Podcasts about plants

This week, I'm joined by Simon Hill—nutritionist, physiotherapist, best-selling author, and host of The Proof podcast—for a rich conversation on what it truly means to live a long, vibrant, and intentional life.Simon has dedicated his career to breaking down complex nutritional science into accessible, actionable wisdom. After witnessing his father suffer a heart attack at 41, he shifted from physiotherapy to earning a Master's in Human Nutrition—and has since become a trusted voice in the global wellness space. His book The Proof Is in the Plants topped the charts, and his podcast has reached millions with evidence-based insights on diet, movement, longevity, and mental well-being.In this episode, we talk about the power of plant-rich eating (and why it doesn't have to be all-or-nothing), how to optimize your health without fear or restriction, and the markers that really matter when it comes to living well. We also touch on the myths that get in the way of sustainable wellness—and what he wishes more people knew about protein, supplements, and lifestyle medicine.Whether you're deep in your wellness journey or just beginning to ask deeper questions about your health, Simon offers grounded, science-backed tools that will help you cut through the noise and make informed choices that serve your future self.Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome back to Sus Art Club — where creativity gets to grow slow, weird, and real. This week we sit down with Cristina Victor, a Cuban-American multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans ceramics, performance, writing, community building, and radical caretaking.We talk art school, studio scraps, dog love, and how mentorship, migration, and Miami shaped her creative voice. Cristina shares how slowing down, nurturing home, and tending plants all connect to her artistic evolution — and why being a creative sometimes means walking away from the work that no longer serves you.We get into:

What if the solution your skin needs isn't in a bottle—but in a plant?This week on the She Built It® Podcast, I'm joined by Tammy Demos, founder of KLEOS+KLEA, whose journey to heal her own skin led her to challenge the entire skincare industry. From co-founding two beauty brands to starting over with nothing but aloe vera and a vision, Tammy shares how nature, resilience, and a bathroom apothecary became the foundation of a brand built on truth.We talk about what's really missing in “clean” skincare, how nutrient-stacking works, and why going fully natural was the boldest (and smartest) move she's ever made. Her story is one of radical simplicity, scientific curiosity, and a mission to reconnect us with the power of plants.Whether you're passionate about skincare, love hearing stories of reinvention, or just need a reminder to trust your instincts—this one's for you.

This week on Possibly, we're looking at a practice called assisted migration – physically moving organisms whose habitats are shifting due to climate change. Should humans intervene to help species keep up with climate change?

Episode 07 - Ben Malcom: The Spirit Pharmacist This all new episode of the Psychedelics Then and Now Podcast features an all new interview with the ever wise and important Ben Malcom, The Spirit Pharmacist. Ben's knowledge of psychedelic compounds, drug interactions, safe use and pharmacological histories holds a unique place in today's psychedelic culture.

THIS WEEK on CP - OUR NEXT CP LIVE podcast! And we head to Indiana with our very own Ben Futa. Botany & Co. in South Bend, Indiana is dedicated to “empowering more people to plant more plants in more places!” In a town that has seen more than its share of social, economic, and environmental challenges in the past few decades, Botany & Co., Ben's dream come true, is stimulating community, biodiversity, economic growth, and joy.  It was bitterly cold in South Bend last March, but Botany Shop was warm with sharing, with growing, and with community – all of which you can hear in this conversation. The full cohort of the ten 2024/2025 transformative CP LIVE experiences is right now being crafted by the CP LIVE team into a powerful documentary film experience, sharing the many–often surprising and unseen–ways that (big G) Gardeners cultivating their places with care grow us ALL better. And when we see the full power of Gardeners, we value them more appropriately. When we value and support them, they can grow our world better, even more beautifully, more intentionally, and more effectively. This July 4th week here in the U.S., as we think about the privileges, opportunities and responsibilities of being citizens of our places, we're so pleased to share forward this conversation with Ben, a remarkable plantsperson, ecosystem and community steward, and regular host here on Cultivating Place.  For much more about the CP LIVE documentary film in-process:  ➡️ cultivatingplace.org/film to see, share, and support for yourself

