Finding Vitality Through Nature & Regenerative Farming
The power of healing can be found in the simplest of things: the Earth. It’s easy to take for granted dirt, farming, planting food, and what goes into the tomato we pick up casually on the grocery store shelves. Listen to hear a powerful story of healing, the impact that farming and soil has on our health, and small steps you can take to make a difference on your health and the environment.
In this episode Kat and Landon sit down with Jordan Rubin, co-founder and CEO of Ancient Nutrition, a supplement company with its mission to restore our health, strength and vitality by providing history's healthiest whole food nutrients to the modern world. Jordan has an incredible healing story about his struggle with chronic illness, the dramatic toll it took on his body, and how he was able to heal with the power of food (and much more).
“We tend to take for granted that behind every organic food, every organic juice, every organic supplement - there are farmers so that you can eat the way you want to. It’s an under-appreciated trade.”
“40% of food in the world turns into food waste that goes into landfills.”
