313: We've been taught to fear meat, but what if the quality, source, and way it's raised matter more than we think? In this episode with Autumn Smith from Paleo Valley, I talk about grass-fed vs. grain-fed meat, regenerative farming, the truth about processed meats and nitrates, misleading food labels, glycine, nose-to-tail eating, and why food quality and diversity matter for our health. → PaleoValley | Head to https://paleovalley.com/promos/realfoodology  for 15% off your first purchase Topics Discussed: → Grass-Fed vs. Grain-Fed Meat → Processed Meat & Nitrates → Glycine & Bone Broth → Food Labels to Trust Sponsored By: → PaleoValley | Head to https://paleovalley.com/promos/realfoodology  for 15% off your first purchase → Wild Pastures | Head to https://wildpastures.com/promos/realfoodology for 20% off for life + a bonus $15 off your first purchase Timestamps:  → 00:00:00 - Introduction  → 00:05:40 - How Paleo Valley got started → 00:09:00 - The Benefits of Fermented Meat → 00:15:00 - Meat, Nutrition and Regenerative Farming → 00:18:34 - Grass-Fed vs. Grain-Fed Beef → 00:24:24 - Animal Diet and Food Diversity → 00:29:04 - Grass-Fed vs. Organic vs. Regenerative Meat → 00:34:40 - Finding High-Quality Meat → 00:36:08 - Deli Meat, Nitrates and Nitrites → 00:41:08 - Vital Farms Eggs and PUFAs → 00:45:12 - Which Food Labels Can You Trust? → 00:49:06 - Country-of-Origin Labels and Imported Meat → 00:53:38 - Glycine: Benefits and Why It Matters → 00:58:00 - Glycine, Inflammation and Immune Health → 01:03:26 - Nose-to-Tail Eating and Organ Meats → 01:06:08 - Food vs. Supplements → 01:12:26 - Phyto-Melatonin and Sleep → 01:14:06 - Getting More Protein → 01:16:16 - Fermented Foods and Gut Health Check Out Dr. Autumn Smith:  → Autumn's Instagram  → Paleo Valley Instagram  → Paleo Valley Website → Wild Pastures Instagram  → Wild Pastures Website  → Wild Pastures Burger Co Check Out Courtney:  →  LEAVE US A VOICE MESSAGE →  Check Out My new FREE Grocery Guide! →  @realfoodology →  www.realfoodology.com →  My Immune Supplement by 2x4 →  Air Dr Air Purifier →  AquaTru Water Filter →  EWG Tap Water Database Produced By: Drake Peterson Learn more about your ad choices.

Abby Rose is an experienced agricultural storyteller, co-host of the award-winning podcast Farmerama Radio, and co-founder of the soil monitoring and data platform VidaCycle. With a background spanning technology and hands-on farming on her family's farm in Chile, Abby has spent nearly a decade amplifying the voices of the regenerative farming movement and creating tools to help farmers build healthier soils.This July, Abby is back on the podcast to share an update on Cereal, her six-part series podast uncovering the polarised world of cereals, from seed to loaf, and Cereal Revisited, which returned to the series years later to ask what happened after people listened. What did those stories change? And what does that tell us about the power of storytelling to change the regenerative agriculture system?When two podcasters walk into the ‘recording studio' for a conversation, the central question is bigger than podcasting: is good storytelling one of the most neglected and underfunded pieces of the regenerative agriculture and food transition? If people are going to change careers, start farms, build food companies, become millers or join the agroecological movement, they first need to see and feel that another way of working is possible. Cereal offers a striking case study: farmers started operating their own mills, listeners went on pilgrimages to meet people featured in the series, and at least one listener moved from engineering into milling.Koen van Seijen and Abby Rose — two regenerative agriculture podcasters — turn the microphone back on themselves. They talk about what six relatively simple episodes did years after release, why systemic storytelling is difficult to fund, and why the hero's journey may be the wrong model for food systems.More about this episode.Thoughts?

Have you heard of regenerative farming? What is it and how can it help prevent food waste. Linda Gassenheimer talks with Farmer Lee Jones. He has some answers for us. He created the chef's garden and the culinary vegetable institute researching new techniques producing flavor forward vegetables. Also wine and food consultant Sunny Fraser has some special vegetable information regarding Farmer Lee and his farms. 

