Today I’m taking you on a deep dive into something most of us don’t think enough about: where our food comes from. I sat down with my friend Adam Mason of Heal Farms, right on his pasture in the sunshine, to talk about regenerative farming and why it's not just about being ”organic”—it's about restoring health from the soil up. We explore what actually goes on in industrial farming (spoiler alert: it’s not pretty), how it’s affecting your health, and why that “grass-fed” label at the grocery store might be misleading.
We also break down how this all connects to athletic performance, inflammation, and what you’re really putting into your body every time you eat. Whether you're a hardcore athlete, someone recovering from an injury, or just trying to make better food choices, this episode will give you a whole new perspective on meat, farming, and your overall well-being. Get ready to rethink what “healthy eating” actually means!
