We’ve reached the final episode of the Sustainable Dish podcast, and I am joined by my friend Robb Wolf to help me close it out. During this casual conversation, we look back on how our ideologies and priorities have changed over the years - from the time of a dogmatic approach to Paleo to now when we are better able to incorporate nuance when it’s needed. And it wouldn’t be a conversation with Robb if we didn’t debunk the latest study vilifying meat. The latest study from Harvard finds a correlation between red meat consumption and type 2 diabetes. Like other epidemiological studies before it, this, too falls apart once you start digging into the data. The chat concludes with an update from Robb about what’s in the future for LMNT. And I report the latest news from GFJA. Episode resources and transcripts are available at www.sustainabledish.com.

It’s no secret that our food system is broken. Food production has been consolidated and corporatized, leading to the illusion of choice and abundance. The reality is a landscape of nutrient-poor, ultra-processed convenience food. As a nation, we are overfed, and undernourished, and “lifestyle” diseases are compromising our health and happiness. On today’s show, my co-host, James Connolly, sits down for an in-depth conversation with Jennifer Stojkovic. Jennifer is a food-tech leader, founder of Vegan Women Summit (VWS), and author of The Future of Food is Female. That’s right - Jennifer advocates for plant-based eating! She is also passionate about tapping into the potential of women to change the food system. Her book, The Future of Food is Female, features women who are using their expertise and wisdom to change the food industry. Listen to this episode with an open mind. While I don’t wholeheartedly agree with everything Jennifer states during the conversation, she hits on many of the same points we’ve discussed in previous episodes. It’s time to see past our differences and look for common ground. James and Jennifer dive into a nuanced and respectful discussion around many hot-button issues plaguing the current food environment.

Will Harris, owner of White Oak Pastures, has been a guest on Sustainable Dish many times. This time, he is joined by his daughters, Jenni and Jodi. They are part of the 5th generation in this 6-generation family farm in Bluffton, Georgia. They’ve helped turn White Oak into more than a farm but a tourist destination. On this episode of the show, I chat with the Harris Family about how White Oak Pastures has evolved over the years and revitalized the town of Bluffton. Not only do they ship their high-quality meat all over the US, but they also offer:
Will latest project is his book, A Bold Return to Giving a Damn: One Farm, Six Generations in the Future of Food. It’s out now! I am asking my community to go out and get the book immediately. First-week sales are critical in helping a book get on bestseller lists. This is not simple for the accolades. When a book is distinguished on these lists, it brings the media, which means more attention to the regenerative agriculture movement. Let’s work together to get the word out. Then, come back and listen in while I chat with Will, Jenni, and Jodi. Episode resources and transcripts are available at www.sustainabledish.com.

Gareth Wyn Jones is a hill farmer in Wales and a passionate advocate for grazing livestock as a means for environment and human health. Gareth’s family has been grateful stewards of the land for 375 years, growing produce and raising livestock. He has been using his media presence to provide honest information about farming in hopes of sending the message that livestock is not the primary source of our environmental woes. He acknowledges the divide between urban and rural and the loss of our connection to the land. The divide creates the opportunity for people to be easily misguided and misled by the people in power. Gareth’s message is for people to come together and “build a better world on our bellies.” Listen in and get inspired by Gareth’s message.

Andrea Bemis started her blog, Dishing Up the Dirt, as a way to document her life as a farmer and home cook. When she and her husband, Taylor, wanted to settle down, they moved to his family farm in Massachusetts. Eventually, they wanted to start something for themselves, so Andrea and Taylor bought six acres in Parkdale, Oregon, which became Tumbleweed Farm. Through farming, Andrea found a love of food. She began by sharing recipes with her CSA, which grew into a book, Dishing Up the Dirt. Now, Andrea is a mother with a passion for instilling an appreciation for food in her children. Her newest book, Let Them Eat Dirt, features simple, nutrient-dense foods perfect for the pickiest eaters. Episode resources and transcripts are available at www.sustainabledish.com.