Sleep detoxifies our brains! Refined sugars, junk food, and late-night snacking can interfere with sleep. If you want better sleep, eat earlier in the day. For the best sleep, have your last meal around 5:00 p.m. If you're waking at night to urinate, intermittent fasting and a low-carb diet can help. Inflammatory foods, such as grains, can also interfere with your sleep. High carbohydrate diets increase your need for vitamin B1, which reduces anxiety and tension.Kefir contains probiotics that can build up serotonin, which turns into melatonin, the sleep hormone. L. reuteri yogurt also contains helpful probiotics to improve sleep. Consume ½ cup daily; it doesn't have to be before bed.Try the following tips for better sleep to help you wake up early feeling refreshed and energized:•Sleep in a 65 to 68 degree room•If you have cold feet at night, try sleeping with warm socks•Plants in the room can help oxygenate the space and improve sleep•The darker the environment, the better Light inhibits melatonin. Blue light from your computer or phone stimulates energy, while infrared lighting helps you wind down. Around 50% of the sun's rays are infrared and can penetrate several inches into the body. Infrared light helps you make vitamin D, which is vital for sleep and increasing melatonin. Since culture has pushed us away from sun exposure, sleep quality has declined. Alcohol will make you feel tired, but it interferes with deep sleep. Caffeine, tea, coffee, and chocolate act as stimulants and prevent sleep. Increase exercise to improve sleep. Stretching and massage can also help you relax. Here are a few more deep sleep tips that can significantly improve sleep quality:•Sleep on your right side•Focus on nose breathing •Reduce stress for better sleep•Ensure adequate sodium intake to maintain healthy cortisol levels •Increase potassium intake •Consume magnesium glycinate powder 1 hour before bed •Sound machine •Binaural beats •Use essential oils (Spikenard, vetiver)Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting. He is the author of the best-selling book The Healthy Keto Plan, and is the Director of Dr. Berg Nutritionals. He no longer practices, but focuses on health education through social media.

For most of human history, survival depended on eating the foods that gave us the most nutrients with the least effort. That usually meant animals, which are dense in protein, fat, and bioavailable vitamins and minerals. But in recent years, we've been told that plants are the true superfoods.  Raw kale in your smoothie? Spinach salads every day? The darker and leafier, the better, right? Not quite. In this episode, I dive into the real story behind plant-based foods and the antinutrients they contain, as well as how they compare to animal-based sources of nutrition.  We'll talk about why humans evolved to thrive on meat, how plants defend themselves with chemical compounds like oxalates, lectins and goitrogens, and what all that means for your health. And I'll share practical tips for how to prepare the least toxic plants safely — when and if you choose to include them in your diet. After struggling with IBS for over 30 years, I fixed my gut issues through a radical shift in how I approached food. It wasn't about chasing superfoods or stacking more supplements. It was about eliminating the things that were holding me back, and embracing the nutrient-dense, low-toxin foods that our ancestors relied on for thousands of years. If you're eating spinach every day or downing kale smoothies because they're “healthy,” you might want to take a closer look at what those foods are actually doing to your body. And if you've avoided organ meats because of the taste, I'll share a simple way to get their benefits without having to touch a skillet. This episode isn't about fearmongering or food dogma. It's about reclaiming clarity, understanding what's actually nourishing, what's neutral, and what might be slowly working against you.  Learn more: Plants vs. Meat: Why I Stopped Eating Veggies: https://michaelkummer.com/plants-vs-meat/  49: From Almonds to Spinach: Dr. Schindler on Avoiding Common Dietary Traps: https://www.primalshiftpodcast.com/49-from-almonds-to-spinach-dr-schindler-on-avoiding-common-dietary-traps/  6 Benefits of Beef Liver I Wish I Had Known About Sooner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuoJaIXdAYI In this episode: 00:00 Intro 00:36 Debunking common food myths 00:53 Overview of today's topics 01:34 The benefits of animal-based diets 03:15 Introduction to plant-based diets 05:44 Mitigating plant toxins 07:59 Best and worst plant foods 10:36 Final recommendations and conclusion Find me on social media for more health and wellness content: Website: https://michaelkummer.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MichaelKummer Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/primalshiftpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/michaelkummer/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/mkummer82 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/realmichaelkummer/ [Medical Disclaimer] The information shared on this video is for educational purposes only, is not a substitute for the advice of medical doctors or registered dietitians (which I am not) and should not be used to prevent, diagnose, or treat any condition.

