On this episode of "Nurturing Resilience" I interview Kate Kavanaugh who is a farmer, butcher, entrepreneur, podcaster, and lifelong learner. She is the founder of Western Daughters in Denver Colorado and podcast creator and host of Mind Body Soil, which brings together the interconnected themes of our bodies, food, and land. She brings her experience in regenerative agriculture and nutrition along with her particular brand of storytelling to everything she does. She lives with her horses, goats, cows, and birds on a small farm with her husband Josh.
Together we journey through a wide variety of topics including:
Regenerative agriculture and why this style of farming is so important for our health of our bodies, the land, and animals
Her own personal transition from vegetarian to carnivore
The science of soil and the relationship to our own mineral depletion in our bodies
Vilification of animal meats and fats
Seed oils and their affects on our health, grain feeding, monocropping, and round-up
Fertility, menopause, and death in a culture that does not handle grief well
This episode is packed with so much knowledge on food, soil, and health as Kate eloquently connects all of the dots, backs it with research, and her own personal experiences. Even if you are already a meat eater, this is NOT an episode to be missed.