There’s lots of buzz around lab-grown meat right now, and you may be thinking, “What is this stuff?” On this episode, I am joined by Paul Wood, AO (Officer of the Order of Australia), who is going to give us a crash course on lab-grown meat, including the process of growing meat from cells, all in inputs involved, actual cost behind production, and the final product results. Paul takes the emotion, ethics, and politics out of the issue by focusing only on the business and technology aspects. Through his analysis, he has come to one conclusion - it won’t work - at least in its current form. There is a lot of work and tech advancement needed to produce cell-based meat at a level to make good on the lofty promise of feeding the world. Succinctly put, the technology works, but the business models don’t. As an immunologist with decades of experience in vaccinations and large-scale fermentation, Paul has an in-depth understanding of what it takes for these tech companies to produce food-grade products and the challenges they are up against. Check out Paul’s article: Eight Key Questions about Lab-Grown Meat. Episode resources and transcripts are available at www.sustainabledish.com.

“What to eat?” This is a question we ask ourselves several times a day. The answer seems simple enough, but there are endless factors that drives this decision: your values, budget, time, mood, and last but not least - taste. To answer this question, Martin Cohen, PhD, taps into philosophy. Dr. Cohen is a British philosopher who blends “psychological and social studies with philosophical theory” and aims to explain complex problems in easy-to-understand ways. His latest book is I Think Therefore I Eat: The World’s Greatest Minds Tackle the Food Question. Throughout this book, Dr. Cohen uses the wisdom of philosophers to answer the question: “What to eat?” Episode resources and transcripts are available at www.sustainabledish.com.

We are dipping back into the archives to bring you an episode especially for “Supplement September.” We are taking a deep dive into the importance of nutrition for fertility and pregnancy.

For over 15 years, Ayla has been advancing the health and empowerment of thousands of clients, patients, peers, and mentees, at the intersection of nutritional science, functional medicine, and evidence-based holistic solutions.

My good friend, Chris Kresser, M.S., L.Ac, is back on the show. It’s been a while since our last conversation, so today, we are catching up on what’s new in his world. As an internationally recognized leader in ancestral health and functional integrative medicine, you may be familiar with his work. He is the author of The Paleo Cure and Unconventional Medicine and the founder of the ADAPT Practitioner Training Program. In an effort to reach more lives, he developed the supplement line, Adapt Naturals, a streamlined stack of supplements designed to meet the most critical needs. If you are like me, you may be skeptical of the supplement industry. And there is good reason to be - financial interests, misleading information, poor quality products, and the list goes on. It is difficult to find supplements that you can trust and that actually work. With Chris’s extensive research and time interacting with patients, I put my trust in his products above the rest. This is the perfect episode if you have supplement confusion, looking to update your routine or have questions about the recent popularity of mushroom-based products on the market.

Running a successful bison ranch takes more than land and a dream. Jon Sepp, one of the founders of Roam Free Ranch, will agree. Jon knew from childhood that bison ranching was in his future. After 10 years in the military, he transitioned to ranch life in Montana. But it wasn’t until meeting Brittany Masters, the other half of the Roam Free team, that pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place. Brittany was ready to escape the grind of the corporate world and she brought her marketing talents to Roam Free. Together they were able to bring high-quality bison products to market and communicate their mission to consumers. You can even find their products in most Costcos now! Listen in as Jon and Brittany talk about their journey to get where they are today. Episode resources and transcripts are available at www.sustainabledish.com.

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of vision loss and blindness in adults. And who better to explain the connection between sight and diabetes than an ophthalmologist? Dr. James Muecke has been working as an ophthalmologist in Adelaide, South Australia, for over 30 years. In 2020 he was named Australian of the Year for his work with the nonprofit, Sight for All. Shortly before this honor, he began exploring the link between nutrition and eyesight. Now he is using his recognition to spread the message that losing vision to diabetes is not inevitable. Diabetes can be put into remission, and vision can be restored with the help of nutrition and lifestyle interventions. James is currently working on a book that compiles the lessons learned through his work. During this episode, James shares some of his case studies and gives advice to anyone that might be concerned about their vision. Listen in as James and I chat about the two major impacts on the eye in people with diabetes, vision check recommendations, and common barriers to lifestyle changes.

