Jordan's journey began with a devastating diagnosis of Crohn's disease, a severe inflammatory bowel condition that left him wheelchair-bound after consulting 69 medical experts. After losing over 80 pounds and exhausting conventional treatments, he discovered a radically different approach rooted in whole foods, gut healing, and ancient dietary practices. The result: a complete transformation in his health. Jordan went on to become the author of more than thirty books and founder of multiple natural health companies. In this conversation, he shares insights from his newest book, The Biblio Diet, which explores how biblical-era food practices align with modern research on metabolism, inflammation, and the microbiome.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Red meat and grains as controversial superfoods Modern agriculture and nutrient depletion The role of supplementation in modern nutrition Parenting and raising children with a real-food lifestyle The psychological and spiritual dimension of healing (hope and belief)   More from Jordan Rubin: Book: The Biblio Diet by Jordan Rubin Website: thebibliodiet.com Instagram: @jordansrubin   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Grains surge higher on war uncertainties, food inflation fears, and skyrocketing energy prices; exports sales solid for corn; STATS Canada's plantings estimates; western plains missing out on important rains.

Wheat led the grain surge higher Friday and week over week as conflict continues in the Middle East. Cattle futures posted sharp losses Friday. Sue Martin of Ag & Investment recaps the trade.

Crude oil hit $90 a barrel on Friday as war premium continued to bring money flow to the markets. Grains and oilseeds were up sharply as well led by wheat and soybeans while corn followed behind. What does all of this volatility and upside momentum mean for producers on the cusp of spring planting season in the U.S. and does it bring opportunity to manage risk? DuWayne Bosse with Bolt Marketing joins us for a conversation on today's show. Find more at https://www.boltmarketingllc.com. Another Friday, another sharply lower day in cattle futures. As we see volatility and strength in crude oil, grains and equities it seems the opposite is happening in the cattle trade. Scott Varilek with Kooima Kooima Varilek joins us to discuss if there are warning signs we need to be paying attention to in the cattle market along with perspective on the war volatility elsewhere in the trade. More at https://www.kkvtrading.com. Also, in Segment Two, we listen back to an excellent conversation about soybean cyst nematode that Susan Littlefield had during Commodity Classic. She is joined by Horacio Lopez-Nicora, Assistant Professor and Provost's Early Career Scholar, Soybean Pathology and Nematology at Ohio State University.

Corn and wheat slip while beans hold steady; Middle East war has markets on edge; China import demand expected to slip as they lower GDP targets; winter wheat crop condition update.

Grain futures gained steam throughout the day Thursday, with wheat finishing 20 cents higher. Livestock futures were mixed. Mike Zuzolo of Global Commodity Analytics breaks down the trade.

More volatility was seen across the markets on Thursday with crude oil hitting the $80 per barrel mark while the Dow Jones was down around 1,000 points on the day. Grains and oilseeds were higher led by a sharp rally in wheat while it was a mixed session in livestock. Bryan Doherty with Total Farm Marketing joins us to discuss risk management amid volatility, the question of whether or not we are losing corn acreage due to fertilizer challenges and much more on today's show. Find more at https://www.totalfarmmarketing.com. Also, the livestock trade was quieter on the day Thursday. Who is going to win the leverage battle in the cattle complex? That's one of many items discussed on this week's episode of Cattle Chatter as Susan Littlefield talks once again with Brad Kooima from Kooima Kooima Varilek. In Segment One, we share a conversation from Commodity Classic as Farm and Ranch Media's Corryn La Rue talked with Nathan Keane from the National Association of Wheat Growers.

Grains mixed as markets assess war threats; US to provide insurance and protection for Persian Gulf traffic; crop insurance rates set for spring crops.