When Alysa Seeland's health began falling apart after the birth of her first baby, she was told she would likely need surgery and was left searching for answers. Instead, that journey led her to discover the power of nutrient-dense foods, healing through nourishment, and eventually building Fond Regenerative: a company dedicated to truly traditional bone broth and regenerative foods.In this conversation, Alysa shares her incredible postpartum healing story, why quality bone broth matters, the role of healthy fats during pregnancy and breastfeeding, recovering from Lyme disease, home birth experiences, homeschooling six boys, running a thriving business with her husband, and the practical systems that make large family life possible. If you've ever wondered how to nourish yourself while raising children, or how to let go of perfectionism in motherhood, this episode is packed with encouragement and practical wisdom.00:00 Trailer & Introduction03:46 Why Real Bone Broth Matters 05:24 Alysa's Postpartum Health Crisis 09:20 Healing Through Nourishment 12:20 Why Moms Need More Nutrients 19:06 Healthy Fats During Pregnancy & Postpartum 20:46 Childhood Health & Choosing Birth Centers 23:31 Fast Birth Stories & Home Births 26:18 Letting Go of Perfectionism 30:14 Babies Close Together & Pregnancy Nutrition 34:14 Lyme Disease & Pregnancy After Healing 37:27 Managing Expectations With a Large Family 43:06 Homeschooling Six Kids 49:46 Running a Business Together as Parents 52:25 The Problem With Perfectionism 56:40 Family Systems That Actually Work 60:10 Why the Company is Named FOND 61:51 Daily Routine & Work Schedule 65:05 Traveling & Building a Business With Kids 68:36 Healthy Sports Snacks for Kids 72:35 Favorite Ways to Use Bone Broth & Tallow 75:20 Are They Done Having Kids?Resources From This Episode:Use code HAAM and save 10% at Fond - https://fondregenerative.com/HAAMCheck out Fond on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fondregenerativeFollow Alysa on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/alysaseeland/Dr. Morgan's Pregnancy Call Course - https://milkmedicine.com/lessonsonly/Healthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond

Third-generation cattle producer Tom Lahey always knew he wanted to return home to the family farm near Goondiwindi. But after working across Western Australia and travelling through the United States to visit some of the world's leading regenerative ranches, he came back with a different perspective on what the future of Australian grazing could look like.Rather than chasing quick wins, Tom has focused on building a more resilient business by improving soil health, measuring grazing performance and making better decisions with data. Over the past five years, AgriWebb has become a central part of that journey, helping the family move from relying on notebooks and memory to having real-time information that supports day-to-day management and long-term planning.In this episode, Tom shares how travel reshaped his thinking, why healthy soil and healthy people go hand in hand, and how technology is helping his family make more confident decisions while creating a stronger future for the next generation.Key insights from the conversation:Growing up on a family cattle property near GoondiwindiHow travelling through the US changed his approach to grazing and soil healthBringing new ideas back into a multi-generational family businessWhy AgriWebb became the foundation for better decision-makingUsing grazing data to navigate dry seasons with confidenceHow technology supports carbon projects and tells the story behind farming practicesThe importance of measuring progress instead of relying on memoryWhy the future of farming will rely on connected technology and better dataBuilding a legacy focused on healthy soils, healthy businesses and healthy peopleChapters:00:00 Introduction to Tom Lahey and his farm journey00:28 Tom's background and family farm in Wyaga02:08 Growing up on the family farm and passion for farming04:56 Adopting a progressive mindset in agriculture06:53 Experience in Western Australia and genetic improvements07:35 Trip to the US and insights into regenerative ranching09:42 Soil health, environment, and profitability11:30 Implementing grazing techniques post-US trip13:20 Using AgriWebb for farm management and decision making17:52 Integrating data and technology in farm operations20:26 Evolution of farm management tools over five years22:38 Future plans for technology and farm legacy

