Conventional medicine — including a gruelling 6-week hospital rehabilitation programme — only made things worse.Everything changed when Anna followed a long-held curiosity about Shirodhara (warm oil poured on the forehead) and ended up at an Ayurvedic clinic in Bali. What she thought would be a single treatment turned into a full 14-day Panchakarma — and the beginning of a profound transformation.In this episode, Charlotte and Anna explore:Anna's story — chronic pain, failed Western treatments, and how she stumbled into Ayurveda without even knowing what it was.The Panchakarma experience — what to expect across the three phases: preparing the body, drawing toxins out of the tissues, and eliminating them. Why Day 5 is often the turning point. Why it's more of a spiritual journey than people expect.Ama and the root cause approach — how accumulated toxins from stress, emotions, medications, and lifestyle create layer upon layer of "armor" in the body, manifesting as pain, inflammation, weight gain, and chronic illness.What Anna sees in the people she guides — from IBS and gallbladder issues to burnout and mental health challenges, and how the Panchakarma addresses the root rather than the symptom.Life after Panchakarma — the importance of morning routines, the 80/20 rule, and why letting go of guilt is just as important as what you eat.Anna now accompanies others on Panchakarma retreats in Bali, helping them experience the same healing she once thought was impossible.

Lisa Poslusny left corporate accounting thinking life would feel different, only to discover she'd packed her stress right along with her. Now a mental fitness coach specializing in accounting professionals, she's learned that changing circumstances isn't enough, and the real work happens internally. Her candid, unscripted conversation with John Randolph on Episode 89 of CPA Life moves from personal transformation to industry-wide challenges, touching on everything from the saboteur assessment (those automatic negative thought patterns that reflect overused strengths) to why accounting firms waste energy trying to fix people's weaknesses instead of amplifying what they do best. There are many gems here: a Houston firm that built a multimillion-dollar practice by hiring part-time working moms, a tax director who found the one firm willing to let him build his own practice on the side, and a managing partner who finally admitted the real reason he opposed remote work was simply because he didn't want it. And the thread connecting it all? "Conventional wisdom" in the accounting profession is in serious need of deconstructing. Get the full show notes and more resources at CPALifePodcast.com

  Cannabis has been rescheduled from Schedule I to Schedule III drug status, allowing more research and testing while reducing social media restrictions on cannabis information sharing. Geri shared that she takes absolutely no pharmaceuticals at age 68 and believes hormone replacement therapy caused her triple positive breast cancer that was 100% estrogen and progesterone driven. Geri's husband was diagnosed with a 22-pound sarcoma in his belly that went undetected despite regular quarterly doctor visits for diabetes monitoring. Her mother's lung cancer stopped growing after taking cannabis oil for one month, causing her to look 15 years younger and be removed from the palliative care list. Despite seeing positive results, Geri's mother chose to stop using cannabis and died because her programming against the "devil's lettuce" from the 1950s was stronger than the evidence. Following Rick Simpson's protocol, Geri built up her cannabis oil dosage from a grain of rice to one gram daily while monitoring her tumor shrinkage through regular ultrasounds. Her doctor forced her into early retirement without sick pay and refused to provide ultrasounds unless she agreed to surgery, despite the tumor numbers consistently decreasing. Geri refused all conventional treatments including 26 rounds of radiation, 30 rounds of chemotherapy, tamoxifen, herceptin, and double mastectomy with reconstruction. Research shows $200 billion annually is spent on cancer research yet cancer rates have increased by 70%, while the endocannabinoid system serves as the master regulator of health that 99% of people have never heard of. A friend's 34-year-old daughter-in-law died two years after breast cancer diagnosis despite completing all conventional treatments including double mastectomy, reconstruction, chemotherapy, and radiation. Mineral deficiencies, particularly boron deficiency, contribute significantly to aging-related health issues including osteoporosis, arthritis, weak joints, and myocarditis. Geri currently takes approximately three grains of rice worth of cannabis oil nightly on a toothpick as a maintenance dose nine years after her cancer diagnosis. Her brother achieved prostate cancer clearance using cannabis oil suppositories combined with minimal conventional treatment after being threatened with denial of knee replacement surgery. Plant medicines including cannabis belong in the human body and mesh perfectly with natural cannabinoid systems, unlike pharmaceutical drugs derived from toxic petrochemicals and fluoride.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOtmQv3O7T8 Podcast audio: It is common to think of values as things we “discover” about ourselves — pre-packaged preferences waiting somewhere deep inside. We speak, for example, of “discovering our passion” or of finally realizing “what we were meant to do,” as if these priorities had been there all along. On this view, valuing is automatic: we simply respond to our needs, desires, or emotions. In his 2025 Objectivist Summer Conference talk, titled “Conceiving Values,” Gregory Salmieri offers a different account. Drawing on Ayn Rand's distinctive view, he argues that valuing is not passive or instinctive. It is an active, cognitive achievement — something we must choose, learn, and practice. Values, Salmieri explains, are goals within an ongoing process of self-sustaining action. Other organisms act to preserve themselves, but only human beings can conceptually identify and plan out their values. To concretize this process, Salmieri turns to the work of creators.  An architect does not discover their buildings ready-made in the world; a novelist does not stumble upon finished stories; each must actively conceive a guiding idea and gradually give it concrete form. Likewise, valuing involves choosing long-range commitments that give direction to one's actions and define the course of one's life. Topics covered in Salmieri's talk include: Conventional view of values vs. Objectivism's; Values and life; Conceptual values in human beings; Knowledge and goals in valuing; Q&A. This talk was recorded live on July 5th in Boston, MA, as part of the 2025 Objectivist Summer Conference, and is available on The Ayn Rand Institute Podcast stream.  Listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

In this deep dive, we bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern science to uncover the "Inflammation Code."  We discuss how childhood experiences shape our health journeys, the physiological impact of being out of sync with nature's clock, and the importance of advocating for root-cause medicine in a world dominated by quick-fix pharmaceuticals.  Dr. Shivani shares practical, daily Ayurvedic rituals, from tongue scraping to seasonal eating, that empower you to take control of your vitality and navigate the complex supplement industry with transparency and confidence. Key Takeaways & Revelations The Circadian Clock: Why aligning your meal timing and sleep rituals with your circadian rhythm is the foundation of metabolic health.
