236. A Wheat Farmer Reveals What’s Really Happening in Your Flour

What if the solution to America's food problems isn't waiting for the government to fix what's on grocery store shelves? In this episode, we delve into the confusing world of GRAS—“Generally Recognized as Safe”—ingredients and explain what a new FDA proposal could actually mean for the chemicals, additives, preservatives, dyes, sweeteners, and other ingredients making their way into our food. But more importantly, we look beyond the headlines and understand why food reform is so complicated—and why simply celebrating a government announcement may not be enough. You'll come away with a clearer understanding of what's happening, why there are still so many loopholes, and what you can actually do right now to make a difference for your family. And the answer isn't throwing away everything in your pantry. It's taking one simple step at a time: becoming more informed, making one better substitution, learning to make more foods yourself, and ultimately using your purchasing power to tell food companies what you want.

234. What the FDA’s New Food Chemical Proposal REALLY Means

Feel like you're never doing enough? If you look around at what everyone else is doing and feel overwhelmed by all the things you should be doing—eating better, exercising more, sleeping more, taking care of your family better, improving your home, growing your food, building better habits, deepening your relationships—you may need this reminder: you don't have to do it all. Today we're breaking down the 5 pillars that need your attention. Just 5. But more importantly, we're talking about how to make progress without turning healthy living into another source of stress. If you're in a difficult season, or a waiting season, this episode's for you too. Sometimes we're so focused on the next thing that we fail to recognize how far we've already come. And sometimes the season that feels like it's breaking us is actually preparing us for what's next. You'll be encouraged to slow down, notice the good that's already in your life, take one small step at a time, and focus on what's right in front of you instead of worrying about everything else. And don't miss the final section, where Michelle dives into the surprising physical and mental benefits of gratitude and shares what she feels is truly the greatest ways to simplify everything.

I’m Michelle, a former processed food junkie turned real-food enthusiast. My husband and I live on a small New England farm and sugarbush with a lot of gardens. But I’m passionate about helping folks have more real food in their lives, no matter where they live. No farm or garden required. 👋Find me in all the places:My book: https://amzn.to/45Pt8PuMy website: https://soulyrested.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/souly.rested/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/soulyrestedPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/soulyrested/youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@MichelleVisser CONTACT: michelle@soulyrested(dot)com If you listen to any of the following shows, we're sure you'll love ours too!