Today we're back with Field to Front Door

On this week's episode of The Ultimate Assist, John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers sit down with Papa John's founder John Schnatter for a wide-ranging and unfiltered conversation about business, food, freedom, cancel culture, regenerative farming, and what happens when the people who build companies get replaced by people who only manage them.Schnatter reflects on the early days of Papa John's, explaining how the company grew from a simple commitment to better ingredients, better pizza, and taking care of people into a global brand with thousands of stores. He credits focus, humility, fundamentals, hard work, and a strong store-level culture as the real engine behind the company's success. But the conversation quickly moves into more controversial territory.Schnatter argues that many great companies lose their way when bureaucracy, corporate boards, private equity, and short-term financial thinking begin to overshadow the people doing the real work. He shares his frustration with what he believes happened to Papa John's after his departure, saying the brand was built “brick by brick” and later damaged by leadership disconnected from the stores, employees, and fundamentals that made it successful.  The episode also explores Schnatter's next chapter: Papa Farms, his regenerative farming project focused on soil health, nutrient density, clean food, and helping people live healthier lives. He explains why he believes better soil leads to better food, why processed food is contributing to declining health, and how his farm is being used as a real-world experiment in improving quality of life through food, water, movement, and community.  John, Ken, and Schnatter discuss:How Papa John's grew from a small operation into a global pizza brandWhy “the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing”The difference between builders, doers, talkers, and bureaucratsWhat corporate America often gets wrong about frontline workersWhy Schnatter believes private equity and short-term thinking can destroy brandsRegenerative farming, soil health, nutrient-dense food, and clean ingredientsProcessed food, Big Ag, Big Pharma, and the modern health crisisCancel culture and what it's like to live through a media firestormThe importance of focus, incentives, humility, antifragility, and truthSchnatter also opens up about cancel culture, saying he “lived it” and describing how quickly a media narrative can take hold when someone with influence speaks their mind. Support the show

First Milk has released a 'white paper' for regenerative dairy. The report celebrates what the co-operative dairy has achieved so far, while making a strong case for Phase 2 of their regen dairy programme - moving from measuring inputs to assessing outcomes: actual soil carbon, actual numbers of birds and insects, actual river quality... To find out more, ffinlo Costain is joined by Lee Truelove, Director of Regenerative Farming & Agriculture at First Milk, and Leona McDonald, their Director of Regenerative Partnerships.

We talk about Regenerative Farming with Amy Greil, executive director of the Kenosha Community Foundation - Paul Maggio, owner/operator of Starry Nights Farm in Kenosha County and leader of the Kenosha Regenerative Producers Group - and Ken Stock, a family farmer in Jefferson County and a staff member for Glacierland Resource Conservation and Development, a non-profit that works with farmers who would like to engage in regenerative practices.

In this episode of the Matthews Mentality Podcast, Kyle Matthews sits down with Will Harris, fourth-generation cattleman, regenerative agriculture pioneer, and owner of White Oak Pastures in Bluffton, Georgia. What was once a conventional industrial cattle operation has become one of the most recognized regenerative farms in the world, raising 10 species of livestock across more than 3,200 acres.Will shares why he walked away from industrial farming in the mid-1990s, the animal welfare moment that changed his perspective forever, and how rebuilding his farm around nature's systems transformed the land, the business, and his community. Today, White Oak Pastures processes its own animals, ships premium meat directly to consumers nationwide, and has become a global model for regenerative agriculture.The conversation explores regenerative farming, soil health, carbon sequestration, food labeling, animal welfare, rural economic development, and why consumers have more power over the food system than they realize.Topics covered in this episode:Why Will Harris abandoned industrial cattle farmingWhat regenerative agriculture actually meansThe truth about industrial beef productionHow regenerative farming improves soil health and biodiversityCarbon sequestration and the environmental impact of regenerative beefThe role of pesticides, fertilizers, antibiotics, hormones, and monoculture farmingWhy White Oak Pastures processes livestock on-siteThe economics of regenerative agricultureCountry-of-origin labeling and why it mattersHow consumers can reshape the food industryRevitalizing rural America through local agricultureWhite Oak Pastures' partnership with Silicon Ranch for solar grazingLessons from four generations of farmingWill's book, A Bold Return to Giving a DamnWill also discusses the importance of transparency in food production, rebuilding local economies through agriculture, and why leaving the land healthier than you found it should be every farmer's goal.Whether you're interested in farming, sustainability, nutrition, entrepreneurship, environmental conservation, or simply understanding where your food comes from, this conversation offers an insightful look at one of the most important conversations happening in agriculture today.Follow Will Harris:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whiteoakpasturesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/WhiteOakPasturesLearn More About White Oak Pastures:Website: https://whiteoakpastures.comRead Will's Book:A Bold Return to Giving a Damnhttps://whiteoakpastures.com/pages/bookFollow Kyle Matthews CEO:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kylematthewsceoTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kylematthewsceoX: https://x.com/kylematthewsceoLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylematthewsceo

