Jeff, David, and Mark interview Francis Farmer about Dr. Weston A. Price, a UM grad who studied healthy traditional people.  We learn about how the microflora in our guts are an integral part of our lifeforms, that we should eat lacto-fermented foods and properly sourced/prepared saturated fat, and more about a diet of sacred foods.

Later in the show we have Tai Chi Corner with Sang Kim and the DojoKitchen, and hear how they can train in a t-shirt during a snowstorm.

We’re joined in the studio by Cynthia Koenig of Wello, a social venture committed to bringing safe, potable water to the people who need it most.  Guest co-host Emily Plews helps us figure out why gratitude is so healthy and why keeping your mind from wandering keeps you happier.  Plus a call-in from Gina, mystery tunes from DJ Local, a full season of food politics, and an all-around feel-good time – take a listen, why don’t you?

Listen in and let  John Harnois of Harnois Farms put you in the mood for the most delicious secular holiday of the year – THANKSGIVING!

John hand-raises happy, healthy and sometimes heritage turkeys, chickens, geese and ducks.  Birds so well-lived, you can taste the love.

Thank you to the good folks @ Real Time Farms for the photos (and for keepin’ it real).

Global economic meltdown got you down? Then listen in and let David Klingenberger CFO (Chief Fermentation Officer) of Ann Arbor’s own The Brinery stimulate your inner economy.

After an exxxtraspecial call-in from from America’s Next Top Political Pundit (and hopefully IHIH’s newest political correspondent) Colin Warren, we crunch on turnips, groove on some veggie-themed jams and talk fermentation, local produce, and local business with David – a man who loves pickles even more than we do.

Is all this talk of flavorful, crunchy, organic, local pickled vegetables making your mouth water? Then be sure to check out The Brinery @ the Ann Arbor Farmer’s Market Wednesdays and Saturdays. Your guts will thank you.

xoxo,

the ladies of IHIH

Failure to vote is not a protest, it’s just lazy.

Tune in to get a sense of the mood in DC – hear from the Michigan League of Conservation Voters on who’s greenest on your ballot – from Emily/Judy about the role of business in sustainability and from who we hope will be America’s next top political pundit Colin Warren.

Voting is sexy.

xoxo,

the IHIH family
