"Every community has different values, and every community should have different choices. And that's why local food is so important so that local communities and local farmers can decide what's most important to them and how they want to connect the people who grow our food with the people who are seeking nourishment." —Andy Naja-Riese "The health of our Farmers Market is really dependent upon the health of our farmers." —Tanner Keys Wonder why local food sometimes costs more, or if it's really worth the effort to shop there?

In the U.S., nearly one in five children are living with obesity, and over a quarter of adolescents aged twelve to nineteen are prediabetic.

In this episode, we hear from three innovative chefs working in school nutrition who are transforming the school cafeteria. They share what goes into creating delicious and nutritious school lunch programs that set children up for success, even under tight budgets and strict guidelines.

The concept of Food as Medicine has been central to Biological Soil Management, drawing a clear connection between human health and turf health. Just as proper nutrition helps our bodies build natural immunity and resist disease, balanced fertility programs help turf recover from stress, develop stronger roots, and support healthy soil biology.In this episode, we revisit one of Jerry's lectures given over a decade ago in Australia, where he discusses the importance of nutrition for long-term health. While his focus here is on human health, he often highlights the parallels to plant health and the role of nutrition in building resilience.At EarthWorks, this philosophy continues to guide our fertility approach, with natural products like Replenish fertilizers and CalVantage designed to build healthy soils and stronger turf.Visit EarthWorks at: https://www.earthworksturf.com Podcasts: https://www.earthworksturf.com/earthworks-podcasts/ 2 Minute Turf Talks: https://www.earthworksturf.com/2-minute-turf-talks/

Food insecurity is a systemic public health issue that needs to be addressed because reliable access to healthy food is critical to positive health outcomes. Health care partnerships are forming to improve access to healthy foods in some states, including Massachusetts, which is at the forefront of addressing food insecurity with programs that allow Medicaid funding to be used to address social determinants of health. “I would push back on the idea that things like food and housing are not actually medical,” says Jennifer Obadia, senior director of health care partnerships at Project Bread, a nonprofit focused on creating a sustainable, system-wide safety net in Massachusetts for anyone facing hunger. “Now, I understand they're not pharmaceutical,” she adds. “But we know that 80% of a person's health is determined by social and environmental factors.” In this week's episode, Jennifer Obadia speaks with Movement Is Life's Sonia Cervantes about food insecurity, Project Bread's mission, lessons learned over the years and shares a call to action for listeners. Project Bread's FoodSource Hotline (1-800-645-8333) is the food assistance line for all of Massachusetts, whether you need help paying for food and don't know where to start or you're simply curious about ways to boost your food budget or save on groceries.

Real healing asks something of you. It's not a product you take. It's a path you walk. And the first step is choosing to actually begin.We have to talk about something that might sting a little.Because I can't tell you how many times I've heard, “I've tried everything.” And I get it. I've said that, too. But if we're being radically honest? Trying everything is often just trying a lot of things halfway. Jumping from one quick fix to another, hoping something sticks. Hoping something works without having to fully commit.That's not healing. That's surviving. That's symptom management. And if you're here for that, I'll tell you now - this isn't the podcast for you.But if you're here because you are done living in cycles of survival... If you're here because you're ready to break generational patterns, to claim a new way of being - for yourself, for your children - then this is the place for you.Thanks for listening!

Is your “healthy” diet making you sick? If you're battling fatigue, brain fog, bloating, or stubborn weight despite eating “right,” the problem may not be what you eat—but how your body processes it.Our guest, Ali Miller, is an integrative functional medicine practitioner and registered dietitian who's helped thousands uncover the hidden links between food, inflammation, hormones, and mental health. Her food-as-medicine approach blends hard science with personalized strategies that work in the real world.In this episode, you'll learn:How “healthy” habits may be harming youThe role of blood sugar in energy, mood, and weightThe connection between stress, gut health, and inflammationIf you've been doing everything “right” but still feel wrong, Ali's insights will help you take back control of your health.Quotes:“Giving up snacking and being conscious of carbs and really looking to balance out those carbs from whole food selections, and then having a protein or a fat paired with them, is a game changer in the beginning, and you can do that at any age.”- Ali Miller“Freedom comes with discipline and responsibility, but once we're able to have confidence in what we're putting in our body, it becomes really easy.”- Ali Miller“We are emphasizing health as this meta skill for the entire family. And we know that physical health is the precursor to mental health in so many ways.” - Matt BeaudreauKey Takeaways:Healthy Isn't Always Healthy – Even nutrient-rich foods can trigger inflammation or imbalance if they don't work for your body.Blood Sugar Matters for More Than Weight – Fluctuations can impact mood, energy, mental clarity, and cravings.Gut Health is Central to Overall Health – A compromised gut can lead to systemic inflammation and hormonal imbalances.Stress Directly Affects the Body – Chronic stress can disrupt digestion, immunity, and blood sugar regulation.Food is Medicine – The right foods can heal and restore balance, while the wrong ones can silently undermine health.Personalization is Key – One-size-fits-all diets often fail; solutions must be tailored to each person's needsConclusion:Ali Miller's work proves that lasting health isn't about following the latest diet trend—it's about understanding your body's unique needs and using food as targeted medicine. By addressing blood sugar balance, gut health, and stress, you can eliminate hidden triggers, restore energy, and feel like yourself again.Your body is always giving you feedback. The question is—are you listening?

