In this deeply personal and eye-opening episode of At the Helm, Dr. Charles Helm sits down with Craig Cameron, a regenerative cattle farmer from Alberta, Canada, whose journey into sustainable agriculture began with a life-changing event: his daughter’s birth and her unique health needs.
Craig shares how his quest to provide the most nourishing food for his daughter led him to question everything he knew about conventional farming. From soil health and plant diversity to omega-3s and ethical meat production, Craig walks us through the science and soul of regenerative agriculture.
Discover how Peony Farm is producing “precision-crafted regenerative beef” that’s optimized for human health—and why not all beef is created equal. We also explore the environmental impact of cattle, the role of microbes in soil and nutrition, and how farming practices can be both ancient and cutting-edge.
Whether you're a health professional, a conscious consumer, or just curious about the future of food, this episode will challenge your assumptions and inspire new ways of thinking about what’s on your plate.
