Thelonious Cook leads the Mid-Atlantic Black Farmers Caucus. He launched the market at East Palmer Supermarket with the help of Navi Johnson.

On January 2nd, 2018, Christa Barfield read an email from her boss, sent back a resignation reply, and gave three weeks notice. Three weeks later she was on a plane to Martinique, alone, for the first time out of the country - turning 30 and looking for what came next. What she found was a family of Black farmers running a CSA. She had never farmed before. She has not stopped since.In this episode of NHA Today, Dr. Stephan Esser sits down with Christa Barfield, founder of Farmer Jawn, a 128-acre regenerative organic farm operation across three Pennsylvania counties, that has grown from 10 CSA families to a 100-person waitlist, two retail farm stores, and a new food-is-medicine corner store concept launching in the most medically underserved neighborhood in Philadelphia.Christa's work sits at the intersection of food access, food equity, health, and community. Her slogan: agriculture is the culture. Her mission: make the small farmer the center of the health system. Her next project: Corner Jawn.In this conversation you will learn:The moment Christa quit her healthcare job, booked a solo trip to Martinique, and found farmingWhat a CSA is and why the model works for urban food accessWhat sustainability actually means and why it cannot exist without profitabilityWhy Christa calls agriculture a communal sport and how community fills her back upThe Corner Jawn concept: a food-is-medicine corner store in a Philadelphia food desertWhy she charters a school bus every Saturday to bring city residents to her farmThe ancestral connection she feels putting her hands in soil as a Black farmerWhat the Farmer Jawn formula is and why she is bringing it to the NHA ConferenceHow to grow food even if all you have is a glass of water and some scallions────────────────────────────────────────LINKS AND RESOURCES────────────────────────────────────────Full episode and show notes: NHA Today on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgXfvjZj34HbsD3-47eEC2kjBWeIvNhHlSubscribe: https://www.healthscience.org/podcast/NHA Conference recordings (catch Christa's talk): https://checkout.healthscience.org/2026-nha-conferenceFarmer Jawn website: https://www.farmerjawn.coFarmer Jawn on Instagram: @FarmerJawn_Follow Dr. Esser on Instagram: @EsserHealth

Rod Stewart was supposed to play down in Chula Vista this past weekend but had to cancel an hour before showtime because of a "medical emergency." Fans were upset but what made it even worse was when he posted a video on his Instagram less than a day later doing something that really disappointed his fans... Coming off of a very eventful weekend, we figured it was a great time to play our favorite drinking game, Bombed at the Beach! Our contestants this week were V and Nelly, both of which wanted more drinks but seemed like they were already too far gone... Eddie has the superpower of bringing back the "Enchirito" from Taco Bell. Well it has happened yet again. Since fast food places are bringing back beloved items, McDonald's got on that train and switched back to frying their apple pies instead of baking them. This led us to find a list that ranks the best fast food deserts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Natalie Nicole, founder of Dulsa Life, joins Brian Nichols to reveal why Big Sugar wanted to keep him at 385 pounds and how the alternative sweetener industry is quietly destroying America's metabolic health. Natalie breaks down why roughly 70% of Americans are now battling chronic metabolic illness, how high fructose corn syrup hits your cells like a fire hose compared to the "garden hose" of real sugar, and why every pink, blue, yellow, and green sweetener packet at the grocery store is laced with maltodextrin, dextrose, or sugar alcohols that wreck your gut. They get into the Ozempic shortcut trap, the 10-year slow-poisoning timeline that precedes a type 2 diabetes diagnosis, and why SNAP benefits and Big Soda subsidies are making the problem exponentially worse for working class Americans.We expose the uncomfortable truth about why "zero calorie" sweeteners are one of the most successful marketing scams in food history... and why the same playbook Big Tobacco ran in the 60s is now running Big Sugar. Natalie shares the blueprint behind Dulsa - a functional sweetener built with organic monk fruit, allulose, prebiotic yacon root, and shelf-stable probiotics - and walks through how she's hijacking your body's natural GLP-1 production without the black box warnings. If you've ever flipped over a "healthy" nutrition label, shrugged, and told yourself "it's probably fine"... you need to hear this.Chapters :0:00 - Intro: Big Sugar's War On Your Health1:55 - Meet Natalie Nicole: From Red Pill To Sugar Fighter3:49 - I Was 385 Pounds And Drinking A Liter Of Mountain Dew Daily6:49 - Sugar Is A Slow Poison (The 10-Year Diabetes Countdown)8:21 - The Ozempic Generation & The GLP-1 Shortcut Trap11:15 - High Fructose Corn Syrup Is A Fire Hose To Your Cells14:56 - Path Of Least Resistance: Why We Keep Choosing Sugar16:49 - The Big Tobacco Playbook Is Now Running Big Sugar19:13 - Our Kids Have Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease21:19 - RFK Jr, The Food Pyramid, And Sugar's 600 Hidden Names23:18 - Aldi, Food Deserts & The Free Market Solution26:06 - What Dulsa Actually Is (Sweetener + Supplement + Probiotic)28:57 - Why Your Grandma's Food Doesn't Exist Anymore31:59 - Natalie's Final Message: You're Not Broken33:31 - How To Get Dulsa (Use Code: NICHOLS)Dulsa Life:Website: ⁠https://dulsalife.com/⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/dulsalife/⁠ Health Benefits: ⁠https://dulsalife.com/pages/health-benefits⁠ Discount Code: NICHOLS at checkoutStudio Sponsor:Cardio Miracle: ⁠https://cardiomiracle.com/tbns⁠ Referenced In Episode:Dr. Adrian Bejan / Constructal Law (Duke University) - prior TBNS guestJohn Odermatt / Plexus - Lions of Liberty Network colleagueCX Without the BS (Brian's business podcast)Lions of Liberty Network: ⁠https://www.lionsofliberty.com/⁠The Brian Nichols Show:Website: ⁠https://thebriannicholsshow.com/⁠Brian on socials: @BNicholsLiberty Order ⁠Cardio Miracle⁠ (⁠CardioMiracle.com/TBNS⁠) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

