Ancestral Kitchen

Megan is a podcast listener, turned podcast patron, turned podcast admin! She is now working for the Ancestral Kitchen Podcast and it has been so wonderful having her helping Alison and I out. This is a very special episode that we recorded just for patrons of the podcast, and it went up on a private podcast feed where we have over 80+ episodes that are just special bonuses for patrons of the podcast who are helping support it and keep us on the air. Megan and her partner are garlic and lamb farmers; and we asked the patrons of the podcast for all their questions about garlic, and then Megan answered every single one. Everything ranging from varieties and planting methods, harvesting and storing, different uses for garlic as well as ways of cooking with garlic - all the way up to medicinal benefits and even talking about Megan's garlic festival! This is such a fun episode and I think you will enjoy getting to hear this intimate conversation from the private patron feed as a special summer bonus!* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *One Earth Health make the grass-fed organ supplements we use and trust.

So many of us come to ancestral foods because of our own or our family’s health. We’ve tried what the mainstream medical model has to offer and we’re done with it. We want to look for and work with alternatives.And that journey can be a lonely and fraught one. The world doesn’t provide much support for taking this road less travelled and yet, when doing hard things and making tough decisions we sooo need support.That’s why we wanted to bring this episode, taking your health in your own hands, to the podcast. To offer perspective, support and encouragement to you, wherever you are on your health journey.In it, Alison talks with her husband Rob. Between them they’ve had 40 years attempting to manage their health outside the mainstream.They cover what taking your health in your own hands means and why you’d want to do it. They share some examples of where they’ve done this in our their lives including fertility, digestion, sleep and eyesight. They share what you need to be aware of along the way, what helps, how food plays into the journey, how to know when to call in help, the resources they’ve used and what this attitude to life and health has given them.They also, in a special aftershow for patrons of the podcast, cover applying this philosophy to children, sharing some of the healing journey they've been through with their son.

What about cooking and eating ancestrally when you're in times of turmoil, or busy chaotic times - like having a new baby, or when people are sick, or when you're moving across countries!In this episode Alison and I are going to talk about all of these things because we are going through all of them. We will share some of our strategies and plans for using up food stores before a move, or preparing food in advance when there's a baby coming, and how we're going to keep our systems running despite all of the disruptions going on in normal life.Thank you to those of you who sent in the questions that inspired this episode - it's a really good one, and I think you will find it very useful.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *One Earth Health make the grass-fed organ supplements we use and trust.

Rebecca is a good friend and a good influence. She is the creator behind A Humble Place, with a website and an Instagram both by that name, where I first found her when I was looking for Charlotte Mason art studies, and I got many of her beautiful sets. In this episode, though, she is teaching me about her meal planning strategies. I am now using her method and it is revolutionizing everything that I am doing. I am so grateful to Rebecca for joining me today to discuss this because I am not by nature a meal planner. With a very busy summer coming up, I need to have some good frameworks in place to rely on for meal planning, having others being able to participate in the food preparation, being able to know what is coming down the pipeline; and it was really interesting to me how her meal planning works with an ancestral and seasonal food lifestyle, which is the way she and her family eat. So many meal planning ideas and options out there assume you're going to be going to the grocery store every couple of days and buying lots of convenience or unseasonal foods, which just doesn't suit the way a lot of us are eating. Thank you Rebecca for opening up a whole new world to me! I am so excited to share this episode with you today; enjoy!* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *The organ supplements we use and trust – get a 5% discount (and free shipping) on grass-fed supplements, including liver capsules by visiting: https://www.oneearthhealth.com/AncestralKitchen* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Get more news from Alison & Andrea by signing up to their newsletter here.For a free 30-page guide to Baking with Ancient Grains sign up for Alison's newsletter here!Get our three podcast cookbooks:Meals at the Ancestral HearthSpelt Sourdough Every DayThe Pastured Pork CookbookGet all three of our cookbooks!

Feeding babies and children a nutrient-dense ancestral diet is something that many moms have questions about. Whether the questions are "how do I start my child off on the right foot" or "I have older kids and we are just coming to this ancestral diet now - help, how do I transition them to this good food!" - these are things that we think about. Here to help us today is Christine Muldoon, from The Modern Ancestral Mamas Podcast. Christine and her co-host Corey were on our podcast a long time ago, episode # 27, and Christine is back to give us more of her great wisdom for feeding children.Topics today range from breastfeeding and the WAPF formula, to connection at the table and during mealtime; when do you start bringing children to the table and why that timing is so important; to picky eating and family food values and so much more. This is a wonderful conversation, Alison and I both enjoyed visiting with Christine so much. Patrons, be sure to hit your private podcast feed for a short aftershow with Christine where we hit her with one more question!* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *The organ supplements we use and trust – get a 5% discount (and free shipping) on grass-fed supplements, including liver capsules by visiting: https://www.oneearthhealth.com/AncestralKitchen* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Get more news from Alison & Andrea by signing up to their newsletter here.For a free 30-page guide to Baking with Ancient Grains sign up for Alison's newsletter here!Get our three podcast cookbooks:Meals at the Ancestral HearthSpelt Sourdough Every DayThe Pastured Pork CookbookGet all three of our cookbooks!
