We’ve all heard about the controversy surrounding glyphosate, Roundup’s main ingredient. 

In 2015 The International Agency for Research on Cancer concluded glyphosate may possibly cause cancer in humans. 

Thousands of lawsuits have also been filed against Bayer, the maker of Roundup, and in 2018 a groundskeeper, diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, was awarded $289 million. 

Yet, the EPA and FDA deem glyphosate safe, which is why it can still be found in our food and many paleo staples. 

Thankfully, Dr. Stephanie Seneff Ph.D., a senior research scientist at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, author, and glyphosate expert is on this week’s podcast to cut through the controversy. We discuss the research regarding glyphosate’s safety, how glyphosate exerts its toxic effects,  foods most often contaminated with glyphosate (I think this will surprise you!), and what we can do to help our body detoxify. 

You do NOT want to miss this episode! Here are some of the other interesting tidbits we’ll cover…

• Simples ways to detox glyphosate
• The most common foods contaminated with glyphosate
• The link between glyphosate, autism and neurodegenerative disease
• How glyphosate affects gut microbes and immune health
• How glyphosate affects mental health
• How glyphosate affects sleep 
• The link between reproductive issues and glyphosate
• The link between vitamin D deficiency and glyphosate
• Why collagen is particularly vulnerable to glyphosate’s destruction
• The animal products most often tainted with glyphosate
• The difference between non-GMO and organic
• Simple ways to improve immune health
• 3 ways you to reduce glyphosate in food and community
• And so much more!

A recent human trial demonstrated that eating wild meat (kangaroo) caused lower levels of post-meal inflammation than eating conventionally-raised beef. 

In other words, how the animal was raised may have affected the level of inflammation in the body after eating it. 

When people ate wild meat they had lower levels of inflammation and when they ate meat raised in confinement, they had higher levels of inflammation. 

And while we don’t yet know exactly why this happened, Dr. Fred Provenza, acclaimed author, professor and researcher believes it may have a lot to do with underrated, yet powerful nutrients called secondary compounds. 

In fact, though you don’t hear much about them, secondary compounds have been shown to…

• Reduce inflammation
• Provide antioxidant protection
• Protect against cancer
• Improve mood
• Reduce the risk of diabetes
• Help control appetite
• And so much more!

Most importantly, the levels of secondary compounds change dramatically in meat depending upon what the animal ate and how it was raised. 

Tune in to this week’s fascinating podcast with Dr. Provenza to learn about the little-known, yet important, differences in grass-fed and conventionally raised meats and what it means for your health. Here are some of my favorite takeaways…

• The benefits of secondary compounds for human health
• The nutritional difference between pastured meats and CAFO meat
• The demonstrated changes in human health when you eat CAFO vs. pastured meat
• The difference between plant-based burgers and grass-fed beef
• The environmental issues with plant-based burgers
• Why (and how) animals benefit environmental health
• Simple ways to get more secondary compounds in our diet
• And much more!

Dr. Provenza is one of my favorite people I’ve ever interviewed! 

He’s passionate, educated, humble, kind and way ahead of his time!
