According to the USDA, 95% of Americans are deficient in at least one nutrient.

Even more shocking is that In order to get the vitamin A content from one orange our grandparents ate, we’d need to consume 8 today.

Why is this happening?

One of the major reasons is our soil (and therefore the food we grow in our soil) is nutrient DEPLETED. The situation is so dire, in fact, that according to the FAO we only have 60 years of topsoil left.

This is a BIG problem with many devastating consequences.

Sadly, most people don’t fully understand why healthy soil is important or how to support food producers that regenerate our soil and planet.

(No judgies - I used to be one of them!)

Which is why this week’s podcast with Finian Makepeace, soil specialist and co-founder of Kiss the Ground, is devoted to breaking down the many detrimental outcomes of degraded soils AND the simple dietary steps we can take to restore nutrient density and environmental health.

Because every time we eat - we vote for SOMETHING.

Whether it’s:

• CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations)
• GMOs
• Pesticides
• Monocultures
• Organic/biodynamic produce
• Regenerative agriculture

Each of our choices has an impact.

So if you’re ready to wield the power of your fork for GOOD and become a truly conscious consumer and soil advocate tune in now!

Here are some of the enlightening topics we dig into:

• Why sustainable is not enough
• Why not all grass fed beef restores the environment
• Why cows can be GOOD for the environment
• Why too much carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is dangerous
• The crazy cool way plants store carbon
• The amount of insects killed by agricultural chemicals

• Why CAFOs are not the answer
• The 5 HUGE environmental problems healthy soil can fix
• The 2 important steps we can take as consumers
• How you can become a soil advocate
• And so much more!

Listen in, choose wisely and let’s heal our soil and planet together!

Show Notes:

Today, 40 million people suffer from anxiety in America. Alzheimer’s affects over 5 million and depression is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide.

Even more disheartening, is the fact that many people suffering from these brain-based conditions don’t have treatment options that work for them.

Because I have both genes for Alzheimer’s and a history of anxiety, I’m obsessed with finding new research-based strategies to keep my brain sharp, calm, and focused.

Which is why I was thrilled to interview Steve Wright (author of Maverick Healing and founder of HealthyGut.com) and learn about his favorite (and little known) brain and gut hacks of 2019!

Steve has always been a hero of mine (I used to watch him co-host on Chris Kresser’s podcast) and his story and knowledge of the latest brain health research will surprise and inspire you!

Here are some of the awesome topics we cover:

• The often overlooked mineral that helps people relax
• The secret ingredient that once made 7 Up a mood-boosting drink
• The street drug that has cured 70% of treatment-resistant PTSD
• What the Default Mode Network is, and why you need to know about it
• The B vitamin that can help you feel calm in large doses
• The supplement that helped his family member recover from suicidality
• Why Steve called 9-1-1 after taking a vitamin
• The vitamin that has been shown to cure addiction
• What chocolate cravings can mean about your brain chemistry
• The nutrient deficiency that stops healing
• How often you should rotate your supplements
• The cutting edge SIBO treatment that you need to know about

Since I was a teen, I’ve struggled with mental health issues that no doctor (or psychiatrist) knew how to treat.

It wasn’t until I adopted the paleo diet and suddenly felt calmer, clearer and happier than I had in YEARS, that I understood the food I was eating was affecting my emotions.

Today, the link between food and mood is a burgeoning area of research and something I’ve spend hundreds of hours studying, which is why this week’s podcast is devoted to the 3 steps I’ve taken to keep my mood more stable than it’s been in all my life AND some of the awesome new research I think you’ll benefit from knowing about.
