Podcasts about reclaim our health

We are what we eat. It's an axiom. We take it as a great truth that the better the food we take on to fuel our human engines, the better those engines shall hum. Our guest this week asks us to both embrace that truth and expand it one further: we are what our food eats.This is just one of the core principles of regenerative agriculture, a practice celebrated by our guest today. Ryan Pintado-Vertner is an activist and a strategic marketing impact expert who helps purpose-driven founders, CEOs, and their teams stay true to their mission through thoughtful marketing and business growth strategies. Ryan has also spent a good part of his career working in natural foods and consumer packaged goods and works at the intersection of what we consume and how that consumption affects our planet and our bodies.Ryan is also a noted enthusiast for the transformative potential of regenerative agriculture. Far from a niche concept, regenerative practices offer a powerful trifecta of benefits: sequestering carbon to combat climate change, producing more nutritious food, and fostering healthier ecosystems.As Ryan explains, the health of the soil is the cornerstone that enables plants to convey the best nutrient benefits to both humans and animals. He illuminates how regenerative agriculture's focus on building healthy soil can allow agriculture to become a net negative contributor to atmospheric carbon. While still in the early stages, hundreds of organizations worldwide are pioneering regenerative practices at various scales.However, regenerative agriculture is about more than just farming techniques. Ryan emphasizes how it represents a broader approach to life and relationships, one that honors the sacredness of every part of the ecosystem. Embracing regenerative principles means adding value rather than extracting it and recognizing that diversity is inherently essential for any system to thrive.As awareness of regenerative agriculture grows, it has the potential to not only heal our planet and nourish our bodies, but to profoundly reshape how we relate to one another and the natural world we inhabit. This week's show invites each of us to plant the seeds of a regenerative future, one nutrient-rich carrot at a time. Our great thanks to Ryan for joining us this week on Mission Forward.Links & NotesKiss the Ground - NetflixKiss the Ground ResourcesWhat Your Food Ate: How to Heal Our Land and Reclaim Our Health by David R.

I am excited to kick off a new series of episodes on the Alloutcoach Podcast called "Innovation Olympics" which will capture some of the most memorable messages and lessons from the Opening Ceremony of the global annual ideation competition in which innovators in healthcare become "Olympians" for about 16 days and exchange their inspiration with sports Olympians, champions and coaches, patient advocates, and senior leaders across different industries. I host this industry-first Olympic-style innovation event on behalf of my company Amedea Pharma which is called Medical Affairs Innovation Olympics #MAIO2022 and #MAIO2023. In this episode I share the opening presentation on September 18 from the latest 2023 event the slogan of which was "Reclaim Our Health, Revive Our Planet". In my remarks, I revisit the ultimate purpose and duty of healthcare professionals to enable the next generations to live longer and healthier lives as well as describe why the life science industry has to learn from the lessons from the Renaissance on leadership, equity, and social impact, ESG, DEI, among others. I share some of the latest research on polarization in healthcare, healthcare professional shortages, patient trust in physicians and the industry or the media, shifting landscape of clinical decision-making with a focus on the three themes of this year's event - advancing access, continuity, and quality of healthcare. 0:00 Episode Introduction and Olympic Theme Music 2:29 Medical Affairs Innovation Olympics #MAIO2023 Opening Ceremony - Dedication to the Next Generation 3:15 Longevity of the Children of our next Generations 4:47 Critical Dichotomy of Unprecedented Innovation in Healthcare vs Global Economic & Political Conflict 5:05 MELLODDY: Machine Learning Ledger Orchestration for Drug Discovery to shorted time for drug development 5:50 "We no longer live in the era of war" argument for peace 6:10 Why we are all in need of a new renaissance in healthcare: economic fears, polarization and its drivers, decreasing patient trust in physician authority, media or industry, healthcare professional shortage crisis 7:13 Growing challenge among patients in taking care of their health despite unlimited sources of medical information 7:43 Patient health extends beyond physical well-being to quality and sustainability of life 8:52 Breaking down the Renaissance to integrate it into Medicine 10:40 Summary of the Lessons from the Renaissance - 1)innovating by revisiting lessons from antique history, 2) integrating expertise across finance, banking, art, and science; 3) closing the leadership gap between generations; 4) make innovation accessing to the public - health equity 11:08 The Renaissance drivers of today: ESG, Corporate Social Responsibility, DEI 11:48 Access, Continuity, and Quality of Healthcare - Top 3 priorities and themes for the 2023 Innovation Olympics 13:10 The New Innovation Spectrum: from Inspiration to Incentive to Investment 14:24 Critical Need to link Medical contributions directly to Economic Prosperity and Healthcare Community of our planet I hope you find this glimpse into our Olympic village inspiring - look for more episodes from the Innovation Olympics series from some unforgettable Olympic champions and healthcare leaders in the future episodes!