Grains finished quietly lower while cattle futures posted sharp gains Wednesday. Arlan Suderman of StoneX recaps the trade's factors. Topics: - Why March 31 is a pivotal day for grain trade - Fertilizer surges higher with Strait of Hormuz disruptions - Brazil harvesting a massive soybean crop - Cattle futures correct from last week's downturn

We sit down with Brian, longtime NCAA golf coach and founder of Golf Cask, to explore a lifestyle that blends golf, whiskey, and cigars into one intentional experience. From the first tee to the 19th hole, he shows how to choose pours that match the moment, pair cigars that elevate rather than overwhelm, and design “whiskey golf trails” that start with a stick, find the right bottle, and finish on a course that fits the mood.Brian shares how an evening in an Irish pub sparked the vision for a community built on five pillars: golf, whiskey, cigars, travel, and connection. We dig into the craft—why rye steals his heart with herbal punch, how single barrels demand decisive timing, and when a mellow corn or high-rye bourbon can surprise you. We compare links and parkland courses, then map pairings to terrain: sea-breeze malts for open dunes, caramel-rich bourbons for tree-lined fairways, and fuller cigars when the whiskey goes light and airy. You'll hear how clubs are expanding whiskey programs, venturing into private barrel picks, and turning tastings into member magnets.This conversation also reveals the practical side: building a 100-page magazine, using AI to tighten copy and speed creative, capping events at a dozen to keep the vibe right, and traveling smart for Irish season with bottle limits and duty-free strategy. We talk stateside vs European culture—party during the round or save it for the pub—and why the best pour is the one shared with the right people after the right day.

Grains mostly higher last week; uncertainty abounds with Iranian war; weather improving in time for growing season; world FOB update.

This message came from a deep personal conviction about community and what we've lost.In Acts 2, we see the early Church fully devoted to one another. They shared life, meals, prayer, resources, and responsibility. Community wasn't optional. It was essential.During COVID, we saw people step up in crisis. We checked on each other, helped each other, and stayed connected however we could. But crisis response isn't the same as ongoing devotion. Crisis is always happening, just quieter.Isolation became one of the enemy's greatest tools. Families suffered. Churches suffered. People stopped believing they needed each other. Convenience and technology created a false sense of connection, and many drifted away from community altogether.Scripture reminds us we are one body, not disconnected parts. A body part can't function on its own. God created us uniquely, but our uniqueness was meant to be brought together for something greater.True community doesn't just care for who is present. It pursues those who are missing. That takes sacrifice. Time. Energy. Intentionality.Jesus wasn't calling us to comfortable faith, but useful faith. Hot heals. Cold refreshes. Lukewarm does nothing.The call is simple but costly: stop living isolated lives and start being devoted to one another. Invite people in. Reach out. Serve. Listen. Care. Because when we truly live as one body, the love of Christ becomes visible to the world.

Grains push higher to end the month, led by wheat; export sales disappointing; weather improving across the Northern Hemisphere.

Production is steady. Prices dipped. But nearly 5 million birds are gone – and migration season is just getting started.BEEF: Harvest rose to 541K head, but we're still running well behind last year. Middle meats are inching higher, especially strips, while chucks soften and grinds slip again (for now). Production isn't growing. Plan accordingly.POULTRY: Production is up 2% year over year, but the early-year price run just stalled. Wings, breasts, and tenders dipped slightly. Meanwhile, avian flu hit hard again, and spring migration could make things interesting.GRAINS: Soy oil is moving higher for a second straight week, surprising given the supply. Corn slipped back, wheat flat. Right now, soy has the spotlight.PORK: Bellies climbed again to $138 and still look headed higher. The rest of the complex is steady and balanced. Nothing dramatic… yet.DAIRY: Dairy has direction. Block jumped, butter keeps recovering, barrel ticking up. Momentum is building.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Beef is tight. Bellies are climbing. Birds are under watch. The seasonal shift may bring more than warmer weather.BEEF: Production is down 10% YTD, with last week at just 516K head. The smallest herd in 75 years keeps supply tight as spring demand builds. Strips and ribeyes look ready to lead a March run – and thin meats may feel it first.POULTRY: Production is up 2%, but hatch rates under 79% raise questions. Wings dip while breasts hold steady. Thirteen new avian flu cases hit 550K birds – just as migration ramps up.GRAINS: Soy keeps climbing on export deals and biofuel demand. Corn and wheat stay stuck. Three weeks into the rally, and now we see if it has legs.PORK: Bellies jumped to $146, nearing $150 faster than expected. Bacon will follow, and elevated pricing could stick into summer. The rest of pork remains a value, but for how long?DAIRY: Barrel up 5. Block up 6. Butter up 7.