Field to Front Door – Episode 11 on regenerative farming, harvest decisions and learning from failureToday we're back with Field to Front Door

In this episode, the Soil Sisters connect with Ty and Tokie Morgan of Southern Sunny Acres, a veteran-owned family farm in East Texas producing pasture-raised chicken, eggs, and lamb. Starting with just 50 broiler chickens in 2021, they've grown their direct-to-consumer operation by focusing on regenerative practices, serving their local community, and making thoughtful business decisions along the way. Ty and Tokie share the honest lessons they've learned while scaling a farm business—from managing freezer capacity and cash flow to reducing input costs through "no-icide" farming and improving efficiency with better systems. They discuss the challenges of growing a farm before it reaches profitability, the importance of tracking metrics, and the mindset shifts required to build a sustainable operation. They also talk about running a farm as a married couple, including how they divide responsibilities, communicate through challenges, and protect their relationship as they build a business together. The conversation previews their upcoming keynote at the Southern Family Farmers & Food Systems Conference happening on August 3-4, in San Marcos, TX. Whether you're starting a farm, expanding a direct-to-consumer business, or looking for real-world lessons in regenerative agriculture and farm entrepreneurship, this episode offers an honest look at the work it takes to build a successful farm.

White Wine, Regenerative Farming, and Reinventing Yourself at 50What does it mean to acquiesce to wine? For Lodi winemaker Susan Tipton it means surrendering to the grapes, making wine that represents what the grapes give her.Meet Susan Tipton, founder of Acquiesce Winery and Vineyards in Lodi, California. In a region famous for Zinfandel and other red wines, Sue took a different path, building a winery devoted entirely to Rhône-inspired white wines. What began as a passion project after she fell in love with a white Châteauneuf-du-Pape eventually became one of Lodi's most acclaimed wineries.Sue shares how she and her husband Rodney arrived in Lodi after years of moving around the world for corporate assignments, and how a song called “Acquiesce” by KD Lang inspired both the winery's name and philosophy. Today, Acquiesce is known for wines that as they say, surrender to the grapes, focusing on expressing the vineyard rather than manipulating the wine. She also explains why Lodi's warm days, cool Delta breezes, and sandy soils make Lodi an ideal place to grow Rhône white varieties such as Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Roussanne, Picpoul Blanc, and Bourboulenc.Our conversation explores Sue's career change in her 50s, the challenges of launching a winery focused exclusively on white wines, and the recognition that followed. From selling out her first vintages to being named Woman Winemaker of the Year by the International Women's Wine Competition, Sue's story is a testament to following curiosity and conviction.We also discuss Acquiesce's food-and-wine pairing program, regenerative farming practices, and the Lodi Appellation Inclusion Collective, an initiative co-founded by Rodney Tipton to help create pathways into the wine industry for people of color. So grab a glas and join us for this inspiring conversation about wine, hospitality, sustainability, and the rewards.

What do you do when your product is so unique that no five-second pitch can explain it? This week, Phil and Kenny sit down with Brad and Sheila, founders of Natural Farmworks — a regenerative farm in BC's Boundary Country that grows barley greens and processes them using traditional Chinese tea methods to create green, oolong, and black teas that deliver a serving of greens in every cup. No bitterness, no flavourings, no "barley shivers." Brad's journey starts with a Crohn's disease diagnosis in the 1980s, runs through buying a decommissioned Saputo spray-drying plant ("How do we even turn it on?"), and lands on two years of WhatsApp messages with a tea master in China to learn an entirely new craft. Sheila shares how they hand-cut greens in their kitchen, trained with a certified herbalist, and turned lab results from BCIT's nutraceutical program into a genuinely new product category.   Whether you're a food and beverage founder, a CPG brand builder, or just love a great Canadian entrepreneur story, this one's packed with honest, practical retail advice.