If you ever get the chance, go to the Old Salt Festival in Montana. It’s a celebration of people coming together to support land stewardship in Montana. This year I was fortunate to be one of the speakers along with others in the regenerative space, plus regional authors, poets, and musicians. Now that I’ve returned and things have settled a bit, I have Cole Mannix, president and founder of Old Salt Co-op, on the show to talk about his experience with ranching and growing his business. Cole grew up in a ranching family but spent a brief time in Boston pursuing a master's in theology before returning to his ranching roots in Montana. When he returned, he started working for a startup beef cooperative and then became the Associate Director at Western Landowners Alliance. Ultimately, in 2020 he left to begin forming Old Salt Co-op. Cole’s vision for Old Salt is to be “more than a meat company.” It is a regional meat economy with vertically integrated enterprises. The goal is not to produce meat for a national market or to grow big enough to be sold to a larger company. Functioning as a co-op allows for the direct involvement of producers and employees while fostering lasting relationships with customers. Cole and I chat about what it was like growing up in Montana, why we need to create more inefficiencies in the food system, and the future goals for Old Salt Co-op.

If you’ve been considering a career in nutrition, my podcast producer, Emily Soape, RD, has some sage advice. After years of weighing the pros and cons of going the route of registered dietitian, she finally completed the journey of obtaining the official designation of “RD”. As Emily explains in the episode, this may not be the optimal choice for everyone. It comes down to your ultimate goals for your career and your personal strengths. There are many options. Currently, Emily is working as a clinical dietitian while figuring out her career's next steps. Listen in for advice on getting started with a dietetic internship and how real world experience changes perspective.

Sugar is ubiquitous. Our grocery stores are brimming with sugar-added products, both from the usual suspects like cereal, soda, and other sweet treats and from products marketed as “healthy” that can contain a whopping dose of the sweet stuff. Likely though, if you’ve been following my work for awhile, you already know this. But how did we get here? The new book, The World of Sugar: How the Sweet Stuff Transformed Our Politics, Health, and Environment over 2000 Years, seeks the answer. On this episode, my co-host, James Connolly is interviewing the author, Ulba Bosma. Ulbe is a Senior Research for the International Institute of Social History. His research centers on labor and labor relations viewed from a social, historical, and geographical lens. Ulbe’s unique perspective brings to light how sugar production affected cultures worldwide through industrialization, labor migration, and human health.

Shannon is the Chef & CEO of Sap Bush Hollow Farm, a three generation family business. After graduating with a PhD in sustainable agriculture, Shannon became a subversive cookbook author as a means to get her message out into the world. She went on to write six additional books, started a podcast, and expanded the family business. Throughout this growth, Shannon found herself overworked, stretched thin, and searching for a better way. This episode originally aired June 8, 2021. The pandemic was still in full swing in many parts of the country. People recognized the fragility of our food system, and some of us were starting to reevaluate how we spent our time. Even with the crisis behind us, those two things remain true. In this interview with Shannon, she shares how she began to rethink how she viewed money and time. She also discusses her most recent book, Redefining Rich which is full of lessons learned as an entrepreneur trying to balance family and career.

“Why do we have to do it like everyone else?” This is the question that Jill Winger asked herself years ago that led to impulse-buying a neglected farmstead with her husband. After years of learning “old-fashioned” skills required for homesteading, like raising chickens, preserving food, and maintaining a great sourdough starter, she is now a mentor and teacher for those who want to do the same. Her website, The Prairie Homestead, is a vast resource for homesteaders at every level: from the urbanite with nothing more than windowsill space to long-time farmers looking for community. In her new book (available for pre-order now), Old Fashioned on Purpose: Cultivating a Slower More Joyful Life, Jill shares lessons learned from choosing to turn from modern conveniences and adopt skills of self-sufficiency. In this episode, we discuss how Jill got started homesteading and where she sees the movement headed now.

Phosphorus is essential for life. It’s the second most abundant mineral in the body and critical for bone structure and bodily functions. Like humans, plants need phosphorus, too, and because of this, it is a key component of fertilizer. Phosphorus also has a dark side. It’s used to make firebombs, rat poison, and nerve gas. The increased reliance on phosphorus has created dangerous conditions for humans and animals through its misuse and overuse. Award-winning journalist Dan Egan explores both sides of phosphorus in his new book, The Devil’s Element: Phosphorus and a World Out of Balance.

