The Regenaissance Podcast

I sat down with my great friends Brett & Harry of the Meat Mafia to share my full story. I started Regenaissance because of what I’ve gone through the last 3 years: -Brother’s caretaker for 6 months as I watched colon cancer, chemo, all the opoids torture him alive, eventually taking his life -My mother passing away same day this launched -Healthcare absolutely failing me last 2 years, embarking on my own hellish journey to where I searched independent and finally got answers America spends $4.5 trillion on healthcare (would be 4th highest GPD in the world) and where does that get us? -75% of Americans are overweight, obese or severely obese -66% of children’s diets are ultra processed junk, which causes Non alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (rates have more than doubled last 10 years) We are the only country in the world that allows these pharmaceutical drug commercials being shoved down our throats (New Zealand doesn’t count) Relying on the institutions that we are supposed to trust have gotten us here. And that is why Regenaissance is about reconnecting us back to our food, it will change your life meeting ranchers/farmers and having their fresh, nutrient dense food.

Ron is the founder of Buffalo Wool Co, where he makes garments out of bison wool. This was interesting hearing about his process of making the garments because bison, cows, etc are not just for food but much much more. Twitter Their website