What does regenerative agriculture look like in practice, and why are more farmers paying attention? In this first episode of our special Nedbank series, Daneel Rossouw unpacks how regenerative farming can help farmers navigate rising costs, climate uncertainty and growing pressure to do more with less.

Send us Fan MailWhat does "regenerative agriculture" actually mean, and why should pet parents care?In this episode, we sit down with the team behind Ramstead Ranch to explore the connection between soil health, nutrient-dense food, sustainable farming, and the health of both people and pets.We discuss the origin story of Ramstead Ranch, how 240 acres were transformed through regenerative farming practices, and why healthy soil may be one of the most important factors in producing healthier food. You'll learn how regenerative agriculture differs from factory farming and conventional "Big Ag," what nutrient differences may exist between foods raised in healthy ecosystems, and why you can't out-supplement poor-quality food produced from depleted land.We also dive into practical advice for becoming a more informed consumer, navigating confusing marketing claims, feeding nutrient-dense foods on a budget, and understanding how Ramstead Ranch expanded into products for dogs. Along the way, we share stories from ranch life, lessons learned from livestock guardian dogs, and resources for anyone interested in learning more about regenerative agriculture.In This Episode: Origin story of Ramstead Ranch  What regenerative agriculture really means  How to evaluate food and pet food marketing claims  Regenerative farming vs factory farming and Big Ag  Soil health and nutrient density  Rebuilding 240 acres through regenerative practices  Why Ramstead Ranch began offering products for dogs  Behind-the-scenes realities of ranch life  The connection between soil, food quality, and chronic health issues  Budget-friendly ways to feed more nutrient-dense foods  Resources for learning more about regenerative agriculture  Chris's journey to Ramstead Ranch Find Ramstead Ranch:Web: https://ramsteadranch.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/ramsteadranch/FB: https://www.facebook.com/RamsteadRanchLinks Discussed:Gabe Brown: https://brownsranch.us/Common Ground Film: https://commongroundfilm.org/Kiss the Ground: https://kissthegroundmovie.com/Joel Salatin: https://www.regenerativefarms.org/why-regeneration/Food Inc.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXIkrYbqRO0Omnivore's DilemmaSocial Media:Kimberly: Raw Feeder Life, RawFeederLife.comErin Scott: Believe in Dog podcast, BelieveInDogPodcast.comRaw Feeder Life, Instagram.com/RawFeederLifeBelieve in Dog Podcast, Instagram.com/Erin_The_Dog_MomThanks for listening to our podcast.  You can learn more about Erin Scott's first podcast at BelieveInDogPodcast.com.  And you can learn more about raw feeding, raising dogs naturally, and Kimberly's dogs at KeepTheTailWagging.com.  And don't forget to subscribe to The Alternative Dog Moms.

Good podcasts are part of an ecosystem of ideas that have the potential to change the world - to shift us into the new system we so badly need.  For a long time, Farmerama Radio has been at the leading, radical edge where food, farming and activism meet. In the early days, it was all about fostering the voices of grassroots, small-scale farming with monthly episodes featuring stories from the field. Then, in 2019, the co-founders, Abby Rose and Jo Barratt worked with Katie Revell to produce their first in-depth series Cereal, which looked at the process of creating bread, from seed to loaf. It was a huge hit, and building off the success of Cereal – which won two Guild of Food Writers Awards – they went on to produce several more series, including their most downloaded, Landed, a powerful exploration of land ownership and colonial legacy in Scotland. In April of this year, Farmerama launched a new project Cereal Revisited, looking at the real-world impact of their podcast, and how Farmerama's stories helped listeners take action, both big and small.  This is a story of Thrutopia in action and we are really delighted to welcome one of the co-founders, Abby Rose to this podcast. Abby continues to lead the podcast today (the team is all women) and is both a farmer and soil health advocate. She was named one of 50 New Radicals by The Guardian and Nesta in 2018 for her work developing simple apps that help build ecology, profitability and beauty on farms around the world, and then in 2020, she was named in Code Hospitality's Top 100 Influential Women in Hospitality.  Farmerama Radio itself was named Best Investigative Work and Best Food Podcast at the Guild of Food Writers Awards 2020 and won Best Environment and Natural World podcast at the Independent Podcast Awards 2024.  So for a story that really gets to the heart of the power of story, please do listen and enjoy.LinksFarmerama website Farmerama Radio podcast on Apple Podcasts Wakelyns Farm in Suffolk Nottingham Mill Co-opHodmedod's YQ Grain at Hodmedod'sUK Grain Lab —About Accidental Gods—We offer three strands all rooted in the same soil, drawing from the same river: Accidental Gods, Dreaming Awake and the Thrutopia Writing Masterclass Our next Open Gathering offered as part of our Accidental Gods Programme is 'WALKING THE PATH OF THE INNER WARRIOR' which will run on Sunday 28th June 2026 from 16:00 - 20:00 GMT - details are here.