What happens when a 16-year-old boy runs away from chemotherapy—and survives? In this gripping episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Jamie Belz sits down with Billy Best, the teen who became a national sensation in 1994 when he fled conventional cancer treatment in search of something different. Diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, Billy rejected chemotherapy after watching it ravage his aunt's health and instead placed his trust in faith, intuition, and the wisdom of thousands of everyday people who reached out to introduce him to a whole new world of natural healing. Billy's story is more than a medical anomaly—it's a powerful testimony of medical freedom, holistic healing, and the suppressed potential of natural medicine. His healing protocol included nutritional therapy, Essiac tea, and 714X lymphatic injections, along with a radical mindset shift, spiritual surrender, and a deep belief in the body's ability to heal. Within months, his cancer was gone. Billy didn't just survive. He healed. And in the early days of his recovery, he believed—with everything in him—that his story would change the world. That people would wake up. That natural medicine would finally be heard. That the truth would matter. But it didn't. Instead, Billy faced the crushing reality of censorship, media manipulation, and corporate control. His miraculous outcome wasn't celebrated—it was buried. Stories were pulled at the last minute. Reporters were silenced. And the very system that claims to be searching for a cure wanted nothing to do with the one he'd found. In this episode, you'll discover: The viral true story behind Billy Best's escape from chemotherapy What 714X is, how it works, and why it's banned in the U.S. How bio-individuality, nutrition, and mindset played key roles in his healing The power of belief, faith, and spirituality in the healing process Why Billy believed he'd found the cure for cancer—and what happened when no one wanted it The disturbing link between pharma-funded media, cancer fundraising, and censorship Insight into Codex Alimentarius, glyphosate, GMOs, and the global food agenda Why we must reclaim health freedom and medical sovereignty now more than ever Billy also speaks candidly about the emotional aftermath—how addiction, trauma, and grief shaped the decades following his recovery—and why he's still fighting, 30 years later, to help others awaken, question, and heal.

Think organ meats aren't for you? Think again. Chef James Barry joins Dr. Jen to explain how to sneak nutrient-dense organ meats into your meals—even if you're squeamish.In this episode of The Integrative Health Podcast, I'm joined by Chef James Barry—creator of Pluck, a delicious organ-based seasoning blend—for a conversation that might totally change the way you look at nutrition.I know what you're thinking: “Organ meats? No thanks!” But here's the deal—organs like liver, heart, and kidney are incredibly nutrient-dense and were staples in ancestral diets for good reason. The problem? Most of us in the modern Western world have lost touch with them—and are missing out on nature's original multivitamin.James shares why organ meats were so important to human evolution, how we've gotten away from eating nose-to-tail, and (my favorite part!) super simple ways to get them into your meals without the taste or texture battles. ✨ Yes, even your picky kids can enjoy them—my own kids love Pluck on popcorn and salad, and they have no idea what's in it!James Barry is a professional chef with 20+ years of experience, including cooking for celebrities. He's the founder of Pluck, an organ-based superfood seasoning that helps people enjoy the benefits of organ meats without the fuss. He's also the host of the podcast Everyday Ancestral and a passionate advocate for nose-to-tail eating.

Welcome! And thank you for listening. Most of us prefer a steady path—training just enough, eating just enough, and aiming for just enough discomfort to grow without getting hurt. But real growth often lives at the edges—whether it's altitude, mileage, or life itself. That's where the lessons tend to be clearer, sharper, and sometimes, more painful. Today's podcast is about testing limits—about racing at 12,000 feet, facing unexpected setbacks, and learning the importance of mobility, preparation, and focusing on what we can control. We'll explore ATP, AMPK, how troubleshooting in training can prepare us for bigger goals ahead. It's about choosing to see challenges not as failures, but as valuable data on the journey to something greater. I hope you enjoy the listen.

