Episode Highlights From KatieThe concept of the “Four Horsemen” of chronic disease and why 85% of people over 50 die from one of these conditions.What these diseases share in common: long, silent development over years or decades before symptoms appear.Why traditional screening often catches disease too late. And how new data and AI tools can identify risk far earlier.The difference between 10-year risk scoring and lifetime risk (and why most people never receive the latter).Why cancer screening is age-based rather than risk-based and how this overlooks key early indicators.How AI-driven assessments like Catch use massive datasets to calculate disease risk more accurately than traditional methods.What I learned from my own cancer risk assessment and why it shifted my thinking about proactive health.Why foundational lifestyle inputs (sunlight, vegetables, oily fish, hydration, minerals, sleep, movement, and avoiding chronic inflammation) are more powerful than supplements in reducing long-term disease risk.The connection between allergies, immune signaling, inflammation, and long-term disease patterns.How early lifestyle patterns influence future metabolic, cardiovascular, and cognitive health.Simple, data-backed ways to lower lifelong risk starting today without fear, overwhelm, or chasing expensive solutions.Resources MentionedCatch 

INTRODUCTION: If you've ever wondered whether your favorite holiday desserts can actually support your health instead of draining your energy, this episode is for you. Today we break down the difference between a traditional pumpkin pie and a paleo pumpkin pie and explore what each ingredient does inside your body. This episode is perfect for Christian women who want to honor God with their health, enjoy delicious foods without guilt, and learn simple, natural ways to feel better. You'll learn: The hidden issues inside common pumpkin pie ingredients Cleaner, healthier swaps that support energy, gut health, and hormones The surprising nutritional benefits of pumpkin and warming spices How to enjoy food with freedom, not legalism Why God-designed whole foods nourish your body on purpose TIME-STAMPED HIGHLIGHTS: 00:00 – A quick invitation to the Reset Your Energy Workshop 00:30 – The pumpkin pie experiment and trying a paleo version 01:01 – Why healthy ingredient swaps matter 01:29 – What's inside a regular pumpkin pie 02:22 – The issue with dairy, GMOs, and bloating 03:20 – Why vegetable oils drain your energy 04:17 – Breaking down the paleo pumpkin pie recipe 04:47 – The healing benefits of almonds 05:14 – Coconut oil's antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory power 05:44 – The nutritional benefits of pumpkin 06:15 – Maple syrup vs. brown sugar 06:45 – Anti-inflammatory and gut-healing benefits of warming spices 08:42 – Why Christian women should cook with more spices 09:11 – Avoiding food legalism and confusion 09:40 – Returning to God's design for nourishing foods KEY TAKEAWAYS: God-designed whole foods support your energy, hormones, gut health, and healing. Holiday desserts don't have to wreck your health. Simple swaps can lower inflammation and support your body. Spices like cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, and allspice are powerful natural medicines. Vegetable oils and processed ingredients can drain your energy and create inflammation. You can enjoy food with freedom while still being aware of ingredients. Pumpkin is a nutrient-rich superfood full of vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. HEALTHY PUMPKIN PIE INGREDIENTS THAT BOOST ENERGY: If you're searching for a clean eating pumpkin pie that's gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined-sugar-free, you're in the right place. Paleo pumpkin pie uses simple, God-made ingredients that reduce inflammation, support digestion, balance blood sugar, and naturally boost your energy. These healthier swaps include almond flour, almond butter, coconut oil, coconut milk, and maple syrup — all nutrient-dense, antioxidant-rich, and easier on the gut than conventional baking ingredients. Keywords included: healthy pumpkin pie recipe, paleo dessert swaps, clean eating for Christian women, natural anti-inflammatory foods, boost energy naturally, healthy holiday desserts, Christian holistic health A BIBLICAL APPROACH TO FOOD AND WELLNESS: Food was never meant to stress us out. God designed whole foods to nourish, strengthen, and bring joy. When we choose ingredients that honor His design — plants grown well, animals raised well, spices rich in natural healing compounds — our bodies respond with energy, clarity, and peace. Good food is one of the sweetest ways God provides for His daughters.

The international Fresh Produce Association is a trade group with the mission of helping businesses at every step along our food supply chain.