Thomas Locke is part of the recent movement of office workers turned farmers.

Well For Culture Co-founders Chelsey Luger and Thosh Collins on Reclaiming Indigenous Wisdom for Wellness
It won’t come as a surprise that Indigenous cultures are often overlooked in conversations about health and well-being. The current anti-meat narrative often demonizes traditional foodways and appropriates sacred rituals and ceremonies of First Nation people into performative, Instagrammable acts or a commercialized product. Chelsey Luger and Thosh Collins are on a mission to reclaim and revitalize Indigenous health and wellness. As members of Native American tribes, Chelsey and Thosh cofounded Well For Culture, an Indigenous wellness initiative that promotes whole lifeways through ancestral teachings to optimize contemporary Indigenous lifestyles. This work is not just for Indigenous people. Everyone can benefit from the Seven Circles, their holistic model for wellness. Their book, The Seven Circles: Indigenous Teachings for Living Well, shares the seven interconnected areas of life through lessons from Indigenous teachings and gives practical advice on how to engage with this wisdom. Episode resources and transcripts are available at www.sustainabledish.com.

True health is more than just nutrition, and with that in mind, today’s episode is a departure from our usual topics. My co-host, James Connolly, is taking a deep dive into the field of psychiatry with guest Robert Whitaker. Robert is a journalist who specializes in investigating science and medicine, especially as it relates to psychiatry and mental health. He is also the editor of Mad in America, an online hub dedicated to rethinking psychiatry in America. Through his books, podcasts, and online media, Robert calls for change in the drug-based care of mental health that has ultimately failed our society. Please note that if you are someone struggling with mental health issues and pharmaceuticals are working for you, please continue taking them and don't feel shame in this. Life is short, and all people deserve peace and happiness. As serious "questioners," James and I try to give a voice to those who question commonly held beliefs, and Whitaker is a great example of this. Our goal is to shed light on topics and keep asking questions. If you're someone who has a different view than this guest, feel free to share, respectfully, in the comments.

And like other similar global policies, the science backing these policies is flawed and does not account for the impact it will have on farmers and rural communities. What is likely to happen is an increase in micronutrient deficiencies once meat is no longer available or affordable and the destruction of the rural way of life. What is often overlooked in these policy debates are the personal stories of farmers experiencing this firsthand. This short but impactful episode will give some insight into how New Zealand farmers are dealing with the new government policies.

Have you ever dreamed of leaving your office job to start a ranch? That’s what Matt Skoglund did. Matt started his career as a lawyer in Chicago, then moved to Montana to work for National Resources Defense Council (NRDC). Even though Matt found working for the NRDC to be interesting and fulfilling, he felt like something was missing. That “something” turned out to be bison. In 2018 Matt and his wife Sarah started North Bridger Bison Ranch and haven’t looked back since. Episode Credits: Thank you to all who’ve made this show possible.

Glen Burrows is the co-founder of The Ethical Butcher, a UK-based online marketplace for meat from regenerative farms. In 2020 Glen started Regenuary as a way to change the conversation around food and the environment. Instead of Veganuary, where the focus is solely on eating vegan for a month, Regenuary encourages everyone, regardless of diet preferences, to look at the sourcing of their food and to choose food from regenerative farming. Even if you aren’t in the UK and can’t access The Ethical Butcher’s delicious products, you can still participate in Regenuary by engaging in open conversations about where our food comes from.

Did you know that the health of your mouth is closely tied to the health of your body? It’s true. My guest today, health-based dentist Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, explains how many of today’s chronic diseases are associated with what’s going on in your mouth and teeth. Michelle’s story is a familiar one. After practicing conventional dentistry for 10 years, she began to develop symptoms that couldn’t be explained or treated. She discovered her condition was caused by mercury poisoning from performing standard dentistry procedures. Not only did her research into her own health resolve her issues, it completely changed the way she practiced. One thing Michelle makes clear is how critical nutrition is to a healthy mouth. If you are concerned with good oral care, this episode is a must-listen.