On today's show, BUZZ creator Michael Hemphill is buzzing about food ...  specifically a Roanoke, Virginia nonprofit dedicated to supporting farmers and fresh, local food for all: the Local Environmental Agriculture Project, aka LEAP. LEAP is celebrating another milestone – a harvest if you will – on April 14 when it cuts the ribbon to a new $250,000 pavilion at its West End Farmers Market. Michael chats about that and all of LEAP's incredible projects and program with executive director Maureen McNamara Best, a true buzz4good.

Here in Ohio, the largest number of food deserts can be found in rural areas.On this hour of All Sides, we're talking about the reasons behind the increase and what's being done to fortify food deserts.Guests:Marty Schladen, reporter, Ohio Capital JournalOhio Rep.

Food, Community, and Third Spaces with Michael Zarick (Third Space Indy) Host Chris Whonsetler welcomes Michael Zarick of Third Space Indy to the Okayest Cook podcast to continue a conversation on community and “third spaces” as places outside home and work that foster consistent connection and conversation. Michael shares notable meals from a new food-focused project with Amanda Gibson featuring Indianapolis restaurants Macizo and Wisanggeni Pawon, emphasizing owner stories and kitchen access, while Chris highlights a Greenfield coffee shop, Hitherto, filled with board games and game nights. They discuss why third spaces matter amid isolation, COVID-era habits, and phone-driven convenience, and how car-centric infrastructure, zoning, and suburban design discourage spontaneous community compared with pub culture and transit-rich cities. Michael describes merchandise plans (locally made mugs) intended to get people into local businesses, recalls Pizzeria Ruby in northwest Arkansas as a personal third space, and cites Flanner House's Flanner Farms and Cleo's Bodega addressing food access. They also touch on roller rinks, walking, bus riding, and Michael's ideal model: Abby Reckard's forthcoming Lille Bønne community space in a rezoned Dutch church.

Gayle Jones, an Emmy-winning sports producer for two decades, founded FuelBoxx, which offers snack kits for student athletes. After realizing that her own teen athletes depended on junk food for energy, she thought there must be a better way to get them the nutrition they need to perform. FuelBoxx helps bridge the gap between professional and student athletes by providing kits developed by sports dietitians to optimize performance. For every kit sold, another is donated to communities without equitable access to healthy food. Gayle shares her experiences with fundraising, her goals for scaling the business, and her mission to deliver food equity nationwide.

Milwaukee is grappling with a growing food desert crisis as seven full-service grocery stores have closed in Milwaukee County over the past year. Mayor Cavalier Johnson has addressed the issue, outlining his administration's efforts to improve healthy food access. However, many residents are concerned about the impact of these closures on their communities. The situation raises questions about the city's role in supporting local grocers and ensuring equitable access to nutritious food for all residents. The closures are sparking debate about potential solutions, including incentivizing new grocery store development and addressing underlying economic factors that contribute to food insecurity. Is Mayor Johnson up to the task of solving this problem?

Venice, IL Mayor Phillip White, Jr, joins Megan Lynch, detailing a $2.4 million grant that will allow for construction of a new grocery store in the city that is part of a public-private partnership. The city will own the land and the building, and a grocery store will run the operation. He points out that the nearest one to residents of Venice is 5-10 miles, with the closest in Granite City.