You don't have to look much further than your grocery receipt to see how climate change can affect our food supply chain. But some of the key drivers of climate change are sitting right in our carts. It's a chicken-or-egg debacle that we're happy to explore on this episode if it means understanding how we can create a more adaptable, equitable food supply chain.  Farms are dealing with historic heat waves slashing wheat and maize yields, record rainfall collapsing corn harvests, sea level rise swallowing farmland on the East Coast, and disappearing pollinators that one-third of our food supply depends on. And we're paying the price. We hear from our community about how the rising price of groceries has meant making sustainability tradeoffs on what they buy at the store. Food insecurity and the climate crisis are also intertwined. Maggie Baird, founder of Support and Feed, helps us understand how the animal agriculture industry is at the center of many climate (and health woes), challenging us to rethink food traditions rooted in culture and family identity. To better understand how we got here,  Commons founder Sanchali Seth Pal follows the money through animal agriculture subsidies.   Episode rundown: (00:54) - How our food choices and the climate crisis feed each other (02:30) - How climate change is affecting food prices (04:41) - When sustainable food becomes a luxury you can't afford (09:07) - Animal agriculture, culinary tradition, and food inequity with Maggie Baird (27:49) - Our tax dollars are making meat cheaper? (33:59) - Changing what we eat can change the climate

The MAHA Lowdown with Jeff Louderback – Regenerative farming emerges as a vital answer to rising distrust in health, food, and regulatory systems. As concerns over glyphosate, corporate influence, and weakened accountability grow, farmers and consumers push for cleaner methods, transparent labeling, local sourcing, and practical alternatives that protect families, restore soil, and rebuild public confidence today...

This week, guest host Oli Dugmore, speaks to Andy Cato, one half of electronic music duo Groove Armada and a leading advocate for regenerative farming.Andy argues that modern agriculture is reaching a breaking point. He says that a reliance on chemical farming has degraded our ecosystems, taken agency away from farmers, and made us over reliant on fragile international trade systems. Through regenerative farming, he believes it's possible to restore ecosystems, rebuild soil health and create a more resilient food system for the 21st century.They discuss Andy's unlikely journey from global touring musician to farmer, including selling his music catalogue to buy land, and the founding of Wildfarmed, a business aiming to help farmers transition to regenerative agriculture while remaining profitable. Andy also explains why he believes traditional farming is no longer sustainable, how a different model could be financed, and what the benefits could be for farmers, consumers and the environment alike.

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Boostcous, the protein-boosted, fiber-rich couscous alternative made entirely from chickpea, lentil, and pea flour. It checks a lot of boxes right out of the gate: 18 grams of plant protein, 11 grams of fiber, gluten-free, non-GMO, regeneratively grown, and even glyphosate-free with third-party testing to back it up. But does a cleaner ingredient list automatically make something a smart choice for your health goals? Jenn breaks down the nutrition facts, does the net carb math, and asks the questions the brand left unanswered. Is Boostcous a game-changer, or just better marketing on the same old starch problem? You might be surprised where Jenn lands on this one. Like what you're hearing? Be sure to check out the full-length episodes of new releases every Wednesday. Have an idea for a nutrition nugget?

