A Farmish Kind of Life

321: Food is medicine, but not a miracle


Listen Later

Today’s episode is a bit of a heart-to-heart (literally and figuratively). After a couple weeks of unexpected health stuff, I found myself thinking a lot about the promises we often hear in the homesteading and simple living world. Namely, the insinuation that if you just live “right,” you’ll never get sick.

But in real life? It’s not that simple.

In this episode, we dive into:

  • The seductive promise of clean, simple living, and where it gets toxic and dangerous
  • How guilt creeps in when you “do everything right” but your body still glitches
  • The difference between supporting your health and controlling it
  • Why we need more honesty (and less shame) in the wellness world
  • And how, deep down, this whole conversation comes back to one ugly word: pride
  • (Main topic of the episode starts at 6:52, after updates from the lifestead!)