“An interdisciplinary approach to medicine is probably the way the future is going to go. There will be dieticians and a whole host of different people involved in helping someone to heal.” —Jonathan Carp For too long, we've been told that health comes in a medicine bottle or a doctor's office, but what if the real power lies in the food we choose every day? If you've ever felt frustrated by quick fixes that don't last or wondered how to make healthy changes that actually stick, you're not alone—and this episode is for you. Dr. Jonathan Carp is a board-certified dermatologist and the founder of Miracle Noodle, a company born from his passion for using nutrition and lifestyle to transform health. With years of experience helping patients and building a wellness brand, he's on a mission to make healthy eating accessible, enjoyable, and truly life-changing. Tune in as Justine and Dr. Carp break down the myths about comfort food, reveal how small changes can lead to big results, and share real stories of healing, grit, and the surprising joy of eating well. Meet Jonathan: A Dermatologist since 2000, Dr. Jonathan Carp started Miracle Noodle in 2006. In 2004, he had a patient who healed herself from lupus through nutritional and lifestyle modification. Since then, he has treated hundreds of patients through lifestyle modification, especially nutritional changes, with a special interest in auto-immune diseases. This has turned into a nutritional obsession that led to his learning about the health benefits of the konjac plant. While he still practices medicine, a significant amount of time is now also devoted to Miracle Noodle and exploring and testing healthy, healing food options based on traditional cultural diets. Dr. Carp firmly believes that all that ails us in the world today could be solved by going back a few generations and making sure that the nutritional wisdom of our ancestors is remembered and combined with the latest science. While Miracle Noodle keeps him busy, it has allowed him the resources to investigate and learn about the nutritional wisdom of the world and how to get products and knowledge out to the world through his patients and his companies.

If you've been nodding along with the wellness movement but still aren't sure how to take your first real step—this episode is your warm welcome in. People everywhere are waking up to a simple truth: real health doesn't come from pills, shakes, or short-term programs. Most of us have tried them—spent the money, followed the plans—only to end up frustrated or right back where we started. The missing piece? A strong foundation. And the good news is, it's not complicated—just a few practical, common-sense shifts can spark real, lasting change. Join Jamie Belz, host of the Nutritional Therapy & Wellness Podcast, and Mike Belz, CEO of the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA), as they break down the Foundations of Wellness into common-sense, doable action steps for anyone just beginning their health journey. This episode is packed with real talk, science-backed wisdom, and practical tips to help you pick your own adventure in a doable way. No more "all or nothing" attempts. Start over for the last time with one or a few of the easy but effective action steps you can incorporate today. If you're ready to stop feeling overwhelmed and finally start your wellness journey, this episode breaks it down into six simple, sustainable categories—what we call the Foundations of Wellness. You'll learn how to: Eat a nutrient-dense diet rooted in real, whole foods (not calorie math), following Weston A. Price principles and honoring your bio-individual needs. Optimize digestion, the root of all health, by chewing thoroughly, practicing mindful eating, and supporting stomach acid and enzyme function (see Episode 11 for more). Balance blood sugar with small, daily habits like walking after meals and pairing carbs with protein and fat (see Episode 28). Improve sleep through calming evening routines, avoiding stimulants before bed, and aligning with your circadian rhythm. Reduce stress with tools like the 4-7-8 breath, gratitude practices, and brain dumping— (see Episode 42). Incorporate movement you actually enjoy—walking, dancing, or strength training—while supporting lymph flow, bone density, and energy. You'll also hear real-life strategies like Mike's “gas station rule,” how to track wins without perfectionism, and why home-cooked meals and community support are game changers. Most importantly, we'll help you find your why—the motivation that keeps you going when things get hard. Whether you're trying to lose weight, heal your gut, regain energy, or just understand what “healthy” actually means, this episode gives you a practical, welcoming place to begin.

