Are you making informed decisions about your food consumption and its environmental impact?
In our latest episode of The Thriving Mama, I had the pleasure of speaking with my good friend Autumn Smith, a pioneering expert in regenerative farming who overcame her own health issues through a whole foods diet and co-founded Paleovalley and Wild Pastures.
Autumn shared profound insights on the relationship between dietary choices, personal health, and environmental sustainability.
This episode was particularly important to me because there is so much confusion about animal versus plant based diets out there.
My 3 Biggest Takeaways Were...
1. Regenerative agriculture practices like water retention, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity are vital for not only restoring soil health but also mitigating floods, droughts, and improving farmers' livelihoods.
2. While there are debates about the best diets, ethically raised animal products offer unique nutrients essential for human health and can be part of an environmentally sustainable food system.
3. Knowing the actual farming practices behind labels like "organic" and "grass-fed" is crucial for making informed and impactful food choices.
P.S. Autumn was so gracious and gave my listeners some great discounts on both Paleovalley and Wild Pastures products.