Sometimes we worry too much about emerging technologies that we forget that there are powerful natural solutions as well, say like photosynthesis that takes carbon dioxide and water out of the air and converts it into chemical energy. Plants, especially hard wood trees, are the superheroes of the carbon cycle. The water cycle is essential for life. The problem is when human activity gets in the way of the earth's processes that are trying to achieve balance for a livable planet. Maybe we should try to help the earth instead of fighting against it? As part of our “getting back to nature” episode, we have the privilege to talk to Flora Moon of Expressworks on nature-based solutions to climate change. We need to keep our minds open to different kinds of solutions for the Energy Transition and Flora is one of those experts we need to listen to. If we can better understand natural processes like the carbon cycle and the water cycle and help it along a little bit, we will have a powerful ally in the energy transition.referenceshttps://www.nature.org/en-us/what-we-do/our-insights/perspectives/natural-climate-solutions/https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2022/05/19/what-you-need-to-know-about-nature-based-solutions-to-climate-change

Some plants can be considered “drama queens,” unafraid to show that they are unhappy with something in their environment. Knowing these plants and what these signs mean will help you to better understand what's going on in your garden. Read the tea leaves with us and learn the signals these trigger plants are putting out. Featured shrub: Pinky Winky panicle hydrangea.

You want to enjoy every second spent outdoors in pursuit of your hunting goals. But in the summer, the outdoors like to fight back.

This week on Cultivating Place, guest host Abra Lee is joined in conversation by someone whose path into horticulture is both inspiring and honest—Richard M. Smith, director of the School of Professional Horticulture at the New York Botanical Garden. Richard grew up in Belle Glade, Florida—folks there call it Muck City, thanks to their deep, rich soil. And while Richard didn't start off in horticulture, that love for plants was always in him. Now his career is focused on helping people from all walks of life find their way into this field—building careers, finding purpose, and growing something meaningful. As someone who is growing more than just plants, Richard is all about access, mentorship, and ensuring the door stays open behind him. Enjoy! Cultivating Place now has a donate button!

Sarah went to Vail Pride and is getting very emotional about her LGBTQ journey, the self-doubt she's grappled with, and her goal of self-acceptance. We explore why we're often hardest on ourselves and more accepting of others. Sarah talks about a study on rule followers, and we speculate about why people follow rules even when no one would know if they broke it. We discuss why procrastination can be about avoiding feelings that make us uncomfortable rather than the task itself. Sarah's plant stealing lifestyle continues, and she is having guilt about some *leaves* she picked up off the ground. We debate whether private companies should be allowed to "own" celestial bodies.Our Favorite Bits19:26 - Recent study finds that people might be more honest than we thought30:33 - "Someone's having a good time".

Your everyday habits might be accelerating aging, and this episode reveals what to do instead. You'll learn how specific plants trigger powerful longevity pathways and how to eliminate the hidden toxins disrupting your hormones, brain, mitochondria, and overall health. This is a masterclass in biohacking from two experts who've spent decades researching how to upgrade the human body. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey is joined by Darin Olien, environmental health expert, bestselling author of Fatal Conveniences, and co-host of the Netflix series Down to Earth with Zac Efron. Darin has traveled the globe uncovering forgotten plant compounds, investigated the most overlooked environmental toxins, and now works with leading scientists and governments to bring these breakthroughs into functional medicine and human performance. Together, they break down: • How rare plant compounds like osmotin support adiponectin and mitochondrial repair • Why PFAS, synthetic fragrances, and EMFs are sabotaging your biology • How environmental toxins contribute to hormone disruption and infertility • What makes tap water so dangerous and how to fix it with simple filtration • Why microplastics and heavy metals are harder to avoid than ever • The role of habit design, detox protocols, and indoor air quality in biohacking longevity • Why removing toxins first leads to better results in fasting, ketosis, nootropics, and cold therapy This episode delivers practical tools for building resilience, improving detox capacity, and navigating the modern world with awareness. You'll also get insights into the systems that have failed to protect public health and how personal action can create collective change. If you're interested in senolytics, sleep optimization, neurohacking, and smarter ways to upgrade your environment, you'll find those topics explored in depth throughout this channel. Whether you're detoxing from hidden toxins or optimizing with Danger Coffee, this conversation aligns with the core principles of Smarter Not Harder and the mission of Upgrade Labs.
