Food Slain

So, are you ready to get your SNPs? I know I am, and Angel will tell us exactly what those are and how to get "the data" so that we can begin to customize our approach to wellness.

In this episode, we are talking about inflammation - both acute and chronic inflammation and how the body (and our genetics) plays a role in our body’s response to food. Angel shares so many wonderful tools for us to use so that we can take our M.E.D.S. everyday.

The meds she’s recommending have nothing to do with the pharmaceutical companies, but have everything to do with leading a fit and functional, healthy life. Listen in and welcome to Season Three of Food Slain!

In this episode, we’re talking about growing food. Specifically growing your own food, at least half of what you eat. We’re talking with someone who's done it, is the Founder of The Grow Network and her name is Marjory Wildcraft.

She is on the show, sharing lots of great information about HOW to grow your own food, why you should and how easy it can be. She also talks about how important medicinal herbs are, how you can grow them yourself and why NOW is the perfect time to learn what you need to know to keep your family healthy and safe!

Luckily, she's giving my listeners a special opportunity to take one of her online courses and learn the basics of Home Medicine with plants. Listen to the episode and I hope you enjoy it and share it with someone you love!

In this episode, I'm having a fun conversation with Precious Pioneer, who is a fellow podcast host, a chef and gardener. We share many interests and this week, we just wanted to catch up with each other and talk shop about food, the restaurant industry, imperfect fruit, growing food from seed and food waste, which is something that is incredibly frustrating to us both!

Listen in to the episode and we hope you enjoy it and share it with someone you love!

That's a good question...and there aren't a lot of really good answers but we could draw the conclusion from the research that the only answer is, YES!

In this episode, we’re talking about pet food….specifically dog food. If you’re like me, you like animals, and whether you're a dog person, cat person, bird person, fish person and horse person...we love our pets.

We love them so much so, that according to a survey done by the American Pet Products Association, we spent $29 billion on pet food in 2017 alone.

Despite how much we are spending on them, both cats and dogs are dying from diseases that are associated with being human. Kidney failure, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. In fact, dogs are dying from cancer at an alarming rate.

The question is....WHY? Is there something in the food? Are dog and cat food brands being held accountable? Are the treats we're rewarding them with laced with cancer causing chemicals?

Full Warning : The information might make you feel queasy...

Listen to the full episode and let's dig into the research, the costs and the impacts these pet foods are having on our beloved pets.

In this episode, we're talking about the impact of Type 2 Diabetes on the life of Andre "Dr. Dre Brown", a celebrated hip-hop entertainer and educator, who established himself as a savvy creator of popular culture.

Being visually impaired, he began to research and advocate for better treatment and solutions for diabetes and he’s sharing his story about how he’s seeing life through a new, healthy lens.

This week's episode is the third installment of the podcast series on food additives.

Although Atrazine isn't a food additive in the sense that it is added to our food supply, it is in and on our food, it's in our water and the question is, is it killing more than weeds?

Tune into this week's podcast episode as we discuss the health, ecological and economic impacts of Syngenta's Atrazine herbicide.

The use of herbicides is critical to the success of many farmers. Equally, the non-use of herbicides is critical to the survival of many species - including us!

It's complicated because many farmers have to use pesticides and herbicides to have successful crops so they can make money. But at what cost?

Recently, there were two articles that discussed lawsuits brought against Monsanto, the manufacturer of Dicamba (which I talked about in my Yo, Soy Peaches episode in Season One) and also against Monsanto/Bayer, which settled for $10 billion dollars.

Chow!

In this episode, we’re talking about seafood, because something fishy is going on and it stinks.

This topic was a listener request, so thank you for participating in the discussion and requesting an episode on seafood so that we can dissect what’s going on in our seafood supply chain and dig into what the heck is in the food on our tables.

A lot of seafood is imported into the U.S., and a large percentage of it is "farm raised", which is not only big business but it's also toxic to our environment and our neurological health. What's worse is, so much of the seafood that is imported into the U.S. is done so illegally, it's unregulated and it's unreported.

Just that alone should make you wonder, "what exactly am I eating, what has IT eaten, and where is it from?" Listen in and find out some answers that might leave a "salty" taste in your mouth. And make sure to share this episode with someone you love who eats seafood...their brain will thank you!

This week’s episode is about meat additives and what we don’t know about what is in our meat, why it’s there and what it’s doing to our bodies! Specifically, our kidneys.

In the podcast episode, you’ll hear what these additives are, and we’ll focus on phosphates - because your kidney health matters! Our kidneys regulate blood pressure, and if you’re starting to feel more anxiety with everything that is going on, the LAST thing you need is stressed kidneys!

As you know, we eat a lot of meat in this country, we're still seeing meat shortages and increased prices in meat products at the grocery store. What we don't know, and aren't made aware of is, what "big meat" is putting into and onto our food.

Listen in to find out what these additives are, some which are on our food labels and many that are not...and aren't required to be. :(

I thank you for listening in, subscribing and sharing this episode with someone that you love. I'll see you on the other side of the plate!

Chow.

In this episode we’re talking about sugarcane. Sugar...that sweet, sweet stuff. Now I like sweet treats just as much as the next person but with the global production of sugarcane supplying 80% of sugar consumption in our food, we have to look at the who, the what, the where and why.

The impacts of sugarcane production on our health (especially our children), our environment and our economy are startling. Our "sugar daddy" is the largest corporation producing sugarcane in Florida, and we are getting pimped out, keeping all of us coming back for more - from the cradle to the grave.

Listen in to what I've discovered about where our sugar comes from, what's happening on a global scale, where its influence impacts our politics and how it continues to feed our addiction.

In this episode, I’m interviewing Matt & Sarela who have made it their mission to change the food supply chain game!

They started SIMPLi Good in 2019 with the belief that the best flavors come from the best relationships. They are focused on ethically sourcing food to create a better world - for farmers, for people, for food and for the environment.
