Are you ready for an honest conversation about meat? This is such an important topic, so listen in as we unpack the reasons why meat has been vilified, why conventional meat is so bad for you, and how regenerative farming can transform not only our health - but our planet too.

Today’s guest is Darby Simpson, former mechanical engineer turned full-time livestock farmer from Central Indiana. Darby is passionate about repairing the environment through regenerative farming practices and changing the conversation around meat as a part of a healthy, sustainable lifestyle. In this conversation, he shares thought-provoking and data-packed information that will help us think about how we approach meat in our daily lives.

• Why meat has become so controversial in the diet and nutrition space
• Why pasture raised meats are more nutrient dense than conventionally raised meats
• How farming practices impact the environment
• What questions we should be asking our local farmers
• Which labels to be weary of at the supermarket

I hope this conversation causes you to dig a little deeper and think about how our food choices impact not just our health of our bodies - but the health of our planet.
