Host, Michele, interviews Sander Van Stee, a farmer with aspirations of becoming a fully regenerative farmer. Sander highlights his transition from traditional commercial farming to regenerative agriculture. Sander also discusses the differences between organic and regenerative farming, the health benefits of raw versus pasteurized milk, and the economic feasibility of regenerative farming. The conversation touches upon the importance of eating whole foods, the harmful effects of processed foods, and the critical role consumers play in driving change through their purchasing choices. Sander's health started slipping. Years of neglecting sleep and recovery finally caught up to him. He saw several specialists, but no one was able to figure out why his body stopped producing testosterone. He started to question everything: the medical system, his health choices, and even the way his family farmed. He was searching for ways to improve animal welfare when he came across regenerative agriculture. It took him 6 years to regain his health. Now he has 4 boys and his family also raises pastured turkeys which follow behind our grass fed beef much like how birds used to follow the ancient herds of bison that used to roam North America. He hopes to grow the regenerative side of the family farm to where they could transition their commercial dairy farm to regenerative practices as well. Sander introduces his company, Moral Eats, which is dedicated to improving farm animal welfare and producing high-quality food. 03:10 Introduction and Welcome 03:19 Personal Journey to Regenerative Farming 04:16 Health Struggles and Discoveries 05:46 Exploring Regenerative Agriculture 08:13 Health Improvements and Lifestyle Changes 11:46 Understanding Regenerative Farming 18:05 Comparing Farming Practices 19:59 Impact on Meat Quality 25:05 Raw Milk and Gut Health 27:45 The Role of Enzymes and Cytokines in Milk 29:36 Debunking Raw Milk Myths 32:06 Sustainability and Cost-Effectiveness in Farming 35:04 Challenges and Benefits of Regenerative Agriculture 41:21 The Impact of Diet on Health 44:04 The Importance of Whole Foods 47:46 The Misconception About Cholesterol and Fat 50:03 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Connect with Sander Van Stee: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvJwv8qs9AL7jo1pltVgcEAhttps://www.instagram.com/moraleats/https://www.facebook.com/MoralEatsFarms/https://moral-eats.localline.cahttps://www.moraleats.comLet's Connect!

In this episode of 'The Beauty In The Mess,' host Michelle interviews Tina, a podcaster who describes herself as a 'recovering people pleaser.' Tina shares her backstory, growing up in a single-parent household and how cultural expectations led her to constantly seek approval from others. A pivotal comment from a past relationship spurred Tina to reassess her life choices and embark on a journey of self-discovery, which included confronting her inner child and making significant lifestyle and mindset changes. Tina discusses the ongoing struggle of breaking free from people-pleasing tendencies, the importance of setting boundaries, and offers practical advice on how to start embracing one's true self. She also speaks about the inception of her podcast, 'Courageous Inner Beast,' which provides a platform for women to share their unfiltered and uncensored stories of courage. Tina is a disabled podcast host of 'Courageous Inner Beast. She strives to ensure women have the space to choose themselves and share their courageous stories, whether it is changing how you are perceived within a family dynamic, leaving a comfortable 9-5, or advocating for yourself. She believes women of color are allowed to take the first step and don't need permission to do so. After someone told her that her passivity was unattractive, she reviewed her life and decided to become as assertive and courageous as she could ever be! She knows that even when we are scared of making that first step, we need to say do it anyways. Make choice despite the paralyzing and roaring feeling growing within them. We also need to dive within ourselves to heal the inner child and play more often as adults. Tina loves to travel, read, and be present with nature. Her favorite national park so far is Glacier National Park. 03:05 Introduction and Welcome 03:13 Tina's Backstory: Growing Up as a People Pleaser 03:31 A Turning Point: Realizing the Need for Change 07:17 The Journey of Self-Discovery and Healing 09:51 Overcoming People Pleasing: Strategies and Challenges 18:27 Navigating Relationships and Setting Boundaries 26:10 Lessons from My Mother 27:25 Discovering the Inner Child 28:31 Journaling and Therapy 35:00 The Warm Line: A Lifeline 37:18 Podcasting Journey 41:43 Facing Fears and Taking Action 44:38 Conclusion and Farewell Connect with Tina O Hoang: https://open.spotify.com/show/2LZ7zMXRFUHW9Hqy2nVefe?si=f44f48a2f4184525&nd=1&dlsi=0dec68b9564d4ee6https://www.tinaohoang.comhttps://www.instagram.com/tinaohoang/https://www.linkedin.com/in/tina-o-hoang/ Let's Connect!