This episode features a conversation between Phil Dillard, Founder of Thruline Networks, David Montgomery, a MacArthur Fellow, and Professor of Geomorphology at the University of Washington, and Anne Biklé, published science writer and public speaker. Together, they've recently published: What Your Food Ate: How to Heal Our Land and Reclaim Our Health, a book that builds on their trilogy of books about soil health, microbiomes, and farming.David is an internationally recognized geologist who studies the effects of geological processes on ecological systems and human societies. He is the author of several textbooks in his field and his work has been featured in documentary films, network and cable news, television, and radio.Anne draws on her background in biology and environmental planning to explore humanity's tangled relationship with nature through the lens of agriculture, soil, and food. Her writing has appeared in digital and print magazines, newspapers, and her work has been featured in radio and independent documentary films.In this episode, David and Anne talk about the power of regenerative gardening, the need for conventional agriculture to modernize rapidly, and address the primary issue with current agriculture: monocultures.Key Quote“Most of what feeds the world are not these big, mega farms. It's small farmers, most of whom are women. When you look at things on a global basis, it's not the North American grain farmer. I look at the incredible food waste, at least in North America, and it's like, do we really need to scale up if we're throwing 30 or 40 percent of our food away? And it's not just food we're throwing away, there was a lot of petrochemicals and a lot of agrochemicals and a lot of people's time that went into getting that kind of a yield, and we're throwing that away. That's just wasteful.” - Anne Biklé“In terms of individual consumer action, you look for the regenerative label in stores. People are starting to label food as regenerative now. A way that consumers can support that movement is to actually start eating that food, see how you like it. If you can connect with regenerative farmers at farmers markets and find out what they're doing and support them, supporting farmers who are doing the right thing by their land is a really good thing to do as a consumer. But it's not always possible to tell that when you go into a grocery store with the signals that we get of exactly how your food was sourced. And so there's also the idea of trying to exert political pressure on elected representatives.” - David MontgomeryEpisode Timestamps(02:18) David and Anne's current roles(11:48) Getting involved in their work(23:04) Collaborating with other scientists(29:46) Conventional versus modern agriculture(39:52) Addressing the problem of agriculture: monocultures(47:53) How to contribute to reforming agriculture globallyLinksDig2Grow.comPhil's LinkedInThruline Networks

On this episode, Nate is joined by “free range biologist” Anne Biklé and “broad-minded geologist” David Montgomery - a married duo who have been educating about the link between soil and human health for nearly a decade. As we continue to strip the land and soil of its life supporting capacity, our food has become less nutritious, even as we've received more calories. Has the age of ‘The Green Revolution' - accredited with preventing millions from famine - led us to a new epidemic of starvation in the form of micronutrients? How do our modern systems degrade the land, leaving us with lifeless dirt even more dependent on fossil inputs? Can we implement better agricultural practices that lead to lively and fertile soils, better health, and a reconnection with the land that feeds us? About Anne Biklé & David R.