We sit down with Alan Bishop for his record-setting return to talk about leaving a legacy brand, hand-building a new distillery at Old Homestead, and charting a bolder future where labels serve flavor, not the other way around. If you've ever wondered how a distiller reinvents without losing soul, this is a masterclass in making uncommon whiskey for common people.Alan opens up about the real arc of starting over: the existential first year, the stubborn stills, and the moment the “house character” finally reveals itself. He explains why pot still whiskey has a sweet spot, how to babysit barrels so wood doesn't swallow grain, and why he's transparent about using “whiskey distilled from a bourbon mash” to unlock honest flexibility—used oak, varied entry proofs, and subtle pre-distillation botanicals—while telling drinkers exactly what's in the glass.Then we dive into Wickliffe Bell, a cask-strength Black Forest Spirit at 139.2 proof that drinks shockingly gentle. Oats malted by Sugar Creek are peat-smoked with Irish turf, apples are smoked and loaded into a thumper, and the cut is clean like a white distillate before a short rest in new oak. The result is apple-oat warmth, soft phenolics that read like hickory-kissed smoke, and a choose-your-own-proof journey that blooms with a splash of water or lifts in a smoky highball. It's not bourbon. It's not scotch. It's a place in a bottle.We also map the broader canvas: Bartels & Bishop hitting distribution, limited Old Homestead bourbon kept intentionally scarce, the Rise & Shine trio (citrus, jasmine-chamomile, hickory bark) riding the thumpers, and a new absinthe that merges Old World method with New World botanicals. Along the way, Alan talks underdog grit, storytelling as craft, and building “Alcohol Acres”—a lakeside destination that pairs serious spirits with a weekend worth remembering.If you care about flavor, place, and where American whiskey goes next, press play.

Grains rallied overnight led by wheat and soybean oil strength on biofuel hopes, while livestock stayed mixed and outside markets surged on geopolitical tensions and energy strength.

Grains firm for the week, led by soybeans; wheat rallied on Black Sea war and weather; South American weather continues to improve; world FOB update.

Grains slip modestly while cattle surge on strong cash trade, ahead of Friday cattle on feed report; outside markets mixed with weaker metals and energy.

Valentine's Day is here, and while roses get the spotlight, the real story is in the markets. Ribeyes and tenderloins are holding steady, strips keep climbing, pork bellies are inching higher, and poultry hasn't lost its upward momentum. Add in a little lift from soy and a steady dairy tone, and this week feels like a seasonal shift — not a surge, but a quiet build as we move from winter toward spring.BEEF: Harvest edged higher to 536K head. Middle meats are steady, strips keep climbing, and thin meats are gaining momentum earlier than usual. Grinds paused — but don't get too comfortable.POULTRY: Strong production and strong demand keep prices trending higher. Breasts and tenders lead, wings finally steady.

Farmer Mac's Jackson Takach returns with a title update and a clear read on the new USDA outlook. He unpacks why USDA revised 2025 net cash farm income down by about 30 billion dollars, then sets 2026 at 158 billion dollars with roughly 44 billion dollars of support payments, about 30 percent of profits. Inputs are still high for grains and oilseeds, while protein sectors benefit from cheaper feed and steady demand. Land values look similar to 2025 with strength in cattle and recreational areas, caution in the Delta, and water-sensitive pockets out West. Jackson closes with rate risk, fertilizer and trade wildcards, and a simple plan for producers to time operating, intermediate, and long-term debt. Farmer Mac https://www.farmermac.com/   The Feed https://www.farmermac.com/news-events/the-feed/    National Land Realty https://www.nationalland.com USDA pegs 2026 net cash farm income at about 158 billion dollars after marking 2025 down by roughly 30 billion, with about 44 billion coming from support programs. Grains and oilseeds face tight margins from high inputs and softer prices, while cattle, hogs, and poultry see better profitability on lower feed costs and solid demand. Farmland outlook echoes 2025: firmer in cattle and recreation zones and near metros, softer pressure in the Delta across soybeans, cotton, and rice, and localized water risks in the West. Financial health remains okay at the sector level with lower debt-to-asset ratios and easing short-term interest expense, though planning matters. Key swing factors for 2026 include fertilizer supply, trade flows, drought, and biofuels demand; producers should set a written plan for operating, intermediate, and long-term debt. Farmer Mac updates: earnings call on February 19, quarterly webinars, The Feed, and a Farmland Price Index based on actual trades coming soon.