What if a single meal could nourish more than just a body—but also a soul?In this powerful episode of the ChangeMakers Podcast, host Andrew Bartolotta sits down with Courtney Johnson, the heart and visionary behind Culinary Care, a nonprofit delivering restaurant-prepared meals and emotional support to cancer patients and their families.Courtney's story begins with heartbreak: losing her father to stage IV lung cancer while still in high school. Fueled by grief and love, she launched Culinary Care in her early 20s with one goal—to help others facing what her family endured.“We had meals at our doorstep almost every day during my dad's treatment. Those were the bright moments we looked forward to.”What started with one meal and one handwritten flyer has become a transformative movement across Chicago and Dallas. Courtney explains how malnutrition causes 1 in 5 cancer deaths, and how a perceived sense of community can increase cancer survival rates by up to 25%.Listeners will learn about:The emotional and logistical challenges of launching a nonprofitHow Culinary Care fills a vital gap in outpatient cancer careThe importance of providing dignity, joy, and delicious mealsHow anyone—from monthly donors to companies—can help feed hope“We want to be the friend that never goes away… Even if the treatments stop, our care doesn't.”Culinary Care's work is a reminder that community is care—and that acts of kindness, no matter how small, have the power to change lives.

Are you one of the millions of Americans who eat the Standard American Diet? Even if you're not, you're likely at risk of developing pre-diabeties, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation. But, DON'T panic, because today's episode is packed with simple steps to help you take control of your blood sugar and lower your risk of diabetes and chronic disease.On this Salad with a Side of Fries episode, host Jenn Trepeck tackles the hard truth: many people are already pre-diabetic and don't even know it. From hidden insulin resistance to chronic inflammation, Jenn breaks down how the American diet and lifestyle are fueling a national health crisis. You'll learn how poor sleep, stress, a lack of fiber, and nutrient-depleted foods undermine your metabolic health—and what you can do today to take control and manage your risks. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE:(00:00) Why is the Standard American diet the recipe for pre-diabetes and diabetes, and what is insulin resistance(04:18) Metabolic health connects to every system, and the ultra-processed food dilemma(09:48) Why supplements are important(14:30) Everyone is pre-diabetic, unless. Nutrition: protein, fiber, quality fat(21:31) America's fiber problem and the role of the microbiome(26:55) Our society is sedentary(30:35) The impact stress and loneliness can have on your health(34:56) Are you sleep deprived(37:30) Let's talk about the environment and toxins(42:07) If you don't like it, don't eat it and focus on preventionKEY TAKEAWAYS:Most people eating the Standard American Diet are already pre-diabetic due to high consumption of ultra-processed foods, even if their labs don't reflect it yet. Modern farming, soil depletion, and long-distance transport have stripped our food of nutrients, making quality sourcing and supplementation essential.Staying ahead of metabolic disease means taking daily action—moving your body, managing stress, eating well, sleeping, and staying connected. Even a short walk after a meal can significantly reduce blood sugar spikes. Daily activity improves energy and focus, builds muscle, enhances insulin sensitivity, and monitors glucose levels.Just because a drink is labeled “prebiotic” doesn't mean it replaces real vegetables. Whole fruits and vegetables provide a variety of fibers that support gut health more effectively than most supplements or processed drinks. You can't supplement your way out of poor nutrition. Supplements are only as good as their quality. Many synthetic options don't break down or absorb adequately, making them useless. Food first, then smart supplementation.Chronic stress triggers hormonal changes that lead to insulin resistance and fat storage. The damage builds over time because most people don't recognize their stress. Managing stress is just as crucial as managing diet and exercise.QUOTES: (08:56) “Our food supply is ripening while in transit, not connected to the vine where nutrients come from.” - Jenn Trepeck(18:54) “Variety is your friend. Eat the rainbow.” - Jenn Trepeck(23:30) “I'm a big fan of supplements, but you cannot supplement your way out of poor nutrition. Food first, then mart supplementation.” - Jenn Trepeck(39:36) “Next time you need to replace a mattress or a pillow. Let's make sure it's a material that isn't going to off-gas toxins.” - Jenn Trepeck"It comes down to default vs design because the way our world is set-up around us, the default would easily be the recipe for pre-diabetes and diabetes. That's why we're here...unless you do this now." - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramMovember: Men's HealthReal People, Real Results: Shannon Nutrition Nugget: Ultra-Processed FoodGMO, Organic, and Local, Oh My!How to Cheat8 Domains of HealthAmerica's Fiber ProblemQ & A: SupplementsTick…Tick…BOOM

Renata shares her personal journey from overwhelmed working mom struggling with PCOS and insulin resistance to entrepreneur with a mission to redefine healthcare through culinary empowerment.