Oh hey, it's Mimi again. Gotcha two for the price of one today, because we're speaking with David Montgomery and Anne Biklé. I'm sure they don't need an introduction, because I know at least some of you all will have at least one of their books in your exhaustive libraries. If you haven't heard of them, David and Anne are married, live in Seattle, and are a pair of writers. To quote them, "Dave is a broad-minded geologist and Anne is a free-range biologist with a bad case of plant lust." If that doesn't make you want to hang out with them, I don't know how much better I'm going to be able to do. The reason I wanted to talk to them is not just because their book,  What Your Food Ate, just came out, but also because they have a really great way of going back through the membrane of time and looking at some of the origins of our understanding about the connections between plants, soil microbiology, and our own health. I can't recommend the books highly enough. Dave's mustache is also the mustache to end all mustaches.  A list of some of their amazing works...

Delving into soil health is like peeling the layers of an onion back: new layers to soil health are brought to light every day. David Montgomery and Anne Bikle share what they learned and synthesized about soil health and food connections in writing their latest book: What Your Food Ate. As we learn about soil ecology and nutrient cycling, the urgency for caring for health from the soil up is increasingly apparent. David and Anne mention the importance of phytochemicals, micronutrients, fat balances, and microbial metabolites to plant and animal foods, and that new layers and directions for study continue to emerge. Overall, David and Anne encourage farmers and gardeners to do their own on-farm research, particularly in minimizing and eliminating tillage. Similarly, they encourage taking regional approaches to improve soil health and increase farm profitability so we can move forward in new ways. Montgomery, D. R. & Biklé, A. (2022).

New York Times best-selling author, clinician, Functional Medicine educator, and pioneer in the natural health space, Chris Kresser, discusses how his health views have evolved over 15 years and what he's currently focused on.   When you tune into this episode, you'll hear about how Chris discovered that many of his healthy patients who did everything right health-wise still ended up with nutrient deficiencies, what that looks like, and what the most nutrient dense foods are, both plant and meat-based.   Chris also discusses whether we should be eating plant foods, the pleiotropic interventions he recommends, eating locally versus seasonally, and how soil health has drastically changed over the years and what that means for us today.   Chris and Dr. Anthony Gustin also discuss his own personal experience dealing with health issues, how to tell if you've reached the point that health interventions can longer help, and why he chooses to see patients in-person when it can be done virtually.   If you're not familiar with Chris Kresser, he's a world-renowned expert, clinician, and educator of Functional Medicine and ancestral health. He's also a New York Times best-selling author of the books, The Paleo Cure, and Unconventional Medicine.   Chris also founded The Kresser Institute to help educate the next generation of Functional Medicine practitioners and he co-founded and co-directed the California Center for Functional Medicine, one of the largest clinics on the west coast.   Chris was also named one of the 100 most influential people in health and fitness and he's appeared as a guest on NPR, Fox & Friends,  Dr. Oz, Time, The Atlantic, and other well-respected media outlets.   Lastly, Chris has recently launched his own supplement line, Adapt Naturals, to address the most common nutrient deficiencies he's seen in healthy patients in his practice.   When you tune into this episode, you'll discover: What's changed for Chris as far as how he looks at health, what he focuses on now, and how he's evolved in his thinking How to tell if you've reached your health healing capacity or you need to push past your limitations  Pleiotropic interventions, including what those are, the role they play, and when to use them A peek inside Chris' third book that he's currently writing Mistaking fleeting and transitory states with permanent experiences and how to change that Why Chris chose to stick to in-person care when everyone else around him switched to providing virtual services Why Chris is actively creating in-person connections through his retreats, what that looks like, and why it's so beneficial How so many people are experiencing nutritional deficiencies, even when eating a healthy diet and doing all the right things, and what can be done to address this How the soil health affects whether or not we reap all of the nutrients from the foods we eat What are our options for actually eating a nutrient dense diet? The main nutritional deficiencies Chris saw in his healthy patients who did everything right health-wise How nutrient levels have declined over the years The top four nutrient dense foods  How whole grains compare in their nutrient density The most nutrient dense plant foods Do we need to eat plant foods?  Should we eat plant foods? The bioavailability of the foods we eat Should we eat seasonally?  Should we only eat locally sourced foods?

