Discourse around meat production and eating meat is fraught with judgments, misconceptions, and a disconnection to the natural world and ecosystem at large.  My time in Texas has brought me closer to the end cycle of an animal's life, and the courageous acts of butchery that conscious land stewards – such as today's guest, Robby Sansom – are committed to. I recently joined him during a harvest of a Bison which was mind-blowing.  Robby's regenerative farm, Force of Nature, was founded on the belief that one can and should enjoy meat without sacrificing their values. We all know the dark side of industrial farming and have been force-fed a lot of hype around the virtuous wonders of plant-based eating and agriculture. On the other hand, regenerative farming offers the truly revolutionary opportunity to collaborate with the natural world in a way that's actually beneficial for the planet.  Sink your teeth into this juicy episode where Robby and I carve out space for an alternative agricultural reality to the dysfunctional one that's eating this planet alive.    03:50 — The Harvest of a Bison  Nourishing life beyond its own Giving consumers a choice to be intentional with what they eat What it feels like being witness to an animal’s death How the modern experience disconnects us from the natural world    23:16 — Conventional, Organic, and Regenerative Farming  The evolution of conventional farming  Combatting nature’s food systems  Exploring the organic food movement and its shortcomings The environmental crisis caused by tilling soil  Soil loss and food insecurity – imagining what will happen if we don’t move towards regenerative farming   46:54 — How Farmers Can Transition Into Regenerative Farming?

According to the American Psychological Association, chronic stress is linked to the six leading causes of death. When most people think of stress, they think of their job, traffic, tense relationships, current events, things like that. But the root of so much of the stress we experience comes down to a deficiency in one overlooked nutrient: magnesium. So, if you're ready to help your body deal with stress, instead of putting a band-aid on it after the fact, you’re going to want some Magnesium Breakthrough.
