The science behind breast milk and why it's amazing for gut health — Dr. Kavita

4/30/2024
Dr. Kavita is a Family Medicine Physician, Lactation Consultant and Mother of 3. She has a wealth of medical experience spanning 17 years, including 6 years in Hospital Paediatrics at the Sydney Children’s Hospital Network including Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) at RHW, Randwick before further training to become a General Practitioner/Family Medicine Doctor. Despite her extensive Paediatric experience, she was shocked to see the maternal mental distress faced by new mothers. This distress is largely due to societal misconceptions about breastfeeding and newborn care and this is what ignited her passion and further training in Breastfeeding Medicine. She is an active member of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine. She is experienced in the model of Neuroprotective Developmental Care and a Possums NDC Practitioner. She is also certified in the Thompson Breastfeeding method. She is passionate about improving breastfeeding support and education.

5 gluten-free breads that actually taste good

4/16/2024
Can you believe it is 2024 and we don't have a single gluten-free bread that tastes amazing and is widely available. Why can't I go into a fast food chain and order a burger with good GF bread!? I know a lot of y'all are gluten-free like me, whether you're gluten intolerant or celiac or choose to cut gluten out of your diet. One of the most common questions I get is, "What gluten-free breads do you like that actually tastes good?" Because so often gluten-free bread is small and dry and just does not taste like bread at all. I've been gluten-free for about 6 years and I've tried dozens of gluten-free breads at this point. Today I'm going to share my top picks!

Others who like him call him the most famous farmer in the world, the high priest of the pasture, and the most eclectic thinker from Virginia since Thomas Jefferson. Those who don’t like him call him a bio-terrorist, Typhoid Mary, charlatan, and starvation advocate. He co-owns, with his family, Polyface Farm in Swoope, Virginia. Featured in the New York Times bestseller Omnivore’s Dilemma and award-winning documentary Food Inc., the farm services more than 5,000 families, 50 restaurants, 10 retail outlets, and a farmers’ market with salad bar beef, pigaerator pork, pastured poultry, and forestry products. When he’s not on the road speaking, he’s at home on the farm, keeping the callouses on his hands and dirt under his fingernails, mentoring young people, inspiring visitors, and promoting local, regenerative food and farming systems. In this episode, Joel shares how his family turned the worst piece of land into one of the most biodiverse farms in the country, why we ended up with a chemical-based agriculture system post-WWII, and what it will really take (logistically, financially, personally) to shift to a large-scale carbon-based food system.

Stop drinking tap water, and other toxins in your home — Wendy Kathryn, environmental toxins lawyer

10/31/2023
Wendy Kathryn is an environmental toxins lawyer turned clean living coach, who educates women about how toxins are impacting our health and our kids’ health, how to spot them, and how to avoid them. Wendy’s career has spanned making coffee as a Starbucks barista to reviewing and analyzing environmental toxins regulations in Europe. Her toxins experience dates back to over a decade ago, when she tossed everything in her home that had a fragrance in to the dumpster because my 9 month old daughter had terrible eczema. Ironically, Wendy worked in environmental toxins regulation (and still does) but she hadn’t put it together until that moment that while she was so concerned with toxins in drinking water, soil and air, these same toxins were in her lotions and skincare and even her baby girl’s diaper cream! Wendy dug deep in to the law and once she fully understood that there were ZERO regulations limiting toxins in our cleaners and personal care products, she found her life’s purpose.

10 regenerative brands you need to try, plus marketing tips for farmers — Jean-Marie Merkle, Dig Digital

8/29/2023
Meet Jean-Marie Merkle: an extroverted maximalist with a knack for branding, project management, and regenerative agriculture. With a decade in the design world under her belt, she is all about sharp design, savvy strategy, and forging connections. Starting from urban roots in Pennsylvania, she left home at 18 to study Fashion Marketing in Philadelphia. A detour led her to New York, where she worked with Diddy and later landed a Project Manager role at a tiny Brooklyn design agency, sparking her career journey. After hustling between cities, burnout hit, and Jean-Marie sought change. She embraced a healthier lifestyle and discovered a passion for regenerative agriculture. An enlightening stay at Quarter Spring Farm in Tennessee rewired her outlook, trading screens for farm chores and kindling an affinity for farm life. Witnessing the magic of goat milk soap-making sparked an idea, adding it to the farm's offerings. The joy she brought farmers fueled a realization: her skills were meant for the farming community. A year of Nashville exploration followed, including farming classes and soul-searching. A car crash, the pandemic, and some cosmic alignment led to her own LLC. Jean-Marie jumped into projects to build credibility, then aimed higher, moving to Lancaster County, PA, where farming and history converged. Her business shifted focus to amplify farmers and disrupt the broken food system. Now, living her dream, Jean-Marie thrives by boosting clients' digital presence in the agriculture realm, excited for the shared journey ahead.

Mark is a premed-trained retired EMS Paramedic and acute care medical educator with a background in organic farming. In 1997, Mark was awarded the Best of the West grower award for being the first farmer in the USA to initiate an “on farm audited HACCP type risk management system” with the Odwalla juice company. Mark has lectured on the safety and gut biome benefits of raw milk at USC, Stanford, UCSB, Rutgers, University of Guelph, UVIC BC Canada, UCLA, CSUF, Chico State and other Universities and medical schools in Australia, USA and Canada. Max Kane is an American entrepreneur, local food activist, author, engaging speaker, natural health advocate, and a leading expert in non-toxic, raw dairy production. Max is the CEO of three privately held companies and the author of several books on food and health. Max has over $50M in marketing experience driving revenue to small farms, and has apprenticed under hundreds of farmers around the United States learning about food production. Max is a survivor of degenerative Crohn’s disease, the first US citizen to voluntarily remove himself from permanent federal disability, and the only person on Earth to bring affiliate marketing to local food. Max believes that one of the greatest gifts we can give to the next generation is a thriving regenerative food system. Knowing that true wealth is found in health, relationships, and spiritual connection Max loves creating memorable experiences with loved ones. Max buys and sells real estate, studies political philosophy, eats a raw food animal-based diet, and is a savant at the game Othello.
