In this must-listen episode of The Mind Gut Conversation, I sit down with regenerative organic farming icon, Joel Salatin, to expose the hidden flaws of industrial agriculture and its impact on our health and the environment. We dive into how soil and gut microbes are deeply connected, why today’s food system is failing us and how his innovative, regenerative farming approach offers a simple solution.
We discuss many topics & questions related to health, but the ones which stand out are:
· How industrial farming is making us sick – and what we can do about it
· The shocking nutritional differences between different farming methods
· How gut health and soil health are more connected than you think
· What does “organic” really mean?
Salatin runs Polyface Farm, a pioneering regenerative organic farm in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, and is the author of 16 books on sustainable food systems. He’s been a vocal advocate for food freedom, chemical-free farming, and self-sufficient homesteading, deeply challenging the
status quo of modern agriculture.
If you care about what’s on your plate, your microbiome and the future of food, this episode is for you. Tune in & let us know what you think!