In this episode, Forrest talks with Dave Montgomery and Anne Biklé about their new book,  What Your Food Ate: How to Heal Our Land and Reclaim Our Health. The authors aim to raise our awareness of the community of life in the soil beneath our feet—or more importantly, the soil on the farms that grow our food. They make a compelling case for changing the ways that food is grown so that the life of the soil is respected and cared for . . . and so that the food produced by healthier soil makes us healthier in turn.Guests: David Montgomery - author and geologist at the University of Washington  Anne Bikle - author and biologist & plant whisperer Book:WhatYour Food Ate: How to Heal Our Land and Reclaim Our HealthDirt book trilogy - Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations; The Hidden Half of Nature; Growing a Revolution Mentions: regenerative farming practices monoculture tillage mycorrhiza the three sisters - squash, beans & corn Farm Bill renewal in the US Earthkeepers' interview with Good Food Clubs Wangari Maathai - Kenyan woman - tree planting project; Nobel Peace Prize price of fertilizer skyrocketed in the last year Actions:  learn about your food - where was it grown, who grew it, how did they grow it? in farming communities - educate about regenerative farming practices and their benefits public policy - vote for elected officials who share your views on the benefits of regenerative practices  find others who care about how our food is produced, and dream up ways to make a difference together!Keywords: monoculture, industrial farming, Green Revolution, regenerative agriculture, regenerative farming, food cooperatives, soil fungus, organic, permaculture, soil ecology, no-till, young farmers, cover crop, crop rotation

My guests on this segment are Anne Biklé and David R. Montgomery Authors of a new book entitled "What Your Food ate: How to Heal Our Land and Reclaim Our Health. Far too many of us remain poorly nourished despite eating more than enough food. It's your premise that the soil health is so poor that the food is not nutritious. Something that modern nutritional analysis overlooks are things like phytochemicals, micro minerals and other nutrients. My guests explain why and what we should do to address the problem.

David R. Montgomery, Ph.D. & Anne Biklé: “We're losing about 33% of our ability to feed ourselves globally each year to ongoing soil loss and soil degradation.”  David and Anne, husband and wife duo and co-authors, join mbg co-CEO, Jason Wachob, to discuss how to get the most nutritional bang for your buck, plus: - What we're getting wrong with farming & agriculture (~02:00) - How we can nurture the soil & feed everyone (~07:09) - The health benefits of eating organic food (~11:51) - The importance of grass-fed meat (~23:05) - Link between omega-3's & immunity (~27:35) - How the soil can change the flavor of your food (~31:13) - How to know if you're a “supertaster” (~35:16) - The connection between soil health & longevity (~39:30) - How to support farmers & rebuild soil health (~42:29) - What Bill Gates is really doing with all that farmland (~45:56) - The link between flavor & your health (~55:31) Referenced in the episode: - David & Anne's newest book, What Your Food Ate: How to Heal Our Land and Reclaim Our Health. - UN's 2015 Global State of the Soil report. - David's previous book, Growing A Revolution. - David & Anne's previous book, The Hidden Half Of Nature. - A 1993 study on the mineral differences between organic & conventional food. - A 2001 study on organic crops & vitamin content. - A 2014 study on organic food & phytochemicals. - A study on tomatoes' flavor profile & phytochemicals.

For this episode I have the pleasure of talking with two of my favorite authors on soil and our utter dependence on it, Anne Biklé and David R. Montgomery   David R. Montgomery is a MacArthur Fellow and professor of geomorphology at the University of Washington.  He is an internationally recognized geologist who studies the effects of geological processes on ecological systems and human societies.  His work has been featured in documentary films, network and cable news, TV, and radio including NOVA, PBS NewsHour, Fox and Friends, and All Things Considered.    Anne Biklé is a science writer and public speaker focusing on the connections between people, plants, food, health, and the environment.  She has been known to coax garden plants into rambunctious growth and nurse them back from the edge of death with her regenerative gardening practices.  Her work has appeared in digital and print magazines, newspapers, and radio and her gardening practices have been featured in independent and documentary films.    Anne and David are married and live in Seattle, WA.  Their work includes What Your Food Ate: How to Heal Our Land and Reclaim Our Health, and a trilogy of books about soil health, microbiomes, and farming—Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations, The Hidden Half of Nature, and Growing a Revolution.   These books are not only about soil but about agriculture, our food system, human health and survival and the climate… and, perhaps shockingly, they provide ample evidence for a way forward that provides solutions to the problems we face in all of these areas… dare I say they provide hope? And, even more importantly, he says sarcastically, they provide ample evidence for how to farm grapes in a better way to make more delicious wine. www.Dig2Grow.com  Sponsor: https://www.centralaswine.com/