Grains continue higher, led by soybeans and fund buying; crop updates from South America; STATS Canada stocks report; Russian grains exports continue slow on adverse weather.

Most nutrition debates revolve around the wrong questions: Should we eat vegetables or not? Grains or no grains? Animal-based or plant-based? But as I discuss in this episode, framing nutrition solely by food categories overlooks the single most crucial factor: food quality.  Modern debates often miss that eggs aren't simply eggs, grains aren't just grains, and vegetables aren't uniformly nutritious. The way food is grown, raised, processed, and prepared makes an enormous difference — far greater than the simplified categories we typically argue about. I had this realization vividly when comparing an airport lounge breakfast in Atlanta to one in Norway. On the surface, both offered similar categories of foods – eggs, meat, fruit, yogurt — but the underlying reality was starkly different. One was laden with industrial additives, pesticides and inflammatory oils, while the other represented cleaner sourcing and superior quality. In practical terms, I've learned it's often simpler to cut out entire food groups than to consistently source high-quality versions within them.  Avoiding grains or poultry entirely can sometimes yield better health outcomes than struggling to find properly raised, chemical-free options.  Real health doesn't live in nutrition dogma but in understanding nuance. The same food can either support your metabolic health or quietly undermine it, entirely depending on how it was produced.  In other words, sometimes quality matters more than category. At the Kummer Household, we center our diet around animal-based foods — ideally raised ourselves or sourced from trusted farmers — and selectively incorporate plant-based options we've grown ourselves. Tune in to shift your nutritional focus from "which foods to eat" to the far more critical question: "where did this food come from, and what's in it?"

While there is a growing recognition of the importance of indigenous knowledge in agriculture, all too-often, First Nations people are being asked to fit in with an established model. What if we flipped the script to create food systems that are led by indigenous principles?That's what Jacob Birch is aiming to do in reawakening a native grains industry in Australia. He's a proud Gamilaraay man, scholar, Churchill Fellow, and entrepreneur who founded Yaamarra & Yarral, a wholesaler of ancient grains and retailer of stone milled flour.In this episode, Jacob shares his journey into native grains, beginning with biodiversity and landscape restoration, and expanding into food, culture, and economic sovereignty. He explains why native grasses are keystone species for Australia's ecosystems, how Indigenous Australians managed grain systems for tens of thousands of years, and why these histories, including bread-making, are still largely absent from mainstream narratives.In his Churchill Fellowship, Jacob draws on lessons from First Nations communities in North America, exploring what Indigenous-led food systems can look like when the goal is not export-driven scale, but healthy communities, country, and self-determined economic development.Sarah and Jacob discuss:The nutritional value of native grains and their role in climate resilience and food sovereignty.Why post–farm gate ownership is crucial for First Nations people.How subsidies could potentially support indigenous-led enterprises in food and agriculture.The realities of building a native grains industry; from land access to challenges in processing.Useful Links:Jacob Birch, Churchill Fellowship reportGrasslands Documentary Jacob Birch researcher profileModernising Indigenous Native Grains Processing | AgriFutures AustraliaWhite Earth NationFond du Lac Band of Lake Superior ChippewaNative Farm Bill CoalitionTribal Elder Food Box - Feeding America Eastern WisconsinFirst Nations Australians in Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry - DAFF2030 Roadmap - National Farmers' FederationFor more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.

