Getting Dirty: Saving Our Soul & Our Soil w/ Regenerative Agriculture #365
The Life Stylist
The Death of a Bison
The moment tim kennedy shot that bison out in the field, there was just this energy that permeated the space. It's really hard to describe, but the closest thing i've been able to arrive at is akin to some peak experiences with breath work meditation and plant medicines. You just kind of go into this this, for me, it's just like this wave of, kind of like goose bumps. And i'm getting the goose bumps right now. This is life, and this is death.
Discourse around meat production and eating meat is fraught with judgments, misconceptions, and a disconnection to the natural world and ecosystem at large.
My time in Texas has brought me closer to the end cycle of an animal's life, and the courageous acts of butchery that conscious land stewards – such as today's guest, Robby Sansom – are committed to. I recently joined him during a harvest of a Bison which was mind-blowing.
Robby's regenerative farm, Force of Nature, was founded on the belief that one can and should enjoy meat without sacrificing their values. We all know the dark side of industrial farming and have been force-fed a lot of hype around the virtuous wonders of plant-based eating and agriculture. On the other hand, regenerative farming offers the truly revolutionary opportunity to collaborate with the natural world in a way that's actually beneficial for the planet.
Sink your teeth into this juicy episode where Robby and I carve out space for an alternative agricultural reality to the dysfunctional one that's eating this planet alive.

When most people think of stress, they think of their job, traffic, tense relationships, current events, things like that. But the root of so much of the stress we experience comes down to a deficiency in one overlooked nutrient: magnesium.