“When you dig into the medical literature, 7 out of 10 of the leading causes of death in the United States are diet-related chronic diseases. And so one of the hopeful messages that I think comes out of The Hidden Half of Nature, Growing a Revolution, and What Your Food Ate is that what we do to the land, essentially we do to us. And what's good for the land is good for us.So if we think about farming differently, we can actually enjoy ripple effects that are not only beneficial to the farmers in terms of reduced costs for fertilizer, pesticides, and diesel - the three of the big costs in farming today. If we can farm and grow as much food using less of those kind of synthetic inputs, we'll all be better off. And farmers will be better off and more profitable, but it could also translate into better human health outcomes at a population level.”David R. Montgomery teaches at the University of Washington where he studies the evolution of topography and how geological processes shape landscapes and influence ecological systems. He loved maps as a kid and now writes about the relationship of people to their environment, and regenerative agriculture. In 2008 he was named a MacArthur Fellow. He is the author of award-winning popular-science books (King of Fish, Dirt, and Growing a Revolution) and co-authored The Hidden Half of Nature, The Microbial Roots of Life and Health and What Your Food Ate: How to Heal Our Land and Reclaim Our Health with his wife, biologist Anne Biklé.https://www.dig2grow.com/https://twitter.com/Dig2Growwww.oneplanetpodcast.orgwww.creativeprocess.info

"The last few decades have seen an explosion of information in terms of how our actions affect the natural world and, ranging from the climate to the soil, to water, there's an awful lot of things that we've been doing that are degrading the life support systems of a planet that our descendants are going to depend on.We need to quite radically readdress many of those basic issues about how we live in the land, how we raise our food, and reframe the way we think about them in terms of how to pass on the world in better shape than we got it. We're at a point where we now have the knowledge to be able to try and think about doing that. In terms of the soil, we have the examples of regenerative farmers who've been very good at figuring out ways to farm in a way that uses less fossil fuel, that builds soil's organic matter back up that I think would actually produce healthier food for the human populace.We really are this century in a place where the shape of humanity for centuries to come is going to be influenced by the choices we make over the next few decades. We've got 20, 30, 40 years, probably, to get off fossil fuels and to reshape agriculture in ways that make the climate and our soil sustainable. It's crazy for humanity to be distracting ourselves with conflict between people at a time when the whole future of humanity is really at stake in terms of what we do this century. What really matters is the state of what we leave for those who will follow us and try and make the world a better place.”David R.

We've got 20, 30, 40 years, probably, to get off fossil fuels and to reshape agriculture in ways that make the climate and our soil sustainable. It's crazy for humanity to be distracting ourselves with conflict between people at a time when the whole future of humanity is really at stake in terms of what we do this century. What really matters is the state of what we leave for those who will follow us and try and make the world a better place."https://www.dig2grow.com/https://twitter.com/Dig2Growwww.oneplanetpodcast.orgwww.creativeprocess.infoPhoto credit: Cooper Reid

“When you dig into the medical literature, 7 out of 10 of the leading causes of death in the United States are diet-related chronic diseases. And so one of the hopeful messages that I think comes out of The Hidden Half of Nature, Growing a Revolution, and What Your Food Ate is that what we do to the land, essentially we do to us. And what's good for the land is good for us.So if we think about farming differently, we can actually enjoy ripple effects that are not only beneficial to the farmers in terms of reduced costs for fertilizer, pesticides, and diesel - the three of the big costs in farming today. If we can farm and grow as much food using less of those kind of synthetic inputs, we'll all be better off. And farmers will be better off and more profitable, but it could also translate into better human health outcomes at a population level.”David R. Montgomery teaches at the University of Washington where he studies the evolution of topography and how geological processes shape landscapes and influence ecological systems.

