Imagine eating food that not only nourishes your body, but also heals the planet. In this episode, Erin is exploring the transformative power of regenerative farming with Stan and Eileen from Ramstead Ranch.
Together, they break down how regenerative agriculture goes FAR beyond the “organic” label and why it matters for your immune system, gut health, and chronic inflammation. There’s an often-overlooked connection between soil health, animal welfare, and your body’s nutrient absorption!
You’ll learn what makes food truly nutrient-dense, how industrial farming practices have stripped our food of bioavailable minerals, and simple questions you should ask your local farmers if you want to navigate your food choices with curiosity and care.
In this episode:
- The differences between “organic,” “pasture-raised,” and truly regenerative food practices
- How modern farming depletes soil and why that matters for your nutrient intake
- What “grass-fed AND grass-finished” actually means (and why it’s crucial)
- The surprising role of soil microbes in your immune system and gut health
- How to ask the right questions when sourcing food - even if you’re not a farmer!