What if some of the foods you eat every day are quietly working against your health? Amy Hudson sits down with Gerianne Cygan to break down food supervillains that may be doing more harm than good when we ingest them. They unpack insights from the Exercise Coach Nutrition Playbook, a practical resource used with clients at Exercise Coach Studios to simplify nutrition and target three major health troublemakers: high blood sugar, systemic inflammation, and poor digestive health. Tune in to hear how identifying and removing these food supervillains can create meaningful changes in how your body functions, and why a simpler nutrition framework might be the reset your health needs. Gerianne starts by explaining what "food supervillains" are. These are foods that consistently drive three major health problems: inflammation, high blood sugar, and poor digestive health. Gerianne covers why sugar earns the #1 supervillain spot. Sugar drives blood sugar spikes, crashes, cravings, and long-term insulin resistance. Over time, this pattern contributes to diabetes, metabolic syndrome, inflammation, and digestive issues. Learn how sugar hides in plain sight. Sugar shows up under dozens of names, including cane sugar, honey, maple syrup, maltodextrin, coconut sugar, and more. Many people don't realize how much sugar they're eating because the labels look "natural." Gerianne explains why fruit is still sugar, but not all sugar is equal. Whole fruits provide fiber and nutrients that slow absorption when eaten in moderation. Portion size and food pairing matter far more than cutting fruit out entirely. Why sugar is so hard to quit. Research shows sugar can trigger addictive patterns similar to drugs like cocaine.  Gerianne explains why grains and starchy foods are supervillains for many people. Grains like wheat, rice, oats, and corn often irritate digestion and raise blood sugar. Components like gluten, lectins, and phytates can damage the gut lining and block mineral absorption. Amy explains why grains are problematic. Poor digestion can trigger immune responses and systemic inflammation throughout the body. Many modern grains are highly refined and offer little nutritional value in return. Gerianne shares a practical tip for sugars, grains, and starches. Pairing them with protein and healthy fats slows blood sugar absorption. While this helps blood sugar control, it doesn't fully fix digestive issues. Why dairy makes the supervillain list. Dairy can raise blood sugar, promote inflammation, and worsen gut permeability. Lactose intolerance and immune reactions are more common than most people realize. Amy and Gerianne cover how to choose better dairy if you tolerate it. Grass-fed, organic, and fermented options like natural yogurt, kefir, aged cheese, butter, or ghee are better choices. Avoid sweetened, processed dairy with additives and emulsifiers. Gerianne explains why legumes and soy can be problematic. Legumes contain anti-nutrients that affect digestion and mineral absorption. They're especially challenging for people with existing gut or inflammatory issues. The protein problem with legumes. Legumes are low in essential amino acids and are less digestible than animal proteins. While they provide fiber, they're not complete proteins. Gerianne explains how personal training supports metabolic health beyond workouts. An experienced exercise coach can help you understand how food affects your blood sugar, inflammation, and performance. Why soy deserves extra caution. According to Gerianne, soy is heavily genetically modified and often sprayed with glyphosate. If consumed, organic and fermented forms like tempeh, miso, or natto are better options. Gerianne explains why artificial sweeteners, additives, and seed oils are supervillains. These ingredients disrupt gut bacteria, worsen insulin response, and trigger inflammation. They're linked to hormonal, neurological, and immune issues. Gerianne explains why alcohol makes the supervillain list. Current research shows no amount of alcohol is beneficial. Even moderate drinking increases cancer risk and worsens existing health conditions. Understand how alcohol behaves like sugar in the body. It spikes blood sugar and insulin just like other supervillains. Over time, it contributes to inflammation, poor sleep, and cardiovascular risk. Amy shares her personal "aha" moment about food. Sugar, grains, and alcohol all process like sugar in the body. Understanding this changed how she viewed everyday food choices. Amy highlights how to take action with a 30-day metabolic reset. Eliminating food supervillains for a short period helps reveal how your body truly responds. This approach focuses on learning, not perfection. Amy shares why working with a personal trainer helps connect nutrition decisions to real-world energy, strength, and recovery. That context makes unhealthy food choices harder to ignore and better habits easier to keep.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!