If there is one topic that has dominated the sustainability conversation in our industry, it is packaging. But as we look toward 2026, the conversation is evolving from simple reduction to a complex balance of functionality, food safety, and environmental footprint.  In the finale of our Fall 2025 Sustainability Series, CPMA's Produce Talks sits down with experts across the supply chain to discuss how we can minimize waste without compromising the quality of fresh produce for Canadians.  In this episode, Stuart Jackson of Crawford Packaging, JF Delorme of IFCO, and Jeff Brandenburg of QFresh Lab, join us as we discuss the "Field to Fork" Balance: How to reduce packaging waste without increasing food waste. We also explore B2B vs. B2C: Navigating the differences between primary consumer packaging and tertiary logistics packaging, as well as leading Future Trends related to recycling, composting, and the next generation of packaging materials.A special thanks to our series sponsor, Crawford Packaging, for supporting this vital conversation.

As the Vegetable and Berry Specialist at the University of Vermont for 35 years, Vern has a lot of experience with helping growers improve their high tunnel tomato production. One of the best ways to find out what is working on actual farms is with a survey- in 2024 Vern and his team did a survey of 48 tunnel tomato growers (heated and unheated) that included growing practices and yields, in order to correlate the best practices to the best yields.In this conversation, we talk about the conclusions we can draw from this survey, highlighting the best practices and prioritizing the smallest changes that can have the biggest impact on yields. We discuss everything from variety selection to grafting, root zone heating, planting density and biological controls. Ultimately, the biggest changes came from: using the long-term high tunnel soil test, adding up to 4 drip lines per bed, improving ventilation with gable end vents and HAF fans, and automating roll-up sides. We break it all down with Vern and if you'd like to see the slides made from his study results, they're in the show notes below. Connect With Guest:Website with slides from the study: newenglandvfc.orgInstagram: @uvmextcommhort Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support:Seven Springs Farm Supply is a farm-based supply company focused on serving market gardeners and has been in business for 35 years.

This week on the Sumud Podcast, we sit down with Sami Tamimi, award-winning chef, author, and co-founder of Ottolenghi, to explore how heritage, hard work, and heart have shaped his life from Jerusalem to London's kitchens. Sami Tamimi is a British-Palestinian chef and author whose cooking is deeply rooted in the flavors of his homeland. In his first solo cookbook, Boustany: A Celebration of Vegetables from My Palestine, he embarks on a vibrant journey through Palestinian culinary traditions, celebrating simple, colorful dishes centered around vegetables and grains. This exploration builds on his earlier work as co-founder of the Ottolenghi restaurants and co-author of bestselling cookbooks: "Falastin" and "Jerusalem: A Cookbook". "Boustany" is Sami's homage to the food and culture of Palestine. In this deeply personal conversation, he reflects on his early life under occupation, his rebellious path from a truck company to the kitchen, and the struggle of navigating Israeli kitchens as a Palestinian chef. Sami opens up about cultural appropriation in “Israeli cuisine,” the politics of food, and the creation of his newest book, "Boustany", a love letter to Palestinian memory, land, and flavor. With humor and grace, Sami reminds us that every dish carries a story of land, family, and survival.

There are so many other options though and many are tougher than our stand alone favorites.  Fore instance so many people love growing tomatoes but in many areas they are plagued by early and late blight.  You can usually get a decent yield and then you hit a wall, well why not grow tomatillos instead.  They make fantastic salsa, are great grilled and … Continue reading →

Carter Moulton shares about his Analog Inspiration (AI) card deck and human centered AI in the classroom on episode 593 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode I'm here to talk a little bit about the Analog Inspiration card deck, which really is a professional development resource under the guise of a game. -Carter Moulton I wanted to create something that would bring faculty together and talk with each other and wrestle with these moral and ethical questions. -Carter Moulton Those three questions underneath at the bottom of the card are really just trying to foster that critical thinking with students about what it is they're making and what it is they're doing and how they're engaging with AI. -Carter Moulton I hope we don't abandon the decades of research that has shown the benefits of peer learning, of caring, belonging, and relationships in the classroom. -Carter Moulton Resources Analog Inspiration Card Deck How to Play Free Google Sheet for Discussions Buy - Analog Inspiration Card Deck Analog Inspiration Project Overview Bonni's Analog Inspiration Unboxing Video (YouTube) Bonni awkwardly tries to mention HAL 9000 and WarGames and just clearly wasn't ready for the moment
