    Does the source of your food really impact your symptoms, inflammation, and long-term healing?

    If you’re living with autoimmune disease and trying to eat “healthy,” there’s a missing piece no one’s talking about: how your food is grown or raised. In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with regenerative farmer Sander van Stee, who shares the surprising science of how soil, farming practices, and food systems are directly tied to your energy, inflammation levels, and ability to truly feel better.

    This is the habit that impacts every other habit.

    In this conversation, you’ll learn:

    • The 5 principles of regenerative farming—and why they matter for your autoimmune symptoms
    • How food raised with soil health in mind boosts nutrient density and reduces inflammation
    • Simple first steps to vote with your food dollars (even if you're not a homesteader or farmer’s market pro)