Come with us for a wander through the fertile grounds of possibility with James McLennon, the visionary behind Farm My School. Todays ep unearths how a patch of school soil can become so much more than a playground—it can nourish bodies, minds, and entire communities. From the thriving farm at Bellarine Secondary College to the ripple effects it's having on students, neighbours, and local food systems, James shares how education and regeneration can thrive side by side. This is a story about reimagining our schools as living, breathing ecosystems—places where compost becomes curriculum and connection becomes the harvest.

Seattle's brilliant solution to grocery stores fleeing due to rampant shoplifting? Force them to let competitors move in! Because nothing says "smart business policy" like watching Kroger shut down citing theft, safety issues, and hostile regulations, then demanding they can't block competition from opening in the same crime-ridden location. We dive into Seattle's latest legislative masterpiece that tackles food deserts by... completely ignoring why stores are closing in the first place. While politicians pat themselves on the back for "doing something," we explore the real reasons behind 25 break-ins at one restaurant, homeless encampments, and why even Whole Foods said "nope" to Capitol Hill. Think any grocery chain will rush to invest millions in Lake City now? What happens when you create policy that sounds compassionate but ignores basic business reality? Why do progressive cities keep doubling down on failed approaches while expecting different results? Hit that subscribe button if you're tired of politicians treating symptoms while the disease spreads, and let us know in the comments - would YOU open a grocery store in Seattle right now?

North Nashville has struggled with food insecurity for years, and the recent closure of their Kroger for renovations is making the situation worse. Nashville Banner reporter Sarah Grace Taylor joins host Marie Cecile Anderson to discuss her recent reporting on the food desert in 37208, alongside North Nash resident Carlos Partee.

Seattle allows rampant crime and homelessness, then acts shocked when businesses flee and residents face food deserts. After clearing downtown encampments, Mayor Bruce Harrell just shuffled the problem to residential neighborhoods like Lake City, where Fred Meyer finally said "we're done" and closed shop. Now Seattle's brilliant solution? Government-run grocery stores and "multi-pronged approaches" – everything except actually dealing with the shoplifting, drug addiction, and safety issues that drove businesses away in the first place. We dive into how the city's whack-a-mole homeless sweeps moved encampments two blocks down the street, why less than 5% of homeless accept actual housing, and how this predictable disaster is hitting the very communities Seattle claims to protect most. Is anyone surprised that businesses won't stick around when customers can't safely shop and inventory walks out the door daily? What's next – taxpayer-funded security guards for government grocery stores? Hit subscribe if you're tired of watching cities create problems, ignore solutions, and then blame "big corporate" when reality hits.

Reforming SNAP. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program—formerly known as food stamps—is designed to address nutritional gaps for economically disadvantaged Americans. But critics argue that SNAP's lack of selectivity when it comes to ultra-processed foods stokes the current epidemic of obesity and metabolic disorders. Nutritionist Carolina Schneider, MS, RD, joins us to discuss an opportunity to reform SNAP. She makes the case for emphasizing fresh, minimally processed food as eligible for purchase under SNAP. Also, she urges inclusion of vitamin D under SNAP benefits because of the pervasiveness of vitamin D deficiency, especially among SNAP recipients. Check out a hub for citizen activism at www.All4VitaminD.org. In Part 2, we shift to consideration of plant-based diets: What are their advantages, and what are potential pitfalls? 

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Carolina Schneider, MS, RD.

For many, integrative medicine has become an unattainable luxury, and healthy diet and lifestyle the prerogative of the privileged. Today's guest, Dr. Ramona Wallace, is attempting to change that. Trained conventionally as a DO, she undertook additional training and certification via the Institute for Functional Medicine to broaden her clinical skills. She practices primary care in an underserved community in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where she incorporates diet and lifestyle recommendations to address her patients' chronic conditions. Careful nutritional assessment has revealed that many of her patients, while overtly overweight, are decidedly malnourished. She has documented a wide range of deficiencies—of B vitamins, vitamins A, C, and D, critical minerals like zinc and magnesium, even full-blown scurvy. These are precisely the patients who are most likely to benefit from nutritional support. Discovering obstacles to compliance is a key element to effect their health transformations. Dr. Wallace believes that individualized care is the key to reversing long-standing health conditions. She mentors medical students in the first-of-its-kind Functional Medicine program at a medical school. She has also co-authored a landmark paper arguing for wellness self-care by doctors, to stave off burnout and to help them be better role models for patients.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Ramona Wallace.
