This episode with Kate Pope of Wild Nutritionist was a pure delight. Right off the bat I was surprised and delighted by her origin story and was instantly inspired. We talked about her history with dance and its healing power, working with youth in juvenile justice, how and when she learned to prioritize her mental and physical health over beauty standards and the love she has for her body and its innate healing potential. She shared her knack for the 'good life' and sourcing local grass-fed/finished meat, how she bootstrapped her way into becoming a chef, became a nutritional therapist and GAPS practitioner to her current path of educating and supporting mothers and their babies in creating and sustaining a healthy microbiome.
You will see her on Instagram eating cuts of meat with her hands you may never have heard of, prepared in the most delicious and exciting ways! She shares her motherhood journey online with an ease and authenticity that embodies flow and living in alignment with her purpose. Kate is real, smart, and funny and I know you are going to enjoy listening to her storytelling while learning so much.
Kate is the founder of the Regenerative Cooking School and offers several incredible masterclasses on things such as meat stock, mother-baby microbiome, fermented foods, sourcing local and so much more. She co-wrote a digital seasonal cookbook with her husband Alex (a butcher of course!) called Cooking: An Act of Love. She generously provides invaluable free resources on her website and Instagram page. She is also a Jaguar Alumni through Kimberly Ann Johnson and MotherCircle Facilitator with Kimberly and my previous guest Jessica Connolly.
Kate is working on a Fourth Trimester Foods cookbook and course with Kimberly that you are going to want to keep an eye out for this fall!
Enjoy this episode! I know I did and I expect we will do an encore in the near future because I had so many more questions are areas I wanted to explore with her!