In today's episode of Cool Science Radio John Well's and Lynn Ware Peek's guests include:One of the leading intellectuals of the digital age, (01:29) Jamie Susskind, who has outlined a plan to bring unregulated technology back into check — his new book is The Digital Republic: One Freedom and Democracy in the 21st Century. Then, two experts on food science and soil biology: (27:35) David Montgomery, a geomorphologist and professor at the University of Washington, and biologist and environmental planner, Anne Biklé, their new book is What Your Food Ate: How to Heal Our Land and Reclaim Our Health.

Gigi and Sersie have a candid conversation around being at War when it comes to our health and the need to fight back. To fight back and reclaim your health Sign up for the Healthy Christian Woman Bootcamp starts April 25th. https://www.healthyformypurpose.com/healthy-christian-woman-bootcamp

Our brain can change its structure and functions through a process called Neuroplasticity, which allows us to, by changing the stress response that takes place in our system, alleviate the body of inflammation, and reach homeostasis. Homeostasis is when cells, tissue, and organisms get the stability and consistency required to function normally.After being diagnosed with Chronic Neurological Lyme disease at age 25, our guest, Ben Ahrens, learned two things: one, Lyme disease is caused by the exposure of Borellia, and two, a tiny percentage of people exposed to Borellia develop Lyme disease.Later on, Ben learned that the brain determines how the body responds to particular stimuli. He got curious, so he decided to study neuroscience and understand the relationship between mind, body, and health.Ben Ahren is the Co-founder and CEO at re-origin, a science-based, self-directed neuroplasticity training program specifically designed to help you reclaim your health and life.In this episode, we delve into Ben's healing journey, recovering fully from Lyme disease using what he learned about Neuroplasticity. He explains complex brain functions with exquisite simplicity, making it easy to understand why and how our body reacts to stress and anxiety. We also talked about prevention, functional and healthy longevity, and Ben kindly shared practical ways of using Neuroplasticity to enhance our overall health.Tune in to Episode 115 of Rejuvenaging, and discover the benefits of reprogramming our brain and maximizing its ability to heal itself.

How The Intelligence Of Plants and Animals Can Help Us Reclaim Our Health | This episode is brought to you by Joovv, BiOptimizers, and Primal KitchenIf we take the time to be quiet, still, and curious, there's an immeasurable amount of knowledge to be gained from our natural surroundings. In watching grazing animals and their food choices, we see they know how to personalize their nutritional intake to eat plants that match their exact needs. Though many of us have lost our innate wisdom to eat intuitively, upping our intake of phytochemicals and reducing processed foods means we can recalibrate our cravings to lean towards what we truly need. Vitamins and minerals often get most of the attention when it comes to eating for nutrient density, but phytochemicals are the real hidden talent for optimizing plant, animal, and human health. Unfortunately, modern agriculture has actually damaged the phytochemical richness of our food, by breeding for yield, appearance, and hardiness. I enjoyed sitting down with Fred Provenza in this episode of The Doctor's Farmacy to talk about all this and so much more. Fred grew up in Salida, Colorado, working on a ranch and attending school in Wildlife Biology at Colorado State University. He is professor emeritus of Behavioral Ecology in the Department of Wildland Resources at Utah State University where he worked for 35 years, directing an award-winning research group that pioneered an understanding of how learning influences foraging behavior and how behavior links soil, plants, herbivores, and humans. He is the author of three books, including Nourishment: What Animals Can Teach Us about Rediscovering Our Nutritional Wisdom; Foraging Behavior: Managing to Survive in a World of Change; and The Art & Science of Shepherding: Tapping the Wisdom of French Herders (co-written with Michel Meuret). He has published over 300 research papers in a wide variety of scientific journals.