Indoor Epidemic: Prescribing Nature, Light, Air, and Movement with Dr. John La Puma, internist, chef, and regenerative farmer. His book, "Indoor Epidemic," argues that spending about 93% of life indoors undermines health through poor light timing, air quality, limited movement, and reduced nature exposure. La Puma cites data that outdoor morning light helps set circadian rhythms, while nighttime blue light can impair sleep quality and raise cardiovascular risks, referencing a large UK Biobank study. He discusses indoor pollutants and CO2 buildup affecting inflammation and cognition, recommends strategies like getting daylight early (even just a sky view), using circadian lighting, and taking brief outdoor breaks to reduce myopia risk. He describes measurable benefits of forest bathing and gardening (including immune and mood effects), notes hospital studies linking window views to shorter stays and less pain medication, and reviews his pioneering work in culinary medicine now taught widely in medical schools, emphasizing cooking and growing food as preventive and therapeutic tools.

Today's Guest Josh and his wife, Sandra are organic farmers in Mendocino County, California. This is a world-renowned cannabis growing region. They breed cannabis seeds and flowers for California's top dispensaries on their permitted 10,000 square feet farm and homestead where they raise a family. They're growing cannabis in the full sun and all the seeds in accordance with the rhythms of nature. Their crop grows in healthy, rich living soil alongside many other crops that do well in their microclimate. There are a lot of plants that are in the symphony of life that you will find when you step into their garden. This diverse garden requires zero pesticides of any kind, even organic, due to the balanced ecosystem which keeps the garden vibrant and healthy.

Raised on their family's fourth-generation regenerative dairy farm in Northern Pennsylvania, Hayley and Stephanie launched their brand with a bold vision: to connect consumers directly with American farmers while offering a nutrient-dense product that tastes as good as it does good. In this episode, they chat with Elizabeth about how growing up barefoot on the farm shaped their values, why regenerative farming is the future of food, and how they went from hand-labeling yogurt in their 20s to selling over 6 million units. You'll also hear how they balance sisterhood and business, why they refuse to follow food trends, and what's next for this mission-driven brand.  **This episode was published in April 2025.** Episodes Here  Say Hi To Elizabeth and Purely Elizabeth:  Website | Instagram Painterland Sisters Yogurt: Website Mentioned:  evanhealy  Fishwives 

Why This Episode MattersDoug Frost connects wine education, grape growing, climate pressure, and wine culture mythmaking in one conversation.This episode makes a smart, practical case for hybrid grapes as part of wine's future, not just a regional curiosity.The discussion cuts through vague “natural wine” posturing and asks a better question: is the wine actually good?Mark Pascal and Francis Schott keep the wine-geek material accessible without dumbing it down.Doug's work at Echo Lands brings the conversation from what's in the glass to what has to happen in the vineyard.The BanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott open with a detour into ferries, bar cars, and the enduring appeal of any transportation where somebody else is driving and a drink might be available.The ConversationDoug Frost joins the show for a wide-ranging discussion about hybrid grapes, climate pressure, and why regions outside the usual wine power centers may have more to teach the wine world than they get credit for. He explains how growers in places like the Midwest, New Jersey, and Europe are rethinking what counts as a serious wine grape as farming realities change.The conversation then pivots into a lively critique of bad “natural wine” logic. Doug, Mark, and Francis are not arguing against low-intervention winemaking; they are arguing against excusing obvious flaws because the category sounds virtuous. In the final stretch, Frost talks about Echo Lands in Walla Walla, where regenerative farming and land stewardship are part of building a winery meant to last.Timestamps00:00 – Opening setup: Doug Frost and why this episode goes a little into the weeds00:45 – Banter: ferries, commuting by boat, and the romance of transit with a drink04:25 – Doug Frost joins; What it means to be both a Master Sommelier and a Master of Wine07:30 – Hybrid grapes, mildew, climate pressure, and the future of wine growing17:00 – Which hybrid grapes and producers are worth seeking out28:20 – Doug Frost on natural wine, flaws, and why unstable wine is still flawed wine40:00 – Echo Lands, Walla Walla, and building a winery around regenerative farming51:36 – Red wine tipBioDoug Frost is one of the few people in the world to hold both the Master Sommelier and Master of Wine titles.
