If you've ever wondered where your wheat flour is coming from, who is milling it (and how), or how it came to be such an important staple, then this episode might be for you. Dr. Rebecca Sharpless speaks with host Scott Catey about People of the Wheat: Culture and Cultivation in North Texas (U Texas Press, 2026). This book examines the history of wheat in the six counties of the North Texas wheat belt, and how wheat growing, milling, and baking shaped the people and culture there. In the national imaginary, America's amber fields of grain lie in the country's center, but for more than a century, they also grew across one pocket of the South: North Texas. From the 1840s to the 1970s, the state's agriculture, dominated in lore by cotton in the east and livestock in the open range, was heavily invested in the cultivation, processing, sale, and consumption of wheat. Recalling a forgotten history, Rebecca Sharpless shows how the rhythms of the wheat harvest—and the evolution of the milling, distribution, and baking industries—governed daily life in what is now known as the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex. In the 1840s, Anglo settlers discovered that grain flourished in North Texas and quickly built an economy that included wheat in fields, mills, and kitchens. After the Civil War, hand labor gave way to mechanization, greatly increasing production. Commercial bakeries churned out novel confections, and big cities were built on the bounty of the countryside. In the second half of the twentieth century, as production moved northward, industrial milling and baking declined, but home baking boomed, flour advertising supported regional music, and wheat fortunes financed the region's cultural life. Sharpless covers 150 years of wheat's very human history and shows how the labor that cultivated it, the sustenance it provided, and the prosperity it generated left an indelible mark on the people and institutions of Texas. Dr. Rebecca Sharpless is a Professor of History at Texas Christian University. She specializes in Gender & Sexuality, Texas History, and American History. She is the author of three previous books: Grain and Fire: A History of Baking in the American South (2022); Cooking in Other Women's Kitchens: Domestic Workers in the South, 1865-1960 (2010); and Fertile Ground, Narrow Choices: Women on Texas Cotton Farms, 1900-1940 (1999).

Medicinal mushrooms have been gaining popularity in the wellness world due to their potential health benefits. In this episode of the NTI PodTalk, Dianne interviews soon to be graduate, NTI staff member, and founder of Bloomcap Naturals, Andy Cappetta. Andy shares his journey into mycology, medicinal mushroom cultivation and extraction, and what truly defines a high-quality mushroom supplement. If you've been using medicinal mushrooms, or are curious about them but don't know where to start, this episode is for you! About Andy:Andrew Cappetta is a Colorado-based mycology enthusiast, functional nutrition professional, and the founder of Bloomcap Naturals LLC — a small-batch, fruiting-body-only mushroom extract company focused on purity, potency, and transparency.Andrew's passion for mushrooms began as part of his own healing journey. After struggling with reactive hypoglycemia, nervous system dysregulation, and the emotional stress of losing his brother, he turned toward the world of functional mushrooms as a way to support his resilience and well-being. When commercial supplements only left him inflamed or anxious, he decided to dive deeper — learning sterile techniques, growing his own mushrooms, and eventually mastering dual-extraction methods.During his training at the Nutrition Therapy Institute, Andrew studied biochemistry, herbology, and the art of extraction, which shaped his approach to creating clean, potent tinctures rooted in tradition and backed by modern understanding. He now grows Reishi, Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, and other species on organic substrates, producing extracts crafted for people who want honest, high-quality mushroom tinctures and powders without grain fillers or mycelium.Through Bloomcap Naturals and his work in functional nutrition, Andrew helps people connect with the world of fungi, understand the science behind them, and use them as allies in supporting their body's natural balance.When he isn't cultivating mushrooms, you'll find him outdoors in Colorado, crafting educational content, or diving into the microbiome research that continues to inspire his work.Bloomcap NaturalsInstagramintelligentfoods88@gmail.com**Timestamps for the topics discussed can be found on this episode's NTI PodTalk pageAre you ready to start your journey as a Nutrition Therapist Master?

## **The Man in the Mirror – Proverbs 19**Proverbs 19 serves as a spiritual mirror, moving beyond theoretical suggestions to provide practical, life-changing wisdom. It challenges us to look honestly at our character, our relationships, and our plans, reminding us that while we may craft many schemes, only God's purposes will truly stand.### **Core Themes of Proverbs 19*** **Integrity Over Income:** God measures us by our character, not our material success. It is far better to be poor and walk in honesty than to be wealthy and crooked (v. 1). True maturity involves taking responsibility for our own folly rather than shifting the blame to God (v. 3).* **The Cultivation of Wisdom:** Wisdom isn't automatic; it is built through experience and sometimes through painful seasons of sanctification. Pursuing wisdom is described as an act of self-love—building ourselves from the inside out (v. 8).* **Relational Health:** Our maturity is often revealed by what we can let go of. "Good sense" makes a person slow to anger, and there is glory in overlooking an offense (v. 11). This extends to the home, where a prudent spouse is a gift from the Lord, and constant contention is compared to a relentless, destructive drip (vv. 13-14).* **Sovereignty and Discipline:** While we make many plans, God's purpose prevails (v. 21). We are called to discipline our children with hope and consistent love (v. 18) and to live in the "fear of the Lord," which leads to life, satisfaction, and rest (v. 23).### **Practical Applications**1. **Integrity Audit:** Identify where you are tempted to compromise character for comfort or approval. Choose one concrete step to prioritize integrity this week.2. **Anger & Offense:** Pinpoint a recurring trigger in your life. Practice being "slow to anger" by intentionally overlooking a minor offense.3. **Surrendering Plans:** Name a major worry or plan. Pray specifically for God's purpose to take precedence over your own agenda.
