Today we talk with Jake Wolki, owner of Wolki Farms and Butchery, who is pushing the envelope on high quality regenerative meat in Australia. Jake brings a unique business perspective to growing a successful regenerative agriculture farm and butchery that also has a strong underlying mission that was started with an initial decision to improve his own health. We discuss The Five Pillars of Wolki Farm that guide Wolki Farm - Animal Welfare, Environmental Backbone, Healing Food, Building Community and Profit. 

This is a great episode particularly for those looking to learn more about how to transition to a successful regenerative farming practice and business. Jake shares detailed information on specific breeds of animals and how animal selection is a major contributor to good animal welfare and successful farming in your particular climate. He particularly talks about the Nguni cattle which is an African breed and very resilient to the Australian climate. He also shares his particular take on running a successful business and how to give back to the community at the same time.

On today’s episode we talk with Natalie West, Clinical Psychotherapist, Self - Image Specialist, and Speaker who has been helping individuals and organisations improve their mental and metabolic health for over 17 years. She combines her extensive qualifications in clinical behavioural science, applied clinical hypnotherapy, neuro-hypnosis, and nutritional psychology to create unique and effective programs that address the root causes of mental and metabolic health, self-image conflict, stress, and poor nutritional behaviours.

We talk about a range of topics around mental health and specifically cover how nutrition and animal based nutrients directly affect mental health. This is an often overlooked consideration in the traditional psychology/psychiatry space which mostly considers psychosocial components and medications with little thought on nutrition. 

If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, then this podcast is a must listen!

Today we talk to Dr. Max Gulhane, a practising medical doctor, GP Registrar and decentralised health educator pioneering Circadian and Quantum Medicine in Australia. 

Max shares his journey into finding ancestral health principles and a ruminant focused diet and how light and circadian biology drastically influences health. We cover a range of topics from how we ended up with the current food guidelines, the specific pathways that light influences our physiology via opsins, melanocortin and POMC, how all this interacts with metabolism and obesity and much more.

In our final episode of our introductory 6 part series we discuss the role of us, as consumers, in supporting sustainability and regenerative agriculture and cover the nuance around the carbon and methane cycle and the role of managing ecosystems which include carnivores, herbivores and plants.

There is a lot of misinformation driven by the plant based community around the role of cattle especially in the carbon and methane cycle, but when you understand how these cycles work, you see that it is completely ridiculous to blame cows for carbon and methane emissions.

On this episode we talk all about FAT. For a long time fat has been wrongly vilified in relation to health. Early research drove a narrative which has been hard to change, but now we are starting to see more evidence come out that fat is not as bad as we thought - in fact it’s fundamental to health. Plus, from an ancestral perspective, it doesn’t make sense that a food we’ve consumed for hundreds of thousands of years is suddenly causing an increase in heart disease.
