RAW: Restoring American Wellness

What if what you ate today affects not only your health, but also the genetic expression of your children AND your grandchildren? Dr. Cate Shanahan is a board-certified family physician, biochemist, and best-selling author of the book "Deep Nutrition," which has influenced thousands of people—including some members of the LA Lakers—to change their diets to achieve optimal health. Dr. Cate’s own experience with conventional symptom-chasing medicine pushed her into the kitchens of healthy traditional cultures for better answers. She shares her research in epigenetics and why she thinks seed oils (and specifically which ones!) are a major culprit in the chronic disease crisis. Plus, she shares practical tips and solutions with RAW listeners. For your—and your future family’s health—you don’t want to miss this one!

Jay and Jennifer sit down with David Stelzer, the CEO of Azure Standard, one of the largest distributors of organic food and household products in the country. David tracks his amazing recovery from being a sickly child to the CEO of a thriving business as well as a third generation farmer in Oregon. David sheds light on the perverted incentive structure of modern crop agriculture and tells us why diverse, small farms that care about quality are a path to financial health for farmers and physical health and well being for consumers. As David says “there’s no substitute for food raised in healthy soil eaten as close to the way God made it as possible.”

Price Foundation, an organization dedicated to the promotion of ancestral diets for optimal nutrition and health. Dr. Weston A.
